A highly anticipated return to music, Portland-based experimental producer Quiet Bison teams up with Reo Cragun on “High Like This.” The lead single to his debut album that’s expected to release early 2021, “High Like This” is a marriage between glitch-hop and interstellar electronica. Quiet Bison has been consistently celebrated by high-profile tastemakers for his forward-thinking and geometric sound design that transcends the mainstream. Although the track is a puzzle piece of obscure sound, it remains approachable and affable. Equal parts banging and mellow, “High Like This” is melodically psychedelic. Stay tuned for more from the budding visionary.

Music, Original MixComment
ᐧ
Ahead of his debut 9-track album, Equanimous delivers “Tahini Kiatsu” via Gravitas Recordings. The spiritual-bass LP boasts nine distinct features from various vocalists and producers. “Tahini Kiatsu” calls on the musical genius of producer and composer Auralponic. Together, the tandem craft meditative, interstellar soundscapes that thrive on kaleidoscopic electronic elements and blissful piano riffs. A layered and well-mixed listening experience, both artists bring their respective talents to the table without clashing. Steeped in a psychedelic bravado that arrives at the intersection of bass and hip-hop, “Tahini Kiatsu” manages to blend a series of genres into a single cocktail of spiritually-resounding rhythms. Its mystic nature is glaring but entirely comforting and approachable. Tailored for a trip to the moon and moments of solitude alike, “Tahini Kiatsu” is only a sliver of Equanimous’ debut album that is slated for release October 2.

MISHA - ILO ILO
Music, Original MixCommentIt has been said there is no greater bond than the one between a boy (or girl) and his dog … and I wholeheartedly agree. I can’t imagine life without my sweet little guy Louie and his puppy kisses. So it bums me to know that this latest track “Misha” from ilo ilo is a love story about a dog. Looks like one of the young producers in this electronic indie dance duo recently went though a break-up … and she took the dog, Misha. This is the 3rd and final single from their Dream Tapes EP. It’s full of smooth whispering vocals with swirly synths over indie electro beats, slick as hell! Stay strong ilo ilo - missing her is hard but hopefully it will get better. SMOOCH!
