Lo-fi, psychedelic, experimental, dubby hip-hop and rock. Gonjasufi (born Sumach Ecks) teamed up with underground hip-hop producer The Gaslamp Killer for his debut release in 2010, A Sufi And A Killer. The album sports 19 short and sweet tracks of glitched noise, skeletal instrumentation, and Sumach’s crowing vocals; along with several obscure samples from cultural music and old Turkish cinema. To top it all off, Sumach has also been an actor, having played Helios in the opera Persephone, and works as a yoga instructor in Las Vegas.

Hideki Taniuchi is a Japanese composer who has done works for anime television shows including Aoi Bungaku, Otogi Zoshi, and most notably the Death Note series. His music bears an impressive range, from somber alt-rock to electronic experimental to dreadful ambience. He is a master at portraying the despondence and wonder within us all.

Hear it: For that dreadful flow, that seething roar. From jungle to desert to grievous night. Let these echoes string you together, sew you up, and make you whole. Only to be splintered and dazed once more. Cleanse the body, and the mind, with “laxatives“. Wednesdays at midnight with alphonse and sufflé. Only on WRCT Pittsburgh.

Blackbird Blackbird is the moniker of San Francisco-based wünderkind Mikey Maramag. His unique style of dreamy folktronica recalls influences from all ends of the musical spectrum; deeply textured, hypnotic songs pay homage to psychedelic pop the likes of Caribou and Washed Out, while the warmth of analogue instrumentation spliced with digital artifacts hints at contemporaries James Blake, Four Tet and Mount Kimbie.

Anthemic, dream-driven themes inspire Blackbird Blackbird’s work, where layers of electronic texture drape over organic sounds and ghostly vocals. Within elongated song structures, Blackbird Blackbird harnesses thematic elements of dynamism and composition to create depth and complexity, while never losing sight of his pop sensibilities.
