Twice in the last few days has Soundcloud's "Related Tracks" stepped up big time, delivering a great playlist half a dozen tracks long. First I got lost back in 2008, listening to "
Lulu's Theme" by
Lulu Rouge, and was led into the likes of
Modeselektor's "
The White Flash,"
Vessels' remix of
Nils Frahm "
Says,"
Pantha Du Prince "
Saturn Strobe," and finally
Moderat "
Out Of Sight." The deep rolling vibes seemed endless, as my basement bedroom was transformed into a full on warehouse rave.
And just today I was checking out
Hatch's latest remix for
Kuren "
Home," when Soundcloud sent me through a number of beautiful, chill, downtempo, thought-provoking, vocal-driven tracks like
Mall Grab's remix of
Dro Carey "
Queensberry Rules,"
auram "
Lost Time,"
Golden Vessel "
Never Know," and "
Wave," and finally
Lastlings "
Chills," and "
You."
Despite much consternation with Soundcloud, and many moving over to Spotify, I still find Soundcloud is my best option for find new, and especially independent music, specifically stuff I can download. On that note, there's a number of free downloads in both of these playlists, so go grab those now.
