Rained In.

Sundays spent lazing around in bed are made all the better when it’s raining outside, and if you needed something that matches this occasion quite perfectly, you’ll want to listen this.

First up is “Sap Solid” by Fun Adults, which demonstrates their ability to mix a number of different genres together in a way that still sounds natural and unarguably beautiful.

Tropics just released a new remix of “Bodies” by Pale Seas which I’m really enjoying.

Next is the latest song off Teen Daze’s upcoming album, The Inner Mansions, which describes his move to an album that’s far more introspective than his first.

This is probably one of my favourite remixes by Sun Glitters.

To end off I have an hour-long mixtape, called “Sadstape 001”, which features more from Sun Glitters, as well a number of others great artists like Nicolas Jaar, Shlohmo, Holy Other and Slow Magic.

Tracklist:

Sun Glitters – Too Much to Lose (Insane Version)
Twin Empire – What I Want
Breton – The Commission
Holy Other – Held
Need a Name – Mamihlapinatapai
Yosi Horikawa – Bubbles
Sun Glitters – Insane (Need a Name Remix)

Ryan Hemsworth – Three Hours In
No Ceremony – Deliverus
Shlohmo – Wen Uuu (Evenings Remix)
LOL Boys – Changes (Shlohmo Remix)

Jonsi and Alex – Indian Summer (Kyson Remix)

Happy Tuesday!

It’s amazing how every day of the week can feel so full of promise and joy when you’re on holiday. It may have something to do with the fact that I’m finally getting my much-needed 12 hours of sleep every night, or that I have a lot more time to scour the internet looking for new music. Either way, life’s looking good at the moment and these songs are pretty much the soundtrack to my happy days.

Slow Magic just released a new song for us to dreamwave to.

I’ve just recently listened to the first, self-titled EP from St. Lucia (South African boy wonder) and this song is my life right now. To listen to the rest of the EP, go here.

A while back, Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti released a cover from their new album, Mature Dreams, called “Baby”. Yesterday, the band released the first piece of original material from the album, called “Only in My Dreams”. Both songs are equally good, and you can listen to them below.

This song was submitted as one of the entries for the After Hours competition that I held last week. Thanks Sean Magner!

To end off my Happy Tuesday I’ll be going to Fiction for a bit of the usual. This week’s Untamed Youth features Rafi, Haasbroek, Stone-Age Citizens and G-zis. There is no better place to love life so I suggest you all be there! For the event page, go here.

Slow Magic. Sun Glitters.

Slow Magic and Sun Glitters are making some pretty amazing dreamwave songs. These 2 bands love remixing each other’s stuff:
