Audio Digest - My Ears Right Now

Right some stuff which has been playing a lot of late whenever I seem to be near to my iPod or Laptop, hope you enjoy these tracks, i've been working hard on new material but I have zero inspiration right now, a journey to some corner of the earth that is uninhabited would be ideal but got stuff going on so sadly that's out the question.

I'm getting big influences just now for what I want to make from a variety of artists but can't seem to create the sound that i'm picturing in my head :( sad times, anyway this is just a quick entry really with a few artists for you to check out and let your ears enjoy.

First up Funki Porcini who is signed to NinjaTune and has released soon absolutly beautiful music, I find similarities to Bonobo but it's quite unique aswell in its own right the type of music, it's hard to convey exactly the style, it's easier for you to listen yourself.



As metioned above here's some Bonobo for you since it's been a while since i've posted up any, brilliant downtempo jazzy stuff, I would highly recommend their newest album 'Black Sands' if your a fan of the style.



Next one probably won't be everyone's cup of tea but it's been getting played on last.fm every time i've been on in the last while, can't really find a lot of information on Mechanical Me apart from they were signed to Lumenessence and are now on an "extended sabbatical". Beautiful, haunting yet somehow familiar, have a listen and see what you think.



Finally we have TM Juke with his unique brand of lo-fi downtempo soulful hip-hop, this is probably the closest to where I want to be musically at this time, not gonna write anything else about this at this time, just listen and absorb it !



Hope you enjoy the tracks
