Mixtapes, Mon Dieu!
With so many mixtapes to share, there’s no way I’m letting you wait until next Monday. Here’s some of the stuff I came across, featuring Joy Orbison, Hudson Mohawke, Dâm-Funk and 4hero.
Seiji vs Bembe Segue – Get it Together
This is what many have waited for in the last years: A new track with Bembe Segue on vocals, produced by Seiji in a fashion that many know him for.
Volume 01 – mixed by Swede:art
Ever since I started this blog, I have been thinking about adding a podcast. Today, I’m proud to present you its first edition, which was put together by German producer Swede:art.
Aardvarck – Titi
Amsterdam’s Mike Kivits must be considered one of the best in the city’s rich music scene and luckily he is also very busy to maintain this status. His debut on the Eat Concrete label came out last month and it’s his 4th solo album already.
Yours Truly presents Nosaj Thing
Los Angeles beatmaker Nosaj Thing is currently touring through Europe, so consider this video from Yours Truly as a taste-maker if you haven’t decided going yet.
Daniel Wang presents Balihu 1993-2008
For their latest release, Amsterdam’s Rush Hour label teamed up with the legendary Daniel Wang to release a retrospective of the last 15 years of his Balihu label.
José James – Blackmagic (Remixes)
As second album from José James has been delayed for a release in early 2010, fans of the New York jazz-singer will be delighted to hear that his new single Blackmagic (Remixes) will come out on November 1st.
Weekly Bits 42/2009
Another week of news from nutriot favourites Mayer Hawthorne and Dorian Concept, an immense Miles Davis collection, TOKiMONSTA being accepted by RBMA and of course some free downloads for you!

Last week, the mighty Flying Lotus celebrated his birthday. What better way to celebrate is there, but invite some friends in and play some music with them.
Saturn Never Sleeps
In this video, King Britt talks about his Saturn Never Sleeps project which he curates with his fiancée, the multimedia artist Rucyl Mills.
The Clonious – Armoury Hardaway
With The Clonious’ debut Between the Dots finally out in stores, L.A. Record is giving away a track from the album. To give it some more boost, I’m adding this track from a compilation of last year’s Elevate festival.
fLako x Amenta – Do You
Whether its the tight production or his sure hand for picking great vocalists, everything fLako touches lately turns into a big chunk of gold. Here’s his new tune I’m loving right now.
VERSUS at Cité de la Musique
When I wrote Carl Craig presents Tribe, I remembered another of his performances in Paris together with Les Siècles orchestra and pianist Francesco Tristano.

Mayer Hawthorne – The Ills
It’s my favourite track off his album A Strange Arrangement and it will be sold exclusively on Mayer Hawthorne’s European Tour. Here’s an (unofficial) video for the track.
Silkie – City Limits Volume 1
Silkie’s debut album on Mala’s Deep Medi label came out at the end of July, which is probably the reason why it didn’t get much attention outside the dubstep scene.
Harmonic 313 on Viral Radio
This week, Viral Radio has very special guest Mark Pritchard, who brought lots of new music from his new Africa Hitech project and some new Harmonic 313 bits as well.
Erik Rico
I think I first mentioned Erik Rico on this blog in my review of Blacktropolis Vol. 1, today I got a video for you.
Waajeed – Tetris
If you didn’t get yourself a copy of Scion’s Blu Jemz compilation, then you missed one of the best compilations of a year. LA Record offers a free track from the CD.
Débruit German Tour 2009
Just a video announcing Débruit’s tour through Germany this October. If you’re around make sure to check one of his live-shows, otherwise just enjoy the video.
Bugz in the Attic – Booty La La (Ishfaq remix)
Ishfaq’s remix of the Bugz in the Attic hit single “Booty La La” has been around for ages, but I’m taking its recent upload to SoundCloud as opportunity to give it a rewind.
