blog 2013/09/24 - no you can't just skip right to the end
Angel Haze - Drop It
Angel Haze - Wicked Moon ft Nicole Wray: Angel Haze. Reservation. One of the best hiphop albums from 2012. Simply amazing. Highly recommended.
Beth Orton - Call Me The Breeze
Beth Orton - Magpie: If you like your folk deep, tense brimming with a European magic, you'll love Sugaring Season. While certainly very, ahhh shall we say "CBC-core", it is one of those adult contemporary sojouns you will have to take when you are ready for a lovely candlelit dinner. Recommended for fans of the Be Good Tanyas and Sarah McLachlan.
Bill Callahan - The Sing
Bill Callahan - Winter Road: Bill's back and he's stripped away even more, showing everyone how little excess an Album Of The Year truly needs. Dream River is a turing test for if I want to sit on a dock and watch the sun rise with you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Born Gold - Abdomen: Lead single from the new album I Am An Exit, the production intensity has been turned down only a notch, just allowing the empathic vocals to shine even more. Get on board people, this is a Canadian answer to Passion Pit's electrojoy.
Braids - In Kind
Braids - Near Enough: Braids are back for 2013! Very exciting.
Charli Xcx - Cold Nites (Remix)
Charli Xcx - Moments In Love: I wasn't super digging the XCX mixtape, but I love these 2 tracks plenty, bringing in some RnB outside help, and then tapping the Art Of Noise.
David Lynch & Alan R. Splet - Eraserhead (Dance Mix): Every time someone drops the needle on the Eraserhead soundtrack their mind drifts to thoughts like "Dayyam this needs a hot remix". And thanks to the "Eraserhead: Original Soundtrack Plus" edition, here we are.
Ernie Hines - Our Generation (DJ Nu-Mark Re-Edit): The classic, flipped for the 2nd wave hiphoppers by Pete Rock, done in a DJ friendly package.
Flosstradamus - ITH ft Tuneboy & DJ Issac: soundboy be killin it
Hauschka - Radar (Alva Noto Remodel): Probably my favourite takeaway from the Salon des Amateurs Remixes album.
Josh Martinez - Going Back to Hali ft Classified & Scratch Bastid: Kinda hard not to just be smiles all over on this.
North Lake - Is It Dangerous To Go Alone: Total tech wub that I can get right behind. Go forth brave one.

MP3 blog 2013/09/17
blog 2013/09/17 - trash can orchestra through the EMU
AlunaGeorge - You Know You Like It (Dj Snake Remix): My favourite new pop sensation gets a bumping little rework.
Angel Olsen - Lonely Universe
Angel Olsen - The Waiting: Half Way Home is a heart-wrenching emotional apocalypse of a folk album that knocks the wind out of me. She is a cross between Elizabeth Anka Vajagic and Janis Joplin and a destroyer of worlds. Highly recommended.
Bonga - Mona Ki Ngi Xica (Synapson Remix): Totally grooving on the smoothed out and slowed down house.
Childish Gambino - Toxic ft Danny Brown: Danny on the Toxic samples works so perfectly.
Dollkraut - Loot (Krause Duo Remix): Plod on, tech warriors.
Dum Dum Girls - I Got Nothing: Another great track from the End Of Daze EP.
EuanCaiAtkinson - Rebound: Elegant washed out morning music to cry to.
Kid Smpl - What Kept Us (Giraffage Remix): The name Giraffage is soon synonymous with moonlit makeouts of the post raver set.
LOUDPVCK gLAdiator - Scaley (Pyramid Juke Remix): Banger trap shit. Use with caution. Discontinue use if syptoms of diarrhea persist.
Mark Davis - Eliminate The Toxins: I had this great song in my collection for a while but didn't know the artist! Finally got around to googling him, but let this be a lesson people: ALWAYS use proper ID3 tagging when you dump stuff online.
Matt Nathanson - Love Comes Tumbling Down (De Hofnar Bootleg): Uplifting happy electro pop, yes!
Monoloc & Daniel Wilde - When I Get Older: Brooding bass tech that holds a really lovely pop song in it.
Myopic - Jura: From We Were Here
Shlohmo & Jeremih - Bo Peep (Do U Right): Shlomo's trap-for-lovers fits so perfectly here with R&B.
Solvent - Frozen Food: This goes back a bit, but I had been listening to the ol' Cashier Escape Route comp and the 90s era Solvent richness is always so stunning and satisfying.
The Weather Station - In The Bleak Midwinter: Just in case the crushing weights weren't fully upon you…

