New DJ Kicks record and track from Peckham-born producer Gold Panda (aka Derwin Panda). He is the latest in a long list of great artists that have created mix records for !K7. The latest installment by Panda is a wisely crafted 22 track mix mostly of artists I have never heard of. Check out just one of the 22! The album is officially out November 8th.

Up bright and early and rewarded with a heavy hitting (is the another kind?) from Justice. Their album Audio, Video, Disco is due out tomorrow. Don't miss it I expect is will be one of the best of 2011. (preview) Golden age-The Asteroids Galaxy Tour(Justice Remix) by Jus†ice™
Its been a minute since we last did a music for your weekend post. There is simply too much good stuff out there to continue this bad habit. The first is from one of our favorite musicians on the planet...Vito aka Aeroplane. His track "Big Boys Don't Cry" came out about a week ago and its still on repeat. Aeroplane - Big Boys Don't Cry by Aeroplane (Official) The next is a remix of Rihanna's "Rude Boy" by River Gbeh . Provides a nice fresh song to a track [...]
Nice little EP by the Electro-funk master Dam-Funk. The tracks are in support of Mr. Funk's upcoming fall tour (Chicago on 10/13 at the Empty Bottle). InnaDocusedDaze in conjunction with Scion AV is free over here . Dam also released a track in memory of DJ Mehdi a couple days ago. Don't miss it. Angel Reflections - DāM-FunK (Unreleased / 1st time available 'Full length' version) by DâM-FunK
New track from the genre blending downtempo hip hop producer musician DJ Cam. His record Soulshine remains one of my staples when I need a track to zone out and just relax too. Mad Blunted Jazz is no joke either. Great to see he is putting out some fresh stuff. His album Seven is due out October 27th on K7! records. 01 California Dreamin by DJ CAM (official)
From the upcoming EP " Glass Swords ", Rustie 's "All Nite" was my favorite from the album...was it because of the cut up vocal sample and R&B dancey feeling? Yeah probably! Rustie - All Nite (taken from Glass Swords) by Rustie
Brooklyn producer, Sweater Beats updated in his "Sexy Nu School Funk" style, one of my favorite Kashif songs, " I Just Gotta Have You (Lover Turn Me On) " in "Got To Have Her", and I really like what he did with it! Got To Have Her by SWEATER BEATS Another one of his songs I really enjoyed was, "Like That (Make You Feel It)": Like That (Make [...]
We lost one of our favorites today. DJ Mehdi was killed in a freak roof top accident in France while celebrating at a birthday party with friends. He was way too young and way too talented to go so early. We will miss you Mehdi. Rest in peace. Carte Blanche - Gare Du Nord by edbangerrecords DJ MEHDI "Tragicomehdi" by edbangerrecords [...]
Here are two tracks from the genre-bending Dark Sky. I cant quite put a finger on it, but there is something so simple and nostalgic about their productions. I've had these guys on lock for the last week straight. Enjoy. First up is my favorite track from their new EP Radius called Neon. Neon - (50 WEAPONS014) by Dark Sky Next up is their gorgeous remix of 4 The Love by Lorcan Mak. [...]
Ahhhh, yeah. Just listen to this new remix of Louis La Roche's 'The Wall' from J Paul Getto . It's massive! J Paul Getto is the production duo of Tony Saputo (formerly Swivel Hips) and Maurice Tamraz, and hot damn are they talented. This track drops on Beatport September 19th. LOUIS LA ROCHE - The Wall (J Paul Getto Remix) out Sept 19 2011 by J Paul Getto Bonus Getto: J [...]
New remix from our dudes Oliver. The duo of Oliver "Oligee" Goldstein and Vaughn "U-Tern" Oliver have been making some excellent remixes and original tracks. Check out the latest. Sneaky Sound System - Big (Oliver Remix) by weareoliver

They are on schedule to make a visit to Chicago on Mon, September 26th at Subterranean. Check'em out. Grieves - Against The Bottom by rhymesayers
Hudson has his new 'Satin Panthers' EP out, but the production of his that is my favorite, are his R&B edits. From Aaliyah , Jodeci , Keri Hilson , Tweet , and now Janet Jackson! Hudson Mohawke - Pleasure by Hudson Mohawke And now you can find all of his R&B edits in one place at the new label and website, Pleasure Principle : [...]
Sam Sparro (most known for " Black and Gold ") and Golden Touch remixes Kimbra 's pop song, " Cameo Lover " and make it more deep, added an additional background vocal (is it you Sam?) and even hints a boogie-esque beat. Cameo Lover (Sam Sparro and Golden Touch RMX) - Kimbra by GOLDEN TOUCH
You know how we love Ghosts of Venice , right? Good, good, because here's another good reason--a blissful little remix of Now in Stereo's "Away". It's got a certain back-to-the-90s house vibe, mixed in with a little french filter. This remix is off of the forthcoming Now in Stereo "Away" single on Satan's Circus Records , and also features remixes from Polymath , Slaughterbrains , and Aarvo. Now In Stereo - Away (Ghosts Of Venice Remix) by Ghosts Of Venice [...]
Loving this live recording of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis performing Otherside, just uploaded today. Macklemore's recent hometown show was one of the best live acts I've seen in years and this recording gives you a glimpse into what the guy can do on a live stage. Speaking of catching these guys live, you can see them at Seattle's iconic Bumbershoot festival Sunday, September 4th on the big stage! Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Otherside Remix [Live] by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Out today on DJ Eleven 's 11 Inch Records , is Vancouver's Kutcorners ' EP. "Diamond" brings back that boogie sound and features Curtis Santiago (vocals kinda reminds me of Steve Arrington ). This song also gets treatment from producers Waajeed and J-Boogie , amongst others. I like how you can faintly hear Bernard Wright's "Who Do You Love?" in the Waajeed remix! Kutcorners-Diamond by 11InchRecords
Here's the latest EP of badass boogie cut-ups from Wolverhampton's Letherette duo. Their chops are just as tight this time out, covering dusted Dilla-esque HipHop, cosmic soul, and one heavyweight Boogie-House job. A-side slydes through the elastic funk of 'Bruse', a gorgeous Dilla-style harp and sitar chop up on 'In And Out', and stuttering soul on 'Shoe Be Do'. Flip it and you'll be smacked with 'No Point', a killer Thomas Bangaltar-style disco-House cut-up treatment deserving of instant anthem status, sitting next to two Madlib-like HipHop joints. [...]
French electro producer Sebastian is coming to the states for a few select shows. We have had our eye on him since he released Ross Ross Ross back in 2006. Its now five years later and his album Total came out in May and it has some good tracks on it. My favorite and album standout is the track "Love in Motion" featuring one of our favorites Mayer Hawthorne. Sebastian is playing The Congress Theater next week on September 3rd. Don't miss it. Should be a great party.
