Monster Rally & RUMTUM - Raindrops

This is truly a collaboration made in heaven. A tropical, beat-laden heaven. Premiered on YVYNYL yesterday, I was overly excited to see that this wasn’t a one track wonder. But rather nice long EP, getting the full Waaga treatment. You can pre-order the nine song EP, which releases in February, here.
Massive (FREE) Music Round-up :: Last Week
Last week I started a new job; this, among other things, left little time to partake in the precious internet as I usually do. Luckily, things have quieted down, and I’ve had some time to breath this weekend and catch up a bit on what happened last week.
So I’ve decided to just do a massive recap of great things I found through my email, through my friends, and just through life itself.

Monster Rally released a new four-track digital 7” called Color Sky. I suggest you download it as one last stitch effort to hold onto summer. It’s hard to go wrong with his vintage surf sampled rhythms.

New tracks from UK glo-fi operation Warm Waves. The mini EP is called Sunset and it will chill you out and carry you into the sunset with ease.
Also check out their previous EP Lifted.

Seapony is impecable at delivering sunny garage-pop jams. This self titled four-track EP Seapony is a delightful mix between a Best Coast and a Blue Hawaii vibe.

Beautiful gazing homemade pop from Australia. Wintercoats just released this precious EP Cathedral. Swooning severely to this EP as we speak.

This self titled album by Sea Oleena is one of those you put on and constantly get pulled out of your work by what you’re hearing. I went back several times to mark what song was playing. It’s soft, it’s light, and it’s profound.
You can pay what you want (which also means free, but come on, throw them some $$) for this album at their bandcamp.

You remember tropical sample aficionado Monster Rally don’t you? With their self titled EP that made you beach blanket bingo until you finished that Pina Colada? They made a slight appearance on my Let’s Get Together mixtape. Ah, now it’s coming back to you. Well yes, the very same Monster Rally just sent me over their new full-length entitled Palm Reader. And it’s chalk full of 7 of the most hip-swaying tropical dreams you’ve just about ever heard.
I suggest you head over to the bandcamp right now and grab that for your collection right now. After all, it is free.
Also, it looks like Sweat Lodge Guru Records just put out their first EP on limited cassette, with b-side by Dunian. A mere $6.50 and that gem is yours.
Let’s Get Together__
I’ve been sitting on this mix for a little while now. It all came together quite nicely, and I’ve been letting it settle in my musical stomach. And it seems the time has come to let everyone help me digest it.
Now a few things you must know about this mix; it’s filled with some serious summer tunes I’ve had on constant rotation for some time now, most significantly during my time home for my little brother’s high school graduation, where my entire family was home for the first time in almost two years. So I thought it appropriate to name it likewise. Second of ly, the mixtape you’re about to download is my first go at a “continuous” mix. I even experimented with a bit of sampling and transitions. Pretty novice stuff, but none the less a step in the right direction.
So ‘right-click’ on the track below to get the 55 minute continuous track. And click the big DOWNLOAD to get the individual tracks.
