Shigeto - Lost Tracks

The story goes like this..

"Just about a year ago my laptop was stolen at a show in NY. I lost an album I was working on and learned my lesson the hard way. This is one of the tracks I recovered. It features some good friends of mine Brandon Mitchell (Kadence) and Carlos Garcia (L05) on vocals. ♥ Shi"

Quadron - Better Off (with Kendrick Lamar)

Robin Hannibal is certainly one of our musical heroes from the 00's and we can't be more stoked about the new Quadron (Robin + Coco O.) album titled Avalanche which drops on June 4th. Better Off is the second single, a truly lovely piece of bedroom soul, w/ a quite similar vibe like Rhye, but it's still trademark Quadron sound. And Kendrick Lamar provides a little bit of head nodding. Just perfect.

Turquoise - A Touch Of Turquoise LP

We didn't post about Turquoises' debut LP when it first got out, but as it got the fair share of air time at the Beatscapes HQ it's better to recommend the proven stuff, right?

Turquoise Summers delivers an 11 track LP filled with nothing but pure and gear-heavy Modern Funk. Not too fast nor too slow, just #kool, as Dam-Funk would say it. Galactic synths meet fat, hard hitting drums and all we can say that the Funk is strong in this one, Omega Supreme Records are really going strong - can't wait for the next releases!

Last copies of the tape are at the label's Bandcamp, last copies of vinyl are still at hhv, juno or jetset records - don't sleep on this one.

Bibio - À tout à l'Heure

U.K. producer Stephen Wilkinson as Bibio has been on a two-year break with releasing new albums, with spring 2011 bringing us his previous LP, Mind Bokeh (called a "masterpiece of headphone music" by some bloggers), and June 2009 seeing the release of its predecessor Ambivalence Avenue. Wilkinson is continuing this cycle with Silver Wilkinson, his next full-length album which drops on May 14 via Warp Records. 

À tout à l'Heure is the first single, and as Bibio himself wrote on Facebook : "The recording of À tout à l'Heure started out in my garden on a gorgeous sunny day when it felt morally wrong to be hidden away indoors. I still had the urge to make music so I limited myself to a few bits of gear and set up in my garden."
