Forss is back!

Eight (!) years ago his debut Soulhack blew me away. Music from another planet. Now he is back – on June 12th Forss will release his second Studio Album ‘Ecclesia’. Here are the first two promising previews!

Sunday Evening Filter (In The) House

Ever wondered how guys like Bibio spend their weekends?

“Sequencing the SP1200 via MIDI and jamming on the mixing desk. Great fun. All the samples & beat are coming from the SP. FX: Akai MFC42 analogue filter, Boss DD7 delay and Moog phaser.”

You Get High

More and more output on Pretty Lights Music

Just a few weeks after ‘We Must Go On‘ here comes ‘You Get High‘ – another new track for free …

Derek Vincent Smith himself describes it as “a new style hip-hop jam that incorporates what I think sounds like a slow-mo disco stomp. It’s soulful and funky at the same time and it’s all about the high you feel when listening to good music.This will be the last sample-collage produced track I drop before my new album (made completely from self-made vinyl) comes out!”

The promo video really looks like Pretty Lights live shows are pretty energetic by the way:


And there are even more news as PLM has just announced to release Eliot Lipp‘s forthcoming album Shark Wolf Rabbit Snake’ on May 22.

A first track called ‘The Sunset‘ is just a click away and some older material just waits to be played on Soundcloud:

Sunburn

Remember Vampire Weekend?

The band’s bassist Chris Baio will release a solo EP under his sur- and DJ name ‘Baio’ on May 21.

The track ‘Tanto’ features Matias Aguayo and turns out to be a very nice and surprisingly electronic summer track …

 

If you want to extend the summer feeling – don’t waste no time and get his ‘Field Day & Underage Mix’ from last year:
