Lucky for you, the first Scissorkast in too long is an all-music/no-talking affair. (I need an XLR adapter for my microphone). 100%  new music, much of it unreleased, hitting the usual mix of instrumental electronic, emotive headphone post-rock, experimental dancefloor stuff and the like. Joyously looping, meticulously crafted sounds. Stuff from the US, UK, and Japan this time with a heavy emphasis on melody. No reason to go on at length, but please leave comments if you enjoyed the mix and make sure to send it to friends who you think will enjoy it. Most importantly, support the artists below by buying their music. I stress that if you...

…And just in time for the upcoming NYC heat wave, it’s a new installment of the ScissorMix series designed to make you get up and move! I wanted to get this out in time for The 4th of July but there’s a new tiny person in my life and, as a result, some of my priorities have been shifted. And it turns out that messing around with a mixtape is not considered an essential fatherly duty. But better late than never, right?

Here’s a new installment of the Scissormix series out just in time for the holidays. This mix lives solidly in the realm of downtempo. So it’s perfect to throw on after a long day of shopping/family/work and whatever other stresses come your way this holiday season. A pretty decent...

Did this mix over the Summer for our amazing developers at Substantial and realized I never posted it here on Scissorkick. Sure, they are great developers, but what’s more impressive is the collective musical knowledge in their office. I wanted to dig deep with a mix of old and new. The...

“I enjoy a good space jam while sorting through the Disney VHS collection,” reads the myspace bio. Levek—also known as David Levesque—enjoys a strange existence indeed. But the key word there is ”enjoy.” By day, David drives a bus of elementary schoolers. By night,...

Right back again with another installment of the ScissorMix series. I’ve been making up for lost time and came across a wealth of new, great tunes so quickly that this thing basically put itself together.

“Skwee” is one of those little bitty “genres” that keep popping up nowadays. I hate to say genre, because a lot of them are more like trends than anything else, and I don’t exclude skweee from that group. Maybe it’s just a personal thing—I don’t like...

Souleance, Bullion, Rare Earth, Games, Kelpe and more.

Walker throws up a mix with Midnight Lab Band, Jatoma, Captain Planet, Jason Forrest and more.
