Cashmere Cat | Soundcloud

It seems like way longer than a year and a half since Magnus August Høiberg aka Cashmere Cat stormed the scene with his unique style of bass music with his debut ‘Mirror Maru EP’. Kitty’s managed to stay busy since then, dropping a handful of remixes that found steady rotation from heavy hitters like Hudson Mohawke, Diplo and Baauer. He returns gloriously to a scene that’s become stale and diluted with his ‘Wedding Bells EP’ with layers, instruments, ranges and ambitions suitable for an LP. The blissed out vibes we saw in ‘Mirror Maru’ have become a bit more melancholic and dazed. The dissonance between the heavy 808 style bass and the twinkling melodies creates a contrast that can best be summed up as beautifully eerie weirdness. Cashmere Cat changes up his signature sound to stay fresh on his sophomore EP. Yet, as soon as you fire it up, you’ll appreciate that kitty’s still got you dancing in mind.

Up to this point, I’ve restricted ‘On the Contrary’ posts to disco house. Let’s change that. Good music has been pouring in from every corner of the genre spectrum. Highlights include Nicolas Jaar’s futuristic and intuitive new style, Maribou State’s late night vibes and Russ Chime‘s catchy riffs. From UK bass, trapstyle, downtempo to the blues… Here’s something for everyone:

20 tracks after the jump
