EP Stream: L. Pierre - Surface Noise

Fans of Arab Strap front-man Aidan Moffat might not be too familiar with his outside efforts as L. Pierre. The aesthetic between the two projects is noticeably parallel, with L. Pierre's playing the role of an older, investigative producer. On his brand new EP Surface Noise, available to stream in full below, Moffat explores open lanes of space and vintage-sounding scratches, parlaying between indignantly modern styles while visiting haunting older sounds.

Mix: Pearson Sound's Guide to the Music of Dave Huisman

Days ahead of Hessle Audio's August 2 set at Fabric in London, label co-founder Pearson Sound has strung together a mix of tracks from Dutch producer Dave Huisman. The name might not be terribly well known, considering Huisman has an array of aliases, including as A Made Up Sound, Dogdaze, and 2562 - whom he will be performing as during the August 2 set. Stream/download the entire mix below and head over to FACT for the tracklist.

Stream: Toy Light - Sign Of Life EP

Los Angeles producer and multi-instrumentalist Toy Light takes self-motivation to fairly high heights on his brand new Sign Of Life EP. The five-track album, which is available at a name your own price rate over at Bandcamp, touched up every microcosm of detail himself, performing all of the EP's compositions on his own. The only thing that makes knowing that better is the fact that its pretty damn good too. Stream below.

Stream: VINDATA - Paradigms EP

Los Angeles production collective VINDATA have a brand new mutli-versed EP, Paradigms, free to download. The four track production never settles within one branded note, changing approach with every track on the release. What results is an 18-minute blend of alluring and ever-changing flow of progressions, leaving everyone wanting a little more. Stream/download it below.

Stream: Jackie O - Psiconautica Vol​.​1

Jackie O's Psiconautica Vol. 1 slips delicately through the cracks in an ever-growing range of warming and welcoming modern Euro electro. Filling more on the side of the chill (the genre, not the college adjective of "how you feel"), the earthy production is as harmonious as it is sweet and mysterious.

The Milan producer's work will be distributed digitally July 8, with only 100 physical copies (pre-order here) going out July 29 on Apparel Music. For now, stream several of the available tracks from the release below.

Ras G and WULU - Mercury RetroFADED EP

Brainfeeder alum Ras G, who even among the imprint's crew is known to be one of the more odd-ball figures, released this brand new collaborative EP with London producer WULU, Mercury RetroFADED. Like anything that you might expect from Ras, the effort is fairly off-the-wall, murky, and downright inspiring. The samples and hooks turn and spin into totally left-field abnormalities, with clouded production giving another wonderful element. It's only five-plus minutes long, however, but is available to stream below.

Stream: Nicolas Jaar - Daftside (Random Access Memories Remixes)

Just so you know, the adornment of Nicolas Jaar has now exploded ten-fold. The visionary 23-year-old producer, two years after the release of the seminal Space Is Only Noise LP (and numerous other small efforts in between), has crafted the otherwordly Daftside. The album (named in the same ilk of his 2011 EP DARKSIDE) completely recraft's Daft Punk's Random Access Memories into something completely new and bewildering. While some arrangements and signatures from the original album are still in tow, Daftside is largely a completely new sounding concept. It's an absolute must-listen, below.

Stream: Handbook - Rare Ivory EP

The latest release from UK producer Handbook, the Rare Ivory EP, is largely constructed out of piano-laden concepts - in case that wasn't apparent from the title or album cover. The four original instrumentals fill out with plush piano circulating throughout, driven by heavy soul beats in between the lines.

The EP also boasts some feverish remixes from the likes of Astronautica, Mike Gao, Benedek, and Papi, filling out the free download quite nicely. Stream the whole thing below, or head to Handbook's Bandcamp for the download.

Stream: Ryan Hemsworth - Still Awake EP

Early last week, Montreal's Ryan Hemsworth dropped the lead single "Perfectly" from his Still Awake EP, which he made available to stream in its entirety. It's another notch in the young producer's ever-expanding belt, which includes countless remixes and mixtapes just from the first half of 2013 alone.

Stream the Still Awake EP below, or download the whole thing for yourself (not a bad idea) here.

EP Stream: Lord RAJA - Rubies

The latest member in Ghostly International's ever-growing list of ultra-impressive producers is 21-year-old Lord RAJA. Jeremiah Jae fans might recognize the name, as the two have teamed up as Raja Black in the previous months, with RAJA playing the producer role.

Today, RAJA debuted his brand new Rubies EP, which is completely free to download. The six track EP, also available to stream below, touches on hip-hop samples but mostly stays afloat with supreme atmospheric touches. And the deeper it goes, the more textures reveal themselves.

Weval - Half Age EP

Dutch producer duo Harm Coolen and Merijn Scholte are two of the newer additions to emerging label Atomnation. Weval (Derived from the Dutch word for "Waterfall") combine elements of acid-like jazz, dripping atmospheres, and minimalist house beats on the duo's debut EP Half Age.

Grab the EP today via the aforementioned Atomnation or listen to the full stream below.

Stream: Blac Hollywood - Kids With Crowns EP

Floating in from Vancouver is little-known hip-hop electro producer Blac Hollywood, and his brand new jubilant and spaced out five-track Kids With Crowns EP. The offering clings with hip-hop strides, but punches through on heavy static electric strength. Hollywood offers vocal renditions on a few tracks, but rather uses the rhythm as a means of conveyance to bring the overall theme home.

Stream and/or download the entire EP below.
