Yes, we have a massive backlog to sift through, so you get another dose of sweetness this week.
1,2,3 - Work: It's a barrock sound, but a barrock sound with just enough hooks and slick.
Araabmuzik - Streetz Tonight: I am kind of shocked how loved Electronic Dream was! I think it's great, just not best-of material. But what do I know. Here's some of the ravey hotness.
Beastie Boys - So Whatcha Want (Cheapshot Remix): The Beasties have always kind of annoyed me because of their stinginess in releasing instrumentals. WTF is up with that? Don't want anyone using your sampled riffs? ANYWAYS, the gap is lessened by the plethora of dope remixes. Like this one, digging in that 90s vault.
Big Tree - Seattle Bound
Big Tree - The Concurrence of All Things: From the new album This New Year comes a rock/twee/folk convergence of grinnitude levels.
Demdike Stare - Violetta: The "Elemental - Parts 1 & 2: Crysanthe" is one of my favourite Demdike Stare releases because it feels expansive without being at all exhausting. I love heavily textured and abstracted electronic music albums. This one falls more towards the fence of post-raver-flameout than total-Mego-ness, and so ends up surprisingly approachable. Recommended!
Enduser & Architect - Decision (Late)
Enduser & Karsten Pflum - A Little While: Enduser's been doing the mutant D&B thing for years and has really put best feet forward with Even Weight. Amazing production values, intruiging guests, lots of variation and great moods. If you wished 90s Amon Tobin continued more with the mainstream D&B threads (without the blandness normally associated with a typical D&B record...), this record is for you.
Gigamesh - So Intense (Fare Soldi Enrico Pallazzo Remix): Nu-disco is jiving all over the world. JAZZ HANDS!
Jacaszek - Dare-Gale
Jacaszek - Evening Strains To Be Time's Vast: Glimmer is mesmerizing and fabulous. Had I heard it in 2011, it would have been on my best of lists. Highly recommended.
Jen Titus - O'Death: I first heard this song in the (amazing) doc Harlem County USA. And it's respectabley reprised here.
Parenthetical Girls - Don't Give Up: Fabulous little track from Demos for the Dreaming.
The Weeknd - Dirty Diana (Michael Jackson cover)
The Weeknd - Initiation: THIS WAS MEANT TO HAPPEN. I can't think of a better take on MJ. And while I still find much of the Weeknd output too douchey for my ears, these 2 tracks are golden.
xxxy - Ordinary Things: Just some sweet little groovebass.
Yelawolf - Hard White (Up In The Club) ft Lil' Jon: Can't help it, just love that beat...
Zed Bias - Neighbourhood 09 ft McRumpus and Nicky Prince (Roska Remix): And finish it off with some more groovebass goodness. Shmexxy.
