Mystery Jets : FACT Magazine Mix

A fantastic mix by the Mystery Jets boys that opens with 2 of my favorite ELO song and my favorite Todd Rundgren track “I Saw The Light”. This is a great 30 min mix that will kick off your weekend on a good note. Also a little Roxy Music, Genesis, and The Police always does a body good.

If you are in NYC Sept 14 and 15 be sure to catch Mystery jets live at Mercury Lounge. I shall be there!

Egyptian Hip Hop & Hudson Mohawke

Egyptian Hip Hop, the band that seems to be filling in Late of The Pier’s shoes at the moment teams up with Hudson Mohawke for their new EP, “Some Reptiles Developed Wings” out on Moshi Moshi. This is yet another producer/DJ teaming up with a band to produced some fruitful sonic treats. Hud Mo takes a step back and really lets Egyptian Hip Hop’s sound and vibe shine rather than adding his touch and sound to their tracks, proving that he is really fits into his “Producer Shoes”. Check out two of Psycho-Delic-Tronic tunes from the EP below. Boogie.

Gonzales x Erol Alkan

Here is a preview of Erol Alkan’s re-working/re-edit/re-visioning of Gonzales’ “Never Stop” out on limited edition vinyl on Phantasy Sound. Erol turns the Rap/Piano track into a disco-techno-electro dancefloor ready tune – nothing revolutionary or different for Mr. Alkan but if anything Erol is preparing us all for the epic “Ivory Tower”.

Kavsrave – Deluded

Kavsrave should be selling is beats to huge R’n’B/Pop Stars. Yet another one of his productions “Deluded” is screaming for Justin Timberlake-esque vocals. The huge stabbing synths and growling bassline will fulfill any of your Timbaland cravings. “Delude” is yet another fantastic production by Kavsrave who has already impressed me with his last release, his “Quotes EP” out on Numbers Records. Big choons.

Squarepusher x Mr. Oizo : Cryptic Motion Remix Teaser

This is a release massive release I am looking forward to on Ed Banger Records out at the end of the month, August 31. The single “Cryptic Motion” is a return to funk for Mr. Squarepusher – sort of his take on a Dam Funk’s boogie sound. Here is a teaser of the B-Side to the release, a remix by the one and only Mr. Oizo. The weirdo motherfunk ship has landed courtesy of Ed Banger Records.

Passion Pit x Penguin Prison

Take a hugely successful buzzband and then have the “it” buzz-artist remix their hit single – should work right? Ah the lovely music industry we live in by any means possible how can we the hype alive?! Well in this case it works as the pop prince Penguin Prison brings down the hyper-active falsetto of Passion Pit into a whispery, Holy Ghost! Yacht House, Disco sounding track. I really enjoy that bite in the bassline.

Gonzales : I Am Europe

As the musical genius Gonzales prepares to unleash “Ivory Tower”, his latest venture with the help of the one and only Boys Noize here is his next single “I Am Europe”. A playful “guess-who-am-I” track that lays out all the comical absurdities of Europe. Make sure to check out the music video which is more of a trailer to the epic film that coincides with the album that features Tiga.

Djedjotronic takes on “I am Europe” turning it into a massive “diplomatic techno” track ready to globally dominate any dancefloor.

Looks like there is only one screening of “Ivory Tower” in North America which will be in Brooklyn, so everyone be there for this epic occasion.

NEW YORK: 21 September at Galapagos Art Space Presented by Chilly Gonzales at the piano 16 Main Street, Brooklyn, NY

LIONSHARE : Shareholders R.E.P.O.R.T. Vol. 1 Part 2: Orphan Acronym

The power-rap Brooklyn trio Lionshare has just unleashed their latest mixtape “Shareholders R.E.P.O.R.T. Vol. 1 Part 2: Orphan Acronym” – an absurd mix full of sweaty party jams.

Here are a few words about the mixtape from the trio themselves:
“The title – an orphan acronym is one whose letters don’t stand for anything – speaks to LIONSHARE’s playful subversion of hip-hop’s eccentricities and contradictions. The sound follows the group as they flirt shamelessly with dubstep and other genres of electronic music, but there’s still a sense that they’ll return to rap and beats at the end of the night, with sheepish grins and flowers.

Be sure to checkout my 2 favorite tracks off the mixtape “Put It On A Jet” and ” Tet Offensive” feat. Jane Bang