MP3 blog 2013/09/10
blog 2013/09/10 - crushed by the momentum of just standing still
2morrows Victory - Lift Off (Tropics Remix): Sick of 96 indeed, keeping it every day.
B.Lewis & Sango - Não é Nada: This mix of pounding beat ans sweet soul gives smiles all around the block.
Cold Cave - The Great Pan Is Dead: From Cherish The Light Years, this is like Robert Smith on speed and Muscles.
Die Antwoord - Diz Iz Why I'm Hot (Dom Dolla's Bass Remix)
Die Antwoord - Fatty Boom Boom: DA always linger around with hot mixes always slipping out, and ahhhh yeah gotta pay some respects to the Fatty Boom Boom track of the last album. The beat is just sick.
Gidge - For Seoul PT1: Like if mopey indie rock got stuck in a loop and the machine spat out hypnotic plodding house.
Glasser - Apply (Lemonade Remix): I can't tell if this is more dour or uplifting…
Kendrick Lamar - M.A.A.D City ft MC Eiht: KL has so much hype and acclaim, but really I can't approach his stuff for the most part. He's not Kanye douchey, but in this day and age do we really need Bitch This/That? So tired on that front, makes the album hard to listen to as a whole.
Laura Mvula - Make Me Lovely
Laura Mvula - She (Jakwob Don't Stop Bootleg): There is some amazing comlexity at work in this voice. From the new album Sing To The Moon, I am getting super excited. Oh and hey Jakwob here to ice that cake.
Lil Wayne - 6' 7' (Six Foot, Seven Foot) ft Cory Gun: This goes back to 2010, back when Lil Wayne was a total douchebag. Oh wait, he still is, but ahhh the things we endure for a banger.
MoonRacer - Shangri La: Light and airy downtempo blissout.
Rapsody - Dark Knights ft Wale: Ahhh man I love this track so much.
Robin Thicke - Run 2 Me (Sammy Bananas Bootleg): So wait, who is this Thicke guy? Is he really Alan Thicke's spawn? The guy with the hair, from the 80s? What?
The Zolas - Knot in My Heart: From the album Ancient Mars, this is some straight up singalong rock.
ValkyR - Intelligence: They have lots of great spooky fun on Metamorphosis and it's a bit all over the place but also just filled with ghosts.
Vladislav Delay - Narri: A trough full of pulsing textures for you to just dunk your head in to and gorge, from the album Vantaa.

MP3 blog 2013/09/03
blog 2013/09/03 - sometimes I want you to be the one to call
A/T/O/S - A Taste Of Struggle (Commodo Mix): Get ready for a chillbass heavy update this week, and we'll start it off right with this super smooth single.
C. Diab - Stone: Wonderful melodies, all droned out in to states of bliss.
Conner Youngblood - Proportions: Guitar + skitter vox all over this plodder.
Dan∆logOne - Places: Downtempo framework with a 4/4 beat, from the album Skys.
Dracula Lewis - Permafrost: Oh god I love this oh so much.
Flume - Left Alone ft Chet Faker (Ta-Ku Remix)
Flume - Sleepless (Paces Remix): 2 incredible slices from Fume here, and each by a familiar name in the so-awesome-bass category.
Julio Bashmore - Au Seve (Bengfang Trapped Remix): Bashmore gets the intensity ramped up for a short little trap spell.
K.Flay - Hail Mary ft Danny Brown: D.B. stands for douchebag, but the flow on this is all sorts of hotness.
Kanye West - Mercy (D.Fine Remix): I've said it before and I'll say it again: Kanye reworks are always best when you subtract the Kanye.
Little Boots - Motorway: Little Boots is back with more of her pop pleasantries with her new album Nocturnes
Local Natives - You & I: I am still digesting the new album Hummingbird, but this song immediately jumps out as a highlight. For fans of Grizzly Baer, Beach House, and that entire vein.
Los Rakas - Abr Zame (Uproot Andy Mix): The now classic riddim falls in to UA's toolkit and it still sounds like sex.
Ólafur Arnalds - Endalaus II
Ólafur Arnalds - Two Songs for Dance: The new album Two Songs for Dance has some vocals on it that I really couldn't dig, but the instrumental tracks with their clicky IDM beats are pretty damn marvellous.
Rae Spoon - God Was On Your Shoulders
Rae Spoon - Love Is A Hunter (My Prairie Home version): Let's not mince words: My Prairie Home is a stunning album. A fully realized new work, it also serves as soundtrack to the new National Film Board documentary of the same name on Rae. Jarringly beautiful autobiographical songs sit perfectly balanced against instrumental vignettes, offering up moments of solace, reflection, and a moment to breathe before moving to the next scene. It even includes an incredible rework of Love Is A Hunter. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Rhye - Open (Bondax Remix): One of the most beautiful tracks of the last year gets a wonderful new dress for another night on the town.
Swimming - Triplebrie: Yeah with a name like that I think I was guaranteed to love it.
Termanology - Bars For Days:

