SFP™ 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

HAPPY ONE YEAR OF SLEEP FUCK PARTY™!
It's been a good one, so in honor of our ongoing natural talent found in supplying you grade-A sound waves, hot off the press, for 12 solid months-- we're bringing you a fat big slice of progressive delicatessen. 

Gutter Glitter - Lapalux Hip hop from Essex. If you've heard the name before, it's probably from the Gwen Stefani Luxurious remix. Let's just call these sounds the by-products of a multi-purpose electro/organic sound continuum and a broken wind chime hanging in Flying Lotus' back yard. 

Born To Die (AlunaGeorge Remix) - Lana Del Rey UK experimental hip hop/glitch pop was really the only way to go remixing this song right. The vocals grow more powerful, the feminine suppliance, more soulful, the underlying staccato rhythm, more watery and warbling. In 2012, quavering voices and constantly changing notes-- all of which oft lean toward the capricious-- are a good thing.

Animals (feat. Holly Miranda) (Modern Machines Remix) - CREEP This time around, the Brooklyn girls metamorphose from muses into animals. Luckily, deep house, fruitfully induced into climax by piano crescendos, is here to lend a limb.

Real Is A Feeling (Unicorn Kid Ecstasy Dream Mix) - Pictureplane Twisted house connoisseur Pictureplane is giving away several remixes, now not-so-gracefully scattered throughout the roughage.  Edinburgh composer Unicorn Kid brings a borderline sea punk lemon twist to a cadence that was previously far more unvaried. Now, I'm not sipping on any ecstasy dream mix, but I'm pretty sure I see dolphins over there.

Got Me Twisted - Api Robert Redwine's own label, Coral Records Internazionale, gladly presents Api. Here, twinkly Utopian instrumentals weave through turquoise color schemes like it ain't no thang-- 'cus it isn't.

Back To Back (AlunaGeorge Remix) - Wolf Gang Experimental hip-hop's rising UK duo AlunaGeorge brings nostalgic sensuality to stale British rock. Let's just say a snare drum got the hiccups and a squeaky voiced kid who break dances on the side was there to rework it. Wait, the original's actually delicious.

You Know You Like It (Riton Rerub) - AlunaGeorge Totally hot and fun, laced with soft sirens, making this an almost-club-banger. Except we're better than clubs, so suck it.

Hit Me feat. Jimmy Edgar - Emika For some reason, this one has no sound for the first 14 seconds... if you can fix it re-upload it and comment it on this post. 

Touching Transform (HOLLAGRAMZ Remix) - Pictureplane The remixers describe their sound as "mystical time travel rave through the multiverse." I think laser light beams make this track 3-D, an infinite number of times over.

Post Physical (Fire For Effect's Post Grave Remix) - Pictureplane Chicago-bred co-architect of seapunk  elaborates on the original, preys on its details, slows it down 'til it's so new-age, its physicality goes from post to meta. Also check the more frenetic Little Star Dweller Remix.


These 2 are just the tits:
Big Mouth - Santigold Take Santi's newest single, produced by Major Lazer's Switch & Lisbon's Buraka Som Sistema, hence why it shares some lyrics with "We Stay Up All Night." Jungle pop, bass, and electronic machinations scheme together sans friction to make you open your big mouth. Check the half-animated music video.


I Fink U Freeky - Die Antwoord  This one's for all the sexy boys, fancy boys, playboys, and bad boys. Instructions: Climb up onto your very own Zef Throne, spring off the red velvet plushness, and -- boom-- plunge all the way nether. (If you detect innuendo in that, I fink u freeky, dude.)

SLEEP


Basic Space (Mount Kimbie Remix) - The xx We're all completely over The xx's first album, but this is worth the throwback. Mount Kimbie drags in white smoke, acid bubbles, and deliciously pervasive champagne foam to a seemingly-irreversibly stale track-- let's just call it aural defibrillation. 

wen uuu - Shlohmo Subtle in all the best ways, and soothing after all your best lays. Experimental never seemed so comforting. Plus- word has it, Nicolas Jaar is remixing this. 

The Ballad (Koreless Remix) - New Look Reminiscent of Strange and Unproductive Thinking, isn't it? Canadian synth pop remixed by a Glaswegian producer creates an intimate mood wherein you, your thoughts, your tryptophan binges, your DMT secretions, and all of Saturn's moon can revel in your much-earned comatose glory. 

