Crooked Colours

Australian trio Crooked Colours (comprised of: Philip Slabber, Leon De Baughn, and Liam Merrett-Park) are another attestation that the surge of skilled production from down under is far from waning. Their music evokes the careful chaos of Crystal Castles and the disoriented expressions of Alt-J‘s Thom Greene. They’ve only showcased a few songs, but from what I can tell, they’re moving in a choice direction.

Crooked Remixes

‘10 : Skrillex : Dubstep
‘11 : Dillon Francis : Moombahton
‘12 : Flosstradamus : Trap Musik
‘13 : Disclosure : Deep House

2013 was unquestionably the year of Deep House; Disclosure, captains of the ship. These two brothers from the UK literally became superstars overnight. Suddenly everyone wants to go “vun deeper.” Aside from that, Arcade Fire, Daft Punk, Arctic Monkeys, Classixx, Hot Natured, Gesaffelstein and tons of others released quality albums. Flume pioneered an Australian scene. DirtyBird forged Booty Bass. LMFAO quit music, Daft Punk returned. Beyonce was Beyonce. Deadmau5 was depressed. Kanye West released stuff; nobody liked it. Miley Cyrus twerked; most people loved it. Linsday Lohan became a DJ. Everyone is a DJ.

A lot happened. Anyways, onwards!

This ISN’T a compilation of [THE MOST POPULAR UNDERGROUND MUSIC of 2013].
This IS a romantic list of my [MY PERSONAL FAVORITES].

Chromeo

Our favourite funkateers have been teasing us for quite some time with the release of their upcoming album White Women. Today, they birthed a big single featuring the ever-so-sultry vocals of Chaz Bundick (Toro Y Moi) to help calm our nerves. I don’t know why I didn’t consider this collab before, but it couldn’t be more perfect. We’re bringing in the new year of music right with a big thanks to this feel-good funky-soul track. Catch them on their tour!

ASDEK

ASDEK is a duo from Montpellier who’ve recently added more of a funk touch to their skill in punky electro. These two, borne of the French underground, are blending up something fantastic in today’s saturated sound. They’re prime examples of this whole post-genre movement. Listen to all their songs and you’ll get what I mean.
