Jake Hart

Jake Hart occupies a shadowy smoke filled middle ground between big artists like James Blake and the smaller minimal underground versions like oFF Love. Ethereal male vocals with a soul touch, drifting over soundscapes and minimal beats. Just going from his Soundcloud his earlier stuff seems a bit too upbeat, jangly and touched with guitar. But just don't listen to that stuff. The new tracks are nice post RnB spaced out things.

Crueler

South African post RnB artist Sadhands, who now seems to be called Crueler, has a new EP/demo out called "I As Dancing While She Was Dying". Its a glacial epic, clouded and minimal, lost in echo and distance, half heard vocals, almost at a stand-still beats and a constant sound-scape of low grinding drone and atmosphere. Its part of a sound that has artists from The Weeknd to oFF Love as members, fogged out post RnB epically slow and sensual, drifting beats and ghost tweaked vocals. Download for free from Bandcamp.

New o F F track remixed by Craxxxsoft.

Sadhands

Sadhands are from Cape Town in South Africa and make brilliant down-tempo alt beat shit, all glacial future RnB, ambient and soundscapey, quiet, brooding and dark. It's a good listen and well worth downloading. Reminds me of someone like oOoOO, Clams Casino or oFF.

New oFF Love Tracks!

New oFF Love tracks! Lie From Berlin and a remix to download as well!
The Maya Postepski Guise Dance Mix adds a really nice sound change for oFF adding more upbeat but discordant feelings to the ambient RnB mix, while the two live tracks bring a more raw urgent sound, darker, deeper and insistent while still being really beautiful. Download from the Soundcloud players below!

18+

18+ are a boy girl duo making really out there, minimal slow-low RnB techno jams in secret hidden from the world unleashed in sexual mystery upon a hungry internet world. 

• Like a clear unfuzzed version of Salem where you can hear the words and they're pretty sick. 
• A band all visual and dropped out, beats hardly making it along, raps at 60 frames per second, low slow and 90s, synth stabs echoing through large empty spaces.
• Porno pop fuck tunes for people who cant get off the couch but are still way cooler than the people wigging out on the dance floor a few feet away. 

One of their tunes was featured as the soundtrack to the Fall/Winter Prada collection last year. The most recent video continues with the avatar based video format Hulaing into your brain but with a beat way more uptempo and more minimal house feeling. 
Facebook here. YouTube here. There are no releases, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Myspace or otherwise. Special.

OFF LOVE - Live in Paris

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."

oFF - close to u, i'm not

I read someone say recently that o F F is like somewhere between The Weeknd and James Blake and its a pretty good description, starting off tagged as Witch House this dude is way more ambient R&B and soft core autotune dream hop. Love it! His album Probably Love is set to released soon next year!
