Montreal production duo Adventure Club dropped this remix of our bud James Vincent McMorrow on their soundcloud a couple days ago. We’ve had it on deep rotation since. Dubstep refuge for the dubstep weary.

Bay Area singer Maya Hruby has been on our radar for a minute now. Her smooth vocal stylings and eclectic yet souful aesthetic inform possibly her best track yet on “Stereolab (Lose Myself)”. p.s. check the vid directed by another b3sci fav, Jesse Boykins III.

Saadiq appeared on Gilles Peterson’s show this week and previewed much of the material from his upcoming Stone Rollin’ LP. Wow, just wow. We heard much of the new material played out live during SXSW but hearing the recorded versions, the album is just crazy. Stone Rollin’ will no doubt be one of the best records of the year. Mark it!

PJ Harvey said that at 41, she wasn’t going to write in the same way she did years ago. In her case, I’d say time is treating her well. “The Words That Maketh Murder” is my fave song of hers to date, and what takes it over the top for me are the killer backing vocals. (Program note: My weekly Go Deep show on Moheak Radio returns Friday, April 22 after a two-week hiatus.)

Hottest Record in the World on Zane Lowe today. Big tune. With the right push (which seems now to be set in motion) it could be a massive track.

New shit from b3sci favs BretonLABS. The London production team takes tourmates’ Esben and the Witch’s track “Warpath” for a spin reworking it with some heavier beat textures and retouched synth voicings to give it that extra cool BretonLABS shine.

Karen Elson’s soulful “The Birds They Circle”, from last year’s solid The Ghost That Walks gets the vid treatment via her husband rock and roll’s Jack White. The feel of the clip matches up well with the song, the ominous lighting, the shadows, the stark deeply colored background, all sort of frame “The Birds They Circle’s” forboding, almost ghostly sensibilities.

Damn, Atlantic really fucked up with Lasers, the record is still solid, it is Lupe after all, but hearing some of these outtakes that “didn’t make the record”, Lasers could’ve been a modern classic. Way to go Atlantic.