And I Say ft. Scout LaRue and Will Epstein - Nicolas Jaar Weirdos like me will get overly affected by sexy, yet increasingly eerie vocals and minimalist sounds. Much like Chinese water torture, these vocals will drive you insane; they'll have you waiting for the imminent somethings that seem to never come, whether they be drops of water or unfulfilled lyrics: "And I say..." WHAT!? And you say what, lady!? She never does quite utter it. Can't wait to see Jaar at Coachella. (The track is also called "With Just One Glance.")


Forget (Shlohmo Remix) - Lianne La Havas Poetically negligible moody hooks intercalate the rising UK singer's original, finding their way between the nooks of the crystal lattice that is your central nervous system's synaptic layout. No guitar chords here, just hazy vocals and synths.


Stop Using Logic - Thrupence Sounds like a giant feather weaving between an endless array of chimes. This gem by a Melbourne, Australia-born-and-bred artist makes you forget your left brain and veers you toward the supernatural, the visceral-- the warmth of nothingness. Oh, if you're currently stoned (as you should be), check out the video

Lost in Tokyo - Koreless Punctuating a strange and tastefully unadorned crescendo with the beckoning chants of succubi, this potential lullaby leaves much to the imagination. If you fall asleep, you're doing it right.

SLEEP


A Real Hero (Follow Me Remix) - College feat Electric Youth So mellifluously refixed that it still reminds you of Drive-- of the sweet intertextuality between core-gore and honey soundscapes -- but sounds like a new track entirely. 'Cus it is. Follow Me is the real hero here.

Hit The Ground (King Krule Remix) - The Big Pink This isn't the Big Pink furnishing South Beach's best bacon cheeseburger at 5 AM, but it's just as good. Don't know King Krule? Die. Listen to Bleak Blake. Now. 

In Your Nature (David Lynch Remix) - Zola Jesus Freaks will know this starts off like a hybrid of "So Glad" and "Noah's Ark" 18 seconds in, but that's just Crazy Clown- talk. The plus is that these vocals are debatably as sexy as those of Karen O(-face) in "Pinky's Dream."

Drugged Out Quest - Ssaliva Hazy alt. trip-hop from Belgium, to me, to you. Perfect for lethargic inertness. Cloudy with a chance of roofie, if you know what I mean.  IT WILL PUT YOU IN A TRANCE.

luv,
amadZ

SLEEP


Move the Stars - Blood Diamonds A dreamy new track by Vancouver producer Blood Diamonds, realeased on BD's latest album, Transparent. The vocals are as cute as it gets. 

Hornet's Nest - Jonti Might be a little too hyper but if you're chroming it's good. From Jonti's newest album, Twirligig. He's Australian, he's young, and he's worked with Santigold and Mark Ronson. Download it HERE.

Romantic Streams (Damu Remix) - Sleep Over I'm pretty sure this song marks SFP bringing you every existent remix of "Romantic Streams." And now, a beat-heavy refix by Manchester producer Damu.

American Daydream - Electric Guest A chorus-driven delicacy crafted by a Los Angeles duo signed to Downtown Records. They rocked CMJ in New York City last month, so there's that. 

Cough Syrup (Ra Ra Riot Remix) - Young the Giant "I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing it all." This is so 80s, enjoy it betch.

Swim (Oh No Shlohmo remix) - Oh No Ono Well it's Shlohmo so there ya go. Plus the vocals are delicious, and the chimes-- fantastical. 

Just Us - Shlohmo From his latest album, Bad Vibes. Dreamy-ass vocals that might as well be lacing Balam Acab tracks. Whatever.

It Was Whatever - Shlohmo Also from Bad Vibes. Makes me feel like I'm walking along a river in Japan under one of those crazy trees with pink flowers. 

xx,
amadZ and Mayela H.

SLEEP

"When I die, bury me in smoke." -B.H.
Life On The Nickel (Mansions On The Moon Remix) - Foster the People Honestly as a band they're really not that cool but the music's alright and I'm sure you guys like 'em so fuck all y'all...If anything I'm doing this to show that they're not exxxactly a one-trick-pony kinda thing (though they kinda are).


