What I'm Listenin' To Right Now: "Letherette"
Electronic music is one of those things that you learn to love or you learn to hate...but if you love it....you love hard...
I've been following an unsigned UK artist, "Letherette," and the music is something I've missed. His style is a mix of lounge/hip-hop/electronic. I just keep expecting Q-tip to come in and go hammy on a verse. Strictly instrumental, which never happens....but see for yourself. Here are three different tracks...very different from each other...but you gotta love 'em all.

No formal album out yet...just remixes on Youtube and iTunes...

What I'm Listenin' To Right Now: Gold Panda's "Lucky Shiner"
London producer "Gold Panda," has finally blessed us with a digital LP entitled, "Lucky Shiner" through Ghostly International in the U.S. and Notown Recordings in London. Though he has had EPs and other short collaborations, this is his first full length album. The completely instrumental, 11 track set (14, if deluxe with 3 bonus tracks) opens up with, "You" and "Vanilla Minus," a sound resembling a hip, Shanghai underworld and then takes us all over the globe with instrumental electronic grooves such as "Same Dream China," a heavy bell driven whimsical track, "India Lately," and "Greek Style." He even has domestic titles like "Parents," which is a calming, guitar only track, "Snow and Taxis," and "Marriage," which has the best dopest base line I've heard in quite awhile from an electronic mix. These tracks have an energy that we don't experience everyday. His album depicts music and light synths (think of Psaap, but instrumental) as a collaboration and transcends the normal path of electronic music. He uses bells, chimes, electronic drums and electric piano and other quirky combinations throughout the whole set, that will make us bob our heads, but stay relaxed in our seats. He even has darker titles like, "I'm With You, But I'm Lonely," a solemn ode to empty relationships, incorporated with a slow intro and switching to a syncopated drum rhythm. Gold Panda is definitely more fit for the lounge crowd and not the crazy techno heads....it definitely comes highly recommended.

Rihanna's Only Girl video!
For some reason when I watch this, I think of the poppy scene in the Wizard of Oz. The flowers are beautiful...vibrant and full of life...just like Rihanna's red wig.:)

What I'm Listenin' To Right Now!
Okay, I am a personal fan of Deerhunter, the Georgian indie-rock group, by themselves, but touched by the hands of DJ Diplo and Montreal producer Lunice, its just a whole other level of love. Listen to this quirky, whimsical track, turned into a spacious world wind of beauty and escape. Elevate with me and listen to "Helicopter."
