a little writeup about goth-trad’s album coming out on mala’s label

scuba’s ‘personality’

they’re just little news things but w/e! yahooooo

When we first moved to Berlin in summer 2008, we imagined many things were ahead of us. Motto Berlin has just turned 3 years and to celebrate this we’ve had a couple of ideas. The first one takes form right here and we’d like to name it Motto Disco. Friends, collaborators and people we admire have been asked to put together mixtapes with the idea that they should be played within the context of Bookstores. Stay tuned in the weeks and months to come as this is the start of a collection of unexpected and versatile encounters. Enjoy!

The first offering from the Motto Disco project comes in the form of a playlist selected by the eminent Kuedo.
Under varying projects, the UK born / Berlin based artist has been an instrumental figure in the evolution of electronic music in the UK and beyond for just under a decade. He most recently released his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Severant’ on the prevalent British label, Planet Mu.

Kuedo has curated this playlist entitled ‘Sinking in the Datatank’ specifically with the act of reading in mind, delving into a hypnotic modern history of avant-garde electronics and rousing soundscapes.

this is a really great idea. you can download kuedo’s mix hereherehereherehere

ayoyoyo, i’ve been MIA for a few days - hope you all had a great christmas if that’s what you celebrate! 

i’ve sucked at keeping track of these, so here’s a list off the top of my head of a few downloads that were given out over the holidays. feel free to contribute any others that you know of at the end of the post:

luckyme gifted everyone machinedrum’s alarmaa in 320 for the final day of their advent calendar - click here to download. (and go to luckyme’s website to look at the other 24 free downloads.)

clams casino gave out a mastered version of his instrumental mixtape, which you can download here

skream gave out a ‘freeizm’

mikeQ gave out his ballroom trilogy - a 3 part classic ballroom mix. download here.

my gift to you is a link to bleep.com’s 100 best tracks of the year, which was so helpful to have last year as i was just starting to discover a lot of new stuff. there are a lot of obvious picks on there but maybe there’ll be something new as well. i came across this download today and am just pointing you in this direction IT WASN’T ME OKAY ~~ trolololo

fyi i alphabetized the list i made of musicians that have tumblrs. i’ve ended up adding a lot of people since my somewhat ocd tendencies compelled me to compile it and i’m still finding more every day, so it’s worth checking out if you haven’t yet.

+ due to the recent onslaught of free downloads, i’ve started keeping track of them here
