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.
