Toxic Tuesday 18 : Klaypex and Lemaitre

     Last night, driving home from work, I was working through the amazing amount of new music that I've found and planning posts for about three weeks. Then when I go to post today, I'm all out of creativity. So bear with me, I'm going to crank the stereo and see if I can smash some dubstep directly into my head.

     So I think my problem was the subject matter, I was trying to write up some ambient and psychedelic techno. I really think that dubstep could cure the common cold, it sure clears the head... bringing the coffee machine down to my office might have helped too.

     Earlier this week I watched a short video by Corridor Digital and Mike Diva, and it blew my mind. It took the phrase "music as a weapon" to a whole new level. Now thanks to them its all I can see in my mind when I listen to Klaypex .

Klaypex - Loose Dirt (EP) 

(Click to download)

     This album is fraught with the kind of dubstep that can make you dance and think in equal measure. I'm actually thinking of making a dark night dubstep mix for those long drives home along those crazy country roads. Thoughts aside Klaypex deserves way more publicity, and his EP is full of amazing remixes and originals that will surely make it into your head... and make you dream of dubstep guns....

     If you've ever ridden in a car with me you'll have been amazed by the upbeat disco stylings of Lemaitre. Now before you ask no I don't know how to pronounce the name, and from the backstage vids I've seen, neither do they. Truthfully it was Joehandsome who first smashed my ears with Lemaitre, and since that day I've been searching far and wide for a reliable link to their album. That still hasn't happened but thanks to the folks over at Musigh.com I can at least hit you with some of their best tracks.

Lemaitre - 1:18

Lemaitre - Strobes Pt. 2

Lemaitre - Momentum

Lemaitre - Fossil Fuels

Lemaitre - Nishio

Lemaitre - Primeval Atom

Lemaitre - The Friendly Sound

Lemaitre - Unclouded Judgment 

     All of those tracks are just a right click, save as, away. So grab them up, personal opinion would be that Friendly Sound is a perfect example of their sound. Lemaitre is a great place to start if you are new to electronic music, the bouncy beats and sheer volume of high end notes make all these songs sound like they should be playing on the sunniest day. Those of you that have been following us for a while or have a refined taste in electronic music will love the smooth transitions from styles and the way their sound varies from disco to Daft Punk-esque dancehall techno and then back easily so you get a taste of everything. Seeing these chaps live has gotten pretty high up on my bucket list.
