Whaaaat thhhheeee…totally did not see this coming. With remixes along the talent of Grouper, Panda Bear and Burial, Phaseone quickly become a producer to keep an ear out for and with the sounds of this mixtape he may have just dropped one of 2009’s best. Finding future anthems in today’s already epic sounds, Phase has this ability to give weed goggles to anything he comes by. Elaborating on complex progressions, building beats in the absence of rhythm and making it not only recommended but absolutely necessary to crank the volume are just a few reasons to fall in love with the dude. Don’t think about downloading this tape, just fucking do it – NOW! It’s killer. Ahhh, I just got to the Radiohead remix.
edit: i just smoked and began relistening. once you get to that to the raekwon x blind man’s colour blend it’s a whole ‘nother planet. and that’s only the third tune…
Far too many awesome tracks dropped in the past week, so rather than taking a magnifying glass to each one lets set our memories straight and gorge like we just collected a heap o’ Halloween candy!
White Hinterland covered this decade’s 26th best tune and somehow made it audibly more impressive – yo p4k, lets get a recount! Casey Dienel, you’re oh so perfect. Pick this up from her tour-exclusive EP, Fresh From the Garden.
Fool’s Gold had to drop from our CMJ party and we’re all super bummed to be missing our Los Angeles brethren. However, when Phaseone gets his hands on anything we tend to smile a ton so it’s only natural that his work on “Surprise Hotel” has me drumming on my desk like Clipse’s “Grindin” just came out. Straight up gorgeous.
New jam from Pure Ecstasy courtesy of Friendship Bracelet. “EASY” floats along the top of the skyline bouncing off building tops and brushing against the base of clouds. Purce Ecstasy is the ice cream flavor that we dream about. Wow that can be taken out of context…just download and love. Pre-order the single here.
I’ll round this out with our long-time love affair White Rainbow. Since we’ve been jamming out to White Rainbow boogie has not been the first word that comes to mind but if you caught Adam on the Dan Deacon/No Age/Deerhunter round robin tour he was breaking beats like no one’s business! Well, maybe GDFX if he threw in some badass samples. Here’s a recent tune.
I FELT LIKE I WAS ON DRUGS
BUT I WAS NOT ON DRUGS
I NEEDED TO THINK ABOUT THE UNIVERSE AFTER IT ALL HAPPENED

Panda Bear fans rejoice, Noah Lennox’s set at ATP has been recorded and is currently up for free online distribution courtesy of the good folks at WFMU and Collected Animals. Download here, setlist and news of a new Panda Bear album after the jump!
Seams‘ video for “Glitch,” stitched together using footage from the public domain archives, seems to accentuate an impending doom due to our industrial reliance on computers. Yeah, we’re no worried about that one either. If you’re diggin’ these sounds, Seams has been ever so kind to let us download Juvenile Rush free on his bandcamp plus stems for the remixing heads out there. About a week ago I said I’d share his remix of Bibio’s “All The Flowers,” so here ya go. Seams would go really well in a live outdoor environment with Phaseone…damn, that’d be an attractive night. Throw some Dntel into that mix and well, I think I better keep the rest of that comment to myself.
It has been three years today since the death of J Dilla and his influence on beats and the hip-hop way of life has not at all lessened. St. Louis’ Phaseone works his usual charm with this delicate spin on Donuts standout “Walkinonit.” Watch Erykah Badu [as gorgeous as ever] talk about hip-hop and her intentions with “The Healer” here. Live video below.
