By now you should know my love for Brainfeeder Records knows no bounds. Lapalux is no exception. Hailing from Essex, this young man is the most recent producer to be signed to Brainfeeder. Fittingly, he matches their sound including all the usual suspects: muted beats, spaced out percussion, nonsensical voices, ethereal noises, and in general, highly experimental. A good comparison would be Shlohmo, who I posted about a while back. Lapalux's Many Faces Out of Focus came out earlier this year, as well as a host of awesome remixes. My immediate worry after listening to some of his material was "Isn't this more of the same for Brainfeeder?" However, after listening to Faces a few times I realized Lapalux rounds out the label, incorporating similar styles, and I think falling somewhere in between Flylo and Tokimonsta. And now that he is signed, I can't wait to see how he develops his style with his first official releases.
On a non-Brainfeeder note, Mad Decent's dubstep duo, Zeds Dead recently released a preview to their new EP, Rumble in the Jungle, out October 4. It goes hard, sounding like some underground shit or something you would hear at the Sunday School Grove tent at Electric Zoo. They also infuse some drum n' bass vibes and collaborate with Jamaican MC Mavado on the EP.

And now for some of Lapalux's many remixes...
Tawiah Breakaway (Lapalux Remix)
Vadoinmessico Pepita Queen of the Animals (Lapalux Remix)
Why I someone hasn't thought of remixing this song before is beyond me (or maybe they have, but it sucked or I just didn't hear about it). So perfect for his style.
