MP3 blog 2010/07/06

blog 2010/07/06 - closer, closer to the omega point...

First off:   WHO SENT ME "ABSOLUTE DEATH"?  A million thank yous to whomever sent me this lovely book in the mail.
There was no identifying information included, just a note that read "Thanks especially for Particle 1000 0001".
Well, to whomever you are, thank you for the book, and you are welcome for the mixes.

Secondly, I hope to get one more blog update out the door between now and then, but I might be taking some downtime for the rest of July.  Don't get scared!  Caitlyn will be back at some point in August.
Pinky swear.

Hell, there might even be a surprise for YOU ALL along the way.

Now, on to the mp3 blog...


AC Slater - Take You (Doorly Remix):  Total 21st century rave-a-thon!  Super classic hardcore business, reworked for the 20-years-later crowd.

Buraka Som Sistema - IC19 (Toy Selectah Remix):  This is the first time I've really heard BSS stretched out and chilld down.  This track just plods in and makes for a sweet summer groove, instead of the antagonistic bounce we're normally used to from BSS tracks.

DJ Earworm - Like OMG, Baby (Capital FM Summertime Ball Mashup):  Speaking of summertime, here's all the summer cheese rammed together.  All the nutrition of a chicken nugget in this one!

Janelle Monáe - Mushrooms & Roses
Janelle Monáe - Tightrope ft Big Boi:  There's shitloads of hype swirling around "The ArchAndroid", but the best parts are the most surprising.
I sear, Mushrooms & Roses could have equally come from a new Ween album.  I swears it!
And tightrope is jazzy funky fun.

Mount Kimbie - Adriatic
Mount Kimbie - Before I Move Off
Mount Kimbie - Mayor:  After a string of ridiculously strong EPs, the new album "Crooks & Lovers" is here and knocking socks off.
Spanning a world between IDM, dubstep and minimal, Mount Kimbie has some of the most satisfying abstract beats of the year.  Highly recommended.

Phoenix - Love Like A Sunset (Animal Collective Remix):  Of all the Phoenix songs, this one seems most appropriately attuned to that AC aesthetic, so the remix seems natural.

Sleigh Bells - Rill Rill:  So "Treats" is getting to be too awesome to resist.  So much over-loaded fun!

To Kill A Petty Bourgeoisie - The Needle:  Lovingly brooding!  From last year's LP "Marlone", this band wins for best-band-name-ever.

Treasure Fingers & Jocelyn Brown - What Am I Supposed To Do:  Awwww shiiiiiit, Treasure Fingers is BACK WITH THE GLORIOUS SLAMMING PUMPING HOUSE!

Wavves - Post Acid:  I have to say, I really really hated all Wavves.  Up until now.  I don't have the full length, "King Of The Beach", yet, but fuck thank you for letting the pop joy seep through.
Fuck, I am really hoping we're over the lo-fi bullshit.  LET THAT POP FLAG FLY!  Thank you, Sleigh Bells, for teaching the scruffy kids of 2009's worst fad how to do it right.

Wisp - Flat Rock
Wisp - Hexenringe
Wisp - Hidebehind:  "The Shimmering Hour" rocks a part of me that is seldom rocked, outside of the classic Warp and Rephlex catalouges.
Scattershot RDJ beats, de-tuned BOC synths, Paradinas-lifted chord progressions and Machine Drum breakbeat-love.
If you are a fan of the classic IDM sound, defintely get this album.

You Say Party! We Say Die! - Heart Of Gold
You Say Party! We Say Die! - Lonely's Lunch:  I had mostly ignored the album "XXXX" when it came out last year, but these singles caught my ear.
They are much mellower indie pop than I was lead to believe they'd be, but they fit in perfectly with some Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
