Soma recording artist, Let’s Go Outside (aka Stephen Schieberl) has a new full length album that was released January 28th, titled “A Picnic with The Hunters”. This particular track has a nice mix of minimal electro, such as a booming kick drum, 808 hi-hats and vocals.

Soma Bio:

Stephen Schieberl has produced electronic music for over a decade, taking the mantra “Let’s Go Outside” as his moniker. Residing in Portland, Oregon where he first released on small local experimental label, Buried In Time, he soon moved onto Bradford-based Midnight Recordings before being picked up by Soma shortly afterwards.

His discography includes everything from nearly silent ambient to the most destructive of techno, and all which lies between. Let’s Go Outside’s performances borrow from this immense palette to create a form of techno that defies genre. His weird and filthy techno hits you like a rusty chainsaw in the face… in a good way.

Part ELO part Beach Boys meets Daft Punk drum loops and you get the latest creation from Sebastien Tellier. This track will be released on Sebastien’s third studio album called, “Sexuality”, due out late February. The album was produced by one-half of the Daft Punk duo (Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo).

Being a big fan of Sebastien and his left from center approach to lyrics as well as music styles, I’m surprised to find this track is very “cute”. That may sound trite, but the track is actually quite good. I mean this is the guy who instructed listeners of his first album (L’incroyable Vérité (The Incredible Truth) to only listen to the album by candle light. Then on his second album he discusses the relative merits of genocide versus ketchup. Funny stuff indeed! And maybe it’s just me, but I swear the beginning of this track sounds so much like Supergrass - We Are Free.

From the forth coming greatest hits album (due out February12th), we get two new tracks one if which is “That’s How People Grow Up” and the other being “All You Need Is Me”.  I personally haven’t really been taken by most of Morrissey’s solo efforts, but there have been the occasional standout tracks but collectively no where near the mark that the Smiths have left on my heart.

Miss Kittin is back with a new full length title, “BatBox”, which hits the streets March 4th, 2008. This track has some what of a dark rock-esque bassline that rumbles through-out but also has a nice gothic feel to it all. I can’t get enough of her humming backing vocals on this track. I think I’ve listened to non-stop for the last two hours… time flies…

Lovin’ the bass hook on this track.  ESG (Emerald Sapphire & Gold) was an all girl group from South Bronx, New York circa 1978 to 1990’s.  They mix Soul, Funk, Disco, and New Wave all into their own dance vibe, which would probably be labeled “Deep House” now-a-days.  This track was originally released in 1982 on ESG’s EP titled, “ESG Says Dance To The Beat of Moody”.
