5 young Electronic Producers that should be on your radar

...of course, cheap access to production technology does not guarantee creativity and innovation. Too many of those often very young musicians concentrate on imitating and recreating what’s already out there. But some of them don’t have to fear a comparison with well-established figures of the genre like FLUME, CARIBOU or JAMIE XX – they venture into new, exciting territory.

An Ecosystem of Sound | Told through an abstract web of deep-toned synths, unfettered sampling, and heady harmonics, "Until It's Gone" offers a step into the mind of San-Francisco's Ryan Claus (aka. Little Glass Men). Designer, producer, and self-professed 'Peter Pan' of the glitch-hop movement, Claus brings into being a project "upon which your drifting mind will capitalize."

morceau du jour: Little Glass Men - The Flame

"...it is largely undisputed at Team Poule headquaters that his music is among the most exciting new sounds that hit our speakers this year. A vibrant mix of lo-fi grooves, vintage samples and live instrumentation - you might even spot a banjo in there - that creates an amazingly chill sound with a sunny West Coast optimism and freshness to it.

Listen/review: Little Glass Men - Cycles

"...it's a peaceful retreat into an inner sanctum free from the megalomaniacal angst of the world. Resolutely escapist and almost mischievously playful, it’s the aural equivalent of stumbling upon a magical fairy dance deep in a verdant woodland somewhere, or something like that.
