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.

Each of the three tracks carries a different vibe, from the deep future garage shuffle in Cetra to the more dnb-informed Bear the Mark or Runna’s nods to aspects of juke and bass music. Above, listen to the debut preview of the EP, which is coming in early June along with a remix from Detroit up-and-comer …
In celebration of Bob Moog’s 78th birthday, today Google transformed their splash page into a playable synthesizer, complete with four track looping capabilities. Further carrying the electronic music innovator’s spirit into the 21st century, Moog’s recently released the Animoog: an iPad/iPhone instrument powered by their Anisotropic Synth Engine, which allows the player to expressively manipulate tones via an X/Y pad, resulting in the inspiring permutability that Moog’s known for without the mess of patch cables.
