A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Boys Turn Into Girls (Initiation Rites)
A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Golden Waves
A Sunny Day in Glasgow - MTLOV (Minor Keys):  Sea When Absent has some epic blissout and driving crescendo.  Get on the emotional rollercoaster.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

FKA Twigs - Papi Pacify
FKA Twigs - Water Me:  2 bits of sublime future sounds from the EP2.

I am David Laing - Marmalade:  Propelling folk from Please Don't Mind the Words.

Jennifer Lopez ft Iggy Azalea - Booty (Dom Corleone Remix):  Yes, all booty, no patooty.

Jessie Ware - Say You Love Me (Gorgon City Remix):  Jessie is always stunning but oh with this deep house wrapper, it's divine.

Lykke Li - Heart Of Steel
Lykke Li - Just Like A Dream
Lykke Li - No Rest For the Wicked (Remix ft A$AP Rocky):  The dance pop is toned down.  The album is I Never Learn.  And Lykke Li needs a big hug.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  Oh and hey here's a rework with A$AP on it for you!

Maker - Love It (prt 1 & 2):  Breakbeat CDs are often just way tooooo muuuuuch.   So many breaks.  Shooting the Breeze was like that too, but I had to just pull this nugget out.

Pharmakon - Bestial Burden:  While def not for everyone, I'm def recommending Bestial Burden for it's cathartic drama.

blog 2014/11/25 - .

no more:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20141125.zip


Beyonce - Partition (starRo Remix):  boom boom bae boom!

Death Blues - Unseen:  I want to go in toa  dark tunnel and drink strange whiskeys while the dark mirth of Death Blues fills the air with opium and passion.

Deft Aphid - Password Protected ft Coin Locker Kid, Rob Swift:  First instinct is the celebration that Rob Swift is still kicking it. 

Ex Hex - How You Got That Girl:  Haven't heard the new album Rips yet, but I love the straight forward singalong pop here.

Fool's Gold - I'm In Love (Poolside Remix):  If you see the words "Pool Side" on a track, just imagine it's a timewarp to 1983 and go get funky with yourself.

Gallant - Manhattan:  Smooth silk core.

Interpol - Everything Is Wrong:  Oh hey, new Interpol, from El Pintor!

Miike Snow - Paddling Out (Lowflows Remix):  Super pop Miike Snow remix time!

Mugsy! - Simple:  This is breakbeat 101 dope science class.  Take notes.

Run The Jewels - Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck) ft Zack De La Rocha
Run The Jewels - Lie Cheat Steal:  There are a number of albums that I have to start out immediately with a disclaimer.  Kanye was like this too:  There's just a lot of fucked up stuff in the lyrics that I wish I could slap them over.  But ugggh, what is with this odd position where we're totally cool with an intense amount of bullshit said in hiphop?   But yeah, despite the stupid shit, this is undeniably hot hot hot shit.  RUN THE JEWELS 2 waaaaaaaaaaaaa good.  AND THEY GOT ZACK ON IT!

Sharon Van Etten - Our Love:  Another great song from Are We There, which is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Swans - She Loves Us:  HOLY SHIT THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING.  To Be Kind.  Get it.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Troyka - Clint:  There is a spiritual hole in my heart filled in by this bliss.

blog 2014/11/10 - what is better than to…

No really, he makes elephant noises:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20141110.zip


AbJo - However (You Want) v.3:  Stripped down cheese classic gets the slowmo workout.

Alex Wiley - Vibration (Honest Remix):  Ahhh OMG getting that Chance The Rapper bits in there elevates this to perfection.

Aria Perez - Seduce Me:  Oooo I love the density of the production on this one, super brazen.

Chairlift - Ghost Tonight:  This is a super sexy track from the 2012 album Something

Chubby Fingers - You Belong:  More slick reworkings of the classic cheese.  Full cheese ahead!

Hoodie Allen - Nolan Ryan:  Hooooly shit this is hot hot hot!  AND HE MAKES ELEPHANT SOUNDS.

Hopium - Dreamers ft Phoebe Lou (Jamie Kuse Remix):  Blissed pop goodness all over this one.

Ice Cube - Drop Girl ft Redfoo & 2 Chainz (UZ Remix):  Daaaang UZ does the trap ish right.

Indian - Rhetoric of No
Indian - The Impetus Bleeds:  OK OK so sometimes I end up queueing up some death metal.  These two are from the newly extra dense From All Purity.

KOOL A.D. - Hickory ft Talib Kweli and Boots Riley:  New KOOL!  From WORD O.K., this is my favourite track in a long time.  This is Saturday smiles all around.

SBTRKT - New Dorp. New York ft Ezra Koenig:  Oh Ezra, we can't flip through any crates and not find you tucked in there somewhere.  What you doing down there, getting all funky and groovey?

