I’m all about breakbeat/hip hop beats made by white boys from the UK lately – Hudson Mohawke and Bullion are really doing it for me lately. I am looking forward to Hudson Mo’s album – it is some futuristic, space-hop that Outkast and the Stones Throw crew would be very proud of. Pre-order your limited edition “Butter” bundle here.

Neon Gold Records latest artist, the blog turned label that have released acts such as Passion Pit and Marina & The Diamonds presents NYC’s Penguin Prison. Penguin Prison channels some early George Michael on this tune, a pristine pop tune with bouncy synths that remind me slightly of Miike Snow, maybe it is the Animal theme as well. A very 80s-white man doing world music-pop a la Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon & The Police seems to be making a comeback lately (ie. Friendly Fires’ “Kiss of Life”) – and there is nothing wrong with that and I am all for it. Check out “Animal Animal”.

Once again cheers, Hyperbole for turning me onto this.

Shinichi Osawa & team up to create this monster of a track – bang it out loud. They take parts of Shinichi’s remix of Cazals’ “Poor Innocent Boys” which samples that falling noisy synth from Human Resources’ “Dominator” and throw in a little breakdown from Shinichi’s cover of “Star Guitar” – and presto – a banger of a track.
