Yet another candid and fun Take Away Show courtesy of La Blogotheque this time capturing the one and only Jamie Lidell.

So apparently Major Lazer & La Roux banger collab broke the Mad Decent server. I guess everyone is desperate for some new summer party jams and this is exactly what this mixtape is, nothing more nothing less. Be sure to check out The Creators Project video piece on the genius and madness that is Diplo. He is just a dude that just gets it.

Connan Mockasin is Phantasy latest little muse/release, a freak-a-delic weirdo from New Zealand. I consider his album “Please Turn Me Into Snat” what the latest MGMT album should’ve been, instead of that mediocre watered down hippie jargon. And with acts like Connan and Tame Impala making quality psychedelic music I dunno why anyone would give the new MGMT a second listen. Connan Mockasin’s album is a fantastic way to spend to spend 36 minutes of your life so pick up the album here at Rough Trade.

Mystery Jets first single off of their upcoming pop opus, Brace Yourself is “Dreaming of Another World”. A 70s dream pop tune with a chorus that you have to let wash over you. I love that Pinglewood.com calls Mystery Jets – “Posi-pop” because their music just makes me feel so good about the world.

“It’s time to live out the dreams in your head…”

Apparently Stoner Rock is cool again with acts like Tame Impala making some moves with their fuzzed out psycho-delic Aussie rock. Wooden Shjips steps in and trips out the Mystery Jets’ polished pop sound and takes the tune to another world.

The Warp Records artists formally known as Pivot return with some more math rock goodness with their upcoming album “Church With No Magic”. Fun video and fun tune.

This Kavsrave’s Quotes EP is a massive collection of tunes. BASS music at its finest. To coincide with the release of this 3 track EP, Kavsrave threw together this mix for NMBRS’ Podcast. Ginuwine, Ludacris into Hudson Mohawke – all in one amazing mix – fine by me. Be sure to check out the Quotes EP, “Baggage Handler and “PClart” are massive summer tunes that I have had on repeat for the past 2 weeks and probably will be for the rest of the summer.

BURNS somehow turns a wah-guitar lead line into a dancefloor banger. Loved this tune from the first time I heard it on DJ Mehdi’s Xmas Mix.

I might as well turn my blog into “Asian Dan Loves Australian Music” Blog. With “The Crystal Axis” almost upon us, 5.28.2010 be exact – the Juggernaut trio has provided us with some great remixes. One by KIM of The Presets, a dark house jam that oozes with Oceania pride. A dark psycho-delic spiral into the dancefloor vortex, just give in and dance. Be on the lookout for the Holy Trinity of remixes of “Vital Signs” by each member of the band, Vin, Andy, and Daniel, a sort of alternate ending as told by each member.

Check out the music video for “Vital Signs” – here.
