Saturday Sleeper: Diamond Black Hearted Boy - Father, Protect Me

Diamond Black Hearted Boy is the moniker of Chino Amobi, a multi-medium artist from Richmond, Virginia.  See his biography, paintings, and artist statement at his Like the Space Gallery.  Adam Harper describes the March release below:

Father, Protect Me carries the full range of Diamond Black Hearted Boy—wild, surging energy, obsessive sample-scratching and chanting, perturbed meditation and ominous stasis—and all in a fresh hi-fi sound palette of polished chrome. Throughout the curiously compelling work, Amobi hangs at the periphery like a prophet or a fallen God, balefully conjuring dim visions of what a deity might perceive in the present and future. 

Sonic Router 031: Logos' Touch Of Frost

Article originally published at The Quietus.
By: Oli Marlow

Logos' debut album, Cold Mission, is a little bit of a masterpiece. It's an album that, frankly, I've been waiting a long time for someone to make. A record that unites a handful of my own musical interests, fusing numerous styles, approaches and sentiments, whilst drawing as palpably from the complex minimalism of modern classical composition as it does the brutishness of late night London's radio transmissions. What that then says about my own listening habits is probably best left to interpretation, but within the recent slew of brazen instrumental grime that's been piloted by characters like Slackk, Visionist and outfits like Oil Gang, Keysound and new Irish label Glacial Sound, there are artists whose work just juts out from the rest of the pack like massive glinting stalagmites: Rabit and his uber-melodic sparsity, Murlo's boundless and playful nature, or Mumdance's command of hardware. But it's Logos' reinterpretation of classic grime tropes, and his restrained deployment of them, that's been one of the most enjoyable things to follow.

Torus - Torus EP

6 tracks long [Torus EP is] a deft exploration of mood that sets a torrent of found samples, ambient swirls and little wayward riffs to post-Dilla drum patterns. It’s hazy, crackly hangover music. A collection of tracks that manage to sound archaic before they’ve even been mixed down, fusing Joeri Woudstra’s unique approach to production with a sense of isolation and introspection.
“I’ve been making a lot of music over the past year and a half, which includes a lot of stuff I wasn’t really proud of when I listened back to it after it was finished;” Woudstra offers when asked about the vision for his music. “The idea behind this EP is that I wanted to make tracks that were deeper than just some throw away beats. I wanted to go in and truly create an environment; tracks that I really put some emotion into and that I could be proud of to be released as a whole.”
“I come from The Hague in the Netherlands and we kinda have all the environments you could think of put together,” he continues. “We’ve got the beach, we got forests and woods, we got plains and we’ve got downtown and sometimes the whole city is covered in snow. In my music I move away from the crowdedness of the city to create a more natural and organic environment; but I also like taking a bit of the static interference from the bustling city and putting it all together into some sort of ambience.”

Ben Khan - Savage

Acid, acid

Rain drops to kill them bastards.

We'll feed them acid.

We'll feed them acid.

But we're dancing, dancing

To the rhythm of the plastic anthem. 

Tinashe - Ain't Ready
