Another week gone by, and strangely enough, good music did not stop being made. While maybe at times I’m too busy to sit down and post, I still get a chance to have these sounds in my ears at most moments in a day. I’m really thankful for that. Too many people are making really good music to not have a life that lets you listen to it.
So here I am, copping out once again, and posting up a big collection of some of my favorites from this week. From tasty electronic gems, to sweetly twisted R&B bangers, to those projects shrouded in mystery ~ I AM UNKNOWN
Let these be your companion this weekend. A lot more after the jump. I love you.

Future Dollars - Yul Brynner as Ramses
Giraffage - Everything Is Going To Be Alright
I’m so proud of San Francisco beat maker Charlie Yin for stepping up, and dropping a full LP. I was just talking with a friend about how frustrating it can be getting one track at a time from some of these great electronic producers. Full LPs are becoming increasingly rare.
Thankfully, Giraffage heard my cries, and subtley released his strong debut Comfort into the world near the end of the day yesterday. No grand announcements, no massive PR push, just “hey, go download my new album for free”. The lack of disappointment in Comfort is as refreshing as his mixture of intricate beats and lush atmosphere he provides in each track.
Go grab Comfort here, for a price of your choosing.

Slow Magic - ☾
The date 11/11/11 comes around only once a century:
“There is nothing unusual about the time 11:11 or the date 11/11/11, but our brains can’t help noticing the repeating digits, and seeing them as meaningful. “Numbers that are already significant to us, such as calendar dates that also coincidentally fall into an obvious pattern, become doubly significant. 11/11/11 is another example of people doing what people are cognitively prone to do: find significance.”
I really can’t help but post up nearly each and every sound I hear from this mysterious project. Slow Magic released this as if he/she had no choice in the matter.
And if that wasn’t enough, another remix by Giraffage has been left at our doorstep, like the beautiful baby it is:
Slow Magic - Sorry Safari (Giraffage remix)
SF producer Giraffage hasn’t really put anything out that I haven’t loved. This gentle rework of mysterious Slow Magic favorite is no exception. Perfect for the much needed Friday chill vibes. I wonder if we’ll ever find out who this zebra-masked master is?
