No Pain in Pop is a label we haven’t covered much on Mapzzz, but it is certainly one that has been on our radar for some time.  Now, with the release of the label’s new compilation, The Bedroom Club II, we thought it was about time to get some of its music [...]

Honestly, we may have not realized it until now, but it’s been way too long since we last heard from Asura. Then—out of nowhere—the LA producer/cellist floats two new tunes onto his SoundCloud, both of which display a welcome evolution to his sound and are really just beautiful pieces of textured production.

Mapzzz’s own Glenn Jackson has unveiled another cut from his forthcoming Morning Swim EP for Ceremony, this time offering up a stream of the Summer-tinged title track “Morning Swim.” Some synths, some bells, some disco drums—dive in.

Originally based out of Minneapolis, we’ve taken quite a liking to the Moon Glyph label since the outfit moved to our fair town of Oakland last year, introducing us to its wide array of synthy sonic adventures in the process.

Todd Terje and Lindstrøm have joined forces for “Lanzarote,” a gluttonous piece of synth-loving disco. And yes, it’s as rad as a combination of this caliber should be.

Mapzzz’s own head honcho, Glenn Jackson, has an EP on its way next month for NY’s Ceremony imprint and has revealed the forthcoming record’s first single, “Save.” With over five minutes of juicy piano loops and swirling space, it’s a mellow piece of house, but one that still comes [...]

Usually, we’re not too keen on shortened, preview-style streams of records, but we are willing to make exceptions, and in the case of Leon Vynehall’s forthcoming Rosalind EP and Russian producer Nphonix’s upcoming record for the Audio Culture label—an exception has been made. But, for good [...]
