Video: Uncle ACE (Kindness remix feat. Robert Owens) - Blood Orange

Blood Orange - Uncle ACE remixes out now: iTunes - http://smarturl.it/UncleAce Domino - http://smarturl.it/UncleAceRemixes Directed by Adam Bainbridge Camera by Phil Thompson Edited by Adam Bainbridge and Jeff Sternberger at 2150 Editorial --- - Did your hometown influence the adult you became?

It feels like an age since Dev dropped his glorious second album as Blood Orange so this is a welcome reminder... Here Kindness provide a sympathetic remix of Uncle Ace, with additional vocals from legendary house vocalist and producer Robert Owens. There is a neat symmetry at play here, since both Hynes and Owens focus on a more emotionally vulnerable approach to dance music as a route to therapy - something the video touches on.

Video: Sleep Sound - Jamie xx

There's building hype around Jamie xx's new material and I have to say, I'm pretty excited. His work always seemed more interesting to me than that of his main band, the xx. Both his initial release, Far Nearer, and his collaboration with Gil Scott Heron, We're New Here.

This video for new track Sleep Sound is just brilliant. I won't give away what it is about, just sit down and spend eight-minutes deep inside it.

Stream: Drums - HARTEBEEST

Drums dropped into my inbox a little while ago but its dreamy, ethereal pop has been growing on me since then. This is the second track from the production duo and it is already out, but they've just put this grimey mix from Mura Masa that blends some serious bass together with blissful piano keys to create a weird yet intoxicating combination.

Check them both out above.

Stream: Out Of Yourself (Roosevelt Remix) - Truls Heggero

I'm a sucker for well produced house on a sunny day, and that is exactly what we have here. I previously covered Roosevelt when he dropped his video for the lovely Elliot, and this remix is just as damn catchy.

Truls Heggero is a Norwegian indie star who has started moving towards a more R&B influenced sound, as demonstrated on the original of Out Of Yourself here. Both versions are epic - check them out on Soundcloud above.

EP Review: Dreamroof - Van Pi

This new release marks the debut from Van Pi, a collaboration between Peter Rutten and Ivo Schmetz of Amsterdam. Dreamroof was created in collaboration with Dutch actress and singer Anna Speller, who provides the smooth and appropriately dreamy vocals.

The original version has a slightly spacey feel - warm bass lines and sparkling synths, combined with the vocals the result has a slightly Ballearic, sun-kissed vibe. Dreamroof represents the first release in Basserk's Domestic Bleeps series, which is focused on putting out electronic music for at home listening.

Along with an instrumental version the EP features three remixes. The AuxilIary tha Masterfader remix layers the vocal with a thick 90s R&B style bass line and snappy reverb heavy drums to great affect, giving the track a punchy and sassy feel. Hamertje Tik gives the track a big room feel, creating a uplifting house track but stripping out most of the vocals - it's accessible but feels a little obvious compared to everything else here. The Kratos Himself remix also strips back the vocals but keeps the synths and adds a more complex rhythm to give more of a dub.

Whilst the overall package is fairly modest Dreamroof is a decent enough intro to the Domestic Bleeps concept and the Auxiliary tha Masterfader mix is a worthy reason to check out the release.

Dreamroof is out now through Basserk, available from Amazon.co.uk on MP3 [affiliate link]. Check out the video below, and the Auxiliary the Masterfader remix further down:

Van Pi is the new project of Peter Rutten en Ivo Schmetz from Amsterdam. For their first Van Pi release they asked Dutch actress and singer Anna Speller to do guest vocals. The EP contains the original track, three remixes and an instrumental version. Each remix gives an interesting new perspective on the original track and the instrumental version shows there are a lot of great things going on underneath Anna Speller’s beautiful vocals. Dreamroof is the first release on Basserk’s new Domestic Bleeps series. This new series is focused on electronic music more suitable for listening at home.
