Witty banter

Found nestled between Legowelts podcast for the “Little White Earbuds” blog (check it out its all amazing) is this lofi neo noir track by Omar-S entitled “Nites Over Comption.”

Its over-recorded tape production gives the impression you aren’t so much listening to it but evesdropping on it from a distance. One of those perfect songs for taking long cold walks along a sprawling city; onr of my favourite pastimes

Im probably WAY too late to post this track since it was out in November and made its way into a number of “best of 2011″ lists but what the hell.

Storm Queen is the new project from one of Metro Areas alumni. Where Metro Area was based firmly in disco; Storm queen takes the minimal tune based ethos into classic house. Where Storm queen overtakes other retro productions, however, is that he uses the nostalgia as the inspiration while putting some neat little modern flourishes into the fray.

Oh and it has one hell of a suprise chorus too

I’ve posted about codek before back in May so excuse me for my repetition but I simply couldn’t leave their song Tim Toum a secret any longer.

Its sparsely populated with the sort of percussion that Timbaland would sample, minimal instrumental work and high pitched vocals that make the entire track sound like something you might hear in one of Studio Ghibblis magical kingdoms.
