Premiere: Cloud Control – Dojo Rising (Wise Blood Wildwood Remix)

CLOUD-CONTROL-DREAMCAVE

We LOVE Cloud Control and we LOVE Wise Blood so premiering this hot-off-the-press new remix of “Dojo Rising” is a clear B3 no brainer. On the track, US-based Wise Blood selects for a hypnotic melange of warm psyched-out synths and deep reverberates-out-your-chest drums that are circadian in their repetition. Londoners Cloud Control, who are currently in America right now playing a small slate of mainly West Coast dates, are readying the release of their upcoming Dream Cave LP which is due September 17th via Votiv. You can sample Wise Blood’s remix of “Dojo Rising” below.

Rave’s Fave: MGMT – Your Life Is A Lie

MGMT

Here’s the second song and first official single to drop from MGMT’s self-titled September album. This is huge for the band. While they like to march to their own beat, their commercial momentum will depend heavily on how this album does for them. “Your Life Is A Lie” is definitely more straight forward than what we’re used to from them, and it also is less of a tune you can dance to. My calling this a “fave” might be a bit of a stretch after a couple of listens, but the song is definitely catchy and deserves to be heard. Tell us what you think of it?

Rose Elinor Dougall – Strange Warnings

rose elinor dougall

“Strange Warnings” is new from UK-based artist Rose Elinor Dougall. Her first proper single since the release of 2010’s well lauded Without Why (Dougall’s debut). The excellent layered pop of “Strange Warnings” is adeptly buoyed by it’s strong tunefulness and compact and inventive arrangement. Great track.
