It seems that hanging out with Daryl Hall has rubbed off on the Chromeo boys. “Don’t Turn The Lights On” is the first single off of “Business Casual” which sounds like their version of “I Can’t Go For That” – which I feel is amazing. Every band should aspire to write tunes like Hall & Oates.
I witnessed Flying Lotus live twice opening for Atoms for Peace back in April and it was quite the mind-bending sonic assault. He tastefully de-constructs and mashes his tunes with unsuspecting songs by the likes of Mr. Oizo, Portishead, Burial and Radiohead. The one and only Mary Anne Hobbs invited FlyLo to her stage at Sonar 2010 which happened last week in Barcelona. For those of you not there to witness it here is a 21 min sample of Flying Lotus’ magic.
FYI he drops his remix of Mr. Oizo x Gaspard Auge’s “Rubber” in the middle of the set.

American Men are LuckyMe Records first band to be signed to the label that is home to the magical Hudson Mohawke, Rustie and Machine Drum, to name a few. American Men channels Hudson Mohawke’s pristine production (just take a listen to those drums) with the aesthetic and vibe of Warp Records bands, PVT and Battles. By fusing man and machine – drums, guitars, laptops, synths, and samplers galore in order to blur the line of what is producing sound.
Is it man created the machine that is making the noise is it the machine that is teaching man to make noise…?
Pickup the release “Cool World” to experience this sonic assault as well as amazing re-workings and re-visions by FaltyDL, Ikonika, Machine Head and Hudson Mohawke.

The Aussie duo Gypsy & The Cat have an album in the works for all of us with some great remixes lined up. Here is one of them by UK producer Wax Stag who is most known for remixing a favorite artist of mine, Bibio. This remix is a very simple and concise production that highlights how strong the vocal melody of the original song is, showcasing that it is the simple and lonely elements that really give a song its true character.

Today marks the official start of Summer and Luca C & Brigante, the Balearic disco duo tastefully re-edits one of my favorite Italian Pop songs by Lucio Battisti “Amarsi Un Po”. A tune I discovered via Jean Nipon on his Freedom Fries Mix. Just in time for the sunshine.

Soulwax remixing LCD Soundsystem is not an uncommon thing in the dance world. But it is always a collaboration we can count on being oh so good and undeniably danceable. I love that the Dewaele Bros really retain the “song” elements and structure of the original track in this remix. It is the usual “boom-chk-boom-chk” drums that Soulwax has perfected with that chunky monophonic distorted bassline that we know and love. Now all we need is some new original material from the Soulwax bros as well as that remix of Late of the Pier’s “Best in The Class”.
ABSURD. Just like life.
Pre-Order “Star” – here for $4.99 and receive half of the album NOW! Do it.

Asian Dan Intern Sam strikes back with one of his favorite release of the year by Jimmy Whoo.
“It’s finally here, Jimmy Whoo’s first EP is out! The Parisian producer entitled his debut EP, “Parisfornication” which is released through Bunker Sounds. Including six amazing tracks, including Bleep Music (which we have been talking about a few months ago earlier in February on the blog). It countains sick instrumentals and some very interesting vocals. Jimmy has been working with some of his close friends on this project such as Gab B and Da Big Loubensky. All the tracks have been mastered by Dave Cooley from LA who has worked with the legendary J Dilla. You can buy his EP here. Check out Jimmy Whoo on Facebook.
