Tycho – Coastal Brake (Lusine Remix)

September 2nd, 2010  |  by Kyle Suss  |  published in ambient, glitch-hop, remixes  |  1 comment

Let me take this opportunity to discuss my two favorite experimental artists with the Indie Shuffle community: Tycho & Lusine. Both artists create music under Ghostly International alongside those oh-so-sweet pop melodies of School of Seven Bells. An art gallery as well as a design house, this once-coined “boutique label” has branched out to encompass all elements involved in creating a piece of art.

Ladies and gentleman, buckle your proverbial seat belts and prepare to blast off to Planet Royksopp.

O + S – O + S

August 31st, 2010  |  by Kelly Scott  |  published in ambient, dreamwave/chillwave, shoegaze  |  2 comments

O + S do a commendable job at creating encompassing sonic landscapes and amplified atmospheric texture. Generous, digestible, and best served with a stagnant and reflective afternoon, the self-titled O+S delivers.

Chad VanGaalen – Infiniheart

August 30th, 2010  |  by Kelly Scott  |  published in electronica, experimental, folk and acoustic  |  4 comments

In 2005, Chad Vangaalen first came onto the scene with his kaleidoscopic debut, Infiniheart. Inspired by his animations and illustrations, Chad intrinsically weaves strings of electronica and folk into one endearing pattern, all by himself.

Exile follows up last year’s instrumental opus, Radio, with Radio AM/FM, a collection of remixed versions of tracks from the original album. Guest collaborators include Samiyam, Clutchy Hopkins, Grouch & Eligh, Blu, Evidence and Alchemist amongst a wide array of others.

Dirty Vegas – Days Go By (MiMOSA Remix)

August 19th, 2010  |  by Kyle Suss  |  published in electronica, remixes, trip hop  |  2 comments

If you haven’t yet heard of MiMOSA, keep him on your radar because he is blowing up fast. His newest release, the Your Love EP, is a testament to his progression as an artist into a more mature sound than his earlier work.

Live at Outside Lands 2010: Pretty Lights

August 18th, 2010  |  by Taylor Fife  |  published in electro, glitch-hop  |  1 comment

Honestly, Pretty Lights was better than what Outside Lands had to offer him. Playing to a fully ready-to-party crowd just before midnight could have been epic, but instead he did the most he could with a crowd of dead heads and squares lazily waiting for The Strokes and Further.

Little Dragon – Machine Dreams

August 17th, 2010  |  by Christiana Bartolini  |  published in ambient, electro pop, female vocalists  |  6 comments

A miracle happened when sweet-beats R&B knocked up ethereal electro-pop. Little Dragon was born… and make no mistake, people, this is not a bastard child. No, no. They knew exactly what they were doing.

Eskmo – Cloudlight

August 16th, 2010  |  by Kyle Suss  |  published in ambient, dubstep, electronica  |  3 comments

The first single, “Cloudlight,” is a magical exploration of uplifting yet seemingly dark electronic sounds paired with soothing vocals. Sit back and enjoy as you’re taken into the depths of your senses where imagination trumps reality.

Hot Chip – I Feel Better (Max Cooper Remix)

August 12th, 2010  |  by Jason Grishkoff  |  published in progressive house, remixes  |  62 comments

We’ve been longtime fans of Max Cooper over here at Indie Shuffle — back in June we featured two of his remixes as our Song of the Day, and the feedback was phenomenal (just look at how many Facebook likes the man received!). At the time of that first post, we were informed by Max’s publicist that he had something special in the works: a Hot Chip remix.
