° Another – “Since June” °

by Danger

Way back in December spring seemed as if it would never come, and yet here were are in February, and it’s just around the corner. This album by Another is here to usher in the season. I had his track “Helicopter” on repeat a few months back, and foolishly never told you guys about it. The whole release is filled with delicate indie-pop that at times borders on chillwave, while still managing to incorporate some serious beats. Some tracks definitely are more successful than others, but I certainly appreciate the fusion of sounds. You can get the entire album for free here.

° Avalon Emerson – “Warm Up Love” °

by Danger

San Francisco’s Avalon Emerson sent over her new track “Warm Up Love” and I am obsessed. It’s a pretty minimal house-y track, with just enough to keep me pressing repeat. I don’t usually go for this stuff outside of the club, but on this gloomy DC afternoon the claps are hitting just right. She’s only got three tracks on her soundcloud, so I am definitely looking forward to hearing more.

° Lapalux – When You’re Gone °

by Crimson

Computer-based production can make it difficult to create music that sounds truly alive. While a producer gains impeccable precision and the ability to compose with a multitude of sounds at the whim of a keystroke, he or she can easily lose the warmth and organic architecture that often comes naturally through live instrumentation. On his new EP release, When You’re Gone (which is available now through Brainfeeder), Lapalux unwinds this inevitable tension through a magnificent set of emotive, beat-driven, sonic environments. With a banner reading “THE ELECTRO/ORGANIC SOUND CONTINUUM” across his website’s homepage, Lapalux seems to land at various points on that continuum at once and to great effect. His fluid transition between each of the 7 pristine, down tempo atmospheres on the EP showcases some of electronic music’s finest living, breathing work. Get it here.

Dipped in Dollars (D.I.D.) is the brainchild of Chief and Danger. While attending a crazy liberal arts college in Vermont, we realized our mutual love of righteous dance music, art, and the people behind them. D.I.D. exists to share this love with you and hopefully turn you on to something new.

This site exists to promote artists, if you hear something you like, think about throwing the artist(s) a few dollars, buy an album, go to a concert, show them you care. If any artists or official people want us to take any of our links down, just shoot us an email and we'll take care of it.

If you wish to contact the team, send mail to did@dippedindollars.com or for individual addresses, check here. (But please not both, duplicates are a drag)
