Excellent hip-hop beat you can download from BUN's Soundcloud or via this streamer...

The local shoegazer revival starts (and ends) with these guys, as you can hear in this track that The Corner linked to in May.

Weekly MP3 #183: Jeff Sharel - Conte d'Automne

Jeff Sharel

Great late night drifting, dusty jazz loops and breathy flute, via Epitonic.

Crackle-heavy bass loop, some piano flourishes, and a breathy flute solo. The only beats are in the realms of conga and shakers, zero boom bap. This kind of thing could easily get maligned because of its cafe friendly sound, but the track stands up really well I reckon.

Weekly MP3 #182: Lagos Disco Machine - We Went To Churchaven Today And I Fell In The Water

I guess the title hints that this is not going to be at all disco, nor Nigerian-sounding for that matter.  I grabbed it from The Internet Archive, where it was uploaded by an Australian label, but you could also try the guy's Bandcamp...

Weekly MP3 #181: Kris Keogh - As Meteor Showers Melted Your Heart

Solo harp deconstructions thanks to New Weird Australia. It's one of those pay-if-you'd-like-to jobbies.
