There is still a lot to be learned about the relatively new producer behind the Fwdslxsh moniker. From what I’ve gathered (read: stalked) on the internet he’s a young man based out of London and is affiliated with the Last Night In Paris art collective. In this latest joint, ‘4U’ Fwdslxsh chose to pluck a sample from the ‘Say Yes’ tune by Floetry, he uses it as his center piece, revealing that he spent a majority of his formative years listening to R&B. The influence is apperent in these snappy minimal drum patterns that leave just enough negative space for a lush synth backdrop and a simple key driven melody. Keep your ears and eyes open for more music from this young elusive producer in 2014.
Trap | Slugabed – Waterfallssssss
Posted by BP on January 20, 2014
Slugabed, from London, released his unique tune “Waterfallssssss” today. Although I can’t explain this artwork, this trap track is really fun. The beats are hard hitting, and have a sort of tribal vibe going on. Vocal chops and samples during the drops add a more finished touch. My favorite drop is the last one at 3:05. Check it out!

Albums | AlunaGeorge – Body Music
Posted by VMan on September 6, 2013
Last night I had the pleasure of catching AlunaGeorge’ sold-out NYC show at the Bowery, and after seeing them live, I think I like their new album “Body Music” even more. AlunaGeorge is made up of Aluna Francis and George Reid, whom are both from London, and I strongly suggest you listen to the album. George’s productions mesh perfectly with Aluna’s particular vocals, which at times reminds me of Janet Jackson’s voice from back in the days, or Inoj’s voice, for those who know her. There’s no doubt about it, “Body Music” is fresh and you’re bound to find a track you love. My favorites off the album so far are “Best Be Believing,” “Attracting Flies,” and “Lost & Found.” Stream the album on SoundCloud and get that on iTunes or find a way to get it, this is an excellent album!

Chill, Trap | Cypriot Vibez – Girl I Want
Posted by BP on September 2, 2013
I’m sure we could all use some chill music after this long Labor Day weekend, right? “Girl I Want” by Cypriot Vibez, who is 1/2 of the London based group Myth, is just that. Deep, low-key vocal chopping flows over some trippy trap beats. The piano, especially at the end of the track, is absolutely charming. This original track is a pleasure to the ears from start to finish. It’s free to download as well!

House, Techno | Cassy – fabric 71
Posted by Spice on August 16, 2013
With Electric Zoo 2013 drawing closer and closer, it’s time to start doing your homework on the lineup so that you’re guaranteed to get the most out of the weekend. One of the places we’re most excited to hit is the notorious Sunday School Grove, which will be churning out deep house all day on Friday (and indeed, all weekend) until a sure-to-be-awesome closing set from the legendary Danny Tenaglia. Who, of course, is from New York. Fitting.
Friday’s lineup in the Grove is stacked, but we’re particularly stoked to check out British-born/Austria-rasied/Berlin-based Cassy, who has been taking dance floors the world over by storm. She’s maintained no less than four residencies in 2013, including at the much-touted Output in Brooklyn. In advance of her set, we strongly encourage you to check out her upcoming mix for London’s fabric, which is funky, atmospheric, and expertly crafted. Stream a promo mix below, and check out the full track list after the jump.
