[EXPERIMENTAL ROCK/INDIE] OF MONTREAL - “WICKED WISDOM”

// of Montreal’s versatility and breadth of creative brainwaves is hard to grasp, but it’s there, it’s very apparent, and we love it. Hooks have never been so genius and plentiful, yet lost in the confusing and overwhelming musical depth.

[SEX/GODLY] BREAKBOT - ANNIE MAC MINIMIX

[FUNK/HOUSE/DRUM ‘N’ BASS] PHONAT - LEARN TO RECYCLE

// Phonat creates a wonder in electronic music history. Known for dabbling in all things electronic music, this signature masterpiece shifts into three distinct and equally evocative gears, “recycling” the same vocal samples and drums while adding and subtracting the different elements which define the next genre he jumps onto - all in under six minutes. It’s the least anyone suspects — but it’s so sleek, so natural, so cool it is welcomed with open arms.

[HIP-HOP/RAP ELECTRO] CUT CHEMIST - “STORM”

// Cult legend DJ Cut Chemist laid down beats so impressive (listen to that panning!) that his 2006 debut album remains a treasured legacy to many who has listened. “Storm” is the climax of such an accomplished album, a driven and impulsive hip-hop track that is hard to put down or forget.

[POP ALTERNATIVE] THE GO! TEAM - “GET IT TOGETHER”

// “Get It Together” is your facet after a long day - your pick up. The recorder flutes really are rooting for you, and that powerful drum set plays willingly to get you back on your feet. An inspiring tune so vicariously given life and purpose in the emotion it conveys listeners can’t help but be affected.

[ALTERNATIVE ELECTRONICA] SQUAREPUSHER - “INTO THE BLUE”

// Ironic drums, stopping strums and wispy vocals leaves “Into the Blue” a melancholic and charmingly stumbling exploration of music - with the punctual timing of an electronic clock and seemingly nuanced appearance of acoustic guitars. A graying development of music, not so much blue, but just as dangerous and apparently, very much rewarding.

[FRENCH ELECTRO] SEBASTIAN - “ROSS ROSS ROSS”

// Yes, that’s an album art of SebastiAn kissing himself. “Ross Ross Ross” is SebastiAn’s signature classic, with that recognizable brutish drive and blown up sampling his fans have grown to love. Anyone who hasn’t yet heard of SebastiAn begins here; not much else prepares you for what else lies in the dark deep of his discography.
