“What a week” is the new track from an L.A.-based duo, Michael Nicastro and Matthew Lieverman, under the guise of Magic Bronson. The pair make woozy electronic soul, and the single builds on their highly regarded self-titled EP, which dropped earlier in the year. After an opening that’s shrouded in echo and hints at the …

Taken from L.A. based post hardcore band Touché Amoré’s recent Stage Four album, Rapture is the latest (the fourth, to be exact) single to be taken from the record.

Not only is A-Trak a stellar producer, seems he ain’t half bad at recognising talent either. LA producer Madeaux was spotted by him, and was signed to Fools Gold following conversations via Twitter DMs. Kill For Me is full of sweeping electronics and slightly menacing vocals emploring the recipient to, well, you know. It veers …

Timcantswim, aka Los Angeles producer Tim Wright, released his electro-house floor filler ‘Breathing Underwater’ last Summer, and Teknofonic Recordings are releasing a new tech-house remix by Brazilian duo Vinci & Darrell digitally on January 26th.