MP3 blog 2013/08/27
blog 2013/08/27 - beckoning on the horizon, the omen presents as a pony
2AM Club - Miley Cyrus: Who is this Miley person everyone is talking about? Sheesh.
CHVRCHES - Now Is Not The Time: From the Recover EP, this band makes me oh so happy.
Cornelius - Design Ah No Theme: Cornelius! Yes the dapper Japanese blender musician whom we all swooned over in the 90s! He scored a TV series on design called NHK DESIGN AH and as you can imagine, it's a pretty perfect fit.
Crash Of Rhinos - Interiors
Crash Of Rhinos - Standards & Practice: Some truecore emo sounds from the brilliant new album Knots.
Giselle - Silk (Rummage Remix): Rummage gives a sexy bass twist to this glorious little pop number.
Jill Barber - Two Brown Eyes (alternate mix): I stumbled on to this "The Our Power Solar Music Compilation" comp, and it had this gem (and the Mike O'Neill one) on it. Total Canadiana
Justin Martin - Ghettos & Gardens: Just total bass bounce without any of the side fixins.
Mike O'Neill - She Believes In Me (99% acoustic mix): In the same weekend that I was looking up old Inbreds stuff I stumbled on this great song on a little-known Canadian fundraiser comp and oh I love it.
Nguzunguzu - Drop Cage: Speaking of pure piles of clickclack bass bins….
Ryan Hemsworth - Overthinking
Ryan Hemsworth - Slurring (Baauer Remix): 2 slices from last year's brilliant Last Words album / double EP. So so so good.
Subsist - Girl: This. This is just total sex right here. All of it.
The Boxer Rebellion - Diamonds
The Boxer Rebellion - Keep Moving: Occupying a space somewhere in between The National, The Walkmen, and The Cure, the new album Promises is seeming pretty darn exciting.
The Heavy Blinkers - Perfect Tourists: From the new album Health.
The Inbreds - Amelia Earhart (live)
The Inbreds - You Will Know and Prince (live): Looking up Mike O'Neill I discovered that Inbreds had released a live album I had never heard! Woah! Live In Calgary 1997 is available for digital purchase, and fabulous if you are an oldschool Inbreds fan.

MP3 blog 2013/08/21
blog 2013/08/21 - I notice you're watching too.
Aimee Mann - Labrador: While being the lead single from the new album Charmer, and also the best song IMO, I love this song because the lyrics rework the notorious Bicycle Built For Two.
Alunageorge - Attracting Flies
Alunageorge - Lost and Found
Alunageorge - Your Drums Your Love: Body Music is an incredible album, all of the best parts of Lily Allen, UK pop bass, Annie, & Robyn. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Author - Teacher: This goes back to 2011, but it is a distillation of some of the best traditional dubstep elements, a postcard of what the genre might-have-been. A readymade nostalgia.
Cat Power - 3.6.9
Cat Power - Manhattan: Posting that remix last week reminded me that I enver really posted anything from Cat Power's 2012 album "Sun". Why? Well generally I was super disappointed with it. But I do love these 2 tracks.
Celer & Hakobune - Merges Of Hysterical Exhilaration: Time to chiiiiiiiil with a long selection from Vain Shapes And Intricate Parapets.
Ciara - Body Party (Sliink X Nadus Jersey Club Remix): A great little rework with deep enough syntyhs and an ample number of snaps.
DOOM - Retarded Fren ft Thom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood: Tragically named, but I love the beat here. From Complex Vol. 1.
La Sera - Please Be My Third Eye: This reminds me of St. Vincent in a really lovely way.
Lustmord - Babel: The new album The Word As Power is absolutely incredible, and pairs the your-soundsystem-just-isn't-good-enough drones with guest vocalists. The result is far more accessible for those scared of ambient music, and otherworldly for those of us that aren't. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Minipop - [untitled]: Space pop folk rcok smooth all over.
Monki Valley - Tanzania: Total sweet grooves from the new Where I Used to Sit EP. Amazing.
Sugar Stems - 6 Feet Under: Crazy fun sunshine pop from the album Can't Wait.

MP3 blog 2013/08/13
blog 2013/08/13 - it all clicks together seemlessly
Annie - Tube Stops and Lonely Hearts: New single from this dancefloor pop diva.
Blawan - Kaz: Blawan - Kaz
Blawan - Vibe Decorium: Totally sick deepness from Blawan, off the Bohla EP and What You Do With What You Have.
Cat Power - Cherokee (Nicolas Jaar Remix): I love it when a beatsmithy producer takes a great track and says fuck it, no beat, just float on this hot bed of synth wonderment. Let the flavours speak for themselves.
Clap! Clap! - Please Mother Rain Wash Our Souls From Human Evil: Powerful heavybass clapbang shit from Gwidingwi Dema and it's totally storming.
Esme Patterson - My Young Man: From All Princess, I, what really makes it for me is the demure male backup vocals.
Goldie - Kemistry (Justin Martin Remake - DJ Version): Justin Martin makes everything better. Cupcakes? Justin Martin cupcakes are better and covered in special sprinkles. Bicycles? Justin Martin bicycles will get you there in half the time without smelling like shit. And Goldie? You best believe this is the hottest Goldie track you've heard in a decade now.
Los Cojolites - Luna Negra (Uproot Andy RMX): Another crazy addictive banger from the always classy Uproot Andy.
Nina Simone - Feel Good (Skyphos Remix): Admit it, you never tire of the endless Simone remixes, do you? DO YOU?
Shad & Skratch Bastid - Bound 2 (Dub): Now THIS I wholehardedly endorse: Take all the best parts of Kanye, strip out all of the terrible parts of Kanye (i.e. the Kanye,) and then drop in some Shad. Problem Solved.
Speedy Ortiz - No Below
Speedy Ortiz - Tiger Tank: Major Arcana stuns with it's raw power, both musically and emotionally. The tremble alone makes your ears perk up. A fine mix of Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., Conor Oberst, and Sleater-Kinney. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Stephan Mathieu - Keid: Clinical drone action from his new album The Falling Rocket. Yeah, you keep waiting for the drop there, bucko.
Sun Glitters - Alone (Tours Edit): Smooth sailing chillbass for your own rocky shores.
The Hold Steady - Criminal Fingers: A true return to form, slipped out there on a 7" on record store day. A new classic.
The Weather Station with Baby Eagle - Mule In The Flowers
The Weather Station with Daniel Romano - Tomorrow Is Forever: Duets are often big affairs with bigger voices and bigger sounds. Screw that, we're getting together, getting cozy, and getting intimate and let's snuggle.

