We’re very excited and honored to be presenting this mixtape (alongside Mostly Junk Food and Potholes in My Blog) by one of our favorite musicians, the wonder that is Datahowler. He’s crafted this one in honor of the heatwave/drought that Texas experienced this summer from which they are just now recovering. In his own original work he draws from a myriad of influences, so it’s only fitting that this would be an eclectic bundle of joy. More than just a mix, it’s an explorative journey of sound. Stream it through his bandcamp here, or grab the .zip of mp3s. He’s also nominated for two Dallas Observer Music Awards (Best New Artist and Best Electronic Artist) so show him some voting love here. In addition, he has a few free albums floating around on his bandcamp, so dont sleep.

A while back Flying Lotus dropped a great two and a half hour mix of his some of his favorite material. He has also been posting some excellent b-side material on his soundcloud that you should definitely check out. The mix spans across quite a few genres and plays out very differently from some of his mixes in the past. It is amazing what this guy can do on a whim, and it’s interesting to see how much his influences connect to his unique production style.

Warp just released the video for Flying Lotus‘ Kill Your Co-Workers, where a pleasant neighborhood parade is temporarily interrupted by a swarm of killer robots. This is one of the first videos where you can download the 3D character files, make your own version of the video, and upload your creation to FlyLo‘s vimeo channel. Pattern + Grid World can be found on Amazon for less than $7.
