Just like the rest of the world at the moment. Ive been really into RnB and have been loving the comeback its making. This lofi RnB / Funk / Beats takeover comes from a little of all genres. A bookmark in time, Ghost Modernism. The reverby emotion it conveys is right down our alley here. And have been loving all the new acts that have been popping up. These are just a few of the artists i’ve been super excited about. Watch for more posts on these and more artists and possibly a new mix series. Enjoy!
My first notice of this style of music was the RXRY “RxB mixtape he put out for Stadiums & Shrines about a year ago.
Awwwww yeah! Its here! Check out the new highly anticipated Death Grips album “The Money Store” streaming in its entirety on their soundcloud. Which is now up for Pre-order at InSound. Have been waiting on this one for a month now. Somehow this album is even more nuts than their freshman release “Ex-military”. I’ll Just leave it at that and do a proper review on it when it drops. Just listen to it! Preorder it, bump it in your ride. Get cray. Enjoy.
Dont forget to grab this on record store day april 21st! This is a must have for the vinyl collection.
I just recently found the label Infinite Machine, and i’m extremely impressed. Bwanawas one of the many artists such as ∆dmin, BRUISES, Runamucker, etc… This is a little preview of his album that per Kudos records will be available Feb 6th. Its out for preorder as of Jan 21st. Bwana is everything I want my future garage to sound like. Will probably miss out on this vinyl though and go for the digital. Vinyl is limited to 300 copies and seems it will go fast. Anyways, Bwana and the whole Infinite Machine roster is this weeks Bummer Bliss. I figure that should make up for the week or 2 I missed. Such an amazing label with some great artists making futuristic heartbeats to the tune of two step. Yeah.. it’s good.

TineZ always brings the heat and does it well. I first heard of him when he sent me a mix that was a warmup for a Rustie. I have since listened to all of his mixes at least more than once. His track selection is impecable and the mixing never sloppy. So I went to check on his soundcloud today to see he posted a 2012 mix! All I have to say is look at that track list.
Im really not even sure how I stumbled upon Kami Kapnobatai , But this is what I like, the music that gives me chills, The music I like to call ~dopewave~. I know, Its silly to make up genres, But I started a theme and just went with it. Now i see people labeling them as dopewave, I dont know if I started that or even care but it goes to show that we as united blogs, are making a difference, We are making unknown music known, Free promotion for those who cant afford it. This is 2012, This is the year of the blog, this is the year we take back music. As a collective of lovers of music and not critics or haters. We will bring back all music, every genre. People already make it. Its just not known. Kami Kapnobataiis a perfect example, his/her Facebook literally has 6 likes on it. So like it god damn it, spread this post. Make it well known… that is only if you enjoy the music of course. For me, this is why I write about music, the inspiration i get from music like this makes me feel like we can do anything as artists.
The time is now, 2012 is the year the people take back media, and share it with everyone. Yeah sure, The artists need paid, but i really don’t think any artists should be making millions of dollars. Thats hype, thats money being poured into someone to make millions of dollars. Don’t get me wrong. I would take the money but not at the risk of creativeness sake. I plan to keep this blog ad free as long as I possibly can until it gets to big for me to handle and I have to monotize. (dont worry contributors and resident dj’s) you’ll be the first to get paid. Anyways.. Kami Kapnobatai – Feels Like Dope, will be the opener for the third install ment of Bummer Bit Presents: ~dopewave~ . Which will be mixed live on the air at the end of the month and then put up on soundcloud for free download. I actually plan on doing a few remixes this time around. If any artists feel like they fit the criterea for “dopewave” , whatever that even is, please send me your tracks at Bummerbit@gmail.com. This is going to be a two hour mix and well thought out. Unlike the previous two. I am working with a few artists to make specific “dopewave” vibe music. its silly , It really is. Its also fun as hell. Take a theme and run with it. If people bite.. cool. Thats what we do as artists try to inspire. right? Or maybe I have it all wrong and Im a hype man, as been accused before. I don’t make money, I pay money to do this. I need an outlet for creativity, so I made one, Im sure all true artists know exactly what im talking about.
Anyways, expect an amazing dopewave v3 at the end of the month. I have asked Kami Kapnobatai to do this mix but i am unsure of how busy he/she is. So we will see. Watch for lots of remixes and exclusives. Either way, If you want in.. there’s still room.. We’re just getting started. holla. ride the dopewave~
Bombay Bicycle Club – ‘Lights Out, Words Gone’ (Rub A Dub version)
This weeks Bummer Blissis a good one for me. Bombay Bicycle Club was the one of the first bands I ever blogged about and with their newest album “A Different Kind Of Fix” they bring back where they left off from their early demo and “I had the Blues But Shook Them Loose” to brilliant indie pop and Jack Steadman’s waverying yet indie pop ready vocals. While their acoustic effort “Flaws” was brilliant and showed another side of BBC, Their new album brought the Indie kiddies into Indie pop greats by bringing back their old popy post punk rock sound. I am more than impressed. I know this is way late in the game and they are large enough to not need free publicity but I’ve been following these kids since they where just a blip on the radar and I’m glad to see they are getting the recognition they finally deserve. They are and will be one of my Top 5 Indie Rock bands. This Bibio Remix is especially chilling and personal as is the “lights out, Words Gone rub a dub” version. These are this weeks Bummer Bliss.