MP3 blog 2013/08/07
blog 2013/08/07 - azzerrrywhere
Baths - Ironworks
Baths - No Eyes: The new album Obsidian is garnering critical praise, but I can't get in to it as deeply as everyone else seems to. Disclaimer aside, there is much chugging hazy beat pop action going on here.
Beck - I Won't Be Long: Before enjoying any new Beck song, we all need a moment of silence to pity his desent in to the madness that is Scientology. May he get free one day.
Black Ceiling - Tw1n P34ks: Hitting you with with that Lynchian one-two tentacle punch!
Blue Stahli - Ghost of Love (David Lynch cover): Cover of the "single" from Lynch's first album.
Console - Leaving A Century (Marek Hemmann Remix): Part of a new trough of remixes, this one is my favourite mintech workout.
Freddie Scott - (You) Got What I Need (Danny Massure edit): Another amazing beatfunk classic gets a sly edit so you can slip it in perfectly and educate the children.
Kabaka International Guitar Band - Mangala Special (Uproot Andy RMX): If you didn't pick it up, Uproot Andy's Worldwide Ting mixtape was the hottest thing releasest in a year and lo and behold, the hot singles are coming out to blow up dancefloors everywhere!
The Futureheads - Acapella (Kelis cover): What an odd choice: releasing Rant, an acapella album? Where they hell did that come from? Track included for perfect irony.
Wooden Wand - No Bed For Beatle Wand / Days This Long
Wooden Wand - Southern Colorado Song: When the lyrics don't start until 3 minutes in, that is MY KIND OF FOLK. Blood Oaths Of The New Blues didn't win me over as a whole, but my god these 2 tracks lick my socks off.
Yellow Ostrich - Elephant King
Yellow Ostrich - Marathon Runner
Yellow Ostrich - Stay At Home: Strange Land is an album where I wasn't in to the whole, but this selection of tracks from it melts my face in such an amazing way, I just want this to be a single and declare it the best thing of the year.
Young Galaxy - Hard To Tell
Young Galaxy - Pretty Boy
Young Galaxy - Sleepwalk With Me: Ultramarine weaves another synth electro pop spell that is more sultry and simmering than in-your-face, as you might expect. This album continues to grow all over me.

MP3 blog 2013/07/30
blog 2013/07/30 - all for you is never quite true
Air Zaïre - All For You: Summer will never die with the bouncing pop omg steel drum!
Balmorhea - Days: I have a love for this organic instrumental electronica stuff, ala the early days of Tortoise. From the album Stranger.
Budo + Hollis - Open (Rhye cover): Create take on the original which is one of those songs where you probably should never try at karaoke.
Fatso - Clocks Inside ft Chris Martin: A puzzle-piece of a song, just begging to be hooked in to an electropop set.
Hydraulix - From The Bottom (Salva Remix): From the bottom of the "From The Bottom" EP
Joey Bada$$ - Hillary $wank: $wank is something we can all get behind.
Kastle - Stay Forever VIP: If someone asks you to Stay Forever, chances are they are ghost and therefore awesome. Hug that ghost.
Lonnie Holley - Looking for All (All Rendered Truth): THIS IS THE SINGLE OF THE YEAR, HOLY SHIT EVERYONE STOP MAKING ART NOW AND SPEND TIME WITH THIS.
Marian Hill - Whisky: Starts off with some classic soulclapping, but the chopped vox push it up to a next level direction.
Shlohmo - Don't Say No ft How To Dress Well: Yesss let's get this kid on all the sexy hot beats thank you.
Talk Normal - Lone General
Talk Normal - XO: Sunshine is a sleeper album hit from 2012 and OMG how much do I love this band? They are the perfect synthesis of Kim Gordon-fronted Sonic Youth with Laurie Anderson meditativeness. Highly recommended.
Team Wild - Eugene: Blistering charge of amazing rock from the album Taekwondo.
The Walkmen - Weight On My Shoulders: My highlight from the Lisbon b-sides album.
Tokimonsta - Go With It (CRNKN Remix): Super smooth pop bass goodness.
Tuesday Born - Wake ft Dnae: More new soulful smoothness.
Tycho - Adrift: Channelling their best BOC synths, from 2011's Dive.
Zomes - Loveful Heights: No idea what is going on here, but this piece from Time Was is jaw-dropping.