Ta-ku - Knightime:  Once again:  pretty much every beat Ta-ku is on is hot.  Never sleep again.  OK OK, just get all the Ta-Ku stuff.  Then sleep.  Sleep is awesome.  But so is Ta-ku.

Faust - Herbststimmung:  Psych jam!!!!! From Something dirty

HSVN - Supreme ft Jarell Perry

Kembe X - Poker Face:  smoked out so smooth.

King Green - Nothing:  Ugggh that beat is so killer and he's got flow for days.  Amazing.

Enough of the whiny pissbabies:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20141015.zip


1 Giant Leap - Dunya Salam ft Baaba Maal:  So the whole 1GL thing is kind of a total cheeseball powerhouse thing from 2001, but I really love this one track.

Aaron Martin - Comfort Of Shadow:  Tense and lush, from Day Has Ended.

Angel Olsen - Hi-Five:  Another great song from the fabulous new album Burn Your Fire For No Witness.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Chet Faker - 1998:  Sweet bouncy pop, this is some sunglasses-at-night ish.

Clean Bandit - Rather Be ft Jess Glynne (The Magician Remix):  The Magician is a … wizard? … at pop.  First time I've heard him flip a garage beat like this and it's lovely.

Cosmo Baker & Grandtheft - Find a Way ft Jeanette Lady Day:  Funky smooth vocal house, oh yes!

James Blake - Overgrown
James Blake - Take A Fall For Me:  I didn't talk about it much last year, but now that I listen more I really really really am digging Overgrown.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Majid Bekkas - Sahara Blues:  Oh god yes yes, this is the sex.

Perfume Genius - Fool
Perfume Genius - Grid:  A stunner.  As impactful as a more shy and reserved Antony.  A near perfect album, Too Bright is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Poliça - I See My Mother:  Defined quite a bit by the vocal processing, this is some seriously cool pop that reminds me of Bill Laswell productions from the 90s.

Ryan Hemsworth - Gods:  Awww Hemmi goes trap!

S - Vampires:  WHHHYYYY???? There is an arms race for the most ungoogleable name, and we have a new world power.  But still, great song.

Sophie - Lemonade:  Click snap booty clap.

Stylo G - Badd ft Sister Nancy:  There is a unstated rule that I have to post at least 10 Sister Nancy remixes every year.

We Are The Brave - Sparrow (Attari! Remix):  Close it all down with some nightlife cool ish.

What an odd comment to make:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140918.zip

unknown artist - Bayaya (Axel Boman Re-Rub):  Amazing deep little working.

MP3 blog 2014/08/28

blog 2014/08/28 - edging on the details

Almost the peak:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140828.zip


A Shoreline Dream - The Heart Never Recovered:  Float on the janglepop express on the new album The Silent Sunrise.

A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Crushin':  This new one from Sea When Absent is all subtle ecstatic waves.

Beth Orton - Bamboo (River Come Down):  Another track from that quirky Son of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys comp.

Datassette vs Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill:  Was passed this from a friend, and I really think we all needed this in our lives.

Death Cab For Cutie - Amputations
Death Cab For Cutie - Bend To Squares
Death Cab For Cutie - Your Bruise:  So yeah I am continuing with my dive in to the Death Cab catalogue, so here are some highlights from Something About Airplanes.

Dinosaur Jr. - Now The Fall
Dinosaur Jr. - Ricochet:  Dinosaur Jr are such an incredible institution that got even better as they got older.  These 2 great tracks come from a 7" single, and are both winners.

Merdarahta - Dusk:  Saw this band live and holy shit they were amazing.  A perfect blend of dark metal and drone.  This recording here doesn't quite capture it all, but I can't recommend them enough.

Quasimoto - Greenery (instrumental)
Quasimoto - Life Is... (instrumental)
Quasimoto - Players of the Game (instrumental):  The thing with Quas is that…. Yeah OK you know what the thing is.  That's why Further Instrumentals is such a great ride sometimes.

Speedy Ortiz - Bigger Party:  So who'd have thought the Adult Swim singles program could be so good?

Tim Hecker - Amps, Drugs, Mellotron:  Oh yes, it's that good.  Shocked face.

Warpaint - Billie Holiday:  A lovely little cover tribute.

White Lung - Down It Goes
White Lung - Drown With The Monster
White Lung - Lucky One:  Deep Fantasy is such a powerhouse of an album.  It's like when you first discovered grunge in 1992 and were like fuck yes, let's do this hard.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

MP3 blog: 2014/08/12

blog 2014/08/12 - the days we know are all just nostalgia now

Crumbling away your childhood:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140812.zip


2222 - Moments Of Clarity:  This is MY STYLE of dubstep goodness.

Arve Henriksen - Bird's-eye-view
Arve Henriksen - Jump Cut:  I've been stumbling through a bunch of Henriksen's discography and I think my favourite is 2004's Chiaroscuro.  Some of his other stuff meanders a bit towards nowhere, but the textural meditations of this record really call to me.

