Today’s Untz : Shine / Digitaria

Brazilian duo Digitaria get set to ‘Shine’ even brighter with a highly anticipated second EP for the one and only Hot Creations. A potent mix of sweetly sensual vocals and dreamy electro pop with a kick for the dance floor. #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Night Swimming feat Alyssa / Cameo Culture

From Nowhere / Dan Croll

It’s Monday and I’m swamped with work so here are two oldies that have gotten a fair amount of air time today. Sweet blog post right? #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Only You Can Show Me (feat Mereki) / Goldroom 

As a long time Goldroom fan (musically and when he contributed often to his blog/label Binary Entertainment) I can honestly say I’ve always loved everyone of his productions or remixes.

I’ve been to LA a number of times, but every time I listen to him I swear I feel like I’ve lived there for years. And I’m not talking West Hollywood. I’m talking everything that’s great about LA… warm weather, palm trees, sunshine, beautiful people, good vibes… His music just oozes with it.

I’m planning on catching him here in SF soon with Viceroy. I’m pumped to check out his live setup. “Only You Can Show Me” instantly seems like a song that will make the transition to a live band seamlessly especially with that percussion.

Mereki, featured on this track, happens to be a part of the live show as well. If the pictures Goldroom loved to put up on his blog say anything she’s surely just as attractively LA as her voice is beautiful. I’m  looking forward to this one. #untz/tom

Today’s Induntz: Light Out / Javelin

Javelin is out with a new album and this is the first song I’ve heard so far. What do you think?

Hi Beams is their highly anticipated second full length album on Luaka Bop and represents a more holistic approach to writing and recording. Lyrics and vocal harmonies are for the first time fore- grounded in decidedly songlike forms, while songs are made to be performed in concert rather than as a patchwork of fragmented if glittery shards.

Today’s Untz: This Is How We Do It (Viceroy Jetlife Remix) / Montell Jordan

Viceroy is certainly loved in and around the hypem blog world so I imagine this has been posted by a zillion blogs already. There’s a reason for it though. He continues to blast us with remixed tropical sounds to a number of indie songs as well as crucial remixes of 90’s classics. He has some great original productions as well.

For his 5th installment of his Jetlife remixes he takes on Montell Jordan who himself praised Viceroy for this fresh take on his hit single. I still can’t believe I haven’t seen him being from the Bay area and all. This needs to change… and change soon. #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Spiderwebbed / Stumbleine

Emerging from the ever fertile music scene of Bristol, UK, rising electronic producer Stumbleine has already built a sizeable following with several self-released EPs and a recent compilation album, in addition to collaborative outings with fellow producer ASA. He also reports for active duty as one third of dubstep envelope pushers Swarms, whose music has found favour among tastemaker DJs such as Mary Anne Hobbs.

On Spiderwebbed, his enrapturing, genre transcending debut album proper; Stumbleine beautifully showcases the multifaceted nature of his music, seamlessly weaving fractured beats, synths, hazy distorted guitars and soulful vocals, to create glowing, expansive sonic vistas.

Today’s Untz: River’s Edge / Rainbow Arabia

‘Inspired by the purchase of a Lebanese synthesizer playing microtonal scales and lo-fi Eastern drum patterns, Rainbow Arabia began a escapist diversion from Danny and Tiffany Preston’s day jobs. The demos they recorded, which were written and put to tape in a matter of a days, became their debut, The Basta. Barely existing for only a few months, the married couple were picked out of the ether by NYC sonic alchemists/kindred spirits Gang Gang Dance to support them on a cross-continental tour in 2008. Once they got back (and to their surprise) they quickly found themselves a legitimate act with acclaim from PITCHFORK, THE FADER, XLR8R, NME, in addition to a word-of-mouth groundswell for their fresh, contemporary East meets West take on the Sublime Frequencies catalog that inspired them so much in the first place.’ #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Flex (Aeroplane Remix) / Pool

“The internationally renowned and adored producer Vito de Luca a.k.a. Aeroplane puts his own spin on ‘Flex’ with an incredibly smooth and sexy remix. 50 BPM slower than the original, Aeroplane honours the guitars and vocals, weaving the elements into his own spacious disco style.” #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: No One / Moon Boots

“After getting caught in an asteroid belt and heroically breaking free, I’ve returned with new music. Free download, as always. Share if you care.” – Moon Boots.

Well I do care Moon Boots and thus I must share. I am extremely grateful for coming across his cosmic productions some time back. The trip thus far has been a good one and I look forward to hearing more of what he has to offer. Hopefully I get a chance to see him live sometime as well. #untz/tom
