Gorgeous Children - ICE

Through Jacques Greene's Vase imprint, Gorgeous Children release ICE.  At approximately thirty minutes, the mixtape is an example in odd juxtaposition as the length and capacious soundscapes across which mechanic trap percussion jitters bespeak cold minimalism while Face Vega and Gila Monsta craft hypotactic verses that, in some ways, eagerly try to fill the empty void with a potent worldview tinged with lust, braggadocio, and violence.

Perseus - Shadow of the Beast


Perseus is back ladies and gentlemen.

Here's the download

sela one - heartbeat

'heartbeat' begs you to stay another minute or two... the siren calls to you... demanding your attention... and whisking you away from tomorrow.  Crawl toward the light mariner.

sela one is 20 years old.  His music shows a patience & a restraint with the genre of trap music.  Might this young generation of beat-makers usher us into a post-trap period soon? fuck.  This is the first single from his new project, anniversary. Rumor has it... this track may be on there too:

EDIT: This one will be the intro track I believe:

Fraxinus - All Ends

For those that skipped the grammar school lesson on horticulture:
Fraxinus is a genus of flowering plants in the olive and lilac family, Oleaceae. It contains 45–65 species of usually medium to large trees, mostly deciduous though a few subtropical species are evergreen. The tree's common English name, ash, goes back to the Old English æsc, while the generic name originated in Latin. Both words also meant "spear" in their respective languages. The leaves are opposite (rarely in whorls of three), and mostly pinnately compound, simple in a few species. The seeds, popularly known as keys or helicopter seeds, are a type of fruit known as a samara. Most Fraxinus species are dioecious, having male and female flowers on separate plants; if grown as an ornamental and both sexes are present, ashes can cause a considerable litter problem with their seeds. Rowans or Mountain Ashes are unrelated to true ashes and belong to the Genus Sorbus though the leaves and buds are superficially similar.

Gorgeous Children, signed to Jaques Greene's Vase imprint, deliver the icy, synth-swirling "Sour," the first release from their forthcoming release, ICE.  Denver-based producer Gila Monsta (whose previous work I've included after the jump)  grapples with the operatic Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack to craft a sparse soundscape over which to lay trap drums.
