Fortunate for Brother they have taste for Oasis’ best music. “Still Here” would line up sharp next to “Cigarettes & Alcohol” and “Digsy’s Dinner”. jk Noel! p.s. trying to find a picture of Brother on google images that’s not Jonas Brother or Naked Brothers (WTF) is sort of tough. The magic keyword is “Slough”.

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.

Paris producer Kaptain Cadillac picks up Scrap on this mint new remix of “Look At Me”. The weekend of Apr 8-10 has met its official dance anthem. Money got legs so of course we gotta chase it.

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.
