Electric Wire Hustle – “They Don’t Want”

electricwire1

“they don’t want” is new from wellington, new zealand-based act electric wire hustle. how RIDICULOUS is this track? how CRAZY are the vocal chops on singer Mara TK? how PERFECT is the melding of diverse yet complimentary influences? (Marvin, Dilla, Mingus, etc) how DOPE are the production choices and instrumentation? HOLY SHIT! THESE GUYS ARE THE REAL DEAL! OUR MINDS ARE STRAIGHT BLOWN!

Everything Everything – My Keys, Your Boyfriend

everything-everything3

everything everything are an exciting new band emerging from the manchester scene. fusing pop-conscious r&b, avant-garde experimental and classic madchester, the band pay no mind to traditional genre boundaries! everything everything are one ambitious bunch, but to the band’s credit, they seem to temper that ambition with at least an equal tonnage of wit. we’re right psyched on ee.’s potential, and for now the smokin’ chorus on “MY KZ YR BF” will hold us over until we’re able to get our grimy yank paws on an official full length debut. the “MY KZ YR BK” single is available on download & 7″ oct. 5, 09.

IN THE MIX: Young Buck, Hudson Mohawke, De La Soul

buck

tuesday morning? young buck is fuckin amped! “lord have mercy” features the outlaws and puts mr ten a key up on a smooth as shit, buttery beat. (where buck right belongs) shouts to wyatt! hudson mohawke, freshly inked to warp records, resurrects the rotting r&b corpse of turn of the millennium timbo provocateur tweet. hudmo 2009’s “oooops!” with a pulsing electro beat and some killer synth flourishes. lastly, 20 years into game de la soul continue to school mc’s half their ages. “la la la” again proves de la in top form; flowing effortlessly over a beat that is both complimentary and compelling.

Young Buck – “Lord Have Mercy” (Feat. The Outlawz)
Tweet – “Ooops! (Hudson Mohawke Remix)
De La Soul – “La La La”

Black Moth Super Rainbow – The Sticky

blackmothsuperrainbow4

off their most recent and 4th LP Eating Us, “The Sticky” throws down some serious grooves… of which are complimented by a vocal that’s ironically both naff yet complacent. BMSR’s eclectic instrumentation helps hold down some midwest psychedelic pop that keeps it real..

The Horrors – Whole New Way

thehorrors2

straight from the tracks of damon albarn’s studio 13, the horrors new single “Whole New Way” was originally a Japan only b-side release. re-recording it was definitely a good idea, the tune is clearly more than a b-side. it shines a solid pop track with the sort of creepy feel-good dance vibes that could only come from the horrors… and well quite a few other bands. it totally makes me think of the “i’d fuck me” scene from silence of the lambs too. the single drops november 2 via XL, and the track is available to stream on their website right now.. what could you possibly be waiting for??

Freddie Joachim – “Splendor”

joachim1

we continue to be blown away with each successive freddie joachim release. “splendor” is taken from the 5-song “getaway” EP. “getaway” can be downloaded here for free. the ep is killer and in our opinion spotlights some of freddie joachim’s best work to date. we really dig the just awesome feel put into his records. there is an authenticity and classic quality to freddie’s music that evidences him as one to no doubt keep ears/eyes on.
