Big Mister Doom, an electronica duo based in Leeds, sent me over a couple of tracks this week. These are some fresh, glitchy and atmospheric tunes—similar in style to Telefon Tel Aviv and Eskmo. Turn the volume way up to enjoy crystal clear production and heaps of swirling beats and bleeps.

We Hear You is one of my favorite albums from 2009. If you think you’re unfamiliar with Luke Vibert, maybe you’ve heard of Plug, Wagon Christ, The Ace of Clubs, Kerrier District or Spac Hand Luke—all aliases he’s released material under. We Hear You is a fun, diverse album blending elements from hip hop, house, [...]

We don’t normally post downloadable tracks but since this one is so huge, we had to. Emalkay absolutely kills it! It’s great to see a young producer breathing new life into such a classic band. The original “Sun to Me” was released on iTunes as a free download for one week in December, but the [...]

Among these selections [...]
