A few weeks back, Follow Me released their first single, "Somethin Bout You" for free download. For whatever reason - let's say I was busy backed up with child support payments or some other obviously bs excuse - I slept on it. My apologies to our NYC hombres but, to keep things current and on an uptempo vibe, Rogue Vogue has delivered a slamming Chicago house remix of their summer anthem. The track begins with some serious tone and attitude in those chords and progresses throughout to end finish [...]
Jam [verb, jammed, jam·ming, n oun]; used singularly as an exclamation of goodness or excitement. b. A serisouly groovy tune i.e. Bennie and the Jets. Originally derived from the Rasta term 'Jammin' as applied to music and musical performances made popluar by Bob Marley. Well, we don't have any Elton John or Bob Marley on the list this week, but we do have a delicious handful of tunes for you. Delivering fresh sounds to your ears this time around, our main dude RAC is back with what might be our favorite remix of his this year, [...]
Muralismo - “ Wild Eyed Friend ” [mp3] from Muralismo, out July 9 th ( bandcamp ) Taking their name from an artistic movement that focused on aspects of everyday life, this is fine chamber pop from San Francisco featuring the words and music of Mark David Ashworth. This tune is a lovely & exquisite composition, with nice mix of woodwinds and electric guitar. [...]

![Fresh Licks | RIVKA ~ Faded [EP]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/5013994_lg.jpg)
I keep trying to rebel against chillwave. Or at least turn my nose up at it. I'm not sure why, but I think that I just keep expecting the whole 'lofi DIY' scene to fall apart under the weight of too many hipster-lite bedroom chancers with wacky names, too much time on their hands, and too many other hipster-lite bedroom chancers to look to for support and indulgence. Then someone like RIVKA comes along and drops their new EP and I just throw my arms in the air and jump right back in. [...]
"Crawling back" to us this morning in unprecedentedly incendiary form are Alex Turner's Arctic Monkeys who, having pitstopped at a couple Nordic festivals last weekend, unleash the salacious Do I Wanna Know? upon us. As ravishing as it is scathing and quietly savage, it's an infernal return to the default MO to have brought us their in many respects slippery sophomore opus, Favourite Worst Nightmare , here replete with Meg White-inspired icky thump and a pinging chorus what pongs of Metronomy's most louche disco swelters. But it's not only sonically that the innately lustful Do I Wanna Know? [...]
If you took the storytelling monologue's of M83's music and paired it with a funky disco groove, I'd imagine that it would sound something like the production here. Moustache Machine takes MEO's epic, early '80s sounding synth-noir soundtrack and turns it into a highly infectious, danceable beat. Both versions are equally fantastic, so I'm going to they're both getting featured. Stream the two different versions of "Rescue Me" below, and pick your favorite. Everybody wins, because both tracks are free downloads! - Matt
Introducing | Cloud by Lee Adcock Hopefully, if you’ve been following GFP lately, you caught that excellent Audio Antihero compilation last week ( here it is , if you missed it.) If you haven’t – well, shame on you, but at least sample track #3, ' A Song of What Stays . It’s a beautiful, beautiful little tune, and quite possibly one of the loveliest tracks on the comp: a majestic yet humble piano plays with [...]
![[Download] Check Out a Free Mixtape Featuring the Samples from Kanye West's 'Yeezus'](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/5013096_lg.jpg)
For those who haven't heard Kanye West 's new album Yeezus , stop what you're doing right now and listen to it. Yeah, you might hate, or you might love it. Either way, it's a definitive moment in his career, an anti-pop album from a very mainstream artist. Amidst all the craziness that is Yeezus are a slew of samples, from TNGHT to Snoop Dogg to Marilyn Manson and many more. The folks at Babylon Cartel have been kind enough to compile every song Yeezy sampled into a free 55-minute mixtape. Stream or download [...]

RAC must be one busy guy. He's been dropping remixes left and right lately. After a nice job putting his signature touch on Gentlemen Hall 's " Sail Into The Sun " a couple of week's ago, we've now been treated to RAC's revisioning of Joywave 's latest hit, "Tongues". First off, the girls are all about "Tongues". I was in NYC a couple of weeks ago, and check out Joywave live at PIANOS. As soon as they started to play "Tongues", the girls went nuts and then cleared [...]
It's with an unerring regularity that, around the weekly midpoint, I find myself feeling as though I'm that USB stick at the centre of one of Wayne Coyne's Jell-O crania – floating in gloopy inertia, and slightly stuck. It's sticky today too, which has only enhanced the intensity of this truly indescribable sensation but it's this one from Louisville ambientalist BEΔCH HEΔRT which has most potently piqued that feeling. Entitled Primavera, it probably doesn't help that there's a commensurately inexpressible discrepancy between the Barça weather of last month and that of London this, although the [...]

We've never been particularly coy in our courting of Frida Sundemo's incessantly superlative Scandipop fare and her latest, the consummately wistful A Million Years, does absolutely nothing to dampen what is, to all intents and purposes, an already slushy infatuation. Her impeccable vocal equal parts biting, incisive and inviting, muffled kicks meet with bombastic synthetic fanfare and susurrating cymbals to only accent the bristling emotivity of it all. "I could stay for a million years" she keens, and so could we for her unerring naïveté, as per, surely couldn't be better refined. [...]
Any child of the 90s might recall Blackstreet blocking the radio airwaves in the summer of '96. It's such an iconic tune I'm not sure why I should here explaining it ad nauseam. The Bondax youngsters lay down a smoothed over groove to the quartet vocals and bring No Diggity into 2013. hey yaw hey yaw hey yaw heeey yaaaaaawww The post [Free Download] Bondax remixes "No Diggity" appeared first on PB&J .
There may only be a few runes differentiating Canadian instrumental hip hop upstart CΛVEMΛN from Brooklynite five-piece Caveman but aurally, they're a proverbial world apart from one another. And it's that there latter to whom our attentions this afternoon turn, as the statesiders here return with In The City: set against a luscious sonic backdrop seemingly indigenous to Local Natives' back catalogue, Matthew Iwanusa's affected murmur protrudes forth like a skyscraper insistently poking the unblemished skies above. Akin in timbre to that of The Shins' James Mercer, it would surely be the apex of this particular piece were its instrumental elements [...]
