Little Rock promotion team Cybertribe has booked some impressive acts in the past (most notably Le Castle Vania last year). Tomorrow night they'll continue that tradition by relaunching their Zodiac Series monthly dance party at The Rev Room with Designer Drugs headlining. Click to RSVP. Now, I could either ramble on and give you a DD bio, or I could share some choonage. I'm opting for the latter. This "Victims" remix showed up on RCRD LBL earlier today: [...]
This is for all my real techno heads. IDM Mailing List , stand up! URB just put up a delightfully comprehensive 60-minute-plus Plastikman mix, which spans 20 years of minimal techno under Detroit legend Richie Hawtin 's Plastikman guise. It's been nearly five years since Hawtin last released material as Plastikman, but he's bringing back the bleak, wiggly synths and 909 bump just in time for a Coachella on Sunday night. JPLS is on Hawtin's label, Minus , and was commissioned by Hawtin to make the URB [...]
Some local flavor here via the Aerosault fam. Diamond Life is the new production team of EQ (Fayetteville resident, Aerosault member, and resident DJ at Fix ) and Daniel Rockwell (Oklahoma City resident and founder of Bomb City Records ). These dudes have been dropping original tunes and remixes under this moniker for a few months now. Their direction tends to be Bmore-centric with heavy nods to old school house. Check this 50-minute-plus spring mix for a taste: [...]
The first Bombay Brouhaha was a huge success, so it was inevitable that we would have another. This will almost certainly be our last Bollywood dance party, so for those of you who missed the first one, tomorrow night will be your only opportunity to see/hear/taste what all the fuss is about! Props to KXUA (our official sponsor), Fayetteville Flyer , Ozarks at Large , Friends of India , and other local media/entities for helping us get the word out. Two reasons to get their early: 1) Catering by our [...]

Sunday Girl has a mere seven comments on her MySpace and under 800 plays. Yet somehow she's already commissioned remixes from Diplo and Russ Chimes along with an oh-so-posh video directed by Elisha Smith-Leverock . Of course, that may say more about MySpace's decline than Sunday Girl's popularity, but in any case, she's clearly another one of these out-of-nowhere off-center British bubblegum pop types (e.g., Ellie Goulding , Florrie ). Give her seven months, and she'll be climbing the BBC singles chart. Diplo turns out a terrific dubstep-leaning [...]
photo by Drew Lindgren I'd like to say I'm posting this because it's a solid track (which it is), but that only accounts for half my fascination. The other half has to do with the fact that Brian Lindgren (aka Mux Mool ) appears to be composing music—at least in part—on an old Sanyo CRT, as pictured above.

photo via warrenjabali God bless Northwest Arkansas for being such a convenient in-between point for many SXSW acts. For such a small town, Fayetteville is fully steeped in live music all year round, so it's only right that we get some really choice up-and-coming acts around SXSW time. Such acts, namely Pocahaunted , Wet Hair and Dirty Beaches , will be gracing the Sang House this week. Take a peek at the Facebook event page. Pocahaunted's set is tonight. [...]
Japanese outfit Crystal consists of three frowny dudes and one smiley girl. They just dropped their excellent four-track sophomore EP, Neo Age ( Amazon , iTunes ), on Institubes sublabel Unsunned . Think a mellower Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack meets Yellow Magic Orchestra , and you're halfway there. Alternative content DOWNLOAD [USERSHARE] | ♥ THIS SONG ON THE HYPE MACHINE!

Something about this track hooks me like a fish. Maybe it's the synth nods to classic ambient house. Haven't figured it out yet. Alternative content ♥ THIS SONG ON THE HYPE MACHINE! Cop Heavy Bass Champions of the World, Vol. II on Amazon ($1.99) .
The "Show My Ass" video has been making big blog rounds, and I was hooked the moment a friend pointed me to it. I've been searching high and low for an MP3 to no avail, but it just popped up in my inbox from Dominique 's label Art Jam like an answered prayer. Enjoy!

One of my New Year's resolutions has been to post less Top 40 drivel, but damn. Drake came hard on this one. It's allegedly his first single off Thank Me Later .

Ah, the glory days...early 2009. Back then, I was posting a new 607 flip every few weeks. But after a few months of keeping our supply steady and thoroughly whetting our appetites, Lord Six split to Russia for a minute, and the flip flood came to a sad, unwelcome halt. Luckily 607 has been recording with his brother Bobby (aka Mr. Morbid) throughout this interim. He's got a new 17-track album out titled Ear Fear , and you can cop it here . He actually sent me this flip of [...]

So I up and did it. I got one of these Tumblr thingies . This particular one will be an outlet for me to echo what I'm sharing on Google Reader. Don't get confused though. AiMT isn't going anywhere. This new Tumblr is simply a companion blog, not a replacement. So for those of you who can't get enough are put off by my lack of regular posts lately, hopefully this will suffice as some interim content.
(via D*ruffalo ) Haven't heard from DJ Food in a minute, but turns out he ( they? ) has a very attractive blog , a new EP out, and a slick new mix of Eno 's funkier work. Check it out here. Any avid fan of Eno's work will be familiar with most of these selections, but don't let that stop you from hearing the mix. You'll get the occasional vintage Eno interview clip fixed [...]
Here's a teaser of what you'll be able to hear next Friday, February 5, at Bombay Brouhaha , an official AiMT Bollywood-themed dance party. This will be the second-ever AiMT party, and it will be an altogether different vibe than the first. I'll be throwing down vintage Bollywood (and Lollywood ) disco, boogie, funk, etc. Rev. Stiles will cover newer bhangra, and our boy Vivek will tackle modern Bollywood. This particular 30-minute teaser is all disco: Download Bombay Brouhaha: Party Sampler Mix [Direct] 00:00: [...]
(via BLVD ST ) Here's the first part of a two-part interview with this hitmaker discussing hardware vs. software: Help AiMT on The Hype Machine by faving us on Technorati .
Out of nowhere via Maya's Twitter . I'm guessing she's had Merriweather Post Pavilion in heavy rotay lately. A newly redesigned Discobelle wonders if it's Rusko-produced . In other news, Maya blasts the New York Times . Help AiMT on The Hype Machine by faving us on Technorati .
