A Lesson In Solace by Hexagon Sun & The Sepia Raven
You know that moment in deep space when the controls seize up and the ship starts into a degenerating barrel role that you know can only end up in you spiralling into the gas giant ahead, the hull torn to shreds by the encroaching rings of dust and rock that circle it in perpetuity, the solar wings blasted away, the power fails and all that's left is to burn up on the bright acidic atmosphere hurtling towards you at over 4000 miles an hour. You don't want to look, don't want to be think about it but somehow you cant tear your eyes away as the glass of the flight deck cracks and shudders glowing brightly in the new dawn as the ship burns away to nothing, a molten chaos of a meteor streaking across the feral sky of an unknown world.
You know that one? Well Hexagon Sun and The Sepia Raven have collaborated in order to bring you the soundtrack for that moment. Called " A lesson In Sollace" it's an album out on Dataplex Records, a net-label based in Long Island, New York and it's free to download from Bandcamp.

magn∆Carta
Slow synth doom, minimal and epic it crushes along on a huge scale as if recorded in a satanic cathedral. The artist is magn∆Carta. "Did she die in vain?" No Americans will get that and as magn∆Carta comes from the states he or she can be forgiven for the name somewhat. Go download this track for free from Soundcloud.
Actually Huizenga NSFW
Actually Huizenga is like some kind of LA synth pop porn princess who makes sickly crooning 80s electroclash all sweat and thongs and peroxide 80s hair. It's that kind of thing that rests close on the edge of art-house genius or cheap trash. Is it post-modern soft-core porn in a soft focus 80s style with an equivalent soundtrack or is it actually just soft-core porn with a dated soundtrack. Who can tell these days. It's fun either way.
Her Soundcloud has a bunch of free downloads if you scroll further down her page and you should go check out her YouTube channel for loads more budget video erotic madness.

Tough Troubles - Romances
Tough Troubles bio starts when; "the Holloway had burnt down. Feeling unsafe and betrayed by local health and safety by-laws, local men were looking for a place of togetherness and peace. Fi Fi and Mi Mi met at Argos on the corner of Holloway road and Isledon road. Mi Mi was flicking through the shelving section of the catalogue when Fi Fi struck up a conversation about the flimsiness of the cd storage unit he had recently assembled. Gi Gi supplied the Korean snacks... and the rest happens at the local arts center, a safe and inclusive environment."
There are so many genres and sounds flowing through this four piece bands DIY album Romances. It's a cornucopia of influences, grungy garage rock one track, experimental noise the next, it even goes all post punk and darkwave on your ears at points.
Go download it for free (name your price) from Bandcamp now.

Fire Eyes.
The tenth release on Palm Springs' Random Acts Of Vinyl label is the debut single from Brighton-based duo FIRE EYES. This limited edition vinyl 7" and download offers a first taste of their forthcoming debut album, scheduled for release in 2012. Buy it here.
FIRE EYES are ex-Drift Records collaborator Sally Megee, formerly of Cottonmouth Rocks and Paul Beat from dirty blues rockers Mudlow. Together they push drum-machine beats, quivering tremelo guitars and haunting vocals driving whirlwind-style from the forest to the desert under a ceiling of stars towards the distant horizon.

Diamond Black Hearted Boy - future uploader
I hadn't check up on anything from Diamond Black Hearted Boy for a while and so I discover he has been uploading from the future! 2037, 2029 and December 2012! It all makes sense now, these art piece minimal mash-techno alt hip-hop house tracks filled with samples and boundery pushing, genre mining sounds. One track uploaded sometime in December 2012, probably on the go as he evades the conscription gangs roaming the Russian Caucasus, is a look back at the genre of Seapunk. Called Dummy its a brilliant splash of a track, with a minimal water filled "Pirate Bay of the Caribbean" feel.
Moving further ahead in time Diamond Black Hearted Boy seems to be inspired by looking back to a more simple time of 90s house vocals but put through the filters of the present time in 2029... droning synths and spaced out nocturnal echoes backing an epic looped vocal.
Next we push forward even further to 2037, with the track entitled: "damaged mecha walking through the outskirts of neo-dubai (its dark and hell is hot" more of a diary entry from a future club sight, this intense warning-siren filled track floats with oil filled energy and cascading avatar vocals, reverberating in the middle eastern night, as the bombs crawl across the dessert in search of new owners. Blam this shit is good. I just hope this dude gets back to our time ok. But hey if he is flitting between eras why come back to early 2012.. why not head off in time to '87 or '92 and avoid all the chaos. All his tracks are available for free download from the Bandcamp.

