Samedi Sound System (Dub Temple Records): Duke Side A

Valerie
Samedi Sound System is an Aussie duo made up of Baron Oneway and Vir Asan. The two have been staples on the Aussie club scene, spinning tracks for frenetic club goers. Duke Side A is the first record for the duo and it attempts to capture the energy they generate while pleasing gyrating and throbbing bodies in the dancefloor. The DJs spin anything from dancehall, dub to jungle music in their sets. Hence, it’s no surprise that this record echoes with various genres coalescing into each other and creating one coherent track after another. This amazing dance staple is offered for free and released under Brisbane-based independent label, Dub Temple Records.

Floating Bear: Putting Songs to Bed

Valerie
Acoustic and sporadic singer, Floating Bear releases his acoustic debut compilation. Putting Songs to Bed is a collection of tracks written between 2009 and 2011. Serving as an introspective demo, the tracks needed a home and was compiled by the singer to create this quiet and moody piece that echoes of gloomy, contemplative mornings in your bedroom flat. Incidentally, much of the tracks were recorded by the singer in his bedroom in London, March 2012.

Hella Better Dancer: Living Room

Valerie
For a compilation that was recorded at home using a laptop microphone, Living Room is a pretty decent little EP. Echoing an indie female version of Cat Power or even PJ Harvey, the songs are essentially quiet yet powerful dreamy reveries. Hella Better Dancer is a UK-based four piece crew that's fairly new in the scene. Even though they emerged only a couple of years ago, their sound is well-beyond their years. This is the latest release from the band and it's the first they're offering for free download. The first two, Please Stay Here and Swimming, are both available for purchase.
