Matthew Dear

Matthew Dear can do no wrong in my book. Between the early Detroit techno rhythm, the Bowie vocals, and the just general coolness - I am always excited when any of his projects announce new music. "Her Fantasy" is classic Dear, cryptic and hypnotic vocals + a rhythm that compels you to move = stuck in my head for the rest of the month. "Her Fantasy" is off Matthew Dears latest album Beams out August 12th on Ghostly International.

Marcellus Pittman

A nice ambient techno track to ease all of us back into the work week. This comes to us via the good folks over at Boiler Room. I do not know much about Marcellus Pittman, but I do know that this track is perfection. The subtle drums, the ambient synths, and the background little keyboard flourish. Mr. Pittman described the tune as "leaning on the DJ booth at 5 in the morning, having a little cry". Not sure if I am having that reaction, but it does go well with my morning coffee and reports.
