I cannot stop listening to this mix by Fantastic Mr Fox – amazing tracklist and overall vibe. You can’t go wrong with all those Jamie XX tracks especially “Far Nearer” (I need this track!) as well as some Gold Panda and quite an amazing remix of Usher “Nice & Slow”.

The electronic/dance world is infatuated with the one and only GUCCI MANE, the rapper that has taken rap onto a level of absurd that has not been seen before in the mainstream world. He embodies all that is “swag” and “I don’t give a fuck” in the rap world. The Brits decided to take on his swagitutde by re-working Gucci’s party jams into swagtastic UK club tracks. Download the mixtape compiled by Sinden here. Listen to some of my fav cuts below, I am definitely surprised to see These New Puritans on this comp. BURRRR

Warp’s own Clark crafted this DJ mix for BBC a few weeks ago. It is yet another great example of Warp’s quality of artists and what we all can look forward to from them and their top-notch roster. I love what Clark does to Dorian Concept’s “Trilingual Sex Experience”.

I have been listening to this just over a minute sampler of Bibio’s upcoming album “Mind Bokeh” for the past week and a half. I have probably listened to it about 50 times. I have tweeted and posted it on Facebook enough to declare it my album of 2011 even though this is the only bit of the album I have heard. It is every element of Bibio turned up to 11 – from his amazing beat-making, his lo-fi found sound experiments, his beautiful jazz/classical guitar all mixed and blurred with his amazing grasp of Pop music.

Out March 28 in the US and April 4 worldwide on Warp Records.

Tame Imapala brought me one of my favorite records of 2010, “Innerspeaker” – a tastefully psychedelic collection of tunes that paid homage to the album format, a medium that is not as respected or properly executed as it was years before. Mr. Alkan swoops and transforms “Why Won’t You Make Up Your Mind” into a fuzzed out disco track. Who knew harmonized distorted guitars could be so satisfying on the dancefloor.