Busdriver - Ego Death ft Aesop Rock & Danny Brown:  ALLLLLll over the place, and who knows if the elements gel, but each taken separately is pretty great.

Doyeq - Thank You:  I love glitch beats with classical piano.  It's a classic taste like peanut butter and chocolate.  AND THEN THE STRINGS?  Oh my this track is just incredible.

Echaskech - Anomie
Echaskech - Voyager:  Origin is some wonderful IDM glory.

Lechuga Zafiro - Isla De Flores (Atrapamboril Mix):  Unnnf all over this one.  AND IT HAS ELEPHANTS.

Lily and the Tigers - Honey:  Lovely bluesy barrom folk from the album The Hand You Deal Yourself.

Mahendra Kapoor & Suresh Wadekar - Sada Vasda Raje Punjab (Uproot Andy RMX)
Mulatu Astatke vs. K'naan ft Mos Def - America (Uproot Andy RMX):  2 MORE CLASSICS from Uproot Andy.


Simian Mobile Disco - A Form Of Change:  Epic tech from the masters.

Skating Polly - Alabama Movies:  Loving this playful rock screech from the new album Fuzz Steilacoom.

Ulrich Schnauss - A Long Way to Fall
Ulrich Schnauss - Ten Years:  Blissout ending with my 2 favourites from last year's A Long Way to Fall

MP3 blog 2014/08/05

blog 2014/08/05 - float on and up

The world is upside down but so are we:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140805.zip


Chihei Hatakeyama & Hakobune - Slightly Near (excerpt)
Chihei Hatakeyama & Hakobune - Vibrant Color (excerpt):  2 little peaks in to 3 of the cloud-state worlds on the new album It Is, It Isn’t.  Blissout newagey guitar ambient forever.

De La Soul - Dilla Plugged In
De La Soul - Marvin Jaye:  De La dropped the free mixtape Smell The DA.I.S.Y. this year, reworking a bunch of their old raps with Dilla beats.  Get in the groove.

Katamari Damacy vs Kanye West - Can't Tell Me Anything (Team Teamwork mashup):  OK this isn't the best mashup ever, but given it has the Katamari theme, it's the flagship and can't be missed.

Lathe - Nobody's Fault But Mine:  Incredible soaring track from the EP "II", availble on bandcamp.  Highly recommended.

M83, Anthony Gonzalez & Joseph Trapanese - Oblivion ft Susanne Sundfor (Oblivion OST)
M83, Anthony Gonzalez & Joseph Trapanese - Raven Rock (Oblivion OST)
M83, Anthony Gonzalez & Joseph Trapanese - Waking Up (Oblivion OST):  So yeah, I definitely listen to more soundtracks than watch movies.  Is that odd?  Anyways I definitely had to check this out for the M83 tip, because we all know that epic 80s pop should easily be able to meld in to soundtrack territory.

Michael Jackson - Beat It (acapella demo):  This is fricking ridiculoid.  MJ's multi-tracked acapella demo ideas for Beat It.  WHAT. THE. FUCK.  This is incredible.

m² - Deus Sol Invictus
m² - Heliogabal II:  Heliogabal is a whirlwind of an album.  Luiscious crunchy textures and dark corridors, with only a smattering of occassional beats for familiarity.  This is a dark headtrip, and highly recommended.

The Second Hand Marching Band - This Is The Story:  All bouncey happy twee indie pop, from A Hurricane, A Thunderstorm.

Thomas Feiner, Fyfe Dangerfield, Robbie Wilson - The Rainbow (Talk Talk cover):  OK OK OK, finally, the last great track from the collection of Talk Talk covers…

MP3 blog 2014/07/29

blog 2014/07/29 - we're done with this mess, this mess is now yours.

Who wants to fight for this dissatisfaction:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140729.zip


Anna Meredith - ALR
Anna Meredith - Unicron:  Meredith is a fricking electronics wizard and her records make me super giddy.  These gems are from the highly recommended Jet Black Raider EP and she will make your head spin too.

DAM - Mali Huriye (I Don't Have Freedom)
DAM - Warde
DAM - Ya Sayidati:  Palestinian rappers DAM have some great flows and you should check out their videos out youtube.

Death Cab For Cutie - 405 (Acoustic)
Death Cab For Cutie - Technicolor Girls:  So yeah I have been going back and digging in to the old Death Cab catalogue.  These 2 are from the Forbidden Love EP.

Gavin Friday and Shannon McNally - Tom's Gone to Hilo:  Another little track from the bafflingly existing "Son of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys" compilation.

Gowns - Heaven
Gowns - Marked:  Continuing my love affair with EMA, going back to her old band Gowns and Broken Bones is FUCKING AMAZING OMG.  That viola on Heaven gives me the ecstatics.  And an earlier version of Marked?  Oh shudder.

