Astro Nautico‘s staggering 41-track Atlantics Vol. 2 is out today, and features a footwork tune of ours called “West 7th”. Download the entire thing for free here.

Astro Nautico will drop the second edition of their Atlantics series on Friday, which features lots of exclusives from artists like Moist Ghost, OL, Pixelord, Raja, Dreams, us, the entire Astro Nautico crew and many, many others. Stream the teaser below.

Jeremiah from Nyteowl was recently interviewed by Gimme Noise about their restless string of releases (Valentine EP was their third in a year), and they’ll be celebrating the release of their forthcoming single on Juno Records‘ new Love Interest imprint at Hexagon this Saturday with sets from Littlefoot, Bollywood, and us. Love Of Mine will be out on 7” picture disc, double 10” and clear vinyl 12” that night, and is also coming backed with remixes from Mighty Mouse, Boy 8-bit, Hyboid, and Brassica. You can find more info on the show here, and check out their video for “Love Of Mine” below.

Crimson and I first met the guys in Nyteowl after a set we played in October, and were real surprised to find them in the cities. Their soul inspired vocals, disco aesthetic, and smooth electronics are reminiscent of the infectious sound that came out of the East Village in the early aughts, which makes their presence in Minneapolis all the more valuable. Their Valentine EP will be released through NyteTraxx/Juno Records on the 28th and will feature reworks from Napolean (who is Simon Mills from Bent) and us. Be sure to check out to their EP release party at Hexagon on the 23rd if you’ll be in the area.

Our friends at Senzu are back with the latest installment of their forward thinking mixtape series, and this volume includes one of our Comanche beats from the mix we made for Astro Nautico. You can pick your price for this beast on their bandcamp or snag it here for free.

Comanche will be mixing live at the Blood Feast Halloween extravaganza here in Minneapolis this Friday night and again at the Cause Sound Bar next Thursday. To get geared up for these shows, we have decided to toss up a few b-sides from Silicon Basilica, Comanche‘s forthcoming release. If you are in the area, be sure to check out the shows.

Substitute Teachers is our (semi)regular mix series, where we let go of the reins for once, and allow someone else to teach you a thing or two about music. This episode is brought to you by Akutou, a designer and all-around badass. I was instructed by a trusted friend to listen to his Fiesta de Go! mix a few months ago, and I never looked back. He’s crafted this magnificent mix for us entitled SWARMTH, and there isn’t much to say except we highly recommend you press play and let it wrap you in its hazy arms during these last days of summer.
