We've got a four-day weekend to look forward to here in England, so we thought we should find an upbeat track to end the week on a high with. BEAKR haven't let us down before in this respect, and this remix of a song by Chicago three-piece The Welcome is no exception.
You can listen to BEAKR's other remixes here.

We've had a hot, busy day at the press preview of Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion which opens to the public tomorrow, so we were grateful to get back to the office and find this tranquil chill-out track by AB2G to wind down to.
The track was submitted by Curious Absurdities, an online music label run by General Reef, who we featured on Dezeen Music Project last week. Curious Absurdities have got loads of other great artists on their books, so make sure you check them out.

We like to mix things up on Dezeen Music Project, so after all the summery chill-out tracks we've been featuring recently, we thought it was time for something a bit different. This track by Olly Clucas is dark, driving and a little bit glitchy: not your typical lazy summer afternoon kind of track, but once the beat kicks in you won't care.

You don't need expensive, high-tech equipment to make a great track. Apartment:9732 and BambooClart made this lazy, hazy summer-time track using a broken Roland MIDI keyboard and a one of their little sisters' pink Daisy Rock guitars.

The sun is shining and the temperature keeps on rising here at Clerkenwell Design Week where we are rushing about trying to cover the festival as well as looking after our Dezeen Watch Store pop-up shop. We need a track to help us chill out, and this ambient soundscape by General Reef should do the trick.

Maybe it's because we're all partied out from the tokyobike store opening last night, but we're finishing off the week on Dezeen Music Project with a nice mellow track. This melodic soundscape is by Remote Scenes (aka Greig Penny), a graduate architect from Aberdeen.

This evening Dezeen Music Project will be heading off to the launch party for tokyobike's new store, where we'll be behind the decks providing all the tunes.
We'll be spinning an eclectic mix of some of our favourite music that's been submitted so far, including up-tempo party tracks, mellow grooves as well as darker, more ambient music like this great track by Chris Harvey.
All the details about the party can be found here.

When photographer Paul Raftery sent us his timelapse movie of The Shard yesterday, one of our very first reactions was how great the soundtrack was. So we thought we'd post it up in full here on Dezeen Music Project.
The track is by SuN (aka George McCleod), and we think it more than holds its own as a standalone track. But make sure you check out the movie it was composed for as well.

Here's another collaboration between UK producer Mykus and singer Fruit Shoes, although Carrots is a much mellower, more light-hearted offering compared to the dark and glitchy track that we featured on Dezeen Music Project a couple of months ago. Here we've got cute, catchy vocals and a refreshingly lo-fi, almost clunky bass-line that sets the tone for the track as a whole.

We finish the week on Dezeen Music Project with an instrumental track by Klaus Funk called Anthem (Idea). It’s just a demo at the moment, but it’s got a real intensity to it and we’re looking forward to seeing where the track ends up.

We thought it was time for a different vibe after all the dubby tracks we started the week with on Dezeen Music Project. This ambient track by Hungarian group Seeds in Helmet is dark and brooding, with haunting, whispered vocals and a delicate keyboard line that bubbles underneath.
MyDinamo is part of an album called LoveBox, which you can download for free here.

Having too many analogue synths to play with isn't conducive to a good night's sleep - that's what Shitwave discovered when making this track, aptly titled Sleeping Problems, which manages to be catchy as well as rhythmically experimental.
There's also a music video for the track that you can watch here.

If you're a fan of retro keyboard sounds, you'll love this track by Monster Bobby. A1 Autoroute du Nord is a driving, pulsing track with a definite nod to 1980s synth-pop. It also reminds us of some of the excellent 80s-inspired music on the soundtrack to last year's Nicolas Winding Refn movie, Drive.

This track by Jordan Mitchell starts off innocently enough, with an intricate repeating acoustic guitar riff. But that's before a big, dirty synth bass-line drops in and takes the track in a completely different direction.