Katamari Damacy vs Death Grips - Tachyon (Team Teamwork mashup)
Katamari Damacy vs DMX - X Gon' Give It to Ya (Team Teamwork mashup):  OK this is more just a fabulous idea than a perfect execution, but hell with it, here we are:  Katamari Damacy soundtrack gets some rework.

Punch Brothers - Dark Days:  Lovely little bit of country folk from The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 & Beyond.  Yeah yeah yeah, I know…

Somatic Responses - Fear Chamber:  Literally the one shining light for me on Puny God.

Teeburr - Do It For The Vine:  FINALLY, a song that captures the zeitgeist of 2013!

Todd Edwards - Hold The Faith:  Todd Edwards is an always yes.  So funky.  So groovey.  Always.

Waxfactor - Reggaenomics (Luna Landa Mix):  Kick it down with some hot breakts!

MP3 blog 2014/07/22

blog 2014/07/22 - they see we're upset and what of it?

Chances are we will take it any more:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140722.zip


C/\TN/\PS - Crush On U
C/\TN/\PS - Last Night
C/\TN/\PS - Txt Me Goodnite:  That is "C/\TN/\PS", and they are awsome.  Their "The Feels" mixtape form last year is rocking my world in a big way.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Christian Löffler - Notes
Christian Löffler - Roman
Christian Löffler - Young Alaska:  Some of the most beautiful and textured electronic music.  Minimal, deep, housey, complex.  If you like Four Tet, this stuff blows most of that stuff out of the water.  Young Alaska is a gem.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Gowns - Cherylee
Gowns - White Like Heaven:  I am soooo in love with the two EMA albums, and then I was reminded of the precursor band: Gowns.  I got those albums and oh they are a slightly messier and gritter and equally glorious explorations.  These two tracks are from Red State, which fuses the dark pop with post rock sound scapes and ethereal whisper.  Recommended.

Sharon Van Etten - Keep:  The dreamiest of dreams from the 2009 album Because I Was In Love.

Shlohmo - Rained The Whole Time (Nicolas Jaar Remix)
Shlohmo - The Way You Do (D33J Remix):  Drenched down liquid honey remixes from the Vacation EP and you know you need it.  It's all this good.

The Herbaliser - Inside The Machine
The Herbaliser - Take 'em On:  After oh so many I don't get hyped by too many new albums from the Ninja Tunes classics roster, and I wasn't all about There Were Seven, but these 2 tracks from the 2012 album still have it going on.

Two Door Cinema Club - Sleep Alone (Matt Bishop Remix):  Already some of the best dance pop rock, it just takes a teeny remix touch to get it out to the clubs.

M3P blog 2014/07/16

blog 2014/07/16 - so realistic you're not even knowing the difference

Dropping to the hex edits:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20140716.zip


Charles Bradley - Crying in the Chapel
Charles Bradley - Dusty Blue
Charles Bradley - You Put the Flame On It:  This old soul man is all right by me.  It will be hard to find anyone who is not finding glorious moments on Victim of Love.  Recommended

Explosions in the Sky & David Wingo - Dear Madison (Prince Avalanche OST)
Explosions in the Sky & David Wingo - Send Off (Prince Avalanche OST)
Explosions in the Sky & David Wingo - Wading (Prince Avalanche OST):  I do this a lot:  get the soundtrack with no intentions of ever seeing the movie.   Great little pieces all over the lovely Prince Avalanche soundtrack.

John Zorn - Contes De Fees
John Zorn - Kol Nidre:  This might be a bit much for some of you, BUT BEAR WITH ME.  Zorn is back with another major CD of compositions for large ensemble, and the examples here aren't even the peak of the disc, which is a 20+ minute glorious track.  Fragmentations, Prayers And Interjections might not be for everyone, but if you love contemporary ensemble music, it's really remarkable.

Sidi Touré - Maïmouna
Sidi Touré - Ni see ay ga done (It is to You That I Sing):  Hot jams from Koïma!  I always check out all of the Tourés, and this album is just OK, but I like these 2 a lot.

The Decemberists - One Engine:  Another track from the curious little "The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 & Beyond" cash-in comp.

The Pastels - Secret Music:  I was excited for the new album Slow Summits, but not much else on there really grabbed me.

Tom Waits - Shenandoah:  A rare decent track from the curiously green-lighted comp "Son of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys"

U.S. Girls - Don't Understand That Man
U.S. Girls - North on 45
U.S. Girls - Work from Home:  I wasn't digging all of GEM, but loved a handful of tracks.

XV - Everyday Life:  Love love the flow all on this one.

Zero 7 ft Only Girl - The Colour Of Spring:  End it up with some blissful smoothness.  Good night!
