New mix from Rotterdam's Elitechnique. We have posted some tracks awhile back and now, just in time for the holidays Remco sends over their winter mix. I highly recommend you check it out. Elitechnique certainly has the pulse on this emerging disco house electro movement that is going on. Check it out.

I have been anticipating more tracks for Jay Electronica for sometime. He and Just Blaze have finally released a quality version of their track "Exhibit C" (there have been various radio rips floating around for a minute). "Exhibit A (Transformations)" was pretty awesome...these two gentleman are making some great stuff and I am real excited for Jay's debut project. Check out what Filter/Wikipedia has to say about the project.
According to a Filter TV interview, Jay Electronica has partnered with Decon to release his debut project. It is being described as a multi-media release and footage from the project which was partially shot in Nepal and Dubai has begun to surface online. The first clip to leak is titled "Dear Moleskin" and can be found on here (the track was produced by Just Blaze and the clip was directed by Jason Goldwatch from Decon.
For those that don't live on earth here is the new video for the track "One Life Stand." The gentleman of Hot Chip have a knack for continually churning out pop electronic gold. Check it out.
Save yourself some money this holiday season by winning this limited edition 7" inch for your eccentric music listening friend. This is the latest entry in the FADER/Southern Comfort 7" Series series featuring new and unreleased tracks from SALEM + Tanlines. The minimalist music of SALEM makes for so great laidback studying or relaxing music...you can listen to Tanlines over at Fader.
Lo-fi minimalist electronic pop. Music is "Feel it All Around" the single off the Life of Leisure EP. Really great sounding album that you should check out.
This is what the future sounds like boys and girls. Give this a spin. Sound is absolutely amazing. Vintage MJ and Quincy stuff here...I keep talking about this dude like a broken record but his production is remarkable.
Been in love with this song for a couple weeks now. Certainly up there for one of my favorite tracks of the year. Check out the video.
I used to be obsessed with listening to 80's new wave electro pop while in high school and early on in college. While listening to 80's in the late 90's wasn't really "cool" I have always loved the heavy bass and synth that dominated the 80's sound. Its great to see this coming back with some new acts (Chromeo, Van She, Valerie Collective etc.).
If you haven't picked up El Guincho's Alegranza album I really think you should. While my comprehension of spanish is low, the record really is fantastic. El Guincho has rewarded us with a single release for the track "Antillas." This single is released along with a single for "Kalise" as well.
RJD2 has been one of those artists I kind of lost track of. I went bananas about his first two albums (Deadringer & Since We Last Spoke) in college listening to them obsessively then just kind of started listening to other stuff and forgot about him and would listen to him hear and there. I have always remained a fan and I love that he is open to trying new sounds and his projects with rappers like MHz, Blueprint and Aceyalone.
I would be remiss to mention a day I have never forgotten since high school. Today many know it has "Black Friday" but it is also Buy Nothing day. Say no to consumerism by staying home, going for a walk or just relaxing. Don't let cheap thrills rope you in. Help in celebrating a 24-hour moratorium on consumer spending. One of the best ways we can make a difference is in consuming less. Peace.
