Nuclear Seasons by Charli XCX

A hot distorted bass synth line makes Nuclear Seasons a catchy electro pop tune.

League Of Nations by Mark Chadwick

League of Nations is a long, slow, satisfying end to a short, satisfying demo.

I prefer vorbis.

Desert Flowers by Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru

"Uncle owen Aunt Beru's album is a careless experiment with simple melodies, crude sounds". Sounds like the Desert Flowers.

Half the size in vorbis.

With Just One Glance by Nicolas Jaar featuring Scout LaRue

Gorilla vs. Bear: "Nicolas Jaar quietly dropped [With Just One Glance] with very little fanfare a couple weeks back. Notable not only because it’s awesome and one of the sexier things he’s ever done, but also because it features some sultry vocals from Bruce Willis/Demi Moore’s kid Scout Larue."

Stones by The Rhombus

Stones shows a great sense of timing and pacing, paired with a unique fuzzy distorted sound.

Elk Statement by if:then:goto

It's apt that on Another Syntax Error if:then:goto writes an Elk Statement. And in that moment he finds himself watching himself watching you.

Tin Man by Future Islands

This Tin Man brings a lovely mix of gravelly, lush melodies, and an electronic pulse.

Trip Time Divine by Revolution Void

If you are looking for a long, ambient, dance-y sort of track, Trip Time Divine delivers nicely.

And it delivers in multiple formats: vorbis and an enormous FLAC for the audiophiles.

Theatre by Abstract Avenue

Theatre could make a solid piece of a sci-fi soundtrack. As it is, it's a good intro to Audio Port

A short, simple textured tune for Quiet America.

Speed Queen by by MC Frontalot

Traitor Hater by The Whiskers

The somber organ march and melodramatic lyrics of Traitor Hater contrast/dovetail wonderfully with a ridiculous voice and even more melodramatic delivery.

La Mitad by Natalia Clavier

La Mitad pairs a lush downtempo production with a relaxed, lounge-y Spanish vocal hook.

In The Desert by Daniel Bautista

In The Desert is far more comforting, lush, and diverse than its stark title implies.

Also enjoy the desert in vorbis.

Dark Side Of The Heart by Jeris, remixed by colab

"This is the kind of song that is meant to be listened to when you are slightly heartbroken, and left alone in a state of wonder. Colab’s harmonization of Jeris’ classic hued ballad adds electronic elements to impeccable piano and the warmth of an upright bass. Lovely." --SackJo22

Dark Side of the Heart.

The Stars In His Head (Dark Lights remix) by Colin Stetson

The Stars in His Head is an impressive experimental saxophone piece, touchingly roughed up.

The Great Destroyer (Blind Mix) by Nine Inch Nails, remixed by Halo 33

Halo 33's Blind take on The Great Destroyer doesn't tear itself apart in a fit of squelching bursts like the original. It maintains a steady pop sensibility throughout.

Adolescents by Frank Rosaly

Frank Rosaly is one of my favorite drummer/percussionists I've heard, and I've had the pleasure of seeing him several times in a single week. He's doing a solo show at Elastic in Chicago on May 10th, and Adolescents makes me excited to see it.
