Dezeen Music Project: Who Knows? by Strong Asian Mothers

Strong Asian Mothers is another east London band, and includes K H U S H I (who we featured on Dezeen Music Project on Friday) on vocals and keyboards. But while Friday’s track was gentle and tender, the big, dirty synth that underpins Who Knows? is anything but.

Dezeen Music Project: Warm Leatherette by Yuri Suzuki

Sound artist, designer and musician Yuri Suzuki, who made this radio from an electronic circuit board that looks like the London tube map, has responded to our call-out for tracks to feature on Dezeen Live with his tribute to synth pioneer and Mute records founder Daniel Miller.

The track was recorded using the OP-1 portable synthesiser and sampler (prominently featured in this music video by Swedish House Mafia) by Swedish company Teenage Engineering.

If you’ve also got a track you’d also like to be featured on Dezeen Live, it’s easy to get involved. All you need to do is upload it to our Soundcloud account here.

Dezeen Music Project: Gravity by Twin Pod Cloud Car

This brooding electro-pop song is by a UK duo called Twin Pod Cloud Car. Taken from their album Don’t Panic, Gravity combines a ferocious electronic beat with chant-like repeating vocal melodies and lyrics that provide, in the band’s own words, “a simple science lesson”.

Dezeen Music Project: Overpopulation by Jordan Mitchell

Jordan Mitchell is a man of wide-ranging musical talents. The first tracks of his we heard were soft, soothing acoustic guitar instrumentals (check out Filtered Sunshine, which we featured on Dezeen Music Project back in March). But these days he’s just as likely to send over glitchy, stuttering electronica like this excellent track called Overpopulation.

Dezeen Music Project: Going Far by Kitzu

Israeli music label Anova Music have sent us over so many great tracks recently that we couldn’t just choose one, so we’re going to feature a track by one of their artists each day for the rest of the week on Dezeen Music Project.

First up is this slick track by Jerusalem-based band Kitzu. Taken from their recently released debut album, Going Far combines glitchy, post-rock instrumentation with a solid bass groove and infectious vocal hook.

Dezeen Music Project: Blue Sapphire by Remote Scenes

Dezeen Super Store at 38 Monmouth Street has been open for a few days now, and we’ve been playing Dezeen Music Project tunes through our brand new Big Jambox, which is on sale at the shop.

Setting up a pop-up is always a hectic business, so we’ve been very appreciative of all of the great chill-out tracks that have been coming our way. This one is a new track by Remote Scenes, who we originally featured back in May. Make sure you check that track out too.
