A playlist to take you to the beach.

Manatee Commune at @electricforestfest 2019. I took about a thousand photos of this fella as he played some of the prettiest songs I heard the entire weekend. 

I look forward to making new Forest memories in the future, but right now, I’m really glad that I have all my old ones.

I have such a weird ... Nostalgic longing for the crazy ass days of when I first moved to California

I was such a mess, and life was waaayy too wild and unstable, but i made some of the best memories

And even tho I was not okay...in a lot of ways....I oddly miss it

It seems appropriate to share some really stupendous remixes of SHAED’s hit smash Trampoline but one feature after we shared a remix of an Absofacto song, considering the fact that they’ll both be performing at the Independent in San Francisco on November 1st. Plus, Trampoline continues to climb charts and reach new levels of success after it first struck like hot iron after its widespread exposure in that MacBook Air commercial. The Washington, D.C. alt/electro-pop group certainly won my heart with the song from their sophomore EP Melt last year. LA production prodigy Jauz served up on of the most compelling such edits with his dark swiveling, dramatic tremoring bass remix, which he recently followed up with his This Is Off The Deep End compilation LP (stream, here). Also not to be missed is a shiver-inducing gem of an edit by BKAYE, a retro synthwave approach by Tromme, and a feathery gliding beauty by Manatee Commune, all of which can be streamed below. SHAED’s Melt EP is available, here.

Manatee Commune - “What We’ve Got” (feat. Flint Eastwood)

SXSW 2017 - OEB Score: 7; Popularity Index: 4

Pairs Well With…Flume, Giraffage, SG Lewis

Manatee Commune, a softened pop producer from Seattle, brings a cloudy, chilled perspective to the genre, experimentally wrapping beats around sanded down melodies. The midnight-drive distance in Manatee Commune’s music makes his songs exceedingly warm, whether instrumental productions or collaborations with indie pop vocalists. There’s an equal mix on his 2016 self-titled LP, the artist’s second since 2014 debut Brush, and Manatee Commune tends to even manipulate vocals, almost as much like a sample as a traditional electronic pop collaboration, an additional way he twists expectations while still sounding comfortable and confident.

Seattle, WA-based multi-instrumentalist, electronic music artist and producer Grant Eadie is the creative mastermind behind the acclaimed JOVM mainstay outfit Manatee Commune. Over the the better part of the past handful of years, Eadie has specialized in a carefully molded sound that pairs natural overtones extracted from field recordings and other sources, live instrumentation and arrangements and slick yet nuanced production. Eadie’s fourth Manatee Commune album Simultaneity is slated for a July 19, 2024 release Bastard Jazz. The album, which marks a return to his longtime label home, is anchored around the lush and vibrant production that’s his trademark while being a bold and mature step forward in his sound and songwriting approach. Eadie has stepped away from standard songwriting and lyrics altogether, with the album’s material leaning closer to ambient electronica while keeping one foot solid in the realm of house music. Simultaneity‘s latest single “Faulted” is a lush and woozy track anchored around gentle layers of glistening and reverb-soaked synth arpeggios, skittering percussion and tweeter and woofer rattling thump that twist and turns into dreamily prismatic patterns. Sonically recalling Octo Octa‘s Between Two Selves, “Faulted” is a track that’s meditative enough to be lounge friendly but with enough muscular oomph to be club friendly.
