More kaleidoscopic dance from Caribou. Along with Four Tet’s “There is Love in You”, Caribou’s latest album Swim is one of the most exciting things going on in the electronica scene. Sun basically consists of repetitive vocals that sit on top of psychedelic stresses and releases. Simple and effective.

Late of the Pier is a post-punk electronic band from UK. Their musical style lies somewhere in between Klaxons and Metronomy. They are being produced by Erol Alkan so no wonder Mr.Alkan has been occasionally dropping both the original and the Soulwax remix of “Best in the Class” in his sets.

A hen is only an egg’s way of making another egg.
Leading off Caribou’s impressive new full-length, the swirling, infectious “Odessa” neatly reflects bandleader Dan Snaith’s goal of making “dance music out of water.” If you want to call “Odessa” indie-dance or something, go ahead, but truth be told something this original won’t be easily subsumed under any sort of genre-mashup nomenclature. The ghost of Arthur Russell is in party mode, everywhere from the sweetly naive melody to the track’s dense, kitchen-sink production aesthetic that mixes multiple live-drum loops with electronic samples.

Space Dimension Controller is the alter ego of 19-year-old Belfast-dweller Jack Hamill. His music can be described as a delusional stream of consciousness of an astronaut floating freely in space. Kudos to him for calling is EP “Unidentified Flying Oscillator ” and distributing it for free here.
