Kenton Slash Demon - Ore


Copenhagen duo Kenton Slash Demon, who is also half of When Saints Go Machine, has just shared a video for its new song “Ore.” In the video, images of exposed human bodies are digitally deconstructed as the production pair’s synth-heavy song plays in the background. The video opens with amorphous masses of beige flesh tones against a field of black, but as the song builds, the masses become more recognizable until a human body is finally seen—only to be pixelated and stretched apart in fluid motions once again.

Jai Paul - Jasmine


Jai Paul quietly released ONE song via his Myspace page in the earlier part of 2010 – and that one song, “BTSTU”, rapidly spread like an indie wildfire. The underground popularity of “BTSTU” led to a recent signing on XL Recordings, home to artists such as Adele, M.I.A., The xx, Beck, Gil Scott Heron and The White Stripes (to name an illustrious few). Jai has been hinting that he will finally drop new tunes in 2012.
Finally, here’s something we all expected patiently, yet anxiously. 
The visionary UK producer/singer/songwriter/human has followed up his seismic intro track “BTSTU” with a warped slice of sensual … let’s say post-modern R&B, with plenty of studio weirdness and pan and envelope filter to possibly justify the interminable wait for his full-length. “Jasmine” should sate some appetites, at least for four minutes and change. What a comeback.

Timbah - Can’t Love Without You


With producers like Sheffield’s Timbah around, no R&B vocals are safe. The man’s hyper-detailed production seems to build walls around these R&B snippets, piecing giant kick drums, perfectly quantized percussion, and warm, glowing chords together as if they were ready-made, interlocking pieces. It’s this impressively exact production quality that really makes the tune a rewarding listen, pulling touchstones of the post-dubstep world—in particular, James Blake-style chords and sultry re-pitched vocals—into a bit of new territory.
