I discovered this gem through the TYCI blog and wow, what have I just found? There’s no information on TĀLĀ anywhere on the internet apart from the two songs she’s released on Soundcloud. She definitely fits somewhere between FKA Twigs and Grimes – where, I’m not sure yet, but this is definitely one to keep an eye out for.
Millie and Andrea – Temper Tandrum
Having picked this up in Rough Trade simply because I liked the album cover, I was pleasantly surprised that I actually love what these guys are doing. A month ago, I would never have thought that I would ever like or be able to appreciate techno – I saw it as a genre that was just too ‘out there’ for me. However, I realised recently that music is all about how you access it and with the right path, you can end up loving the stuff you thought you’d rather be seen dead than listening to. The album ‘Drop The Vowels’ has a mixture of techno, drum & bass and jungle – see where the accessibility point comes in? This track has some heavy beats and isn’t too industrial. Just imagine the fun you could have skanking out to this in a club…
This track really does speak for itself with it sexy snares and dreamy chords, I am truly disappointed that I missed out on getting a ticket to see Movement at the Ace Hotel in Shoreditch. Another fantastic product of Australia’s music scene.
Having swiftly changed the name and contents of the song in a matter of hours since he originally released it as a bootleg to Disclosure’s remix of London Grammar’s ‘Help Me Lose My Mind’, I’m guessing Ta-Ku got into a bit of trouble over this. Having dropped the vocals we’re now left with a track that definitely sounds a lot more like Ta-Ku’s stuff – whether it’s the minimalistic beat at the beginning of the song or the repetitive condensed vocals, he’s still holding it together.
F A T I M A – Do Better (Ft Floating Points)
I discovered F A T I M A through Alexander Nut a while ago and I am beginning to warm to her now. Though a little disappointed by this track and the fact that what makes it so great is the fact that it’s basically a remix of 100% Pure Poison’s ‘Puppet On A Chain’, it is a nice little interpretation of the original and of course, Floating Points’ production input never did anyone any harm.