Thug Entrancer
Slow minimal ambient techno shit for you today; so good, so clean, so sexy. Thug Entrancer released Tropics Mind Volume 1 and 2 about 3 months ago.. its awesome. Clear and pulsing its crisp ice beats and squelching synths conjure up an ice bound Chicago shifting in time between 1987 and 2033. Also.. what a name! Fuck you cant loose with something like that!
The two releases are available to download for free (or name you price) from the Thug Entrancer Bandcamp. Go get them you wont be disappointed.

Vogue Witch Night this Friday in Milan
High Park - Live Slow
High Park has been a With House stalwart since the inception of the idea back in 2010 but this new release on Phantasma Disques is a real beauty, a real mix of sounds and beats. Despite the album being called Live Slow it's in no way a fuzzed out Witch House dirge fest rather its a dynamic beat filled album that really bounces along at points, with space and textures and constant interest points. Well good, a really surprising sound. Download it here for free or buy a signed CD here.

Hausu EP
The Weeknd - Balloons of Haus (Produced by Chi Duly)
Here's Chi Duly remix project of Balloons of Haus by The Weeknd. You can download it all from the Soundcloud player below.
"Balloons of Haus is house music for the "I'm not really into techno" folks. It's uptempo but more to the point (free of those minute long intros/breakdowns of arbitrary ambience). The concept was born of my interest in bringing The Weeknd's vibe to a DJ set. He's talking about what every other artist you hear in the club is talking about except he's artistic, emotionally believable. The Weeknd's subject matter is already club friendly. The pace however was only bedroom friendly. My project still retains that laid back, mellow uptempo R&B vibe but picks up on a harder electro vibe with the Dirty Diana remix. It's all around a very diverse range of house music genres."

Ripostes by GPSYMTH
The debut album by GPSYMTH is out now (I guess you pronounce that Gipsy Moth.) Called Ripostes it's a nine track release full of glittering Chillwave dream-pop wonder and nostalgic cloud floating warmth. Ambient and drifting and throbbing with quiet magic this album is a slow melting dream soundtrack to astral projections in the Elysian Fields. Go download it for a measly $2 from Bandcamp now.

Free download from Veils.
Just released this February comes an EP out of Portugal by Veils. Very much a Witch House sound all saw-toothed over driven synth drones, off kilter down tempo beats and echoing ethereal vocals its a sound we have heard before quite a bit. But this is good, like really good if you like the kind of sound Witch House artists produced, this is something special because its so nicely put together. Its epic and rumbling like the best tracks by Ritualz and it's beautiful and delicate like something from Salem when they're on a comedown. Go download it for free from Bandcamp.

Acid Kicks
Here's another great American guitar band only this one hasn't any guitars in it. Acid Kicks is made up of three bass players and one drummer. Hailing from Philadelphia they make a cacophony of punk prog sound, epic swirling sludge and and rocking psychedelia, like Hawkind running into a band like Gonga or Teeth Of The Sea and deciding to get their gay skinhead mates to chase them through town. It's brilliant stuff.
Go download their "Life Dreams" 7inch release from Bandcamp for $4. If you spend a bit more then you can get the vinyl and if you spend a bit more than that then they will send you a dreamcatcher with the release as well! There's also a slightly more recent live release -"Live At Silk City" which you can download from their Bandcamp for free if you want.

Free download of Fiveng's new single.
Two new tracks by California's Fiveng - the first "It don't Mean Shit" is a monumental pop prog ditty that I would swear samples Guns And Roses at the start, while the second is an equally grandiose dream pop track called "The Love I Seek."
Go download them for free from Fivengs Bandcamp now.
Ritualz - III (Instrumental) video

o F F - CloseToU (oOoOO Remix)
o F F is fast becoming one of my favorite artists of the moment. This guy is just making some amazing music and producing a sound that is really unique - really pop and R&B but also Witch House ambient post dubstep stuff. Awesome. Live as well he is a force to keep you engaged and enthralled throughout as he stalks the stage handing out roses to girls in the audience his face obscured just like in his promo pics with a black and white ying-yang scarf. The CloseToU single has just got a remix by the equally brilliant oOoOO turning it a bit more post trance and skittish, a nervous little beat pulsing through the track. Go download from Soundcloud now.
"close to u i dream of
close to i i'm not
valentine day is here
oOoOO made it sound like a dream
u and me it was very special..
it's been years but
i still miss u dear m."

