Just a few notes and jottings here.
This article on Monoloc and production is worth hanging on to. Some good stuff about the use of space, background noise. And the tunes aren't bad either.

Prolific rapper Oddisee's got a dancey track, Things, on his latest album, the Iceberg, that I didn't want to get overlooked. As usual you can hear the entire album at the bandcamp page.
Another boring technical thing here -- Four Tet talking about how he does his thing live:
I've read that he does everything in Ableton when it comes to making music, but it's interesting how he changes things up to play out live. I've seen him live, actually playing out the album that you hear bits of here, so it's extra interesting to see how he did it.
Finally, I've got around to listening to the third XX album, I See You. Haven't heard it all yet, and I know I'm late to this track, but really like it -- it's got me looking up how-to bits on dub rhythms and bass lines:
Two things really get me on this track -- the lovely nostalgic feeling has me looking back to college and all that emotional up and down; and I'm really impressed by the singing -- both singers really displaying that they've got great voices when the raise the volume a bit. Looking forward to seeing them next month.
