Unmistakably influenced by Japanese instruments, Katuchat’s Lonely Cloud EP emits a sense of weightlessness. His collaboration with Andrea, Rusty Hook, and Fresing only adds to the wonder. Out now via Moose Records.

The San Diego music scene has the reputation of being considerably fragmented across genres. In the early part of the century, Electronic music gained traction thanks to our buddies at LED and SoundLogik. Still, artists at the forefront of the scene appeared in SD sporadically. FNGRS CRSSD was born in early 2013 with the aims of changing the dynamics of the SoCal music scene. CRSSDFEST is that change.

Last week we had the pleasure of freezing our asses off in northern California’s b-e-a-utiful city of Lake Tahoe. The electronic/hip hop festival hybrid saw its fourth anniversary in the woodsy wonderland. Studded with an all-star lineup, SnowGlobe featured some of the more cutting edge acts in the underground electronic music scene…and Atmosphere, who was the only true hip hop act on the bill. Check after the jump for more on the festival and the artists that made it extra special.

Finnish producer Tontario caught the world by surprise with his version of the highly remixed ‘A World Alone’ by Lorde. The simplicity turned it into easy-pickin’ mellow mood setter. Between then and now, he’s been busy with similar summery vibes. His more recent tracks see him venturing into more energetic and experimental realms.

Case in point: his remixes of SOHN‘s ‘Bloodflows’ and MNEK‘s ‘The Rhythm’.

And just like that, another fantastic year of music has passed. As the adventure that is 2015 begins, we look forward to new opportunities. Moscow’s Hyperboloid Records had the same idea with their newest compilation.

#hello2015 features 9 tracks from artists who spent much of 2014 growing the beginnings of their fanbase. Each of whom are now poised for even more. Download the compilation for free and join us in ringing in the New Year with the future of beats and bass.

Fasten your seat belts friends. Prepare for departure. Aeroplane is ready to blast off into discoville with a fuel tank filled to the brim with funk and groove. Didn’t know you could operate machinery with solely funk and groove?! It’s never too late to learn something new.

On the real though, this guy has been one of the most consistent disco house producers in the scene. Once a duo, but now the reigns have been taken by Vito and he’s holding his own quite well. The other guy split off and formed The Magician…you may have heard of him. Vito’s remixes and mixes are something we always can count on to be extremely special. Now we get to see him in the snow on the beautiful lands of Tahoe!

Vito is headlining THE IGLOO stage on Monday night, but he’s also playing an afterparty on a boat with Snakehips that same night!!! Everything I love. Get tickets to that here.

As is customary for year’s end, we must reflect back on our experiences. The way everything came together for us this year in regards to music – album releases, shows, festival appearances, CAD4.0! – definitely makes it one of the best years we’ve had. We’ve put together a top 20 list to recognize our very much opinionated favourite releases of 2014. These twenty albums influenced us in some way or other throughout the year by making us dance, think (or not think), and enjoy life; and they deserve a shout out for that. Onward to bigger and better in 2015!
