Never ones to rush, Scottish producers Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin have only just unveiled that album's first single, the somberly disquieting "Reach for the Dead." Read more »

The new video for the "Idle (Second Thoughts)" single from reactivated Detroit synth duo Adult. (a.k.a. husband-and-wife team Adam Lee Miller and Nicola Kupurus) is one of the last results of a long-fought crawl towards the outfit's new record for Ghostly, The Way Things Fall. Read more »
Following last year's very well-received "Uncomfortably Numb" b/w "About Midday" single, budding 18-year-old UK producer Alfie released his new Hy-Brasil EP via the Space + Time label towards the end of last month. The EP—made up of four taut garage-house hybrids, including a remix from London producer Citizen—has been busy making the rounds, but in the meantime, Alfie has decided to share the shuffling, slow-burning non-EP cut "Turn It Around (Edit)." For those who may have missed its initial release, the young producer's Hy-Brasil EP can be streamed in full after the jump. Read more »

Bristol mainstay Julio Bashmore is having an exceedingly productive 2013. Running on the surge which followed last year's Au Seve and Husk EPs for his own Broadwalk imprint, the man has had his name attached to just about every major festival bill and, in between constant DJ sets, recently cooked up a collaboration with fellow Bristol mate Kowton.

MoMA PS1's summer music series will return to New York's Long Island City museum beginning the last weekend of June, and is set to bring an impressive roster of top-notch DJ, producers, and performers—some who come a bit more experimental and plenty who know their way around a dancefloor—to its weekly outdoor party.

Just in time for DFA's 12th anniversary party this weekend—a shindig going down in NYC as part of Red Bull Music Academy's month-long series of events—we've gotten our hands on Discodeine's remix of "Rain," a cut from The Crystal Ark's recent self-titled LP. On Its remix, the French duo take "Rain" even further inside the machine than the original did, stripping the tune's vocals almost completely away in favor of focusing on a percolating bassline, quirky synth FX, and all kinds of loose-running drum machine patterns. Discodeine's remix of The Crystal Ark will be joined by others from Barker & Baumecker, Frikstailers, and Carry Nation on the Rain Remixes EP (artwork above).
