Lucky Paul is a New Zealander by the way of Berlin that produces some spaced out psychedelic tunes, think Bullion meets Kindiness’ disco pop appeal. “Elephant Island” is out February 13 on somethinksounds. Be sure to catch Lucky Paul on tour this year as he fills in on drums in Feist’s touring band. Also be sure to check out a live 7 min improvised jam as Lucky Paul literally walks around his flat in Berlin sampling everything in his household.
Bonus: A tasteful re-work of the late and great Etta James.

The LOL Boys are slowly on their way to becoming LOL Men. This time they team up with their the lovely Caylery to make some grown’n’sexy music by way of the one and only Terius Nash aka The-Dream. This is a serious re-visioning of The-Dream, taking him into some deep territory.
If you missed the almighty Breakbot on tour with Chromeo, then you missed out on an epic music history dance lesson. Fear not here is a taste of how he schooled North America with his musical knowledge.
Bonus: The legendary Rick Rubin “ruins” the Justice boys with his very straightforward disco breakbeat remix of “On’n’On”. I was thinking this was gonna be a bigger rock and roll remix since it was in the hands of Mr. Rubin but I guess not…
