Coldcut & Hexstatic - Timber
Daedalus - LA Nocturne
Diplo - Summer's Gonna Hurt You (Diplo 2010 Remix)
Emika - Double Edge
Quincy & Zen Cuts Allstars - I Hear The Drummer (Tunng Edit): Each time it gets bigger and better. Ninja Tune XX was released as a deluxe 6 CD box set. It's like unwrapping the bestest xmas present ever. I grew up on the first Ninja Tune sampler Funkjazztical Tricknology, and oh how far they've come!
Here are some of my faves from the massive collection. Timber is one of my favourite ninja cuts ever, and I love the rework. Same with Summer's Gonna Hurt You. Before Diplo went all dirty club, he did a few soulful downtempo cuts, and this was the bestest. The Emika cut is awesomely deep, but we all know I just love it because it samples Metroid.
And of course the mega mix I Hear The Drummer, which sums up all of the label's brilliant karma and meshes it all together in Reader's Digest fashion. As a music fan, you should be able to ID at least 60% of the songs within. If you can't, get digging through the Ninja Tunes crates.
2.3 Children - Drunk In The Afternoon: Uhhh yeah I just figured everyone neeeded to hear this.
DID - Another Pusher (These New Puritans Remix): The first of two tastes of These New Puritans. This one feels all slimey and gross and belching, but oddly irresistible.
Dirty Projectors - Ascending Melody: Another great cut from the Expanded Edition of Bitte Orca, the 2009 classic.
Feist - Limit To Your Love (Live): From the CD of the DVD document, "Look At What The Light Did Now".
jj - New Work
jj - Still: From their new Kills mixtape, some of their funnest stuff since their No. 2 album. Who can resist dreamwave vox over a Dre beat?
Lykke Li - Get Some (Beck Remix): So excited for new Lykke Li this year! This track just killlllls it. Mike D also did a remix that's out there. It's like Jon Spencer's Orange days all over again! hell yeah.
Mogwai - Letters To The Metro
Mogwai - Rano Pano: New Mogwai! The album is "Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will" and it's fresh for 2011. Fans of the band will love it. Fans of GY!BE will finally be able to cross over. Fabulous instrumental musics.
Of Montreal - Famine Affair (Leonidas & Hobbes's Aftermath Remix): Really unassuming, but this is a totally great plodder of a remix.
Sleigh Bells - Run The Heart (RUN With DRUGS) (Ensemble Economique REMIX): Slowed down and mellowed out really works for Sleigh Bells. They should totally have a dub remix album. RELEASE THE STEMS!
The Rural Alberta Advantage - Stamp: Rollicking pop off the brand new album Departing.
These New Puritans - Attack Music: Filthy stomping goodness! Eeeee love the dark reeds.
Toro Y Moi - Low Shoulder: And we'll close on something a bit more bubbley and happy! From the new album "Causers Of This".
