DJ Shadow's Endtroducing.....!

Hi everyone,

Here's a great Wikipedia summary of this wonderful 1996 record:

Endtroducing..... is the debut studio album by American music producer DJ Shadow, released on September 16, 1996, by Mo' Wax. It is an instrumental hip hop work composed almost entirely of samples from vinyl records. DJ Shadow produced Endtroducing over two years, using an Akai MPC60 sampler and little other equipment. He edited and layered samples to create new tracks of varying moods and tempos.

Just brilliant, timeless &. brilliant!

Venus Ex Machina's Lux & Doxa!

Hi everyone,

Two great albums from Nontokozo F. Sihwa, the composer and producer who makes music as Venus Ex Machina. From Factmag.com: "Trained as a mathematician, Sihwa explores themes of futurism, post-humanism and the phenomenology of radio-related communication through sonic precision, designing instruments, algorithms and oscillations that gesture towards and move through the Black musical traditions of techno, electro and experimental music. Conceiving of performance and her role as performer as a practice of storytelling, Sihwa understands sound as a language of emotion, a means of evocation and invocation. 'The place may be gone, yet you persist in seeking it, believing in the power of fantasy to redeem you from reason . . . A sweaty night underneath a motorway, somewhere. The end of summer. A refusal to give up.'" 

Just WOW.

Hi everyone,

Múm is an amazing Icelandic indietronic band! This, their 1999 debum album (plus some remixes and reinterpretations of the album's songs as bonus tracks), is just wonderfully amazing. A thing of music beauty. Just wow.
