The Field – Looping State of Mind
AKA Axel Willner. Where has this guy been my whole life? Definitely in my top list now; some of these tunes are simple and brilliant. Can't decide between the first two tracks on this album, so including them both.

Washed Out – You’ll See It (Midland Remix)
Didn't see this get mentioned in a lot of music blogs, but thought this remix really tops most Washed Out remixes.

Total Control – See More Glass
Some nice droney stuff from a local outfit called Total Control. Nice for the late night Maccas drive.

Some tunes from Option Command
Not too sure what happened, but Broken Chip are now Option Command. I saw Broken Chip live a few years back and it was grand; guys with laptops, synthesizers and a cheap projector in a tiny room doing it 'right'. This is some of their tunes.
Funky.

Neon Indian – Ephemeral Artery (Darby Cicci of The Antlers – Fresh Breath Mix)
Been playing this on repeat for a while; sounds of an incomplete song that never quite gets right out there, but that's the point (especially if you've heard the original one). Like an unfinished love story that ends anyway. Not everyone's cup of tea but I like it. Find it in Neon Indian's older album; worth the purchase.

The Field – Sweet Slow Baby
Excuse the sentimental crap, but I like walking to this when the sun is setting. It's all emotional and shit.

death in vegas – loft MV
I think this is the official music video for the new Death in Vegas single. It is very good.

Sleep ∞ Over – Romantic Streams
A few music blogs described this best as 'trag- jam' (tragic jam?); a lot of heavy riffs reminiscent of Cocteau Twins, bar Elizabeth Fraser's vocals, but just as riveting.

New Death in Vegas stuff
After a 7-year hiatus, they have something new coming around September-ish (is there a queue of great stuff coming out later this year or what?) AND they are going to be at Harvest. Correct! Really loved Satan's Circus and Scorpio Rising, so can't wait!

Luke Million – Arnold
Almost in the same vein as the idolisation of 'Barabara Streisand' by Duck Sauce, comes 'Arnold', a chill mix of repeated Arnold Schwarzenegger samples. I was hypnotised, enjoyed it, felt a bit ashamed, but got over it. Down, up, down, up Come on, more energy!

Neon Indian – Fallout & Heart Previews
Haven't been this excited about an album release in a while 
I hope the richness of the latest preview of "Fallout" from Neon Indian's upcoming September album Era Extraña speaks for the entire album when it comes out in September. Would it be wrong of me to say it sounds like it has a "my bloody valentine" shoegazer angle to it, let alone looks like it too?

Underworld – Moon In Water
Not many of the great 90s electronic acts have made it through in one piece into the new millenium, but Underworld is definitely an exception. Some stuff from their most recent album Barking popped up randomly on my playlist and I was just reminded that I have the CD + DVD set when it first came out late last year buried somewhere in my mess from moving. Need to find it!
One of my favourite tracks that came out of the album was Moon in Water; a lot more mellow than their usual, but it seems every time musicians creep out of their comfort zones, something amazing can occur.

Ultimate Boards of Canada Mash-up
Massive mash up sampling little bits of a lot of Boards of Canada tracks. Good for a quick fix if you're a BoC fan.

Gotta love lulzy hipsters!
The only authentic way to listen to this album is via a rip of it being streamed on Ustream through a cassette player.

Chris Cunningham @ Opera House x Vivid Live Sydney
Just came back from the Chris Cunningham show at the Opera House as part of the Vivid Sydney Festival; in short it was a great way to spend a Sunday evening. He opened with his audiovisual mix of Gil Scott-Heron's New York is Killing Me (as above) which, after seeing it in the Opera House, has become one of my favourites.

Chemical Brothers x Massive Attack x Pete Tong Mixtape
The Chemical Brothers did a mixtape as an ode for Pete Tong (Essential Mix bro) and it included a never-before released track of their remix of Massive Attack's 'Teardrops'.
The mixtape that the Chemical Brothers prepared for Pete Tong's 20 year celebration can be found just below; but the full programme along with some live music and interviews can be found here.
