Irish electronic music artist Donnacha Costello is having a "pay what you want" this week in his Bandcamp. Not familiar with his output previously, this was the perfect excuse for me to get into his music. Glad I did because there's some really beautiful tunes, like the The Only Way To... EP. Near-perfect, timeless ambient electro. Dig deeply into Donnacha Costello NAME YOUR PRICE 7 releases FLAC/320 kbps/etc.

Red Bull Music Academy finished yet another year of electronic music educations and as always, it's time to hear the tunes all the participants created in the form of compilation. If the selection seems a bit overwhelming, no problem, I've picked just one highlight for you above. In Starlight we hear the delighful voice of Mickey de Grand IV (of Psychic Mirrors) backed up with nice 'n' cheeky synth boogie sounds. Mickey has an album of his own coming up on Cosmic Chronic! This year RBMA created also a semi-amusing interactive page for you to listen & download the tracks. FREE DOWNLOAD (direct link) 320 kbps 35 tracks

Beat the Break "Paying homage to all the creative minds held down by their day jobs. Cut loose from your office routines and loop these tunes during your statutory break. A new mix every Sunday… Just in time for an excruciating Monday morning." Great concept!

The track was posted last week as a teaser for the upcoming LP (4x12"). Head to Levon Vincent's FB page for free download (for personal use).
