Commix “Be True (Burial Remix)” Single-Sided 12″

New vinyl from Burial is a pretty rare occurrence. Rarer still is the possibility that this won’t be snatched up and disappear immediately.

Nite Jewel “Am I Real?” 12″ EP

Romona Gonzalez’s Nite Jewel project is quickly catapulting her to goddess status among hipsters, crate-diggers, future-funk enthusiasts, and music nerds (us).  Her brand of sexy disco dream-pop is easy to get sucked into, it’s pleasant and pretty.  This new EP on Gloriette has six songs, some of which were reworked from past obscure releases, others [...]

After starting out a bit mysterious, some more things are starting to be known about Balam Acab, the mastermind behind this new “See Birds” EP.  First, he’s young, a 19 year old college student.  Secondly, he makes his music entirely from samples he finds around the internet.  Third, he’s on Tri-Angle, and often lumped in [...]

Pete Swanson & Rene Hell “Waiting For The Ladies” LP, Pete Swanson “Where I Was” LP (Self-Released)

Well, we better write this one up while it’s still in stock at Boomkat, even though it doesn’t technically have North American distribution yet.
