Gem Drops Three’ is the latest installment of our flagship compilation series, and since we’ve evolved considerably as a crew, it’s only natural that our celebrated collection takes on a new form as well. The Gem Drops series began as a way for us to do two things: connect with artists we love, and then draw lines between each other until we’d encircled everybody enough for our listeners to get the picture. Curated by label founder Aaron Meola, each volume was a snapshot of that time and place for us as musicians and as friends. The reach of those first two editions opened our eyes to the power of our community and the artists we care about.
We’re now excited to bring Gem Drops to an even wider audience, especially because we are able to offer our release on vinyl for the first time, a dream realized thanks to our new partnership with Seattle’s Fin Records. For this installment we’ve narrowed the focus a bit, selecting just six tracks from the nearest and dearest within DG, most of who are slated to release material for us down the line. These tracks showcase the diversity of styles we’ve become known for, taking the temperature of a crew headed for many new things in 2013. For this particular release we’re covering the following genres: gritty forest beat, maximalist shuttle launch, underground lake narrative, late-night loner keyboard, futuristic hip hop, and emo-juke.
12″ 45rpm purple vinyl pre-order here, shipping early May.
Track list:
1. DJAO – One
2. Ghost Feet – Voka
3. Citymouth – How2hoodryte (Feat. Bone Rock)
4. Philip Grass – Onit
5. M. Constant – PerkyPat
6. Wires for Salu – Overture
DJAO premiere via Dummy
Ghost Feet premiere via Noisey
Philip Grass premiere via Earmilk
M. Constant premiere via Live For The Funk
Wires for Salu premiere via XLR8R
Gem Drops Three is available digitally now from all retailers and via our Bandcamp.

Who better to set off 2013 than Natasha Kmeto? The futuristic soul producer’s take on bass heats up with “Dirty Mind Melt,” an all-ace 4 track EP seated squarely at the intersection of dance, soul, and experimental electronic music. Think old hotel rooms, neon lights, romantic obsessions, car chases, basement clubs, and a sky filled with commuter hovercraft, all in the course of a single evening. Dedicated fans already know the extent to which these tracks power Natasha’s electrifying live show, and we’re happy to finally present them to the world at large. You can grab the release from our Bandcamp, where you’ll also find t-shirts and tanks featuring the EP cover art, designed by the much-admired LA-based artist Miko Revereza.
Tracklist:
1. Pleasure Delay
2. Dirty Mind Melt
3. Contranym
4. He Loves Me, She Loves Me Not
Dirty Mind Melt will be available 2/19/13 from all digital retailers and our via Bandcamp.
