"TEXAS is Exponential Record's SXSW Label Sampler which features over 17 tracks from various Texas based producers. The album is a window into the bubbling electronic scene in Texas and covers the gamut of electronic sounds from Dubstep to Electro to Downtempo. The album is a completely free download."
Bubbling electronics you say? I'm so there! Amongst others, one to check out would be Day of the Woman - a new project for Houston's Yppah (Joe Corrales) from the Ninja Tunes label teaming up with Pollination (aka Low Scores aka Nick Noeding from Albuquerque, NM) and Stenographer (Dave Salinas, also of Houston, TX). The group keeps a lot of the shoegaze and melodic aesthetic of Yppah but with a great "live band" vibe. Niiiice. Can't wait also for Yppah's new album "They Know What Ghost Know" to drop in May on Ninja Tunes. His first record was so sweet, I'm sure this'll be too (the word is that it is also meant to have more of a band-vibe to it).
Plus, I was pleasantly by the surprised the appearance of one Ma Bell on the comp in two tracks - guesting on Rae Davis' track, plus his own composition. Ma Bell is otherwise known as Mike Bell, from the Lymbyc Systym, as well as drummer to the stars (most recently Crystal Castles and Her Space Holiday, but these days hitting the skins for Balmorhea).