A Real Hero - College feat. Electric Youth I hope you have this already because it's from Drive and we all (even the guys) have sex with Ryan Gosling two or three times on average, per day, per capita, every day-- in our minds. (I like to pretend when I'm a bored, desensitized zombie on the subway (notably, the L-train), but that's besides the point.)

Paradise Circus - Massive Attack vs Burial Super mega, super next level dismal UK shit laced with sexy female vocals to lull you into the most wet dreams. Think of her as an aural succubus you needn't work hard to imagine (the soundscape does it for you).


An Iceberg Hurled Northward Through Clouds (Peaking Lights Vocal Remix) - Gold Panda Total dream music Fader found "psychedelically loopy" and accompanied by "tiny hands clapping." It's exactly that, plus you'll feel like the chick in the picture.


5th Ave - Gold Panda He's British and awesome and better than you, so here's more from Gold Panda. Reminds me a bit of Tycho.


Batteries May Drain - Steve Hauschildt As per a press release, the title of the album this track comes from, Tragedy & Geometry (out Nov. 14), refers to "Melpomene (Muse of Tragedy) & Polyhymnia (Muse of Geometry), or more specifically the collision/overlap of what they invoke." And I know you were all dying to know that! 


Suave - Behind These Eyes One of my homies composed this. It's like chill classy-ass jazz (what my group of friends can only describe as "black as hell shit") you can relax to, but then all of a sudden, there's this insidious reverberating inkling of some primordial dubstep sound that seems to have seeped through all the acoustic improvisation.

This is brilliant so please pay for it, fucker? The assortment is by LA cassette label MJMJ (Two Michael Jordans) so BUY ALL 17 TRACKS BY A MILLION DIFFERENT ARTISTS HERE (or just toke up and listen).

SLEEP

Mondays suck, so pop an Ambien and sleep it off with us.
Video Games (BALAM ACAB Remix) - Lana Del Rey Sleep.Fuck.Party  loves Balam Acab more than life itself, as we do Lana Del Rey. So for the two to coexist on one aural plane? Surreal. You're very welcome and I know you fucking love us.

Palace Chalice - Mux Mool This sounds just like Gold Panda, like his track MPB (click now) to be precise. It's too dope to be describe with words. The dude started in Brooklyn. His new name's etymology? Mux is short for 'multiplexing' (streaming varied data through a single channel), and Mool comes from "Chac-Mool," an ancient Meso-American statue of a reclining man. Phewf. That was for the nerds.

Seriously - Shlohmo I spend a large part of my life whispering "fuck yeah, Shlohmo" to myself. While that isn't remotely true, I wish it were and you just believe it. It's got his signature eclectic experimental hip-hop sound you've come to love. We force-feed you the dopeness until it's sweet, and it always is.

Elegy - Tycho Ambient, electro, downtempo: those are the genres Tycho has mastered while you sit on your ass popping the Ambien we just told you to take. Oops? Oops. Anyhow, Ghostly International's San Francisco-Based man has managed to convey his purity of spirit yet again in "Elegy." 

There (Stumbleine Remix) - Sun Glitters Next-level chillwave that sounds like a more girly Balam Acab. Nice piano riffs, far-off female vocals, and pure, grade-A haziness with a touch of R&B reworking. Nod your head in slow motion to this 'til you pass the fuck out!

xx,
amadZ!

SLEEP


Feel It All Around - Washed Out We've posted Amor Fati and Eyes Be Closed before, and now, a third track by Washed Out. American chill wave for the rest of us. Ca-ching!


Weekend - Class Actress Some of the best Brooklyn synth pop infused with the Actress' delicious vocals. Shit's seductive and snooze-inducing all at the same time. Bring it on the weekend.


Romantic Streams (Balam Acab Remix) - SLEEP ∞ OVER A loose tune for loose people. Very dreamy and hazy. Every time Balam Acab releases something new, my ass does a little dance behind my back. Literally. 

Midnight City (Trentemøller Remix) Remix) - M83 Part of an EP M83 will have released by the end of the month, comprised entirely of Midnight City remixes. Begins quite amazingly with reverberating guitar chords. Almost too much quality to handle. This one's pretty sinister-- and that's how I like it.

Fire Dream - Patten Drunken drums and inaudible vocals. Terrible sound quality, yet it gets five-thousand and 58748354798 experimental rad points from me.  +++
