Here on Newdust, we’re no strangers to Hypermagic’s blissful and surreal, ambient, downtempo tracks. This guy hasn’t released anything I haven’t liked, and his latest EP Hey Hey Sunshine is no exception. Here’s a video for the title track, along with track 2, “Red Lion.” |

Here at Newdust we’re big fans of the ambient & downtempo genres. A while back we did a post on Hypermagic’s self-titled 3-track ep. With his latest, Tangerine Scene, Hypermagic has done it again with another well-crafted & polished 3-track ep of downtempo, shoegazy goodness. Here’s my favorite, “Window Rat Sundae.” |

Alpha’s Lost In A Garden Of Clouds was the album that got me hooked on the triphop/downtempo/lounge genres. They’ve been making music for a little over a decade now, but this album was one of their first fully instrumental. What I love about the album is its seamless transitions from one song to the next. I’ve combined tracks 6-9 together to show you guys what I’m talking about. Pick up a copy of the 20-track album here. |

Here’s a pretty rad piece of downtempo that I came across during my daily shuffle through MOG’s Music Player. Yonderboi takes samples of the song “I Only Have Eyes For You”, made popular by The Flamingos in 1959, and transforms the usual doo wopness of the song into a completely different beast. Check it! |

Hypermagic blends the ambience & shoegaze genres with lush downtempo melodies to deliver some pretty mesmerizing tunes. His music has been described as ‘a clandestine indulgence in pure melody, nostalgia, simplicity and drunken bliss.’ Well put. If you’ve got a decent pair of headphones, plug them in before listening. Crank it up and close your eyes. Download the album for free on bandcamp. |

FaltyDL is ‘a veritable fountain of electronica, IDM, jungle, and drum and bass.’ This is trip hop at its finest. The album is short and sweet, and extremely addictive. Try listening to it just once. Click here to download the album. |
