Theophilus London I Stand Alone (Ocelot Remix) by TheophilusLondon

Birdman feat. Lil Wayne – “Fire Flame (Remix):”

Beautiful video for a beautiful song.

Theophilus London – Why Even Try (RAC Remix) by TheophilusLondon

Great cover of Elton John’s track. Goulding is quite multifaceted.

Oh, she also has the Midas touch.

Boards of Canada also made a hot remix of the “Midas Touch,” under the moniker “Hell Interface.”

On that same vinyl release was another track that you really should holler at as well.

The last Boom Bip track we listened to was “Last Walk Around Mirror Lake,” which by the way, Boards of Canada did an awesome remix of:

It’s a pretty fitting remix because Boom Bip and BOC have a similar sound to us, but they both have their own unique flavors. Here’s the teaser for the forthcoming Boom Bip release:

Lex Records will release Boom Bip’s Zig Zaj September 27, 2011. Zig Zaj features guest spots from Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand, Money Mark, Luke Steele (Empire of the Sun, Sleepy Jackson), singer-songwriter Cate Le Bon, and Mikey Noyce (Bon Iver, Gayngs.)

Zig Zaj breaks new sonic ground while simultaneously underscoring the strengths Boom Bip fans already appreciate, particularly his ear for distinctive timbres and off-kilter rhythms. On “Tum Tum,” polychromatic percussion volleys back-and-forth atop a bed of slow-moving keyboard textures. With its menacing bass line, the clattering “Pele” makes a perfect complement to early Public Image Ltd on a mix tape or playlist. Permeated with invigorating fuzz and distorted vocals by Money Mark, “Manabozh” sounds like the theme music for a futuristic blood sport, a disquieting yet muscular mélange of triumph and tragedy. Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand brings the brooding “Goodbye Lovers and Friends” to life.

In addition to the nucleus of the Boom Bip live band, the participants frequently included Josh Klinghoffer (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Eric Gardner (Gnarls Barkley, Charlotte Gainsbourg), Josiah Steinbrick of F-Minus and members of LA post-punk group Warpaint.

Boom Bip has been creating mind blowing soundscapes for over a decade beginning with a collab with Dose One on Circle for Mush which led to the release of his first solo album Seed to Sun on Lex in 2002, a remix album Corymd (2004), Blue Eyed in the Red Room (2005) and his collab with Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, Neon Neon’s Mercury Prize nominated Stainless Steel in 2008. A critically acclaimed, multi-faceted producer, Boom Bip has graced the covers BPM and URB magazine among others.

Why is Ellie Goulding so freaking awesome? This post is way past due, even though we’ve already posted about her.

Black Fabio is where it’s at. Destined for big things.

Black Fabio – Reggie Miller ft. Toni Royale by Rad Summer

Black Fabio continues to school the masses on the art of panty-dropping with their new series “Love Tips” and single “Reggie Miller”:

Everyone knows that Black Fabio is an expert on how to seduce young ladies. Wanting to share that knowledge with novice gigolos around the world, Black Fabio teamed up with the film crew from Let’s Do Lunch with Oreo Jones to craft an educational series of videos titled “Love Tips from Black Fabio”. The debut episode of “Love Tips” finds Black Fabio extolling the sophisticated taste and aphrodisiac powers of Boone’s Farm wine. Nothing but the best for Black Fabio’s lovers!

The Black Fabio mixtape by Oreo Jones and Action Jackson continues set hearts aflame across the internet. For the past 2 weeks, their single “Reggie Miller” has been featured on SIRIUS XMU’s My Old Kentucky Blog’s blog radio show. If you dig the track, we’d really appreciate it if you’d <3 and Tweet the record from Hypem.com so we can make our way up their Twitter chart!

When Oreo Jones debuted his Halloween costume last year Black Fabio, no one expected it to spawn a concept mixtape that keeps you dancing and laughing front to back. Nine months later and with the help of Action Jackson, that is exactly what’s been created. Just as Fabio was never constrained by wearing a shirt, OJ and Jackson chose not to be encumbered by genre and drew from anything including rap to post-punk to moombahton. The “Black Fabio” mixtape is an unique collection of 14 tracks that tell the saga of the titular character. Starting with the title track and moving forward through “Niagara Falls”, Oreo and Action prove why they are two of the most creative emerging artists. “Black Fabio” is available for FREE DOWNLOAD or STREAM now!

And don’t forget, if you live in the LA area, there’s a show with Chiddy Bang, Wallpaper. and Swizz Beats in Hollywood tomorrow! We’ll be there, will you? Buy tix here.

We said it before and we’ll say it again: we loves us some Mochi.

Mochipet is back with a banging new release: Chicxulub.

Mochipet’s latest release on 1320 Records ‘Chicxulub’, is the soundtrack for an animated novel in which the Dinosaurs make their way through the impact of the comet believed to have destroyed them. The album starts off with a highly compressed glitch-hop bass number ‘Dinosaur Anthems’ signaling the dark that is arriving along to where ‘Yoshi’s Dinosaur Egg Hunt’ guides you through Fraggle Rawk-style landscapes in search of the young that are left to live on. The Dinosaurs eventually leave the planet, taking off in their ‘Pterodactyl Spaceship’ to new undiscovered lands. But they do not make it out easily; there are a number of alien life forms that have invaded in ‘The Battle of Dinotropolis’ (Featuring Ben Samples). With everything destroyed all that is left are ‘Fossils’ and our prehistoric creatures are left to find ‘A Home Away From Home.’ So ‘Ghost Ride The Ark’ to Outer Space we go! Whether our Dino friends make it to their new homes is unsure as ‘I Really Don’t Think We Are Ok ACE.’ The Saga is To Be Continued…

Crushing beats that are reminiscent of The Glitch Mob with that sweet Mochipet flavor. If you want to get wild in the club, or just enjoy this record at home, the track selection will allow you to do either.

Check out this track from the album:

No. He’s not playing. Music extravaganza. This just dropped yesterday.

LM009 – LUNICE – ONE HUNNED by LuckyMe Music.Art.Parties

From August 16th 2011 the long awaited follow up to Stacker Upper is available worldwide on digital and 12″ vinyl.

Six new tracks showcasing this kids dynamic, spaced-out trap music. This release has equal influences of Neptunes and Araab Muzik’s futuristic Hip Hop glow as the innovations and mutations of UK underground dance music. Includes the heavyweights ʻI See Uʼ & ʻBricksʼ currently getting run on Kiss, Rinse and BBC Radio One. Digital release also features remixes by Girl Unit (Night Slugs) & The Blessings.

So proud of this one. Lunice is one of the best people on the planet.

Swag for days.

The latest mix from The Abrahammer is a good mash-up mix. There are some samples that Girl Talk has used, but then again Girl Talk used samples that were previously used by Kid606 years before. Honestly, we’d rather hear mash-up than most of these original songs, because by now all of the originals have become so boring. For instance, would we ever listen to John Mellencamp? Hell no. Add his instrumentals to Jay-Z and ODB and that’s a different story though. To us, mash-up is like the future of DJing, unless you’re some kind of musical purist and you want to hear original songs untouched. If that’s the case, though, why not just listen to music at home? Most pop music is boring and mashing it up makes it more interesting. Wouldn’t even want to listen to these originals on their own because there’s nothing unexpected about them.

That Adele song – “Rolling In The Deep,” is super boring now. If it were edited and chopped up, then maybe we wouldn’t rather have silence than that playing.
