blog 2013/03/27 - oh god I'm sick make it end


A Tribe Called Quest - 1nce Again (Bit Funk Remix):  This almost works better as a jazzy house plodder, I swear.

Albert - Lucky ft Anna Lena:  The Gouldin-styled vocals work so well over the slick downtempo production.

BenZel - Fallin Love (Cashmere Cat Remix):  Love susnhinesparkle bass.

Donald Byrd - Wind Parade (King Most's Dub 'Em Down Redirection):  Oh yes please, more Byrd remix works!

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Fiya Wata:  Epic crooner shit going on right here, from the album Here.

Flume - Holdin On:  Grooving on the sickly syths and wonderful soul vox all over the place.

Isaac Tichauer - Doing What I Got:  Ever the sucker for slick jazzy house grooves.

Justin Timberlake - Pusher Love Girl:  JT IS BACK MOTHERFUCKERS!  After a shockingly decent foray in to film, JT learns from Kanye and Frank Ocean that pop gods can extend the groove and fuck 3 minute pop songs.

Lusine - Without A Plan:  From The Waiting Room, we all know I just love the IDM stalwarts coming back with the Stereolab synthpop wonders.

Pixelord - Solving:  Basspop getting sinister with the pitched-out synths.

Ponchos - Olympics:  Form the Pretty Beats EP, it's like if you took Y2K Boredoms psych enthusiam swells and tossed it down in to an ableton framework.

Port St. Willow - Tourist:  Brooding and developing, this track from Holiday rewards the patient with the pationate trills.

Sid Pattni - Got to Learn Sometimes (Ta-ku Remix)
Ta-ku - Brokeas:  Ladies and Gentlefolk, let me introduce you to hot new producer of the year, TA-KU.  Get on this shit ASAP.

The Joy Formidable - Cholla
The Joy Formidable - Silent Treatment:  New Joy Formidable this year!  I'm super excited to hear all of Wolf's Law.

Top Billin - Sleng Teng Moomba Break:  Classic Sleng Teng riddim gets a 2012 makeover by the rework masters Top Billin, perfect for pretty much any party-killing DJ set.

Tumbling Bones - Trouble Around My Soul:  This is for all the haters that said I didn't put enough gospel acapella on my blog!

Tyler, The Creator - Domo23:  From the 2013 album WOLF.

MP3 blog 2013/03/20

blog 2013/03/20 - nothing not this time


Aaliyah - Are You That Somebody (Paces Bootleg):  Paces works some magic again and the Aaliyah rides again.

Atoms for Peace - Default:  This track is pretty much everything I wanted Radiohead to get along to after Kid A.

Banabila & Machinefabriek - Slow Wave I:  Machinefabriek is an elemental force to be dealt with like the reliable winter storms or spring blossoms.  They have a fabulously deep catalogue, and this Banabila & Machinefabriek collaboration is an extremely accessible entry point in to it with succulent textures and drones and whirrs.  Highly recommended.

CHVRCHES - Recover:  These are basically the high water mark of pop music for 2013.  Everyone else, get in line.

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly (DJ Aditup edit):  I love the trend of releasing useful edits of the classics, and here is another good example, with some added samples and scratches on top.  You might recognize the bassline from Paul's Boutique, but always good to get back to the originals.

Daughter - Love (Zebra Safari Edit):  This song is fabulous and I even had to choose amongst a handful of wonderful remixes to include here.  Always a good sign.

Foreign Beggars - Kreps (MRK 1 Remix):  I mostly ignore grime, but holy hell this song has everything, and does it all oh so well.

Frank Ocean - Thinking About You (WMNSTUDIES Remix):  A simple little rework on one of the best single of 2012.

Pantha Du Prince & The Bell Laboratory - Spectral Split:  Elements Of Light is one of the best albums of 2013 so far, and here's an epic example of why you all need to pay attention.

Parenthetical Girls - Brimstone & Vaseline
Parenthetical Girls - Curtains:  The album Privilege has been coming out in bits and pieces over 1+ year now.  Part 5 is here and is another amazing contribution.  I've gone from liking the Parenthetical Girls to having them become essential.

Parliament - Chocolate City (Chuck Wild's Bronco Drama Mix):  One of my favourite Parliament tracks gets a funky little edit.  Totally essential.

Sasha Go Hard - Blow My Mind
Sasha Go Hard - Kill Bill ft Kreayshawn:  So much hardcore dirty female vocalists blowing up right now, it's pretty damn awesome.

Yumi & The Weather - Not Again (Ambassadeurs Remix):  Again, the Ambassadeurs give us some amazingness!

Left Boy - Sweet Dreams:  This shit is nutso all over the place.

Matmos - Teen Paranormal Romance:  Oh so delicious clickgasm from these masters of samplesourcing.  New album The Marriage of True Minds, watch for it!

My Bloody Valentine - New You
My Bloody Valentine - Who Sees You:  Now kids, gather around grandma and let me tell you a story about an ancient warrior named kevin shields…

Open Mike Eagle - Self Medication Chant:  Great little plod forward.

blog 2013/03/05 - I will follow follow follow and look up hopeful


Accoy - In The Tube (Trial)
Accoy - Sync To Me:  In the advent of the dubbed out rnb craze, I love how these track take things further to the dub scrub and I get lost in the blissed out echo.

Air Review - Low Wishes:  Oh hey, it's a new song by Ottawa powerhouse band The ACORN!  Wait, no?  Oh.  Well, they are certainly shaken from the same tree and would do a jolly good job covering an Acorn classic.  In the

Charli XCX - You (Ha Ha Ha):  Charli gets on the Gold Panda beat and oh goodness gives us the goods oh so good.

CocoRosie - Gravediggress:  From the new album Tales of a Grass Widow, let us all hope these gals can once again seduce me.

Colin Stetson - High Above A Grey Green Sea:  The warfare continues and its now gone mindgames.  Looking forward to the new album, New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light.

Hauschka - Radar (Michael Mayer Remix):  The glistening highlight from the Salon Des Amateurs Remix EP.

John Zorn - Kavanah
John Zorn - Persepolis:  Remember when I was gushing over the Gnostic Preludes?  Well stepp aside Gnosty, because The Concealed is now knocking my socks off.  Pants are next.

Junip - Line of Fire:  New album in 2013 from Jose Gonzalez!  Love the epic swelling.

Ke$ha - Die Young (Drag Disco Mix by Ad-ver-sary):  WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE SO MIGHT AS WELL DIE YOUNG

Kid The Wiz & Tweek Tune - Real Harlem Shake:  Kids need to recognize and get down with this real shit.

Kitty - Ay Shawty 3.0 ft Lakutis
Kitty - Dead Island
Kitty - Scout Finch Bitch ft Antwon:  OoooooK I feel the need to explain myself here.  3 Kitty tracks.  No wait, =kitty= tracks.  Need the whiskers.  Tumblr rap's first breakout star has a slacker seductiveness that echoes the naïve appeal of early Beck.  OK, she's no Beck, but if she releases an album of cutup and screwed 1960s girlpop over intoxicated poetry recordings, don't say I didn't warn you.

Mountains - Living Lens:  Shimmering purgatory from the new album Centralia.

Rodriguez - Hate Street Dialogue (Round Table Knights Searching For Sugar Man Edit):  Freshly rediscovered thanks to the award winning new documentary Finding Sugar Man.

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - City
Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - Holy Roller:  YESSSSSS NEW THAO!  New album is We the Common, get it now!
