Alunageorge- Just a Touch

Alunageorge is Aluna Francis and George Reid. 'Just a Touch' is due for release as part of an EP on Trinangle records. Really liking this catchy pop number and the way that production allows Aluna's voice to take centre stage.

After the recent success of his 'Through the Motion' EP Midland is back with his second EP on Aus music entitled 'Placement'.

Bonebrokk- Stop thinking start acting EP (Free download)

"Stop thinking start acting" is the debut EP from Bonebrokk a 21 year old producer from Athens, Greece.  The self titled track "Stop thinking start acting" evolves from soft hypnotic tones into vast crescendoing finale, leading the listener via an entrancing sound scape.  At the other end "Running with eyes closed" has an eerie feel to it, the start of the track progresses with uniform regularity; however towards the end of the track things are are flipped on their head with crazy kicks, snare rolls and unexpected pauses.  

Bonebrokk is offering this EP as a free download from his bandcamp page www.bonebrokk.bandcamp.com & www.bonebrokk.tumblr.com

DIFF011 Arkaik 'Trauma EP' Diffrent

Nice little preview of Arkaik's forthcoming 'Trauma EP'.  Really diverse set of tunes on this one; favourite has to be the transformer bass line that powers 'Turncoat'.

"Leonard was kinda flat out for almost most of the winter of 2011, but for some reason the neck kept twitching. Meanwhile, back over in the UK, that sticky bass creator, Peter Arkaik was in the studio letting out his bad moods and stress relief over the EP project. The poor pink giraffe was almost traumatised by the renegade bassline's floating around on the halftime giraffestep track 'Turncoat', so much that the on site veterinary nurse was rushed over to the diffrent HQ to deal with the matter. While in the studio, she noticed Leonard was getting shaken up quite a bit due to Jekyll constantly trying to get busy with Arkaik working to get the collaboration 'Vertebrae' finished, while having MCXL throwing down all his toughest lyrics down to lay over the 'Headskill' track. All in all, we could cut a long story short, and say this EP has been quite a 'TRAUMA'"
