Today’s tracks are both old and new.


Alka and L’altra both have a clean IDM sound but, still have nice hints of warmth. Listen closely to the subtle bending guitar in L’altra’s “A Day Between”. The 2 tracks by The Notwist and 13 & God are a few years old (04 & 05). I’m a sucker for any artist/track that is influenced by Drum n’ Bass. The last half of “This Room” breaks off into a super moody / temperamental sound with touches of beauty. Such a fitting song for the rainy weather we’ve had in Sacramento, CA lately. If you didn’t know already 13 & God is comprised of both members from The Notwist and the hip hop group “Themselves” from Anticon Recordings.


Also, watch for the samples from the old school “Smash TV” 8-bit game in “Afterclap”.


Enjoy!
