Ventus Solaris by Revolution Void

"Combining electronic music with live improvisation, Revolution Void is best described as electronic breakbeat jazz." Ventus Solaris is good 7 minute introduction if you've never sampled his breakbeat jazz before.

Again, I recommend open formats: vorbis for most, flac for audiophiles.

Symphony 1, Movement 2: Allegro Con Brio by Daniel Bautista

I accidentally featured the opening to this symphony twice, so those looking back can now find part two, the dramaticAllegro con Brio here.

As usual, I recommend open formats like ogg/vorbis.

Poverty Year by The Whiskers

There's a charm in the artistic rejects. Poverty Year is one of the sixteen that the whiskers thought unfit for an album, but interesting enough to share with fans. It's a pleasing little track that was never given the polish of their blessed releases.

Hidden by Erika Spring, remixed by Jensen Sportag

Gorilla vs. Bear: "Nashville production duo Jensen Sportag conjure up some of the same laid back disco-funked magic of last year’s brilliant Madi Diaz remix on this sexy extended re-work of Erika Spring‘s Hidden, transforming the dream-pop gem into a smoothed out, steamy summer night anthem."

Feel It All Around by Washed Out, remixed by Toro Y Moi

Gorilla vs. Bear: "It doesn’t get much chiller-wave than this: Toro Y Moi reworks his SC bro Washed Out‘s Gary Low-sampling gem, Feel It All Around, lending the track even more achingly melancholy nostalgia."
