MIXTAPE: Study Tunez

April 7, 2012

5

The idea for this mixtape came after SC reader Houghty commented on our post on youthful bedroom producer Japanese Wallpaper, asking for similar tunes he could play while studying, and I just finished another round of the seemingly unending onslaught of exams that defines my existence, so I’d say now is as good a time as any […]

Japanese Wallpaper – ‘War Peace Rocket Ships’

March 11, 2012

6

 Japanese Wallpaper‘s War Peace Rocket Ships is definitely one of the more intriguing submissions we’ve gotten here at Sunny Cellars, produced by a 14-year old Australian kid “in various beds across three continents in the first half of 2011”. The results, in the form of three odd ambient pieces, are surprisingly enjoyable, particularly ‘War’, a sparse, […]

Walls – ‘Into Our Midst’ (Single)

January 21, 2012

I’ve got exams coming up next week so, unfortunately, I’ve had a fair bit of studying to do. My learning process is rarely helped by a bunch of noisy dudes shouting over distorted guitars and such, so instead I’ve turned to UK-based ambient duo Walls to soundtrack the lame amount of work I have. How convenient it is, […]

Hectic Zeniths – ‘Hectic Zeniths’

January 16, 2012

Today I present to you another submission whose posting is long overdue.  Hectic Zeniths is an ambient, instrumental Hip-Hop project by bedroom producer Adam Morgan Prince.  The album is a haunting collection of piano compositions, altered brilliantly with layered synths, live instruments and meticulously placed samples.  Let me tell you, the combination is magical.  Reminds […]

Airliner – ‘None’

November 8, 2011

So I don’t think I’ve told the internet this yet, but I have exams coming up in the next week and a bit.  With the little amount of study I do, I need it to be effective, and as much as I love the music I listen to I can’t work to it.  As a result of […]

Mount Kimbie – ‘Crooks & Lovers’

September 25, 2011

Saw these guys live at Black Rabbit festival a week or two back, and it was amazing.  Unfortunately, I had to skip out early so I could take the metro home, but I think I saw the majority, and it was truly excellent.  Very underappreciated here in Shanghai (the majority of the festival attendants were […]

MIXTAPE: Rick Smith

August 26, 2011

1

As if drumming in sludge-pop masterminds Torche (one of my favourite bands) and grindcore bros Shitstorm isn’t enough, Rick Smith also has an awesome taste in music. We asked him to tell us a little about ten songs he’s really into right now, and he was more than happy to oblige. To top it all […]

Westering – ‘Help a Body’

July 21, 2011

I recently got my first job, not entirely of my own will. I do unskilled, menial grunt work from 9 to 5 and, rather than be grateful for the above-average pay and the ridiculously relaxed vibe at work, I’ve decided to feel depressed and complain about how my soul and spirit are being stifled by […]