MP3 blog 2013/07/25
blog 2013/07/25 - there is enough of this now
Bird - Stine Shine ft Little Brother & Notes To Self: Big horn beat with browbeaten rhymes about personal responsiility? OK!
CIRC - The Night We Danced Without A Care: Like if Four Tet took a lesson in writing pop music,
Dead Times - Feel: This just in: Annie Lennox is know a man and is once again making incredible pop music.
Disclosure - F for You: Slinky dude vox often don't work, thus my aversion to much of Chromeo, but here I'm all like AWW YEAH GET THEM EVEN HIGHER IN THE MIX because it's pants off party time.
Ellen Allien - Lism (excerpt): Allien is rightly apped for soundtrack work for the movie Lism and it's a wonderful full length meshed journey that is only 50% of what you'd expect and 50% of delightful surprise. Recommended for Nyquil Drivers everywhere.
Jerusalem in My Heart - Yudaghdegh el-ra3ey wala al-ghanam: If there is an escalator to infinite heaven, this is the sound that engulfs you forever.
Justin Bieber - As Long As You Love Me (Louis La Roche Remix): Super bass pitched out goodness.
K Theory x Chrome Wolves - Stutter: Robert Smith, is that you? Oh swoon.
Loo & Placido - Back In Heaven: Sweet lovin' deep house!
Nick Everett & Everybody - Hold On
Nick Everett & Everybody - I Try: Oh this is the stunning kind of folk I just get all mushy for. From the new album elsethings.
Pretty Lights - Color of My Soul: A bit of that West Coast grindy midrange with a traditional downtempo groove.
Solo - Alki Bamba ft Deepshakerz: More hotness on the deep tip.
Twin Shadow - Castles In The Snow
Twin Shadow - Five Seconds: 2 more fabulous Twin Shadow tracks. I admit his stuff took a while to grow on me, but now I have no idea how I did without.
We/Or/Me - From the Top of this Thing: Do I really have to explain how awesome this is? At times channelling Giorno, this is a storytelling meditation.
Yellow Claw & Yung Felix - Dancefloor Champion: Ra baba babababa BASS!

Deafheaven - Dream House
Deafheaven - Windows: HOLY. SHIT. Sunbather. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Demdike Stare - Collision
Demdike Stare - Misappropriation: The new Testpressing #001 single is an overload of awesome bass. Like the very first time you heard Techno Animal and got weak in the knees.

Green Lantern - Splitting Atoms: Just some straightforward dubstep bass.

Keaton Henson - You: I'm a sucker for this tender and wavering folk.
Kitty - Barbie Jeep: Another great track from the Adult Swim singles selection, Kitty has won our naïve approval.
Metz - The Mule: Freshly winning entry in to the Polaris short list, Metz are a fucking powerhouse and should be handled with nihilistic care.
Nuyorican Soul - I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun (PH Stretch Edit): The classic gets a breaks-friendly edit and all the peoples smile.
Run The Jewels - Banana Clipper ft Big Boi: Another hot track of this amazing FREE album from El-P and Killer Mike

MP3 blog 2013/07/10
blog 2013/07/10 - and we'll blow this door in
Action Bronson - Strictly 4 My Jeeps: OK yes Action Bronson is a totally douchebag, sample Saab Stories with caution.
Alice Russell - For a While: Alice Russels stuns us again with another beautiful joint.
Beats Antique - Get Lucky ft Charles Butler (Daft Punk Cover): Oh yes, cue the next wave of Daft Punk covers!
Bells Atlas - Incessant Noise
Bells Atlas - Kazoo: 2 tracks from the self-titled new album that are so smooth and pleasant, but also contain a great complexity that you'd expect from something sounding, at first, like pop soul.
Bibio - You: Ecstatic new noise from Silver Wilkinson.
Blok - Skin Off: HOW CAN YOU SAY NO???
Boards Of Canada - Cold Earth
Boards Of Canada - Nothing Is Real: OH DID YOU HEAR? New Boards Of Canada albums is out! OK, it's a bit dissapointing, but a slightly disappointing BOC album is still good enough to mean Tomorrow's Harvest will dominate Best of 2013 lists everywhere.
Camera Obscura - Break It To You Gently
Camera Obscura - Troublemaker: This band gets better and better and better. Desire Lines is out now, and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
CFCF - Camera: Luscious plodding jazz electronics? Oh yes please. From the new album Music For Objects.
Chairs - Indestructible Machine: Great brooding pop from The Droning of an Insect Wing.
I Am Oak - Don't I Know Enough: I imaginate folk like this is a theme song for recruitment in to a cult. Yes.
Jai Nitai Lotus - Mingus Clap: Short, perfect goodness from Something You Feel.
Oskar Schuster - Stjernen ft Possimiste
Oskar Schuster - Vleurgat: 2 delicate pieces of minimal perfection.
Slam Dunk - Fantasy: Dirty bar rock from Welcome To Miami.
The Uncluded - Bats: Aesop Rock & Kimya Dawson give us another swirling linguistic hot mess, from a split single with Atmosphere (remember him?)
Tinashe - Ecstasy: Sweetness R&B
Xs - Over (ill Life Remix): and we end it on some great mutant techno

