New Two Inch Punch - "Love You Up"

Poppin' fresh pulses from producer Ben Ash, who records blush-pop glitch-hop as +Two Inch Punch-.  "Love You Up" just dropped yesterday, while "Breaking Hearts" is a few weeks old.  Dude is seriously becoming a front-runner in my best hope/most anticipated artist of 2011 list.  Music so fresh and great is basically demands a record deal.  I'm thinking Ash needs a debut 12" like right now.  I'm talking to you, Ghostly International.

Forest Spirits

Forest Spirits is one Liam Fitzpatrick, a twenty-something college student from Auckland, New Zealand. If his glitchy, dubbed-out hip-hop beats belong to Los Angeles or London, his sampling skills are entirely his own, unique in style and yet universally appealing in their dream-like quality. With "Summer Sleep," we're being romanced by a French girl, bumping to an 808 beat even as we travel down Avenue Gustave Eiffel in a Peugeot 403 - a mash-up so misconstrued in time and place only deep R.E.M. sleep could reconcile it.  Likewise, even with "Storm Clouds" on the horizon, we're dreaming old-school Disney, our cartoon caricatures unconcerned as they twirl umbrellas and skip across a sun-swept field. Beautifully evocative, fantasy-filled, even romanticized beats. Dreamstep? I think so.
