At a gig last night I was discussing one of the main reasons I gravitate towards trip-hop and future-beat is because it has the largest variety of sounds available to it- more so than any other type of music.
|w∆lla| C‘s T∆mborimOdyssey EP is a perfect example- weaving chopped up acoustic guitar, synths, percussion dancing through samba rhythms and intricate aural textures together into a straight up dose of head-nodding syrup. Drink up!

No doubt, Zürich-based Delakeyz makes one of a kind music; strangely reflective, nostalgic and groovy.The vibes are strong here – you can’t shake these house beats.
Get his Organic & Smooth EP for free on Bandcamp right here, it’s pretty important.

Valeda from U.S. based EASTGHOST can boast a whole lot of goodness for a track less than three minutes long (even though it comes close at 2:59). The best beats are ones that draw you in and lead you along till the end, and Valeda does just that- stuttering snappy samples and all.

Style plus ease seems to be the perfect formula for hip-hop production, and Lord Leonator has successfully achieved this in his latest album Dirtport. The Düsseldorf based producer is no stranger to this blog, but he just keeps on giving.
The first track of the album, Can You…? is an animated opener oozing with buoyancy and life, you can feel Leo‘s enthusiasm for music through his cuts and glitches. An energetic launch, this gets you right into the diverse set of raw head-bopping beats of the rest of the album.

I used to have crazy amounts of fun playing as Yoshimitsu in Tekken because he had this one move where he’d stab himself. I was such a sadistic little shit back in my childhood I’d play the game as him just to watch Yoshimitsu stab himself in the gut over and over for my own enjoyment.
Anyway, that’s completley irrelevant when discussing this particular Yoshimitsu collective. Blaster Master displays future-beat at it’s finest; a perfect blend of Fly-Lo style syncopation and engaging sounds. Marisa Tomei shows a subtle hint of down-tempo romanticism and tranquil repose. I’m posting Kaligraph E‘s harder remix of Bugz from a few months back though. It’s a stand out.
You can check out some free downloads if you like what you head from their soundcloud.

Music from Melbourne’s Jahnne has only emerged a month or so ago, but there’s a sophistication and quality present in his releases which suggests he’s been making music under a different alias for a-while longer.
A brief exchange of messages suggests this project is for fun- and that’s how it sounds. The two creations on Soundcloud are up-beat and woven together with joyous enthusiasm- just what I needed to get me through this busy week. And I Would Again For You is a summery tune which brings names like Lemon Jelly to mind. 2.35AM is a little more house-y, perhaps a pinch of Mr. Scruff? Who knows? Why bother comparing when you can enjoy the music:

Calvin Harris sung about life was better in the 80s and artists like Sydney-based Jordan F have been incorporating this theory into their music since the re-emergence of the cheesy synth sounds of chillwave.
There’s something strangely motivational about the sounds of phat-filtered Roland synths and TR-808s, but Jordan F takes it a step further- with just enough modern flair to avoid invoking images of jelly bracelets and, like, totally grody hairdos (see what I did?- 80s slang).
If I was going to go back in time have sex with the hot redhead from the breakfast club… or Ferris Bueller’s girlfriend- I’d have something like Aurora as the soundtrack for sure.
