Eclectic Vibes

Mose Giganticus - Gift Horse

How does music sound large? Or huge? These intense hard rock architects have sculpted a magnificent debut that is modern, powerful, groovy, expansive and generally kicks a lot of ass! Amorphis meets the Melvins.

Waitiki 7 - New Sounds of Exotica

When you think of tropical lounge sounds, you expect what this 1950’s style throwback release has to offer. Dedicated to preserving the Exotica sound and tiki culture they produce lush jazzy flows of flute over a variety of percussion, complimented by bass, piano, sax, etc. Fly me to the tropics!

Walter Gibbons - Jungle Music

Pioneering reel to reel editing in mid 1970s led to many amazing things for this prolific DJ who became known for his remixes and influence in the early Disco and electronic scene. This 2 CD release of 14 lengthy remix tracks serves as a brief history lesson into the roots of synthetic beats and the sounds of the late 70s and early 80s.

CARMEN RIZZO - Looking Through Leaves

Rizzo is a two time Grammy nominee producer, re-mixer, and artist, with an extensive list of credentials. This solo journey of chilled minimalistic soundscapes is sprinkling with evocative textures, rhythms, and grooves to beautify any existence where it is welcomed.

CAS HALEY - Connection

Perhaps you remember Cas from his second place finish on the second season of America’s Got Talent in 2007. If you do, then you will also remember his easy flowing reggae style with blues flavoring and his equally enticing vocal stylings. If not, you may want to examine what he has to offer, especially his revisioning of Alicia Keys’ song “No One.”

CEPHALIC CARNAGE - Misled By Certainty

Cascades of extreme metal come pouring forth from the instruments of this furious and hard working Colorado concoction. After hammering down the grind on the first dozen tracks of their sixth Relapse release, they end with the epic length, genre spanning “Repangaea.”

CHARMING HOSTESS - The Bowls Project

This is a bizarre mixture of intensely creative elements that links female vocals, Iraqi folk, Jewish culture, rock, metal, sex, love, angels, demons, and oodles more in an eclectic fashion. Inspiration here was garnered from inscriptions found on bowls buried beneath Jewish Babylonian houses which allowed group leader Jewlia Eisenberg a culturally poignant and diverse perspective to compose from.

Dean - Outside In

Dean is a one man project. He is a songwriter, a producer and plays all the instruments. Songs are formed by introducing expansive vistas of electronica and spicing them up with Latin or Afrobeat rhythms while overlaying jazz, blues, and fusion elements to spin additional ambiance.

DJ Centra - A Shared Will To Live

Spinning since the early 90s, and falling squarely in the trance side of the techno spectrum, this DJ begins by matching serene diva vocals with the beat before touching off the spark on several non-vocal tracks that explore the numerous nooks and crannies of what trance has to offer.

EL-P - WEARALLGOINGTOBURNINHELLMEGAMIXX3

Punchy attitude filled hyper-drive techno, washed with quirky-smirky samples and a lot of industrial type backdrops. Although EL-P is a noted deep wit rapper, this full tilt release is all instrumental.

Formosa Triangle - Formosa Triangle

They may have taken their name from an area located about 100 miles south of Tokyo, Japan, which has had mysterious ship losses, but the tight and heavy groove-metal that flourishes in the continuum established between the two lone members of this Chicago powerhouse may propel them further than the Pacific Ocean.

Michal Menert - Dreaming of a Bigger Life

This charming downtempo electronica is from the co-producer of the first Pretty Lights release. As such, this sounds quite a lot like Pretty Lights in the fluidic way the songs unfold and are composed. Also, as the first outside release on the Pretty Lights music label, it is available as a free download (with optional donation button) so you don’t have to steal it.
