Stream: Dam Mantle, “Her Woes”
Dam Mantle’s “Her Woes” starts off menacing, but quickly flourishes into accelerated rays of house-y light. Clicking breakdowns and a J Dilla sample are little fierce perks along the way. The track is one of … read more »
Download Pictureplane’s Dimensional Rip 7: Thee Physical Remixes
The first thing on Pictureplane’s 19-track tome of Thee Physical remixes, Dimension Rip 7, is 50 unadulterated seconds of Laura Palmer’s theme from Twin Peaks, courtesy of Chapel Hill’s Extreme Animals, and it’s pretty much … read more »
Dam Mantle, “Meet Me In The Ambulance (Becoming Real Remix)” MP3
Becoming Real stomps a heavy boot on this track from Dam Mantle‘s WE EP. While the original resonates like a sleepwalking theme, Becoming Real’s version deepens and intensifies every low-end into a choppy Zomby-like beat, … read more »

Stream: Becoming Real f. Trim, “Like Me” and “Showdown in Chinatown”
Nothing like starting the day off with Becoming Real‘s fractured electronic snaps and pings. It’s not the smoothest way to wake up by any means, like opening you’re bleary eyes and getting punched in the … read more »
