Bliss - Goodbye Brain, Hello Heart EP
We’re absolutely delighted to put out a third release from Swedish electronic artist Bliss, aka Henrik Jose, over a year after his well-received ‘It’s Not The Sweetness…’ EP. Since then, he’s collaborated with music video directors Pleix (Basement Jaxx, Plaid, Futureshock) on an experimental video, while continuing to work on new material, but shines out his late 2003 vintage in ‘Goodbye Brain, Hello Heart EP’, a shimmering block of entirely instrumental sound produced in his Lund studio with a glorious melange of live instruments and synthesizers.
Thus, eschewing the vocals that sometimes characterize the Bliss-ful sound, ‘You Have Something In Your Scowl’ shows a more contemplative side, almost supernaturally languid in its sound submerging, before we slide into ‘Things Will Eventually Make Sense’ and the beautiful drums mix into the complex melodies, as things start to crystallize. And, indeed, they’re fully crystallized by ‘Time Time Time’, the final track, which builds up an almost robotic Spiritualized, only with the Church Of Robot Wisdom substituted for gospel influences, and Chapterhouse switched in for long-dead bluesmen.And we greet the heart, and the brain recedes, and the curtain falls. Amen.
Desait the Lord of the Illusion
Just found this dude on myspace. Some truly intense beat production & sick layering of sound in some of his tracks. A definite hear-dig is his “The Backery” Feat. Fatenone [ Who I believe is a producer from Ontario, Canada (who has equally sick stylee.)]

Really good shoe. I rocked plenty of canadian music including new stuff from the Dirty Sample and brand new DJ Moves. Plenty of hip hop representation from Canadian rappers like The EquAzn, Chadio, Azrael and Lexington and Whatevski. Other than that, tried to keep it chill and fresh throughout. Enjoy!

Enter The 37th Chamber
As a part of the same Brooklyn funk/soul revival led by groups like the Dap Kings, Budos Band, and Menahan Street Band, El Michels Affair have been on the lips of soul enthusiasts and tastemakers for a while. Fat Beats Records proudly releases their new album “Enter the 37th Chamber,” which picks up where the popular 7”s for “C.R.E.A.M.” and “Bring Da Ruckus” left off—full instrumental reinterpretations of classic tracks by the Wu-Tang Clan. RZA’s raw soundscapes translate perfectly to the vibe of El Michels Affair’s “cinematic soul,” and beats from more than a dozen Wu anthems get proper do-overs courtesy of one of the hottest bands in the biz…Check

Professor Kliq - The Scientific Method, Volume II: Experiments in Sound & Perspective
This is like a very smooth ride through the coolest mall in the world where each store is playing something that at first listen, sounds like something you’ve heard before, but once you get close enough, realize it must not even be from this planet. very sick instrumental electronic music that goes all over the board, but keeps the attention & the groove going for the entire trip.
From the Jamendo Release Page:
“Five years after the completion of “The Scientific Method”, Professor Kliq embarks on yet another endeavor focused on furthering and experimenting with newer and different ideas that he was previously unable to accomplish. Now, five years later, with a more refined understanding of the equipment he has as well as a beginning formal education in recording techniques and software, as well as music theory, the method follows yet another volume. With the goal of expanding on every style of music he has tried before, as well as some new ones, “The Scientific Method, Volume II: Experiments in Sound and Perspective” is the most current culmination of the Professor’s musical and educational progress, as well as captures the perspective of his every day life.
Enjoy this album in its entirety, as it was designed to be listened to front to back, not unlike a film.”
