Broken Figures - "Unauthorized"

broken figures - "unauthorized" (download)

I see San Francisco's Broken Figures coming up fast in the Bay Area electronic music scene. These guys (Matt Holt & Keith Tadashi Kubota) have seemingly come out of nowhere. They're currently hard at work on their self-titled debut and looking for a label. In the 8 months since their creation, they've already shared stages with Bay Area heavy hitters Quitter, Asonic Garcia, DJ Centipede, Tenderlions and more. Be on the lookout for these guys, and go check out their amazing new video for "Unauthorized" here

EGADZ! - "Glock Out"

egadz! - "glock out" (download)

For his final album as EGADZ!, Egadz Is Dead, Erik Nava puts the nail in the coffin with intensity. "Glock Out", one of the standout tracks on the record, hits you in the face with driving beats and a nasty distorted bassline. EGADZ! has recently relocated from the Bay Area to Denver, CO and has decided to shed his old persona for his new one, NAVA. Expect great things from this man in the future. Egadz is Dead is out TODAY. Grab it below.

Shayne Keator - "Bird With Firehorns"

shayne keator - "bird with firehorns" (download)

Shayne Keator is one of my favorite Bay Area musicians. His music is really moody, dark, and beautiful. So great that I chose him as the opening track on the Sneakmove Minicomp that I curated. His new album, Gentlemagenta is out now on Bay Area lo-fi label Lakebed Recordings (new home to Joseph Bryce/Clovis Heald, Roberto Miguel and RXCXXNS). You can buy it here. You really should.

New NastyNasty EP!!!

Bomarr Blog homie NastyNasty has just released a FREE EP called Heavy Little Things. I'm REALLY enjoying this. There's nothing I love more than getting something for free and having it blow me away. You can grab this hot little digital treat right here. Recommended if you like dubby, nasty, glitchy, electronic goodness that makes your headphones smile. He has a new EP coming out on Frite Nite this fall.

Another Castle - "Moebius Strip Tease"

another castle - "moebius strip tease"

Debut track from the Bay Area's Another Castle (a band name inspired by Super Mario Brothers). Another Castle consists of Brandon Arnovick (from Rondo Brothers), and Doc Pop (who is also a professional yo-yoer). Doc also records under the name Drown Radio, and makes some pretty awesome crafts out of denim (I have a denim wallet that he made, and he makes some pretty great beer cozies out of denim too). I guess there's an album in the works, but for now, enjoy this track. I find it bouncing around in my head more often than not. (PS: Check out the remix I did off of the Drown Radio release Me Geek Pretty One Day. The track I remixed is called "Twistin' Cherry Stems").