Wave Twisters is a 45 minute dj turntable scratch sci-fi stoner cartoon movie and it even has a PLOT. I think. In this cartoon this chick has been hypnotized into thinking she’s an ostrich.. so she’s running around as one. But in her brain some sort of psychic ghost of her human self is running around trying to kill the poisonous psychokinetic sound waves.. no wait I guess it’s the evil overlords lair. Anyway, that was just a snatch of it most of it is cyber warfare spaceship battles and dj showdowns. It references all sorts of old nerdy games and movies and is hilarious but the best part is the music is fucking sick, I love turntableism and scratching and weird effects thrown in and this thing has it all. Its fast paced so you gotta be in the mood to have your brain blasted into hyperspace, I recommend at least toasting the afterburners if you know what I mean. I mean smoke a joint and drop yourself into the warp speed couch. Oh and I think DJ Q-Bert is the main man behind the music here.
Mimicswow… ive never even heard of this guy and the first thing i hear im grasped.. While sample based and heavily influenced.. Its also very very original. Its been on repeat for days. I dont think they’re on a label. But I would love to do a vinyl or cassette split with this guy. I think this would sound amazing on a cassette. This is my inspiration. This is dopewave. ~vintage sounds, modern life~

Our mysterious, hardest working, and favorite artist in the electronic industry at the moment (in my opinion at least) dropped a quick 20-minute signature ℳ.Ⅰ.✕. †.▲.℘.Σ. for Fake Diamonds Clothing(another fave) today, making that his third mix thus far. I know, we just posted about Slow Magic, but he really is our favorite over here at Bummer Bit. As explained in the post below, he priemered his first ℳ.Ⅰ.✕. †.▲.℘.Σright here on Bummer Bit Radio, which was amazing, considering at the time our site wasn’t even finished. He was the first person I’ve contacted to do a guest mix. Surprisingly, he was more than happy to do it (and so was I). His newest track “moon” that dropped a few days ago, almost completes his album, though it is still up in the air on who will distribute it or what label he will go with. He has said that he expects a vinyl release in the EU under a smaller label, with a few big names on it. I won’t disclose anymore on this because it isn’t set in stone yet. But seriously; why hasnt this man been signed in th U.S.?!? He’s got chops, he’s got the skill, he’s gained a fan base pretty much all by himself with only bloggers promoting him. I would kill to see him get signed to an amazing label likeGhostly or moodgadget. Sam Valenti IV!! Jakub!!! Scott Hansen!!! This man needs signed. If I had the money to press vinyl, I would be on this like a heartbeat. Think about it. He fits right in. Graphic designer, glowing beats, slo-fi bliss. I don’t know. I’m a huge fan of moodgadget/ghostly/iso50 and I really think he fits in one of those. He deserves the recognition they could give him. Just think, a Slow Magic Ghostlycast?!?!!? I can dream can’t I? I hope Jakub or Scott read this and truly take into consideration the perfect fitting of aSlow Magic addition. He’s not just hype; he’s the real deal, folks.
Bonus: the design above is another one of Slow’s fantastic designs and will be the cover of his new LP which which hasn’t officially been announced yet . Fake Diamonds Clothingwilll be releasing a shirt design in colaboriation with Slow Magic’s release.
This was recorded in front of a live computer audience.
Some of my favorite tracks at the moment, beats, leans, and dopewave.
~vintage sounds, future life~
