From the murky underbelly depths of Canada's Okanagan Valley acid scene to the rock Lucifer inferno of the big smoke, hallucinogenic poet and tribal witch doctor, sign language prophet and speed delay-time traveler Alixander lll (of Azari & lll fame) who's analogue digital exploits continue alongside the delectably delicious Melleefresh. Raised by Carebears in Care-a-lot, who hails from Candyfloss and embodies both the sultry style and adorable cuteness of one destined to reign in Diva Clubland 

Her talent as a singer, songwriter and performer exploded with her famous partnership with deadmau5. Their first remix of a Melleefresh & Dirty 30's trak, Beautiful Rich and Horny resulted in a succession of number 1 hot'n dirty hits.

Mellee and Alixander lll connected at Dirty Louie’s in Koboconk, a truck ‘em up stop on the way to Vegas. He offered her a ride on his Harley and the next thing you know they were rolling the dice and chugging back Jagermeister and the songs and lyrics were once again flowing like peanut butter and ice cream!

He left her there to hitchhike home alone...BASTARD! The results, "My Life (Without You)"

Their original mix is an intoxicating mix of dirty analogue lines, percussive sounds and tumbling drums. It’s grinding tech music for floors that like it dirty and gets the EP off to a fine start. 

On remix duties are the Paris native, Bobmo who delivers some studio magic with a warm tech house offering, meandering between funk and veering off in the occasional wonky direction. An incredible piece of work that will devastate any of the 'cooler' dancefloors. Lastly, Italian maestro Michele Pinna delivers a slick techno cut, full with warm layers and cool fx bringing depth to this special soundscape. This remix is an amazing builder full of depth and drive & serves as a great finish to this amazing package.

Essential!

Hospitality return with the follow-up to their glowing 2012 debut with a darker, richer collection of eclectic avant pop in Trouble. Taking unexpected yet satisfying turns, the new album sees the band offer up a moodier palette, with more instances of space and silence, looser arrangements and more open production.
 
The album draws on the expansive sound of 70s progressive rock and the minimalist urgency of post punk, citing specifically King Crimson’s "In The Wake of Poseidon", Arthur Russell and Wire as influences.
 
"Sweet at the core but pleasantly dark around the edges." Uncut

"Like Sleater-Kinney reimagined for synth-pop teens." Mojo

"takes a different direction from what was heard on the debut, embracing dark, dour synths and vocalist Amber Papini's slightly growling lower register." Pitchfork

“Papini’s lyrics are witty, and if you let her songs—which range from toe-tapping power pop to amped-up folk—into your head, they’ll stay there.” —The New Yorker

White Reaper - Half Bad

Taken from  Glitterbug's upcoming album 'Dust' (out May 12th in Germany and on June 9th 2014 in the UK and rest of the world) on Gold Panda's Notown Recordings, ‘1st of July’ is a sunrise techno hymn that slowly builds into raving arpeggios and smothered high hats, it’s clearly the albums most pressing dance track, that feels as if the entire track order built up to it. 

***

About Dust

Glitterbug's releases and remixes have long placed him in a musical and artistic category of his own. He is a timeless, skillful producer, immune to hypes or seasonal sub-genre fashions, leading his own musical language that spans between deep techno and abstract intimate compositions, always poignant with score-like textures. 

Dust, Glitterbug’s fourth studio album, sees the artist and producer continue his path of exploring musical frontiers beyond the beaten tracks of current electronic dance music. 
Dust is an album about hidden remains and traces. It follows things and people that were, past lives and stories that silently echo through deserts fields, overgrown forests, urban decay, and our homes, staircases and attics.
It’s not by chance that ‘Dust’ is released on Gold Panda’s NOTOWN Recordings label. Not only is there a loving friendship and previous collaborations between the two, but ‘Dust’ also picks up the pieces where Gold Panda left off with “Half Of Where You Live” that celebrated modern urbanity and man made things. 
Glitterbug’s ‘Dust’ takes this notion a step further and explores the urban shadows of the forgotten, the stories of our cities that remain untold, past landscapes that evaporated and memories left behind over time.
If Glitterbug is known for his dense, extended, autobiographical journeys, this album turns like pages of a story book, visiting different people and places, traveling across continents and beyond time, intertwined and interconnected.
Glitterbug carries his renowned visual language with each track exploring an almost perceptible location, so specific you can tell the hour by the sun’s angle, and feel the wind hit your face carrying a particular smell. It’s a travelogue of the ghosts and spirits that never had a chance to come back.
