“Drop The Other,” the first e.p. from Emika – and already making a late shout for one of the year’s most auspicious debuts. Even before release, Emika’s has received airplay from tastemaking DJs like Zane Lowe + Mary-Anne Hobbs. On “Drop The Other,” eerie, near-classical piano collides into glitched-out edits and skitering drum patterns, while speaker-shattering lows rub against Emika’s own hushed, cryptic vocals, the iconoclastic blend marking her an artist that makes a habit of defying expectation. Just when you think you know what you’re hearing, Emika flips the script: the cinematic sound architecture evokes the deepest techno, but the tempo moves too slow, the beats too jagged; the sub-bass, meanwhile, could shudder the most underground dubstep club, but it’s paired with haunting, syncopated vocal hooks that suggest Aaliyah’s work with Timbaland taken to its darkest extreme.

 “I make pop, but with a hard edge, playing different sounds and intensities against each other,” she explains. “I try to stay on the fence, leaving room for the listener to create a sense of what its about. It’s all about tension for me.” Tension, indeed. Emika’s music evokes comparison to the visionary likes of the XX, Fever Ray, The Knife, Burial and Circlesquare – artists that stand outside of genre, maintaining an uncanny timelessness of their own. As such, the words and sonics captured on “Drop The Other” prove both utterly catchy but experimental, erotic yet never overtly sexual, clearly confessional but shrouded in mystery.It’s a sound and vision that parallels Emika’s roundabout entrée into becoming a performing artist, a musical journey spiraling from suburban London and inner-city Bristol to cutting-edge Berlin. 

Emika has called in some fantastic remixes. Scuba aka Paul Rose was a London dubstep pioneer, but in 2007 he too relocated to Berlin. His “Vulpine Remix” gets foxy with the original, importing vinyl static, ticking clocks and reversed cymbals, disembodying the vocals and making something deep and driving all at once. GeRM, meanwhile, takes the track “Double Edge” and spin it out into euphoric, glitchy electro-house that has already found its way on to Ministry of Sound playlists.  Emika is also working collaboratively with visual artist Mox, developing designs and video inspired by her music, as well as a kinetic, multimedia live show. Emika's music is full of unexpected emotional alleyways and late-night allure, tones that alternate between crushing and beautiful, beats hypnotic in both the club and in solitude. “Balancing the future and convention, submission and control—that’s very important to me,” Emika concludes. “What I find powerful is the margins: those things inbetween, pointing out but never explaining. It never resolves, so it leaves a pit inside you – but I like the pit.”

Evan is also a producer, specializing in midtempo house cuts designed to sound just as good on the dancefloor as they do on a sandy shore. Over the last two years he has released music on Moodgadget and Drumpoet Community. 

Now, as we crest the June solstice, Evan returns with a three-tracker for Cascine's singles label that's both thoughtful and in control. Anchored by tracks "Slept For Weeks" and "Can't Think So" the EP perfectly captures the burnt edges of mid summer in the city.

Vowels was one of my favorite records of the summer. My good friend @hotelgarudamusic introduced me to it and I've been hooked ever since.

When they sent over the accapella I knew I had to bring it back to 2008 and go Blog Haus. 

New original music is right around the corner ;)

Virtual Self - Ghost Voices (Hex Cougar Flip)

no friends

So a year ago I was drinking on my porch at night when I saw this decrepid sad looking black cat outside on the street. This cat was rail thin, missing fur everywhere, clipped ear - essentially looked like he/or she had seen better days. So me being the altruistic animal expert I am, I heated up some fish and left it out on the street (cause cats like fish right?). Every day that week this cat would come up to the front porch and meow for food, and every day I'd feed her, to the point where she would actively try to slide in the door on my way back in. 

So eventually I caved - even tho I had never had a pet before and didn't know the first thing about cats - and took her over to the vet to get checked out. And suprisingly, she was fine, if somewhat malnourished, vet basically said "there's no chip either so...this is your cat now".

And at first she was ugly, and kinda smelly, and sometimes she still wakes me up by purring in my face until she gets breakfast, but I love her. Her fur grew back in over the course of a few months and now shes a beautiful feline who still enjoys playing more with a nickel or hair tie more than any toy I buy her. 

Anyway, I wanted to write a song from the perspective of Sasha during that time when she came into my life - and I hope the emotional arch of the track reflects those feelings. 

much love & keep in touch ~

GEOTHEORY goes deep on "CLEOPATRA," the first salvo from his expansive new Interstellar Love EP. The New York-bred beat traveler has found his most fantastic planet to date: new age sound design, unpredictable synth leads and deep bass combine for a jam as heavy as it is heady.

Lyrics:
See me on the subway far from home
Had to find a way back on my own
One day I'll be used to being alone (I know it)
Been about a million days but I
Wonder if you still want me to die
Hopefully you'll come to realize

Vroom vroom
I was mistaken
But I never wanted anything else
No I never wanted anything...
Now I know I had to feel the burn
Only other way for me to learn
Until I get a chance for things to turn
I know that...

Ohh ohhh ohh ohh ohh
I know it
Ohh ohhh ohh ohh ohh
I - now I'm in my own
Ohh ohhh ohh ohh ohh
I know it
Ohh ohhh ohh ohh ohh
I - now I'm in my own

Been about a million days but I
Wonder if I call will you reply
Whatever you need to satisfy
You know it
Remember when we used to fill the day
So now it doesn't seem too far away
Cause no one ever seems to feel the same

Been about a million days but I
Wonder if you still want me to die
Hopefully you'll come to realize
Vroom vroom
I was mistaken
But I never wanted anything else
Now I'm on my own

Anything Else

Limbo is a track I’ve been opening my sets with for the past couple shows. 

I made it during a strange time in my life when I was floating between several binaries relating to my career, relationship at the time, and self-esteem. It’s a frustrating time but also a sadly beautiful one that I hope a lot of people can relate to. 

This theme shaded many decisions that went into this release, like the repetitive motif that basically plays all throughout but reoccurs in very different ways. 

Limbo is both my hardest and most vulnerable track to date.
