Sepalcure's Braille Picks His Favorite Songs of 2011 -- Count Five

Megan Cullen

Having recently released two critically acclaimed EP's, New York/Berlin bass duo Praveen Sharma and Travis Stewart, also known individually as Braille and Machinedrum, and collectively known as Sepalcure, released their sublime eponymous debut LP on Nov. 22, via Hotflush, and Braille was kind enough to tells us about his top five tracks of the moment. Check here for a free Sepalcure MP3 download, and look out for their Live A/V show, which debuted in New York City earlier this fall.
'Tenement Yard Vol 2'
Altered Natives
"A far smoother blend of Altered Natives beats than usual. This album is classic London broken beat meets UK Funky meets Chicago House and the result is perhaps my album of the year."
Amazon
'What Works'
Fudge Fingas
"Fudge Fingas' album was one of the best, most understated House records released last year. This latest 12" on my new favorite label, Firecracker Recordings, adds a dirty layer of grit on top of his already perfectly loose production."
Amazon
'Monkeytown'
Modoselektor
"These guys really don't need any help in the hype department but I'll be honest, this is my favorite album they've done yet. More restrained than usual."
Amazon
'The Golden Age of Apocalypse'
Thundercat
"A stunningly melodic jazz and acid-infused trip through Thundercat's mind. I was really wary of this one at first, but it's grown on me in a huge way. Future classics."
Amazon
'Routes'
Joshua Idehen & LV
"I keep putting this on top whatever lists, and will continue to until it gets the love it deserves. One of my favorite albums from this past year. For fans of Kode 9's work with the Spaceape, and the dubbier side of step."
