Lindsay Lowend is Antonio Mendez, an under-the-radar artist producing eclectic electronic beats that range from celestial, Minnesota-like tunes to grimier bass-driven trap. Today we present to you something on the more mellow end of his beats, a track entitled ‘Cosmonaut’. A perfect accompaniment for daydreaming, ‘Cosmonaut’ is simple and sweet. Take a listen below: Lindsay...
Jessie Ware is a singer-songwriter who first came to my attention when the British duo Disclosure remixed her single ‘Running’. The remix reminded me of the UK’s 2-step/garage glory days, with Ware’s vocals bringing to mind an old 2-step remix of Shola Ama I’d loved. Today, British tastemaker Annie Mac uploaded to SoundCloud a free...

Need some synth-fire to accompany this outrageous SoCal heatwave? Check out this bouncy, uplifting disco house remix of Van She’s ‘Idea of Happiness’, courtesy of the funky Canadian, Robotaki.

A strange mix of hipsters, hipster-wannabes, frat boys and geeky music-lovers united Friday evening at the Echoplex for a stacked night of beat-mastery from FoF artists, Shlohmo, Salva, LOL Boys and Groundislava. Unfortunately, after dealing with some Security holdups, my friends and I got into the Echoplex only just in time to catch Salva. Sadly,...

From tribal to Chicago house, this Buenos Aires-based duo show off their knowledge on their newly released Hidden Mask EP. I’d be hard pressed to pick a favorite track but Oladisco is pure liquid dance. The bell sounds are a nice light touch that keeps the groove fun and the break around the 4:06 mark...

If you’re like me, you might actually be too young to authentically get nostalgic for some of the most classic old school hip-hop. In fact, I was born a month before Eric B & Rakim released their seminal debut album, ‘Paid in Full’, from which this track, ‘I Know You Got Soul’ was released as...

![Kae - Truth [Free Download] [SoundCloud]](http://brokebeats.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/quattro-290x290.jpeg "Kae - Truth [Free Download] [SoundCloud]")
With a voice like velvet, Kae’s presence saunters on by in this lovely Erykah Badu-esque track. The original instrumental is by fLako, whose production could stand well enough on its own as a hypnotizing hip-hop beat. Kae’s track add the icing on the cake though, her soulful vocals lingering on in my ears well after...

Aspect Music (otherwise known as Niven Peacock) is a mysterious 16-year-old producer out of Leicester, England who reached out to me via email with his track ‘She Knows’. Jamie XX-esque in its percussion, the track is deep, soulful and incredibly impressive, regardless of the fact that it was produced by someone so young. Self-described as...
