Five Elektrik Gems

Posted on by

The top five trakks I’ve had on repeat this week.

1. Portico – Living Fields ft Jono McCleery

Portico announced last week that they were signed to Ninja Tune, which came as no surprise to The Elektrik Cave, it’s obvious that they would fit right in to the Ninja Tune family. This is a new track they have released with Jono McCleery on Ninja Tune.

2. DubRocca – Making Me Feel

Well this made me think of The Elektrik Caves early days, and I’ve been dancing around to this track all week. DJ Cameo, played it on 1Xtra about 10 days ago. So, it’s brand spanking new!

3. Tom Misch – In the Middle of The Night

A slightly darker track than usual for Mr Misch, but it still sounds effortless and beautiful.

Also, Tom has just posted a free download.

4. Flying Lotus – Never Catch Me ft Kendrick Lamar

I’ve said it already this week, but I’ll say it again. Thank you Flying Lotus!

5. SumoChief – 1of1 (Handbook Remix)

To celebrate their remix EP, they’ve posted the first track off the EP. Released on Lunatick Records.

Tune in to The Elektrik Cave tomorrow on Roundhouse Radio, from 6-7pm, I’ll be playing the remix.

The top five trakks I’ve had on repeat this week. Some are old, some are new, but all of them are Elektrik Gems.

1. Ben Hauke – Agita Remix

His EP, WARI will be out in April on Melodica Records

2. Taylor McFerrin – The Antidote 

Taylor McFerrin has an EP coming out in June on Brainfeeder. The Antidote will feature on it.

3. Flying Lotus – Do the Astral Plane 

As well as an Elektrik Gem, this track is also a Sound Ekho. It’s from the album Cosmogramma, and was released on Warp Records in 2010. But this week, I found myself digging out some old trakks.

4. Robert Glasper ft KING – Move Love (Ahmed Sirour Remix) 

A beautiful rework of a great trakk from Black Radio, which was Robert Glaspers fifth studio album and was released in 2012 on Blue Note Records.

5. Kirkis. – mirror 

From Melbourne, AUS this guy is making soulful electronic music. I believe he’ll be releasing Liverbleach sometime soon.
