Los Angeles based producer Spazzkid recently released Desire. The eclectic record pulls inspiration from traditional beat makers, post-dubstep and chillwave. While the album is self-recorded, mixed and mastered it manages to sound sophisticated while still maintaining the intimacy of a bedroom production.

Janelle Monáe is back with a soulful new track and it feels so good! Her new single “Q.U.E.E.N” features none other than Erykah Badu. We can only hope that that they plan to collaborate on more than one track. We also have a new one from Montreal’s Solar Year, who seem to be channeling one of our all time favorites Fever Ray.

Last year, at London’s award winning architectural masterpiece known as the Rave (pictured above) marked the launch of Music Tech Fest. The Fest launched with 55 performers and presenters, 77 creatives, 75 hackers and over 700 live-streaming viewers from over 40 countries, with 1,000 people in attendance.

This year we’ll be crossing the pond to present exfm, participate in the 24 hour 3D hack camp and chat about our favorite topics music and technology. You can register for free and take a look back at some of last year’s presenters over on their YouTube channel.

They’ve also created this fun album art project. So far people have recreated iconic album art with everything from spaghetti to matches. To participate post your creations to Twitter/Instagram using #MakeMusicWithAnything. The best will be then used in this year’s Music Tech Fest poster. Good luck!

What is this exfm?

Only the best way to discover and share new music online. Like, ever!
