Futile Devices (Shigheto Remix) by Sufjan Stevens
Brooklyn based producer Shigeto's latest experiment is a step in an almost untouched direction- into The Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens. Shigeto’s remix of “Futile Devices” is almost a new song entirely. The original parts are chopped, cut, and pasted to almost twice the length of the original track.
His subtle additions really add to the song’s melody without overpowering it; keeping in focus that Shigeto doesn’t just remix other people’s music, he creates it himself. The synth textures bob and weave to fill out blank spaces and give the song a cloudy, lazy day, kind of feel... Will you look at that, perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon like today.

Rock The Boat (Shigeto Remix) by Aaliyah
Says Shigeto:
“I was super inspired from all the love in the air for Jay Dee’s Birthday today. Got me thinking about what an inspiration Detroit music is. Then got me thinking about other Detroit artists. Then got me thinking about Aaliyah, another amazing talent that we lost way to soon. So I made this. Inspired by Aaliyah, Jay Dee and Detroit.”
EP: Lineage by Shigeto
Zack Saginaw, whose middle name and producer alias is Shigeto, releases his Lineage Mini-LP today via Ghostly International. As the family tree title suggests, Lineage is a personal and reflective album—its front cover shows Saginaw’s great-grandfather’s house in Hiroshima and its back features a portrait of the same man taken while he was detained in the ’40s at the Amache Internment Camp in Grenada, Colorado. Often more spare and certainly less experimentally electronic than his previous works, Saginaw’s Lineage gestures back to his six years studying jazz in New York and London. On top of that jazz core, with its standup bass and heavenly electric piano throughout, go the digital flourishes, with glitches like jingling apartment keys, and gestures to deep relaxation hip-hop sounding at times like a somnambulist Dilla. While the internment camp artwork suggests Saginaw is unpacking some deep darkness, the album’s perfectly serene. In the best, motivational way, listening to Lineage lets you be super on-task doing something else, focused so you loop the album back two or three cycles through. For an intimate, half-hour “mini-LP,” that’s a great way to be. (via The FADER)
Huron River Drive by Shigeto
Float away with Shigeto‘s latest jam, “Huron River Drive”. A savory, delicate track that is brought together by the slightest hint of jazz keys. I mean, there are a slew of adjectives I could use in the description of this song, but the only real way I can do it justice is to just tell you to listen for yourself. Trust me, though, it is absolutely gorgeous. Lineage drops Jan. 31 via Ghostly International. (via Potholes In My Blog)
