Usually when you’re told about an artist who blends genres to his advantage, it serves to explain the unexplainable by dissecting minute aspects of a homogenous whole, made of appropriated sounds by a producer who’s just trying to make it all work. The way that Eliot Lipp shares a glimpse of his sonic world on his new album “Shark Wolf Rabbit Snake” is quite the opposite of these haphazard attempts at boundary-blurring: he asserts each nod to his influences with confidence, showing us that he’s been around long enough to know what he likes and that he can pay respect to as well as stand up to the pioneers that came before him.

Seattle’s sonic journey returns once again this coming September; as the first 60 acts of Decibel Festival 2012 are officially announced. This year’s focus is not just on the underground producers of today’s electronic world, but a slight focus bestowed upon pop and alternative acts, such as Canadian pop sensation Dragonette, the hauntingly epic Ariel Pink, or Kimbra, whose feature on a certain #1 tune has been rotating radio, YouTube and every coffee shop around the States. Along with that are notable acts such as: Actress (Honest Jon’s), Andy Stott (Modern Love), Carl Craig (Planet E), Kuedo (Planet Mu), Nina Kraviz (Rekids), Terrence Parker and many more. Check out the rest of the sixty acts lined up for Decibel as well as where the festival will take place after the jump.

Is there any better way to greet summer than with the announcement of a new Disclosure EP? We only have to wait ten more days until hearing the entirety of the “Faces EP” coming via Greco-Roman, but luckily we’ve got two of the four tracks to share in advance. First is EP opener “Boiling” featuring Sinead Harnett on vocals and the bright shuffle the duo has made their signature, incorporating bits of Detroit house, UK garage, 90s hip-hop and everything else. “What’s In Your Head” continues much in the same direction and shows us that the 20- and 17-year-old producers are far from exhausting the musical territory that they’re exploring. Below, check the streams for “Boiling” and “What’s In Your Head” as well as Disclosure’s FACT mix …

Pittsburgh indie rap legends Grand Buffet are reuniting for a four-show Northeast run of B. Dolans’s 2nd Annual Church of Love & Ruin. The group has been on a three year hiatus following years of touring in which they stole show after show opening for the likes of MGMT, Girl Talk, and Of Montreal. The event, which drew rave reviews last year, is inspired by UK boutique festivals and features everything from hip hop to burlesque to toilet paper dodgeball. This year’s lineup sees the addition of Strange Famous head honcho Sage Francis, Mux Mool of Ghostly International, SXSW favorites Wheelchair Sports Camp, and the Providence duo Juan Deuce & Falside.
