In which Shlohmo drops another mix optimally oriented for codeine connoisseurs. Beat game Clayton Kershaw. Some sluggish and stellar remixes of tracks from Just Friends (ic Jaar and the director of Amistad’s daughter), “Crew Love” and the LOL Boys. Plus, an unreleased track. Lean back on a Sunday and enjoy. Tracklist below the jump. Via… Continue reading »
A cursory skim through the mixes that Lunice, Hud Mo, and Four Tet dropped last night on Diplo’s BBC1 Xtra show reveals the strain of American rap music that’s permeating the UK consciousness. For most of the last few years, the only type of rap you’d hear on these BBC1Extra mixes would be Doom, Mos… Continue reading »
Since Russell Westbrook dresses like the new Timbale player in Hot Chip, it’s only fitting that I post the British disco goofs essential mix for the BBC. We’ve been through this before, so I don’t need to wax redundant about the highs of English public radio. Hot Chip are of that peculiar strain of pallid… Continue reading »
America lacks an institution on par with the BBC1 Essential Mix. Sometimes bands of bearders pop up on Morning Becomes Eclectic, but they usually only play a few songs to soundtrack 9 a.m. binges on craisin scones. We stick to the pastries, they create their own tradition in which every notable artist (and the Swedish… Continue reading »
Only an ignorant itinerant sheepherder roaming around the outback would dislike the mix series that Peaking Lights have unleashed upon the world in honor of their latest, Lucifer. And even then, out of said lamb lovers (no Gene Wilder), most of them are known to appreciate some slinking summer-ready reggae jams. So smoke one or… Continue reading »
Minor programming update: I, Jeff Maximilian Rollie De La Paz Weiss, may be scarce over the next month. Without scooping myself, I’m heading into the backwoods to report a story of paramount national importance. Like Cappadonna and Ghostface, I might pop in your cereal. Thankfully, the crew will be holding it down in my partial… Continue reading »
I’m supposed to interview Peaking Lights at some point in the coming weeks and now my line of questioning is already handled. Their new Lucifer mix has no tracklist — stitched amidst the new wave, disco-soul, and sundry tropically-tinted jams are new songs snared from their sophomore album that’s dropping in June on Mexican Summer.… Continue reading »
SirReal – SUB SESSIONS 01/27/2012 by Sirrealnesss on Mixcloud Son Raw bruked out to this one. Upon sending me this, Charlottetown DJ SirReal said he didn’t know if “I was into mixes.” That’s actually a valid line of inquiry – there’s only so many hours in the day and when DJs make up half your… Continue reading »
The new Freddie Gibbs mixtape, just in time to soundtrack smacking Trick-or-Treaters with sacks of flour. On first listen, this is more trap-oriented than past tapes. So it goes when Jeezy appears twice, 2Chainz once, and Alley Boy on a song called “Rob Me a Nigga.” Best heard while dressed as O-Dog. Download: ZIP: Freddie… Continue reading »
Four Tet remixing Tinariwen, premiering B-sides, new artists from his Text imprint, and an array of subterranean dance music tracks that you probably haven’t heard unless you’ve memorized Resident Adviser. Twice. Downloading seems like the only sensible decision. Via Beats in Space (h/t Frank N’ Beats) Download: MP3: Four Tet-Beats in Space Mix Pt. 1… Continue reading »
