Think, Boards of Canada, but a little more glitched out, with less haziness.

Sound design meets glitch-hop, spiced with field recordings and ambient textures. Dreams are of the body: head-nodding that don’t keep you awake but rather transports to the outer realms of consciousness and beyond… Blue pill or red pill? The choice has been made.

One of the bigger and more popular festivals is the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Often just referred to as “The Fringe” it’s an international comedy, music and performing arts festival that happens in August every year. it starts after the Film Festival, and before the International Festival (more classical arts). It’s world-renound for comedy, and people travel from all over the globe to be here for the month that it’s on, where they can spend all day every day watching shows from comedy to musicals, music to puppetry.

This year The Fringe have in some way teamed up with Soundcloud (my new-ish favourite website) to deliver a data representation of sorts. Inviting “ambassadors” to record clips in and around Edinburgh during the Fringe, and post them online where they’re tagged with a location and plotted on a map, they presumably hope to build up a pretty impressive library of sound clips associated with the Fringe and Edinburgh.

I, for one am all for it – I think it’s a great idea, so despite not being in Edinburgh for the whole Fringe, I’ll be recording and posting while I am there (the first week) and pretty much repping Soundcloud and their nice little recording app.

I’ve embedded the map above (fingers crossed that actually works) and you can follow my recordings account directly below…

I was alerted to this great EP recently, by Sam, the producer behind Ice Cream Social himself. Hailing from Irvine California he claims to (in his own words) “incorporate emotion and melody into a pop electronic format.” Lately he says he’s been drawing more inspiration from both shoegaze and bass music, which in my books makes for an excellent combination.

So without further ado, I give you his latest free EP “Trilogy” available to download for free at Bandcamp.

You can also find more of Sam’s great work on his Soundcloud.