MP3 blog 2013/07/04
blog 2013/07/04 - a twenty five cent chance for redemption
Camera Obscura - Fifth In Line To The Throne: New single from Camera Obscura! Can't wait to hear the full lengh, Desire Lines.
CocoRosie - End Of Time
CocoRosie - Tears For Animals ft Antony Hegarty: I think it makes sense that for CocoRosie to get back in to fine form they needed to bring Hegarty back in to the mix. Now that they've done that, the melodies congeal, the breakbeats snap, and these dreary moods are a great little place to hangout. Tales Of A Grass Widow is growing on me.
Daft Punk - Doin' It Right: Oh HAI, did you hear that Daft Punk have a new album out? It's called Random Access Memories and maybe you've seen it mentioned somewhere?
Field Mouse - Glass
Field Mouse - Tomorrow is Yesterday: While being one of the cutest names for a band, we have some lovely fully formed pop goodness here.
Grand Analog - Electric City ft Shad: This track goes back a few years, but I have been loving the organ on it lately.
James Blake - Life Round Here (MANIK Ghost Pines Rework)
James Blake - Retrograde (Quasimo's bootleg remix): 2 little Blake remixes, one on the deep house tip, one true to the plod. All goodness.
Julia Stone - This Love (Egokind Edit): Sweet deepness all around.
Mauracher - Outer Space Dancer: Even buried under the fuzzy synths, the hand claps make me soar.
Mop Mop - Kamakumba
Mop Mop - Phantom Of The Panther: 2 track so suuuuper slick jazz grooves holy hell!
Scout Niblett - Can't Fool Me Now: Scout's new album It's Up to Emma is shaping up to be another slow burner. She's got some Bonnie Billy back in the mix, and hell, how else do you recover after the past high's of Kiss???
Sky Ferreira - Everything Is Embarassing: How songs like this aren't dominating the pop charts is beyond me. Total ace.
The Limousines - Call Me Al (Paul Simon Cover): No one can do it like Paul, but awww heck, thanks for trying, guys!
TWRK - Living Room ft Dan Gerous: Cali twerk moth

MP3 blog 2013/06/18
blog 2013/06/18 - we looked sideways out
Aidan Baker - Already Drowning with Clara Engel: With Already Drowning, Aidan Baker gets in to some late night simmering that brings me in to a Elizabeth Anka Vajagic kind of place. Surprising, Baker's world manages to have even more love. A really interesting turn for this oft-producing artist.
Animal Collective - New Town Burnout (Shabazz Palaces Remix): Shabazz all over this one with some great halloween groove shit, from Monkey Been To Burn Town.
Arcade Fire - Brazil: Brazil is one of those songs, like Girl From Ipanema, that I ALWAYS want to hear every single cover of since it's such a timeless classic. From the old release Cold Wind.
Gabriel & Castellon - Hum: bo bo bo bo bo bo boom boom boom boom
Grizzly Bear - Sleeping Ute (Nicolas Jaar Remix): Because hey, we all know that Grizzly Bear needed MORE echo on it.
Hectic - Rooftop NYE VIP: And sometimes we just need some VIP bass.
Method Man x Heyoka - Release Yo Camanche (Stylust Beats mash): These 2 lovebirds were made for each other.
Nathan Hanson & Brian Roessler - La Lune Est Morte: A little slice of beauty off of Selenographia.
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Mermaids: is pretty epic, and still growing eon me, so no final verdict yet. Every once in a while you just give up and say FINE, NICK CAVE, TELL US ABOUT YOUR PENIS AGAIN.
Phoenix - The Real Thing: Don't get me wrong, this track is pretty great, but it's sounding a little bit more ummm… generic? Then the other Phoenix stuff. New album is Bankrupt! and I will still certainly check it out.
Sister Nancy - Bam Bam (Zebo's We Nuh Digital Remix): The classic gets flipped up again!
Sleeping At Last - Snow: Just delicate and touching and perfect.
Super Fuzzy - Link In Love: Tragically short, I love the 8-bit romance.
The Evens - King of Kings
The Evens - Wanted Criminals: Ian Mackeye teams up with his wife for The Odds and together gives us an amazing album that will satisfying both Fugazi fans and fans of husband/wife duos. Recommended!
UZ & CRNKN - Booty 2 The Ground (TWRK REMIX): This is what bass is all about.
Vampire Weekend - Step: An admirably non-obnoxious nhew single from the brand new VW album!
Winny Puhh - Meiecundimees üks Korsakov läks eile Lätti: It's Estonia vs the world at Eurovision, and we all won.

