We couldn't find out anything about this beat wizard that records under the brief and rather mysterious moniker yuk., but after listening to the instrumental magic below which is slightly reminiscent of Flying Lotus you'll probably agree with me that in any case, suffice it to tell you that yuk.'s debut release
A D W A is available soon via LA's wonderful
Leaving Records. Go order.

Our favourite Philly boy Yohsuke Araki aka
recently introduced BAnanas Symphony returns to our realms with yet another dream pop gem, slightly more experimental than before but without giving up a single bit of beauty,
Vino subtly meanders along until all of a sudden, you realize that its stupendous instrumentation and melody have just completely disarrayed you. We surrender.

In other respects dubbed "Vancouver's hottest and number one party band of the moment", we've fallen in love with
Humans' comparatively downbeat album closer
Montonton 2, a tune of almost Hot Chip-like pop quality, an opaque electro ballad drowned in heavy synth, and if you close your eyes while listening you will for sure see the slow and colourful laser beams wandering around the dance floor.
Humans' complete debut can be downloaded for free.

Minneapolis, Minnesota's Anders Carlson aka
Love Lake sent over this wonderful little tune last week, and now it's finally up here for your delight.
Curses is two minutes of lush marching band drumming, some nice sample works and an overall joyful feel, best ingested together with the wonderful accompanying video collage made by Carlson himself.
Curses is the first track from Love Lake's debut full length which is due in September.

All the way from lovely Copenhagen, Aske and Zacharias of
Age Of Giants bless us with two tunes of purest summer blissfulness, Scandinavian pop glory that'll make you wish you could just submerge into these cool waves of melody and get lost in that warm and lazy breeze of a rhythm.
Age Of Giants are now a five piece and busily working on their first EP that will hopefully come out soon.

Martin Brass from Cleveland, Ohio started
Ethiopians as a mere side project, but after being joined by his college friend Paul, the whole thing seems to become more serious now, and that's obviously a good thing as it means that we can expect further hazy and fuzzy garage gems in the future. For now, listen to the three raw diamonds below (recorded by Brass alone), reverb-heavy lo-fi splendor in the best sense of the term.
Up until now, Ethiopians have released two cassettes on
Tye Die Tapes, one sold out split with
bhurgeist and his eight track debut
Beautiful Marmalade.
