STREAM New Geoff Barrow of Portishead Music (MP3)

Portishead’s Geoff Barrow has some new tunes for us to hear. And while none of it is fresh music from his most famous band, the producer/DJ/drummer is offering up selections from his groups DROKK and BEAK> as part of a sample for his Invada record label. The two DROKK songs, “Exhale” and “Justice One,” are basically dark ambient piecesrecorded with Ben Sailsbury that were inspired by “Mega City One” (comic geek alert).

Other standouts on the compilation include Barrow’s remix of the rocking “The Haunting” by Scarlet Rascal & Train Wreck and Anika’s cover of Chromatic’s “In The City.” Check out the full 11-song sampler after the jump.

D’Angelo :: “Left & Right” (James Blake Harmonimix) (MP3)

James Blake’s previous releases have been nothing to scoff at, but his vocals, while well-matched to his production style, have always felt a bit anemic. Which makes this remix of D’Angelo’s “Left & Right” off of Voodoo exactly what the Blake doubters have been looking for. It should come as no surprise that the newly-rejuvenated soul singer’s voice plays wonders across Blake’s mutant ambient dubstep sounds. Maybe D’A should consider JB to work on the new album allegedly coming soon.

U.S. Elevator – All Through The Night (Premiere) (MP3)

With one foot steeped in tradition and one foot towards the future, ‘All Through The Night’ stands as a hauntingly lush and melodic first effort by the musical collaboration known as U.S. Elevator.  Composed of folk royalty, Sarah Lee & Johnny and the beat geniuses known as The Rondo Brothers, U.S. Elevator has created a new ‘beat-folk’ sound by taking the rich musical history of folk and injecting an essence of beat-electronic compositions.

The initial track off of the EP, Valentine, which incidentally releases on February 14, can only be heard as something ‘unexpected and exceptional.’  The folk sensibilities, the airy presence, and lush vocal rrangements that Sarah Lee and Johnny lend to the track play off of the drum machine influences of the Rondo Brothers to produce a cover that breathes fresh air into the track originally made famous by …
