Kev's already said an awful lot of (apt) things about South Carolinan Chaz Bundick and the frothy songs he makes as Toro Y Moi , so we'll forgo the gratuitous metaphors and just politely explain that "Blessa" opens the first Toro Y Moi LP, Causers Of ...

We were just listening to this Voodeux song and thought our headphones had been invaded by crotchety insects. Nope, just the tunes again. It appeared in edited form on Claude VonStroke 's Fabric.46 , and not so coincidentally lands here in advance of the microhouse duo's live gig at the ...

The sound of cracking knuckles and banging skulls, this refix of The Count & Sinden 's "Strange Things" aims for funky house (it's in the driving snare drums) but still ends up scaring all the ladies away. The MC may plead for "lots of hugging and kissing" but he ...

AmpLive ’s one of those behind-the-scenes DJs you know on a subconscious level—he’s produced Akon , Tokyo Police Club and MGMT while remixing Radiohead to critical acclaim. Today we’ve got a fresh track off the new “Gary is a Robot” EP—well-tread ...

Norah Jones collaborated with folks like Ryan Adams and Will Sheff of Okkervil River on her new LP, The Fall , but for the forthcoming Chasing Pirates Remix EP she's handed a few of those tunes over to Santigold , Beck , and two-thirds of the Beastie Boys (get well soon, MCA!) for ...

Todd Edwards is something of a regaled figure in dance music. His nickname is "The God," for chrissakes. The New Jersey house legend (and, as no one will let you forget, one-time Daft Punk collaborator) is playing Flashing Lights in New York this Friday (12/4) alongside ...

French psych aficionado Romain Turzi named his first record A and titled all of its songs to being with that letter, so naturally the second one is – wait for it– B . It's out now in Europe through Record Makers and harbors this sweeping, hyper-cinematic instrumental ...

In celebration of the full “I Love London” single release today on Kitsuné , we have yet another Crystal Fighters exclusive to gift. This time Qoso — Fool House ’ s newest tropical child—tweaks the Spanish ravers into a hardcore-esque, spacevoid edit, ...

There aren't many people who can do 'trad-rock' without putting your brain to sleep. Like Kurt Vile and Black Lips , Cass McCombs manages to carve his own niche in the hard, stoney face of rock tradition, though his offerings are less raucous, kick back jams for down-time drinking. Let ...

Since the Blood Brothers broke up in 2007, there have been a handful of projects assembled from that one-of-a-kind braintrust. Of those, Suicide Squeeze 's Past Lives are the most similarly bent, jumbling crazed polyrhythms and daft nasal yelps into mini-barrages like "Hex Takes ...

The four dead deer inspectors in that photograph are Sisters Of Transistors , a quartet of female organ players from Manchester. Someone missing from that picture is Graham Massey, founding member of legendary Mancunian house outfit 808 State . Massey plays drums live with his Sisters and ...

Fan Death has always made disco sound dangerous. But this killer remix by Toronto duo CCENTURIESS whips “Reunited” into black sky oblivion. Weaving in and out of Dandilion and Marta’s milk-soaked vocals is a roller-derby darkness that devolves into claps and clangs, and ...
Hip Hop
Veteran Bavarian indie band The Notwist managed to solicit this rare Grizzly Bear remix for their upcoming single, "Come In," which is coinciding with a one-off UK show with The Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra at London's Union Chapel on December 12 (the single's out two ...

Every element of this Best Coast song adds to its effortlessness: the slow open, the major/minor chord changes, the harmonies that blow in for the refrain, the bridge mantra ("I hate sleeping alone.") This is what we wish Weezer records still sounded like, obvious gender issues ...

Instrumental metal is either your thing or it isn't, unless we're talking about Pelican . They're not Sunn O))), you know? Dudes aren't soft, but the sludge they kick around is more cerebral than it is oppressive. And you don't have to know Calculus to find the first ...

I know what you're thinking, but Othello Woolf isn't just a copy of that other theatrical singing Wolf from London. One less 'o' for a start, and his sound is more louche and relaxed than Patrick's heavy breathing, Golden Silvers ' remix of "Stand" acknowledging that with bass ...
