Incan Octopus

This month, we’ve got a special treat for you. Our very own Incan Octopus delved deep into the dark. He’s since come back suctioned to tracks that we’ve been hearing all over the underground circuit these past few months. To make it easier for you, he’s thrown them all together for our [free] August 2014 Mix. Enjoy!

Addal

I first found out about Alessandro Addea, stage name: Addal, at the end of Coachella Weekend 1. EMOTIONAL #3 provided the perfect net for the oft-dreaded Coachella Blues. I delved deeper into his sound and lost myself in love with the headiness of Waves ft. Neenah and Morning In Love ft. Lisa May.

A few days ago, along came EMOTIONAL #4; hands down one of the best mixes I’ve heard in a while. The seemingly random, yet undeniably appropriate, genre mix of songs (ZHU and Shiba San come out of nowhere) is an attestation to his skill. It will transport you into another dimension right from the get-go. I’m definitely looking forward to a live set.

ALL THE FEELS

ZHU | Buy THE NIGHTDAY.

After he announced his role in ‘Moves like Ms. Jackson’, ZHU’s name came dripping off everyone’s tongue. ZHU chooses to stay covered by the shroud of his sound; the whole faceless aspect just adds to the deep, dark, and crunchy tech beat and high-pitched vocals. His EP THE NIGHTDAY. just came out and its a superb production of R&B influenced ghetto/deep house for sultry scenes in dark rooms the world over.

Our senses are sated for the time-being. But rest assured, ZHU and his mysterious ‘Generation Why’ movement will be staying in our limelight.

53/60 Days

Curtis Jones (aka Green Velvet, aka Cajmere) will be donning his Cajmere moniker to ‘jack’ up Yuma on Saturday. His album Too Underground for the Mainstage kicked up a storm in the Chicago and Tech House scene in 2013. His classic: ‘Coffee Pot (It’s Time for the Percolator)’ – and remix by Jamie Jones – caught our ear in quite a few sets over the year, and for good reason. Catch us in the pit.

Cajmere – Let’s Work ft. Gene Farris