Thought Tempo - winter sex tunes
Echoes of long lost summers and far away beaches. Dark notes on future raves, quiet half heard trance riffs slowly floating through a hazy atmosphere of blinking winter lights.
Slow low sexy flows, ambient hip hop beats trickling down from on high. Go see and hear.

Brigitte Roussel solo single
One half of Nac Hut Report, Brigitte Roussel, has gone all solo on us and released a solo single which you can download for free direct from the Soundcloud players below. Its an intense industrial noise and abstract sound piece, all macabre and gothic, slow low and dark. Great stuff.

Soft Lighting
Soft Lighting is Bryan Cox, a Kansas City based musician/producer, so no not "that" Brian Cox. Soft Lighting's sounds are all Shoe Gaze, Italo Disco, 80s film soundtracks and warm bouncing Chillwave. The sort of music to climb into a nearby womb with and make out surrounded by slowly undulating candyfloss dream clouds. It's melancholic in that glorious warm and self destructive way that songs sometimes can be, droning and melodic, like being hugged by a woolly xylophone.
Soft Lighting's debut album will be released soon on Synthemesc Recordings. In the mean
time check out this track.

Drrty Pharms
Drrty Pharms rocks from LA making Haunted Juke Minimal Wave Witch House sounds and describes their influences as love, disgust, shame, guilt, self-pity, romantic period classical, juke, sex, drama, death, Disney, occultism, black people, Freud, Bataille, The Torah, Nietzsche, Hitler, the cold, isolation, facebook, Burial, Glenn Branca, trauma, repression, Futurism.
LOLs on a major scale, but its it nice and I like it and we can take it serious and get into it or just step back a bit appreciate the zeitgeist and laugh if we happen to be in the "chuckle" demographic. It's all free to download from Soundcloud. and this artist has loads of tracks on Bandcamp too! Like LOADS!

Anbuley - The Ghanaian Rihanna...
From the same label that gave you MonsterHeart comes Anbuley. Anbuley is an Ghanaian/Austrian artist based in Vienna who makes an Afro-European take on club music. Her EP ‘Kemo′ Yoo Keke‘ is available now from the Seayou Records Bandcamp for €3 ot you can go download the WAV long edit of the single from Soundcloud. It's weird and kinda really good and I don't know where to put it other than to say it would go down really well in a DJ set when no-one was expecting it and you could sort of call her the Ghanaian Rihanna!

Mascara & //TENSE// track
Mascara & //TENSE// - Empire of Man.
I missed this doom filled track when it came out three months ago, its part of a split 7" with Slow Head on Tundra Dubs. Its pretty damn awesome and ponderously epic!

Pictureplane - Gucci Goth mixtape!
Exclusive mix for Gucci Goth Tumblr!
“Made up of using lots of delay and slightly slowed big room and anthemic 120bpm house music. Think of Ibiza in a k hole. But with a light at the end of the tunnel. Everything I do is filled with love. There is no tracklisting because a lot of the tracks are very very different sounding than from what they sound like normally. The title of the mix is a literary reference to the essay “Poetic Terrorism” by Hakim Bey. The mix is meant to give strength to the listener.”
Go download if from the Gucci Goth blog.
zimní son by milky toad + chikiss
Zimní Son is a collaborative album between Russian electronic artists Milky Toad and Chikiss. It's a wonderful lo-fi electronic folk masterpiece of an album full of whispered crystalline tundra ambiance. Just look at the album cover it says it all. With its orgasmic retro synths and upbeat VHS mood this is like Chillwave if it was about winter wonderlands rather than summer beach ones. Beautiful. Go download the album for only $1 from the Dopefish Family Bandcamp, it's well worth it because it is just so beautiful and different!
▼▼◯ ▛ ◣▷ T◯▼▛ - new video!
Brilliant video here from World Tour, strobing through the night like a flickering rave of madness. The band will shortly be releasing their debut disk with limited edition print from Phantasma Disques, six unheard tracks that will only be available on disc and not digital download! In the meantime go check out their Soundcloud for some great tracks which you can get for free.
