We're no longer afraid of widgets. In fact, we spent several hours plowing through every one of them over at RCRD LBL and were rather wildly delighted to find the following downloadables. Some of them we already had, indeed had already posted--Oh, that Morning After Girls tune. . .mwah!!!--but our links had expired, blah, blah, blah, etc. We weren't sure if posting a long list of widgets would
Evil Needle-Jazzolude #2 Download audio file (Jazzolude-2.mp3) I couldn't really figure out the tone I wanted this volume of Rendezvous to have. So it was fitting when Noah sent me the cover artwork and it looked like braille or an encryption you have to decode. However, after playing the songs in this one, I have to say it's one of my favorites I've done in a while. Songs like "Manifestations" aren't conventionally "sexy" but to me there's something sultry about them. These [...]

C'est en jetant un œil chez TSUGI que je viens de voir quelque chose d'assez improbable. En effet la prestation qu'a réalisé Caribou et sa bande lors de l' ATP Festival est disponible en téléchargement libre sur soundcloud depuis un mois et c'est passé inaperçu ! Pour ceux qui n'étaient pas au courant, il est important de préciser que ce live reste assez exceptionnel simplement par la formation du groupe qu'il y avait sur scène. Pour l'occasion Caribou opta pour Caribou Vibration Ensemble et invita Luke Lalonde (Born Ruffians), Four [...]
Growing up in Seattle the first tape I purchased was Sir-Mix-a-Lot's Swass . A Tribe Called Quest , Wu Tang , Ice Cube , were my building blocks. In the last decade it was Definitive Jux , now it's Stones Throw . I wanted it all. But therein lies my fundamental problem. I'm addicted to a genre that has been declared dead. What's a guy like me to do? Mainstream hip hop is in the midst of a strange era. Record exec [...]

A house constitutes a body of images that give mankind proofs or illusions of stability. We are constantly re-imagining its reality: to distinguish all these images would be to describe the soul of the house; it would mean developing a veritable psychology of the house... They give us back areas of being, houses in which the human being's certainty of being is concentrated, and we have the impression that, by living in such images as these, in images that are as stabilizing as these are, we could start a new life, a life that would be our own, that would [...]
I first heard this song (over and over again) in a friend's car. Then, when I was on outing hunting for this , I saw one of Koushik's albums, a limited edition instrumental thing, displayed prominently in Other Music . We all know what that means. Koushik is a Canadian DJ and electronic musician who has (predictably) worked with Caribou (and also Madlib and Fourtet). I believe that much of this music has been produced by label mate/founder and recipient of [...]
I'm not into doing this one today, so I'm glad I was sorta working on it all week. Second time this week I'm throwing up a koushik track, and thats because I did listen to this quite a bit this week. a good 2/3 of this song is just rolling mellow, and then... a nice break drops through. Buy Koushik's shik from stones throw here . Fingerbanger 1 : Koushik - Nothings The Same (don lowed) -- Scott Hansen aka ISO50 aka Tycho aka [...]

Once again it's time to look back into the past. This mix starts with two covers and it even has a remix of a Passion Pit song. Luckily, the remix is by Pollination . Just what was November 2008 like? It was a little like this… Downloadables: Banned From The Roxy (mp3) by Jeffrey Lewis We Didn't Start The Fire (mp3) by The Forms Focus (mp3) by The Forms [...]
The real horrorshow gang has become two people, with myself now part of this rad rad blog. I am lewi, friend of nathan, and tonight matthew, I'm going to blog some shit that blows my mind. So I'll start with a guy who may of already been blogged quite a bit, however he's actually killing it right now. My mum said I'm to young to be in love, but after listening to Gold Panda , I heartily disagree. For lovers of; Prefuse 73, Koushik, and Four Tet, Gold Panda [...]

Stones Throw released the beautifully psychedelic, hip hop friendly instrumentals from Koushik 's Out My Window . I think you can still get it for free (via Stones Throw ). Koushik's downtempo, low-key style is experimental but hard hitting with a rich, full sound. The instrumentals album is the perfect companion for any hung-over, lazy Sunday... Koushik - "Be With" [See post to listen to audio] Koushik - "Lying In The Sun" [See post to listen to audio] Download the full instrumental album ( here )
Hopefully many of you picked up Koushik's album Out My Window when it was released last year. That and his earlier album Be With really shows off this hazy Canadian electronic artist's ability. This record is an instrumental version (if you could say that, the first version was pretty instrumental as well) where the vocals have been rearranged and set deep back in the melodies, like "friendly ghost in the attic." Its a 22 track record with 6 songs not originally on Out My Window . I recommend you download it...like before [...]
I typically avoid posting on the same artist on consecutive weeks, but if Koushik is going to insist on giving away his entire catalog for free he's forcing my hand. After one-upping the bootleggers by offering up his Bleep Tape for free download , he's now insisting on offering the instrumentals from last year's excellent Out My Window, with extra bonus beats. Fair enough. It's only available gratis for the next several days, so in the words of Todd Shaw, "get it while the gettin' is good. Get it while you [...]
KOUSHIK - GHOSTLESS & BONUS BEATS FREE (MP3) Koushik proposed that we release an instrumental version of his Out My Window album, where the vocals - what few tracks actually have vocals - are buried deep in the mix, less like a singer than a friendly ghost in the attic. Such a bizarre idea, how could we say no? It's on CD with 22 tracks, 5 or 6 of which are not on Out My Window, but who's counting? Packaged in thick cardboard with tip-on cover in the style of [...]
![Free album download: Koushik – Out My Window (Instrumentals + Bonus Beats) [One Week Only]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2004883_lg.jpg)
Last week it was Beep Tape , this week the kind folks at Stones Throw are giving us a "ghostless" version of Koushik's Out My Window Out My Window (Instrumentals + Bonus Beats) on CD Out My Window (Instrumentals + Bonus Beats) Free MP3 Download for 1 week
Koushik's hyperactive imagination goes into overdrive with the skeletally fractal beat sketches of 'Beeptape'. There's an amazing frisson of styles going on here, running into some 30 tracks of lopsided rhythms, cropped breaks and loopy sounds constructed like an ADD collage of ideas for a mix. One second you're in the midst of a cracking hiphop break, the next we're filtered into an electro-soul bomb, before being swept 5 seconds later into dub ridden moon-scapes. No track lasts longer than 1 minute, meaning your attentions are being constantly shifted and bent in whatever direction he likes, leading to an unpredictable [...]
