Thought I wasn't come back, no? Oh, you couldn't keep me away!
Beans - Mellow You Out ft Tunde Adebimpe: Funky new Beans, and it's probably his most approachable venture yet!
Breathe Owl Breathe - Dogwalkers Of The New Age: From the new album "Magic Central".
Das Racist - Ek Shaneesh
Das Racist - Rainbow in the Dark
Das Racist - You Oughta Know: I had forgotten to pass some love to Das Racist's first mixtape of 2010, so here are some hot hot hot tracks from "Shut Up, Dude". Just dope dope dope.
Dom - Living In America (Remix ft Gucci Mane): ZOMG! Dream wave chillout witch business gets a total hiphop groove and Guccccccciiiiii slides in on top. The future is awesome. Wish you were here.
Early to Bed - Weathervane: Brand new single be distributed, some adorable dreamy pop here.
Henrik Schwarz - Once Again (Kuniyuki Takahashi Version): I've been on a huge Schwarz kick in the past month, and this is far and away one of my favourites. Groovey piano samples, soulful house vocals that don't make me want to stab my eyes out, and a solid deep groove that is just delicious.
Hold Tight! - Virginia Is Beautiful, Wish You Were Here: I don't listen to lots of punk, but every once in a while I find something that captures my childhood and synthesizes my favourite bits of NOFX and Fugazi and puts it in to a 90 second package. From the new album Can't Take This Away.
Jacques Greene - The Look (Koreless Remix): Smooth clicky Mount Kimbe-esque dubstep grooves! A little more stripped down that MK, but should slot itself perfectly in the mix.
James Blake - Measurements
James Blake - To Care (Like You): First, let me be the first to say it: Pitchfork is bullshit and James Blake wasn't the genius of 2010 everyone there claims him to be. He had a few good tracks, yes, but so did many equally great producers. That said, the new self titled album has a few revelations on it that deserve your attention. What's happening here is a maturation and development of an electronic artist not seen since Jamie Lidell in 2009. When the soul takes the forefront, genius rises to the top. Can't wait to hear these two tracks in the clubs.
Kid Sister - Right Hand Hi (Caspa Remix)
Kid Sister - Work Them: The new album Stoney Roads is perfect for your next dance party. It's even built up like a DJ mix and the energy never wavers. Get naked, get funky. Get this CD.
Laura Peek - Stay Sharp: Shades of Florence & The Machine, but with a few more handclaps for good measure. From the new LP "Key".
Lee Webster - Just About Bread: While a parody of deep house, also an amazing deep house track. It takes mad talent to both excel at and poke fun at the same thing, at the exact same time. Mad props.
Purity Ring - Ungirthed: It's like The Sundays were ressurected in to the age of mutant bass beat awesomeness. You, please go touch yourself while watching Gobble Gobble and Baths make out. Oooooo hot.
Ryan Hemsworth - Benny Lava: Solid overload breaks that rip some bollywood goodness and lay it out with just enough distortion. So good.
White Sea - Mountaineer: Off the 2010 "This Frontier EP", it reminds me of a more "indie rock" take on Bat For Lashes. In the best possible way.
Who Knew - Sharpen The Knife: From 2010's "Bits and pieces of a major spectacle", they totally remind me of Wolf Parade meets Walkmen, and are super duper satisfying.
Yellow Ostrich - Hold On
Yellow Ostrich - I'll Run: Their EP made my "best of 2010" list, and here is their full length "The Mistress"! It features the two hot tracks from the 7", Whale and Mary, and so much more. The sound is uber indie, maybe to the point of turning some people off, but really if you like the organic sounds of High Places and Animal Collective, but want a bit more of a Modest Mouse framework, this band is for you. Recommended!
