SceneStar Interview: Shigeto

• Written by: mferry
• Filed under: Videos: ghostly international, shigeto

Shigeto‘s shades of cool, melodic, instrumental hip-hop are a welcome respite from four-to-the-floor. His latest album, Lineage, is yet another solid-gold LP from Ann Arbor’ Ghostly International. Missing from Lineage is the drum-machining maximalism present in his debut, Full Circle, replaced instead with a kind of liquifying blend of dare-I-say jazzy IDM (gasp!) that could only be created by a producer brought up on a steady diet of jazz and Motown. Learn more about Shigeto’s sound and inspiration in SceneStars interview above and check out the rest of Shigeto’s catalog here.

Nicolas Jaar: Materials

Nicolas Jaar’s Marks & Angles EP on Circus Company tends to get overshadowed by his album Space Is Only Noise and the releases on his own label Clown And Sunset. Still, that 2010 EP was pivotal for him, and if it hadn’t been for tracks like “Marks,” “Angles,” and “Materials,” then his career might have developed very differently indeed.

To help jog our memories, Pondr have produced an extremely weird and surreal video to accompany “Materials,” featuring floating trumpets and (what else?) scary clowns.
