New Panda Bear

Holy shit this song is awesome.  Panda Bear's layered vocals sweep in and out of the reverb drenched mix of "Slow Motion" to great effect.  His much anticipated follow up album to Person Pitch entitled Tomboy will be out via Paw Tracks sometime soon (hopefully)

Download "Slow Motion" in high quality here.   The remix opportunities are endless with this tune.

Foreign rap that doesnt suck

Feel good summer track for those sunny days.  Laid back funky sample with simple party lyrics.  Its that easy.

Who knew Swedish rap could be more hip hop than most of the craprap coming out of the U.S. these days?  Daydrinking encouraged.  Out now via Chateau Disc, Japan

                       

Unrelesed Burial Tracks

There's been a bunch of these unreleased Burial tracks making rounds about the old interweb for the past few years.  Speedball2 was supposed to be on Untrue but didn't make the cut.  Not for its lack of interesting ideas though.  This track sees Burial applying his meticulous production technique and thorough drum programming in a much more sinister way than we've seen on his proper releases.  Burial nods to jungle and drum and bass, giving us a pretty interesting glimpse as to what this man is really capable of.
                             

Another standout has been Stairwell taken from a Kode9 set at the Sonar Festival back in 2007.  This monster knows nothing of the introspective lingering atmospheres that Burial built on his two albums.  Its a persistent, downright militant jaunt; its trashcan drums galloping through bass tones deep and rich.  His pitched vocals are here in full effect but this time they play hype-man.   Gone are the androgynous characters that bemoaned love lost.  A crazed female vocal shrieks atop the skittering beats ("Baby!"), piercing the air with shrill excitement while a laid back MC challenges, "don't pop, boi."
                            

If these hectic tracks are any indication, the next Burial album is gonna be a game changer

Pictureplane blowing up

Another messy house track by Pictureplane.  This one seems decidedly less downtrodden.  Even when his older material was aimed at the dance floor, its hands were always still firmly in its pockets.

Kind of a slow burner but its worth it.

Ramadanman Works Them

Track speaks for itself.  
Ramadanman goes in heavy on a vocal loop and some 808s.

peep this slowed down version just for kicks

Martyn - Miniluv

Listen to UK producer Martyn's new track Miniluv here.

The guys at Berghain in Berlin love him, going as far as releasing  the track on their latest comp Berghain 04.  Blurring the lines between techno, dubstep and house, Martyn scores again.

Hyph Mngo Edits

Last summer's jam
remixed for this summer.



Heres two alternate takes:







Number one come from Ben Jurrassik.  Adding some jungle breaks to Joy Orbison's debut track seams like a obvious choice but it works nicely

Slowed down, Andreas Saag locks it into a four-to-the-floor beat with some deep bass tones.

Weclome to Death Row: Unreleased

The crew from Compton is back! Well sort of. Well not really at all. But a ridiculous amount of unreleased music has just been made available for download thanks to the guys at Steady Bloggin.


Over a period of five years Death Row put out some of the most memorable hip hop the world has ever seen. This mix provides a kind of parallel story to what we saw and heard.
If only Snoop from '93 could see the clown hes become. Oh well. Enjoy
