THIS IS LIL WHY

Nicolas Jaar- Space Is The Only Noise You Can See

When the world or your psyche feel ajar, check out the one and only Nicolas. His music is so incredibly strange like a Brian Eno “fun house” run by Jamie xx and Nick Cage complete with eerie sounds, odd noises, and not to mention ambient trance. Don’t let the slow intro turn you off. Do give this track your full attention. Especially since this title suggests some sort of theory of relativity about sound and sight- we’ll let you sort out that correlation…Space Is Only Noise is fully worth an exploration. It’s seems you don’t listen to the album per se, you almost experience it.

Jaar may take you through time and Space..

AraabMuzik- Street Tonight 

There are special moments when you hear the first 3 seconds of a track, and instantly fall in love. This has a Kaskade vibe, but more excitingly ethereal. This is an ideal introduction into the world of good electronic/house muzik. Abraham Orellana is a Sri Lankan hip-hop producer from Rhode Island, but definitely doesn’t sound like he’s from a small state!

Mad Street cred here.

Basement Jaxx- The Ends

This should be a classic in the making from our favourite summer movie from 2011- maybe even our fav of the year period- Attack The Block (man). What an epic choon that legitimately illustrates the endz, or at least what we’d like to hear as we walk through them: an emphatic powerhouse of triumph that commands respect, blad. 

Innit, bruv?

Miike Snow- Animal (Mark Ronson Remix)

Mark Ronson can truly take a song and make it his own. Probably one of the best in the remix game, Ronson nails this slightly hyped track with his own Jamaican vibez, man.

Best served with a sunny beach and a pina colada.

LCD Soundsystem- I Can Change (Tiga Remix)

Basically we miss LCD Soundsystem. In a big big way. If anyone can make the dissolution of a relationship sound infectious and innovative, it’s front man and DFA label innovator co-founder, James Murphy. Their upcoming documentary doesn’t look like a must-see, but definitely seems like a fun trip down memory lane, and how many times do you get to employ “All My Friends” in a trailer?!

“Love is an open book to a verse of your bad poetry, and this is coming from me…”

Jai Paul- BTSU

Epic sound, like a Twin Sister with the vocals of Tesfaye from The Weeknd or solo Neon Indian, though we’d prefer if this song were titled Psychic Chasms as those are the most accurate words to describe the sound. This track is remarkably eerie and exciting simultaneously, like something else that happened today. Wonder what BTSU stands for…

Believe Tottenham Stands Unafraid?

Fire Shall Devour Them- Three Corners of the Earth

What a ridiculously HOT track for an incredibly chilly premise. From the brilliant minds of M83’s Anthony Gonzalez and Brain Farm’s Curt Morgan, what else would you expect. This song provides a haunting soundtrack for some terrifying, spine-chilling stunts.

Get ready for an avalanche of cool.

Holy Ghost!- I Wanted To Tell Her (Ministry Cover)

80s cover by an electronic band, jack pot. Can’t expect much less from the producers at DFA records.

Is this where J.K Rowling derived the term Ministry of Magic?

School Of Seven Bells- Night

After a bit of a recess, School of Seven Bells has returned with their third album, Ghostory released February 28th. As the title suggests, this single definitely has an ethereal, other world quality, but over a bit of an 80s percussion, which takes the track back to 2011. Maybe they’ve gone a bit more in a Naked and Famous Direction, but it’s still pretty.

School is back in session.

Avicii- Fade Into Darkness

That moment when House music attempts to be romantic? ‘Attempt’ being the operative word here, the lyrics- probably intended to seem deep/brilliant under the influence of some type amphetamine- seem, when heard closely, the stuff of emotional adolescent love poetry. Don’t get us wrong, we’ll fully rock out to this, but the lyrics are totally basic, pretty much juvenile. Sick song still.

Like “Fade Into You” gone electro.
