Sons of the Morning - The Way Winter Passed Us



Warp beatmaker and glitch-hop godfather Guillermo Scott Herren aka Prefuse 73 launched his very own imprint Yellow Year Records. His plans with the label are quite fascinating as it will release Speak Soon, a twelve-volume series of EPs that will feature Prefuse 73 collaborating with beat scene masters Teebs, Nosaj Thing, Lapalux, Synkro, Nathan Fake, Dimlite to name few (Pitchfork). 
The first big move is Sons of the Morning,  the new duo comprising Brainfeeder artist Teebs and of course Prefuse 73. "The Way Winter Passed Us" is an instrumental masterpiece, with flowing melody powered by rolling percussion. As Herren speaks himself (Spin): 

"On a musical level, Teebs taps into really simple hardware and pulls off consistently beautiful music. He's kind of like the Erik Satie of the SP-303, which is a cheap sampler. I'm inspired by his effectivness with what he works with and the sincerity that comes out in his sound".

Pathetic Waste of Talent – Triburbia


This duo going by a quite sarcastic name, Pathetic Waste of Talent, is hailing from Heidelberg, Germany. In case of their new track Triburbia, there is no speculation about waste of talent whatsoever. Triburbia can be downloaded for free... and I guess you're already in the process of downloading it.

FKA Twigs - Water Me (EP2)


Sounds like this autumn is going to be taken by storm by a bunch of talented vocalists, all trying to find their place in the future soul/electronic pop scene.

FKA Twigs fits nicely in this lovely bunch of beautiful female voices; Water Me ticks all the boxes of our definition of beatscapes from the top of the page: ethereal, glitchy and spacious yet intimate, absolutely stunning future soul ballad. EP2 drops in September, reserve your 12'' HERE
