Name: Break Open by Kel_sd
Duration: 4 min 34 s
Description: 'Break Open' Is Kel_sd's first release off of his upcoming album Voids, due out in spring 2018. Break Open is an exploration into the state of music we are experiencing. With machines aiding humans to create, express, and explore the seemingly endless musical landscape, conventional methods no longer apply.

This is the second installment of a little experiment I like to do from time to time. I call it the "Mother's Mashup" series which consists of songs that curiously go together in very uncanny ways. Most of the time a pitch drop here and a speed adjustment there will be all it takes to show that we are all singing the same song. ;)

This little collection of music from other artists that has inspired me recently and If you enjoy any of it, please buy it from the artists.

I begin with Jim James' first track on his solo release called "State Of The Art (A.E.I.O.U)" and mix that with "Dye" off Tycho's latest album "Awake" which is a blast to drive to btw.

Next we have Tor's "Glass and Stone" from his album "Drum Therapy" mixed with James Blake's "Retrograde". No bedroom is complete without James, take my word for it. 

Then we move into a song off my favorite album of 2012, "When Can" by producers Kettel and Secede. Yes, Kettel made it on my last mashup too. The song is "Ringvanes" and is exactly what I'm all about, mystery forest music. This track is complemented with the beat wizardry of Shigeto with his song "Detroit part 1".

The we take a trip back a decade to whom i consider an unsung electronic hero: Cornelius. This japanese producer is incredible and was very influential to me back in the day. He appears here with his awesome watery guitar track "Drop" mixed with one of the coolest hooks I've heard in a while by Ninja Tune's Matrixxman. The song is called "Enter Me"

Finally we get to an awesome energetic track by Machinedrum called "aeolia" mixed with "85-bit" by who could be the greatest unknown producer around: Woob. "85-bit" is off his album "Repurpose" is a musical journey everyone should take at some point. To me, one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.   

Hopefully this is just in time for your long summer drives...

Mother's Mashup 2

Frozen Lake- Damn Animals

With self-descriptions like "medicine hop" and "liquid sunrise," you might think that dusty San Franciscan producer Random Rab moonlights as a homeopathic doctor. The hippocratic oath can breathe easy, though, Rab's anti-anxiety prescriptions come in the form of laid-back electronica beats like the impossibly chill "Dilection." The burner favorite sang in a metal band and played classical trumpet in past lives, so rinse this one thoroughly before he moves on to playing Gamelan disco or something equally esoteric in the near future.
