… absolutely tore it down at Sonar festival. Check out more of their music HERE.

Last week, we were giving away 2 pairs of tickets to our customers. All we asked was our customers to give their “Best of Bleep” Top 5 charts. Thanks to everyone that entered, we had a great amount of lists come through.

Here are the 2 winners:

James Reed, Manchester:

Aphex Twin – Selected Ambient Works
I have chosen this album of Aphex Twin (out of many good ones) due to it’s esoteric qualities. Some pieces are blessed with a power enabling one to reside in total presence, if but for a short time. Levels can be discerned in all the arts. Music is no exception. Undoubtedly, the resonance of tracks such as lichen and rhubarb, provoke an uplift in the human frequencies. The mental state need be relaxed, relaxed even more by the mysterious sounds. Stone In Focus is a meditative tool. A fine and pensive album.

Amon Tobin – Foley Room
Foley Room is a pleasant work of abstract audible art. The tracks are consistent and diversified. The instruments are many. The variations so too are. The pace is altered within songs regularly, allowing for difference. The creativity behind the music is groundbreaking. Recording sounds in public places and incorporating them within tunes. Nice bit of improvisation from Tobin.

Four Tet – Rounds
This album is a gem from Four Tet. Made with conscious effort and pure genius. Never ceases to impress. Never ceases to produce well. Unspoken and She Moves She are ones to listen to.

Boxcutter – Glyphic
This is very impressive music. He seems to clash together all sorts of genres, experimentalizing on dubstep and electronica. Bloscid is extremely well done. The drop is a marvellous one. Lunal is a good tune, which progresses very well.

Burial – Burial
Burial is a very unusual, well-respected producer. He is unfazed by fame, preferring to stick to his game untainted. Neither is he big-headed;, this can be discerned via his music. His music is most certainly a reflection of his deeper qualities and character. The theme is an eerie one, yet pensive all the same. The irregular drumbeats are unique in style. The sombre atmosphere is a scarce tweak to the usual tone. The somewhat distorted, rustic sounds are fine indeed. In all, very mellow, in-betweener music; doesn’t get you over excited, neither does it do the opposite. It keeps you centred, simple and abiding. A rare piece.

they chanced my life, this album inspired me to get back in the studio.

2. Polyfolk Dance – Hudson Mohawke
looking forward to his next releases, the guy is a genius!

3. Veckatimest – Grizzly Bear
the next big thing in love, addictive album indeed!

4. Drowning In A Sea Of Love – Nathan Fake
heart breaker sounds, emotional lava , it feels so fu*$ing good, I can cry and I can laugh at the same time.

5. Lamb’s Anger – Mr Oizo
There’s a lot of anger in this album, yet Mr Dupieux is one of my favorites producers, he taught me that even if you use Apple’s text to speech it can still sound dope more then you can imagine…
