Fuck yeah, Nintendo Core! // HORSE the Band

Closely monitored since the release of the Shapeshift single early this year - which featured an excellent remix by Skrillex - HORSE the Band are finally putting it all out there with Desperate Living. At times metal, at times hard core, at times main theme songs for old NES games, but always always free for all fun. Out now via Vagrant.

It's friday, so rock on!

The exes and the pluses // Florence + XX

Some bands are slanted to turn everything that they touch into pure gold and that seems to be the case for the XX. Either due to some extreme hyping from musical behemoths such NME & Pitchfork or just because, you know, they actually sound good, the XX have been one of this blog's favorites for 2009. Point in case: Florence + The Machine remix, or the bland innocuous garden variety British teen soul songstress flavour of the year 2009 getting turned on it's head and sounding a million times that much more refreshing.

XX: Believe the hype! Download this track here, listen to it over and over, put it as your ring tone, share it with your friends and say you're doing it because you love them, share it with your enemies and say you're doing it because their musical taste needs an intervention, just pass the word.

Splitting the atom // Massive Attack

New EP out now via Virgin Records and available in digital format only. (so far) You can preview the album on their official website, here. And yes, that's the guy from Tv On The Radio singing on track #2 which is an excellent song although, in my humble opinion, Martina steals the show on track #3... as per usual.
01. Splitting The Atom (feat. 3D, Daddy G, and Horace Andy)
02. Pray For Rain (feat. Tunde Adebimpe)
03. Psyche (Van Rivers / The Subliminal Kid Remix) (feat. Martina Topley Bird)
04. Bulletproof Love (Christoff Berg Remix) (feat. Guy Garvey)

Thom Yorke via Modeselektor // #rmxmoday

Well well, we meet again, Mr Yorke. Found while browsing through Burial's new double cd compilation for Hyperdub Records, 5: Five Years of Hyperdub, on Beatport. Don't ask me how these things happen, they just do and it's usually a long and boring story.

Well, I'm back from a small trip up north to check out this party that celebrated social and cultural diversity. (yes, it was a gay bar... seesh)

Kudos to Gazpar for the company and for providing an awesome soundtrack for our road trip!
