BustedBASS and I have been working on a live project we’re calling CHAMPION at the moment, and this track from Chilean wonder Barretso is definitely going to be in our catalog. This track only gets better at all the right moments. Stay tuned for more show info/mixes to be up in the next couple of weeks.

Barretso – Midnight Walk

If there was any artist that truly encapsulated our Sounds Of Summer feature, it’d be Monster Rally. Glowing tropical samples thrown over sparse beats is keeping my mind off of the summer heat, and his DOOM remix is so chill. This summer is really cruising by. You can find most of his material for free at his bandcamp.

Monster Rally – The Wolf

Monster Rally – A Voice

DOOM – Vomit (Monster Rally Remix)

I’ve really been getting into SALEM‘s sound over the last few weeks, and this remix of These New Puritans‘ Hologram is tremendous. You can pre-order King Night here.

D.I.D. favorites Mount Kimbie recently sent over their video for Would Know, and I’m loving the early nineties aesthetic. It kind of reminds me of something out of Gummo. You must listen to Crooks & Lovers.

Mount Kimbie – Field

Wax Tailor is the alias of hip hop producer Jean-Christophe Le Saoût. Hailing from Paris, his three albums are filled with intelligent samples and exceptional beats. Tales Of The Forgotten Melodies is one of my favorite albums of all time. Growing up on Dj Shadow/RJD2/The Avalanches, this was a real find in my final semester of College. He’s still touring from his latest release, In The Mood For Life, and will hopefully be releasing more material soon.

Wax Tailor – Que Sera

Wax Tailor – Radio Broadcast

Blissed Out is a live electronics duo from New York City who recently sent over their edit of Teen Daze‘s Shine On You Crazy White Cap. This is the first time I’ve heard of either artists, and I’ve seriously been missing out.

Teen Daze – Shine On, You Crazy White Cap

The boys from Beat Connection, a Seattle based duo, recently sent over their debut EP, Surf Noir. These eight tracks are light and summery with a heavy dose of nostalgia, and are perfectly reminiscent of the sand and surf. Considering that they’re giving away this delightful bundle of songs for FREE on their bandcamp, you’d really be a fool to pass this up.

Beat Connection – In the Water
Beat Connection – Silver Screen

When classic artists update their sound they often run the risk of losing the originality that made them special. That’s not at all the case on Fever, a track from George Clinton‘s latest release. It’s a cover of a classic 1950s song and features guest vocals by Sly Stone. The subtle autotune sounds totally at home and reminds us how much both George and Sly are an inspiration to today’s musicians. Today’s pop music is only just catching up to the sonic experiments these mad scientists have been pumping out for years. Fever is a enlightening lesson for modern musicians, bridging the gap between three distinct musical eras.

Parisian phenom Allure just sent over his remix of The Beatles‘ And I Love Her, and he’s quickly becoming one of my favorite producers out there. You’ve got to see this guy live at some point this summer.
