The sounds I've been lovin' this month. A lot of my music recently has been quite ambient, chillstep based dance music that I've been listening to when walking or doing yoga. It's quite relaxing but also not enough to put me to sleep, so its enjoyable. Also, it includes a new Bon Iver song which I have to say I cried during. My love for Justin Vernon just can't compete with anything else really. I do realise there's TWO different disclosure remixes, but both were just too good not to share.
ARTIST FOCUS: SBTRKT
SBTRKT (pronounced like the word subtract- pft, hipsters) is an indie electronic musical project created by Aaron Jerome. Since the release of his soul infused electronic self titled album in 2011, he is finally back recording new songs and a new album titled 'Wonder Where We Land' due to be released in late September. I really enjoy this guy's music because as cliche as it is, it isn't like anything I've heard before. Atmospheric beats and drops mixed with soulful vocals from the likes of Sampha, Jessie Ware and now Ezra off Vampire Weekend is enough to make any festival crowd go wild, whilst keeping anonymous behind a mask to add to the atmosphere. He seems to be making his way round festivals this year so if you have the chance go and see him and make me a bit jealous.
