Sumsun - ‘Avey Oliver’ EP
Posted under: 
Sumsun, aka Judson Rogers’ Avey Oliver EP offers the perfect middle ground for music fans who enjoy both pastoral synthesis and the hypnotic embrace of house music. Rogers pairs heavenly synth melodies with club friendly rhythms all bathed in gauzy filter sweeps that harken back to Rogers’ earlier work on MATTHEWDAVID‘s Leaving Records. Be sure to check out the newly dropped Avey Oliver EP on Halo Cyan, but in the meantime, check out Sumsun‘s epic mix from the Boiler Room.
Foothills - “Dreaming of Falling Infinitely” (Official Video)
Foothills is the solo project of Chase Hudson, who you may already know from Asheville’s 2ppm. Hudson uses Foothills as a vehicle for his contemplative key playing, delving deep into a more textured sonic environment.
“Dreaming of Falling Infinitely” washes over listeners with the stillness of deep sleep and is a promising first offering to say the least. Hudson recently sent me the video above as a preview of what’s to come as he heads to the studio. This particular track happens to be older, but he spoke of his current performance based style of songwriting and an eagerness to step away from an loop pedals. Keep an eye out as Foothills will be soundtracking your dreams in the very near future.
Euglossine - ‘Church Trax’
My affinity for Euglossine‘s, aka Tristan Whitehill, music is no secret, but with each release, collaborative or solo, he consistently outdoes himself. In between touring with Levek and MSNRA, Whitehill has been working on tracks as part of his Artist Residency at the Church of Holy Colors. The art space is the epicenter of Gainesville’s creative culture and it’s clear that Whitehill is channeling some next level vibrations from its walls. I’ve pulled a handful of tracks from his recent uploads to SoundCloud and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the synthesizer maestros latest creations.
Yalls - ‘Remixes’
Yalls is the project of Berkeley based producer Dan Casey. Yalls‘ compositions are filled to the brim with glitched out epiphanies and organic textures that never feel stale in the increasingly saturated world of “beat” music. That being said, Casey has two tremendous albums, both of which you can check out here, but he most recently dropped a compilation that collects his extensive remix collection. Check out his take on Monster Rally‘s “Moonglow” below, and download all of the remixes here.
RxRy - “c.STRS”
It’s always difficult when one of your favorite artists decides to call it quits. Thankfully, RxRy‘s swan song, “c.STRS”, could be his most realized work. His final transmission of textural ambience and menacing rhythms bathes listeners in granular environments that impel introspection.
For those new to RxRy’s work, it should be noted that the artist’s identity was always shrouded in mystery. The internet swirled with rumors as to who could be behind such compelling music, at it’s most fevered, many believed Noah Lennox was crafting these otherworldly vibrations. However, with this final release all the rumors could be laid to rest, as Rx left a note indirectly relaying his identity as PORTALS favorite M. Sage.
c. Stars is available to download on RxRy‘s website, now serving as an archive of his recordings under that pseudonym, but also be sure to check out his own label Patient Sounds. It’s a fantastic repository of ambient leaning tapes as well as a home for zines and books. They’re home to a lot of really fantastic artists based out of Fort Collins Colorado. Please support their kickstarter, there’s a ton of great incentives and the world needs to support creative minds of this caliber.
Thanks for the mystery Matthew.
