Blood Orange is the latest incarnation of the musical chameleon that is Dev Hynes. The first impression I had of Blood Orange was via his track “Dinner” a very tasteful nod to 90s RnB but that was not a barometer of what his full-length “Coastal Grooves” would sound like. Instead “Coastal Grooves” is a homage to 90s Alternative rock with its heavily guitar-driven songs. I particularly love how Dev uses percussive and cyclical guitar riffs to create a hypnotic and apathetic 90s vibe. “Forget It” with its pieced together guitar solo, “S’Cooled” with its early Phoenix-wannabe-RnB groove and “The Complete Knock” with its galloping bassline are all highlight tracks off the LP.
Your Truly presents a mixtape compiled by Dev himself featuring some songs that seem to have influenced his latest sound, listen and download it over @ yourstru.ly
Flying Lotus lends his hands to his right-hand man, Thundercat for this 30 min mix of Thundercat tracks in honor of “The Golden Age of Apocalypse” which is out 8.30.2011 on Brainfeeder. This is 30 mins of pure #summervibes – dive in y’all.

Whoa whoa this is way too smooth for the web. Bravo Mayer Hawthorne for bringing back the ways of Yacht Rock. I see what you did there Mr. Hawthorne with the little musical allusions to The Spinner’s “I’ll Be Around” and Steely Dan “Do It Again”. I know your secrets…

Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard embraces his UK House side with his new track “Gabriel”. Everything about this track is so “UK” with its emotional broken 2-step beat and murky bassline with an angelic female pouring her heart out onto the dancefloor.
Bibio graces the British popsters, Bombay Bicycle Club with his music magic. Everything down to the vocals sound like Bibio himself. What more can I say than, Bibio is the truth.

Hands down I can say that Hudson Mohawke has produced one of the best releases of 2011. This EP that clocks in just over 15 mins is the most cohesive release that HudMo has put out and could be a game changer for him. The third track “CBat” is definitely a crowd pleaser.
More info on “Satin Panthesr” here.
Rustie is Warp Records’ secret weapon with his productions that bend genres and distort your perceptions of electronic music. Rustie’s last release, the “Sunburst EP” showed the world raging guitar solos work next to hip-hop beats. I expect more of that on his full-length “Glass Swords” which is out 10.11.2011 on Warp – here is snippet of the title track “Glass Swords”, guitar solo included.