Solace vs Nick Warren - Solace In The Devil's Elbow (LeeDM101): Love empathic electro pop like this.
The Gaslight Anthem - Here Comes My Man
The Gaslight Anthem - Howl: OK, so it's not the '59 Sound, but Handwritten is still a solid anthem, and if you need your New Jersey rocker fix, and I know you do, you should still get this one.

MP3 blog 2013/06/10
blog 2013/06/10 - the weird must flow and it keeps all progressing onward
Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni ba - Mali Koori: The playing is incredible, but it is the aesthetics of the recording methods that really make this one shine for me. Love the production.
Bobby McFerrin & Esperanza Spalding - Swing Low: Oh Bobby, I just can't dig your new album Spirityouall. All hymnals, mostly tragically uninspired. But this, oh I do love covers of Swing Low, so I had to skim this off the top.
Broken Social Scene - Deathcock: New old stock BSS leaks out for the nostalgia tour bonanza.
Chance The Rapper - Smoke Again ft Ab-Soul: OK, not loving all of Acid Rap, but really appreciate the flow on this one.
Deadbeat - Horns of Jericho
Deadbeat - The Elephant in the Pool
Deadbeat - Yard: You all know I'm devastatingly harsh on electronic records. Most albums are really mediocre as a whole, or should have been a 12" only. Maybe a double 12". But oh the filler. Welcome to Eight, the latest album from Deadbeat where it truly is all fucking killer, no lazy filler. This is one of the first electronic danceyalbums in a long while where I look forward to putting it on from start to finish. So so so highly recommended.
Ellie Goulding - Hanging On (Illo Bootleg): Goulding in the trap!
George Maple - OPST : Gorgeous jazzy vocals offered up on a perfectly light platter of bass. Amazing.
Major Lazer - Bubble Butt ft Bruno Mars, Tyga & Mystic: You were expecting, what, Kantian discourse?
Sam Amidon - Bright Sunny South
Sam Amidon - My Old Friend
Sam Amidon - Weeping Mary: Sam Amidon is back with a new album, Bright Sunny South, featuring his wholly unique blend of apocalyptic Appalachian folk hymns fused with start naked pop culture horror. Easily destined for my Best Of 2013 list. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
The Knife - Without You My Life Would Be Boring: Another track from the epic Shaking The Habitual. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

AN21 & Max Vangeli - Bombs Over Capitals (Lars Aar Remix): Smooth lounge house with some perfect carnival pads all around.
Bola - MSBH Fade (Miles Seaton and Blue Hawaii)

Ginger & The Ghost - One Type Of Dark (Ta-ku Remix): First up on the trapmance tip, Ta-Ku is back swith some snappy ish.

Husky - History's Door: New track from the album "Forever So".
JJAMZ - Heartbeat (Chrome Wolves Remix): The new electro pop brings in the snares and lets it all ride.
Madjo - Where Did You Sleep Last Night: No, this is not a "Nirvana cover". Gah, kids these days!
Michael Kiwanuka - I'll Get Along (DJ iZem Bootleg Remix): This track rambles on top itself in some of the most delicious ways. Love it.
Minoru Muraoka - Positive & Negative (Cut Chemist Edit): Oh yes oh yes, you remember those strings! We're on some Ninja Tune cratedigging stuff right here.
Poldoore - Nothing Left To Say: Oh hey! Speaking of iconic string lines…
Polly Scattergood - Wanderlust: Can a chorus come dripping with more breathy lust for adventure?
The Little Ones - Forro: From The Dawn Sang Along

MP3 blog 2014/04/18
blog 2014/04/18 - the unfathomable expanse of unbridled playtime
Bibio - À tout à l'heure: The hazy psych feel here is the perfect Bibio evolution. Couldn't ask for more.
Bonobo - Cirrus (Dont You Want Me) (Cocolino Edit): Let's just take that Bonobo smoothness and roll it out in to an eternal groove oh yes.
Eleanor Friedberger - Stare At The Sun (Epitonic Saki Session): The Fiery Furnaces troubadour returns with a great live take.
Elephant - Skyscraper: Mininig a touch of surf sentimentality, this is some gloriously satisfying pop.
Fol Chen - A Tourist Town: Fabulous new track from the new album The False Alarms.
Homeboy Sandman - Brown: Hot new ish on Stones Throw mines the Tom Waits percussion for some perfectly muted joints.
Icona Pop vs C2C - Happy To Love It (Fissunix mashup): Ridiculous in concept but oh so precious now that it's here. WHO KNEW WE NEEDED THIS?
NO - Another Life: THIS IS NOT THE NATIONAL. Every review has to state that upfront. I don't really care, I love the National so much I'd love ot have another dead-ringer replacement in case their tour bus explodes.
Pascal Pinon - Bloom
Pascal Pinon - When I Can't Sleep: So much force behind this whispered pop magic! From the new album Twosomeness.
Philip Glass - NYC 73-78 (Beck Remix): This could have been its own EP, all alone. But the surprise entry in the Glass Remixes was too quickly overloked. Here, a giant Beck expanse to just muck around in!
Poludnice vs. Liquid Molly - Dolina, Dolinuszka: Nowadays it's amazing to hear something dubsteppy without a trap roll or brostep drop. SO. DAMN. REFRESHING.
State Lines - Win Free: Sometimes you just need some emo-laden punk pop in your world.
Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - Kindness Be Conceived ft Joanna Newsom: I am loving the new Thao album We The Common and COME ON PEOPLE, JOANNA NEWSOM. Highly recommended.
The Strokes - 80's Comedown Machine: I've never been much of a Strokes fan but I really enjoy this song from the new album Comedown Machine
THEBLKHANDS - In Love ft Kembe X: The XX get ripped over, and while I'm not sure why they weren't credited in the title, the verse on top goes really well.

