Pre-order the "Vessel" 7-inch with the B-side "Wants": http://www.galleryac.com/dan-mangan-blacksmith-vessel-wants.html

After a two year hiatus, an induction into fatherhood, and some time to regroup, two-time JUNO Award-winner Dan Mangan has returned under a new moniker, Dan Mangan + Blacksmith. The new name encompasses the spirit of the project’s longstanding ensemble members joining the band fromVancouver's experimental music community, Kenton Loewen, Gordon Grdina, John Walsh (and often Jesse Zubot, JP carter andTyson Naylor) with a communal sensibility that merits the marquee amendment.

Produced by Colin Stewart and Dan Mangan, Club Meds at times evokes images of subtler American-underground innovators like Blonde Redhead or Steve Reich. At other moments, it hits emotional pay dirt reminiscent of British scene-survivors like Peter Gabriel or Radiohead.  Blacksmith brings an unmistakable character to Club Meds; a stark glassy edge that swells and sways like a roaring ocean. Through a fog of analog feedback loops and synths, the band's performances breathe deeply and steadily like a dragon at rest.

InterCities # 4 (Muundial MixTape)

Bongu

Purchase Physical/Digital: bit.ly/1VClK3u

The Toronto winter of 2016 would seem, to most, an unlikely time and place for the emergence of a record reminiscent of an evening spent meandering through sun baked desert dunes. Somehow, though, on their self-titled debut EP, Sahara were able to overcome the frigid landscape afforded them and approach the spring with an album that feels like it’s never even seen a snowflake. Channeling The Durutti Column and other early-era Factory Records releases, the trio (singer/guitarist Andrew Wilson, guitarist Joseph Elaschuk, and bassist Kayla Devito) draw from those influences, as well as time spent playing in like-minded recent Toronto acts like Little Girls and Mausoleum, to bring forward five tracks of psych-tinged post-punk with a shimmering, summery sound that belies some of their darker leanings.

Prisoner

Do You Still Love Me?

Some familiar faces from the Toronto music scene have teamed up under the banner of the Sulks to deliver a new EP titled Fata Morgana 
 
The band brings together members of Fresh Snow, Grounders and Neon Windbreaker to make the "guitar-drenched, psych-garage dream" of bandleader Chris Bezant a reality. For their debut EP, they enlisted Toronto production wiz Josh Korody and recorded at his local Candle Recording Studio.
 
The Sulks are set to release their first full-length album next year, but you can get an introduction to their raucous sound right now. Let their swirling spirals of fuzzed-out noise suck you in by hitting play on Fata Morgana.

Panther Panther! - Dunobizeh (YEAHMAN! Remix) Snippet

This week I released Chinampa, my second EP inspired by my time spent in Mexico - this time a journey through the urban sprawl of Mexico City.

While we were finishing the EP the French producer Yeahman offered to do a remix and came up with the super refreshing remix of "Salto de Agua" - sprinkled with guitar licks, percussion and organic sounds.

You can download the whole EP including this remix via @wonderwheel-recordings on Bandcamp here:

Since 2013, the Parsian collective Mawimbi (@wearemawimbi) have demonstrated that music has no borders. Consisting of musicians POUVOIR MAGIQUE, SSCK, ALT, L'ENFANT-LOUP, ALT!, and UMEME,  the group spends the majority of their time as a record label and DJ crew. The goal of their mission is to select the finest rhythms and vibes from the Motherland and spread their idea of multicultural club culture across the most famous clubs in France.

However, this description of Mawimbi does not do them justice. The crew doesn’t appear to care about exclusivity or being pretentious. They do their best to not alienate the current club culture by incorporating more conventional forms of dance music like ghetto house, modern highlife and shamanic techno in their projects. This certainly helps lessen the culture shock, making the global journeys they take people on slightly more digestible and familiar. Think of Mawimbi as your trusty tour-guide that will take care of you as they expose you to the alluring soundscapes of places like Soweto, Bamako, and Kinshasa.

The “musical tourism” Mawimbi have carried out the past 4 years has given them a following of over 10,000 people that stretch from Berlin to Pretoria, and Tokyo to Amsterdam. Due to their recent success, the crew is coming out with the second volume to their compilation series Radio Mawimbi.

We were lucky enough to get our hands on the A1, and are quickly becoming fans of Yeahman's remix of Africa Show’s 1960’s song “Massanga.” The song is from Angola, but the remixer hails from Toulouse. Seeming to be a proponent of the old adage “less is more,” Yeahman does not do anything to detract from the original’s feel. Instead, he decides to pick up the record’s sloth-like tempo while blending in an assortment of his own percussion and echoing synths; making it perfect for warm weather excursions to the beach!

To get your a copy of Yeahman’s remix, plus the compilation’s 8 other tracks, simply follow this link to purchase!
