"Thomas Mullarney III and Jacob Gossett are Beacon, a Greenpoint-based duo steeped in ’90s and contemporary R&B, IDM, and bass music. Moodgadget is set to release Beacon’s No Body EP, the project’s second collection of songs to triangulate those worlds into a sensual, downtempo electronic mesh of lush synths and lusty falsetto. It’s How To Dress Well with slightly less BMG CD club R&B, slightly more Warp Records infusion. No Body is lights-down music, ambient-pop for the unrequited, the logical result of years absorbing Boards Of Canada and Postal Service, Matthew Dear and Karin Dreijer Andersson, The-Dream and Ginuwine." - Stereogum

The witty lyrics and expansive arrangements of D. Gookin dazzle the mind and fill the soul with the notion of infinite potential via synth patches.

Toronto ambient pop stargazer Warren Hildebrand, records under the moniker Foxes in Fiction. In February of 2010, Hildebrand self-released his debut album, Swung From The Branches, for free through his self-run label Orchid Tapes to universal praise from fans and music critics alike. In the following months, he signed to Brooklyn’s Moodgadget Records, who physically re-released the album with three new songs, eventually earning accolades from many notable blogs including Pitchfork Media. The album itself is composed of sprawling atmospheric landscapes and acute loop-based hazy pop songs that reflect on the life experiences and day-to-day events of Hildebrand’s life. The Foxes in Fiction live show is a striking and intimate experience in which Hildebrand, using his voice, guitar and electronics, replicates elements of his lush pop songs through tapestries of meditative soundscapes, looping techniques and highly humanized ambient electronica.

"Unlike some ambient music, Loyal, Polish-born Jakub Alexander’s release under the Heathered Pearls moniker, embraces the idea of melody with understated but distinct sounds emerging from the loops Alexander uses to construct his tracks. Pitchfork says lead single, “Beach Shelter,” “feeds off the same kind of unsettling ambience as Tim Hecker’sRavedeath, 1972, where the sense of a malevolent force lurking just beneath the surface is prevalent throughout. It’s filled with coarse, sandpaper-y textures, all pulling together to create a sense of quiet abrasion.”"

Jacob 2-2 draws from the old school hip-hop production of Duke Bootee and Erik B, while incorporating some new techniques reminiscent of Hudson Mohawke and Neon Indian. The result is a sound that is both introverted and flamboyant, a pimpadelic excursion through the midtempo.

Inspired by italo, electro and the 80s new wave movement, Teeel aka Jim Smith credits his sound to marathon movie watching and being an obsessive gear head. Crammed in a 10x10 teal painted room, stacked with synthesizers and walls covered with vintage Moog ads, Jim creates music that is perhaps best described as hypnotic soft-vocal, synthpop.