M3P blog 2013/04/10
blog 2013/04/10 - time to whittle down the audience and just find that spot inside
7bit Hero - Boy Walks Girl To Work And Is Followed By A Ghost.: 8-bit bass in yr face! The melodies in this are boffo.
BenZel - Fallin' Love (Alex Young Remix): This is Glass Swords, right? I can't check that album right now, but yeah this is a Rustie beat, right? Can't help but love it.
Bradez - Wossop ft Kwaw Kesse (Remix): Some super dope bounce on this one.
Cliff Dweller - Peace In The Valley (with Therapies Son and Ella Hatamian): I'm a sucker for anything starting with Amazing Grace. From the new album Emerald City.
Congo Natty - UK Allstars ft Tenor Fly, Top Cat, General Levy, Tippa Irie, Sweetie Irie, Daddy Freddy (radio edit): HEY REMEMBER 1996? Who the fuck would have thought that Congo Natty would make a comeback 17 years later? And it's DOOOOOPPPEEEEE.
Dinosaur Jr. - Entertainment (Phoenix cover): Did I mention this week how much I love Dinosaur Jr.? Because I do. And will imediately b-line towards any covers they do.
Dr. John - Right Place, Wrong Time (DJ Yamin 2013 Remix): So so so perfectly funky. Keep them DJ-friendly reworks coming.
Dream Koala - We Can't Be Friends: YES, DREAM KOALA, WE CAN BE FRIENDS. BEST OF FRIENDS FOREVER AND EVER UNTIL INFINITY.
Exist Strategy - Autumn Breeze (Cross Them Out Remix): Smooth bass goes perfect with strings at the break of dawn.
Fol Chen - I.O.U.: Everything I've heard leaked from the new album The False Alarms has been kinda sorta perfect on the addictive pop front. ALL IS WELL. I AM EXCITE.
Http X Mickie Ryan - Bang Bang: More female MCs getting badass and dirty on the harsh beats. Love it.
J. Cole - Nobodys Perfect ft Missy Elliot (ONE4ALL Remix): J. Cole always had the UK bass worked out, so tossing in some chopped Missy on the track is a perfect seasoning.
Julian Stephen - Booty Call Hrs
Julian Stephen - Hey Stranger: Taken from the #AwkwardMoments mixtape, I love this guy's flow, and the Radiohead beat certainly doesn't hurt as a broad-stroke populist lovefest move. For fans pining for a taste of Oldominion stylee, be sure to check this out.
Mark Templeton - Carved And Cared For: There's something so nurturing and warm about this little ball of chaos that is so enticing. From the new album Jealous Heart.
Marnie Stern - You Don't Turn Down: I've always liked Marnie Stern, and always wanted to LOVE here, and I think the new The Chronicles of Marnia album might just have that edge.
Nicolas Jaar - After Laughter Comes Tears (edit): Jaar digs in to the original to give us a quick edit for all the heads out there.
Niki & The Dove - Tomorrow (Little Daylight Remix): A little spunkier than the original, you can never catch the emotional impact of the original, so might as well get some dance floor funk in there.
Vampire Weekend - Diane Young: New Vampire Weekend for 2013! Stay tuned for more, I'm sure.
Young Galaxy - Pretty Boy (Peaking Lights Remix): A blissful combination, new Y.G. with some Peaking Lights action on top. So good.

Nicolas Jaar - After Laughter Comes Tears (edit): Jaar digs in to the original to give us a quick edit for all the heads out there.
Niki & The Dove - Tomorrow (Little Daylight Remix): A little spunkier than the original, you can never catch the emotional impact of the original, so might as well get some dance floor funk in there.
Vampire Weekend - Diane Young: New Vampire Weekend for 2013! Stay tuned for more, I'm sure.
Young Galaxy - Pretty Boy (Peaking Lights Remix): A blissful combination, new Y.G. with some Peaking Lights action on top. So good.
