CANT : Be Around

Here is an exclusive B-Side Dossier is giving away from Chris Taylor’s side project/Terrible Records collective entitled “Be Around”. It is a 7 min dark synth pop tune that conjures up images of Sebastien Tellier circa his “Sexuality” days, coincidently a member of Sebastien Tellier’s band is playing in CANT’s live band.

White Denim : Hot Thought

White Denim is a band I ignored for a longtime just because of their band name. I assumed they were just some generic lo-fi, sloppy, garage rock band from Austin. But I was quite wrong once I saw them down at SXSW this year. A perfect blend of proggy noodling and Pop with an over the top Rock energy. Their album “Last Day of Summer” was on repeat all this past Spring and Summer. “Hot Thought” is a bonus track off their latest release, “D”. “Hot Thought” is one of the most straight forward Pop sounding tracks of theirs that channels some of the Yacht Rock greats. Watch out of the super smooth Steely Dan chorus on “Hot Thought”

Daft Punk : Drive Unreleased 1994 [Soma]

Soma Records is here to celebrate their 20th Anniversary with this rare artifact of the shape of Daft Punk to come. This unreleased demo track untitled, “Drive” is pre-cursor to all that we know was Daft today. My favorite thing about hearing this unreleased tune is catching all the Daft elements that have been carried through all their songs and can still be heard in their tracks to this day. This track definitely became Daft Punk’s “Rock’n Roll”.

Buy the 20 Year Anniversary CD set here.

Thom Yorke’s MoneyBack Mix for Mary Anne Hobbs’ “Response”on XFM

With the roster of producers/DJs that Thom recruited for their King of Limbs remix album, you can tell that Thom is quite in the know with his contemporary electronic music. Thom is clear on his way to fulfilling his destiny as “DJ Thom”. I love that Thom finds a way to sneak in some Fela Kuti into this 44 min mix for the lovely Mary Anne Hobbs.

Boston Bun Presents LEAN HOUSE MIXTAPE vol. 1

So you maybe asking yourself, “What is Lean House?” Well it is the latest from some of Paris’ movers and shakers lead by a French newcomer, Boston Bun. I feel like Lean House Europe’s answer to America’s own Moombahton but with a touch of Euro class #purplestuff. Sometime you just need to slow your roll and take life in at 108 bpm…

“Do we really need to explain why we scew and chop our favorite house tracks? This is a dedication to H-Town, from Paris with love, RIP DJ SCREW. HOUSIZZURP, SLOW MO ON THE DANCEFLOOR”
