As we get ready for this sweet DJ set on Friday, it seems fitting that we run a new song by dance inducing hit makers Chairlift . This tasty new jam "Sidewalk Safari" appears on the band's upcoming new LP Something due out January 23rd on Young Turks in the UK and one day after in the U.S. Let's hope this gets you ready for the weekend. Download: Chairlift - Sidewalk Safari [MP3]
Can I just take a moment to gush over BBC Radio 12s Essential Mix ? It's been a while since I've really paid attention to it, but when an artist I care about does one, it's almost invariably wonderful. Two hours seems to be a perfect length of time to push past the expected and get deeper than your typical 30-minutes-to-an-hour long mix. The last two weeks have been pretty fantastic, with last week's mix coming from Modeselektor and this Saturday's mix coming from Earmilk favorite SBTRKT . This mix is crazy [...]
Drüben auf der Insel, dort wo man Bass schon immer mit Breakbeat buchstabiert, ist Pete Tong längst zum geflügelten Wort geworden. "It's all gone Pete Tong" umschreibt reimenderweise den ebenfalls sprichwörtlichen Griff ins Klo. Ob rhyming slang oder doch konkrete Poesie - auf den längst überfälligen Essential Mix von Post-Dubstep-Pop-Whatever-Mask en-Mann SBTRKT lässt sich der Terminus nur schwerlich anwenden. In etwas über zwei Stunden bringt der Londoner von Shed über Mosca bis hin zu Roni Size und Masters At Work alles zusammen, was Bass macht. Ruff'n'tuff! Harcore [...]

I'm sure you've all heard of The XX before, but if you haven't I'm not sure where you've been the past two years. Jamie XX has gone solo after a massive world tour and award winning debut album, and I couldn't be more excited about the sound he's creating. His originality really makes it hard to put him in a category, but if I had to I'd say Nu Disco . I'll let you decide for yourself. He has a few shows booked in the U.K., and I anticipate an electrifying tour around The States in [...]
It's rare that a two-hour-long "essential" mix actually ends up being pretty much essential from front to back. But leave it to one of the most consistently brilliant young producers in the world to provide 120 minutes of heat for the BBC, complete with his trademark pitchfucked vocals, tributes to Gil and Amy Winehouse, and a Drizzy cameo, among many other things. For those of us who have been following Jamie's trajectory from The xx's debut, to the Gil Scott Heron remix album, to the slew of phenomenal remixes he's churned out in between, a chance to get inside his [...]
Jamie XX last blew our minds back in February when he teamed up with Gil Scott-Heron. He's been busy since then putting out an Essential Mix with BBC's Radio 1 (posted below) and dropping one of the best mixes I've heard in a while for FACT magazine. It's 32 minutes of awesome that fits into pretty much anything I do in my daily routine so I highly suggest you fit it into yours. Jamie XX starts off this mix with crazy ominous bass that probably scares my neighbor and progressively picks up until he starts getting dirty with [...]
SBTRKT - SBTRKT SBTRKT has released the video to the latest single 'Pharaohs' from his strong self-titled debut LP. The song is one of the album's standouts and the video features charismatic guest vocalist Roses Gabor as well as a fair few masks, some face paint and even a helmet with fluorescent tubes sticking out of it. Obviously. Watch it below. SBTRKT is out now on Young Turks. Related Posts: SBTRKT - [...]

There's no doubt about it, Jamie xx (The xx) has put together a brilliant BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. I've read about the mix on numerous blogs and I've even seen it affect Youtube comments. Check out Soundcloud below to hear the mix in its' entirety. But putting the mix up is just like every other blog. I've taken the liberty to locate some of the mix's best songs and I've made them available for download. Jamie xx has access to some heavily sought after songs. One that comes to mind is New Look's [...]
C’est mon compère Carl qui me faisait remarquer que le prolifique Jamie xx a enregistré un Essential Mix le 27 aout dernier. Et qu’elle mixe. Mes attentes étaient relativement hautes compte tenu de ses derniers sets, vraiment malade eux aussi, Et c’est certain qu’avec une diffusion sur BBC il allait mettre la gomme. Trop compliqué de l’étiquette dans une seule catégorie musicale, un set hyper varié avec la signature xx qui lui donne ce petit côté magique. Ça fait changement des mixes télégraphiés boring et forgettable. Jamie XX – Essential Mix (27aug11) ( mp3 [...]
my man ben sommer , who may or may not be the future of prog, is unleashing his new record, super brain , over the next month or so, song by song, spread over about 10 music blog thingys. i was lucky enough to be the first chosen to debut the first single, "young turks." i dig it quite a bit, but much like the taste of absinthe, you'll either love it or hate it, or possibly die along the way. after conversing with him over the past year or so on twitter, the dude is smart, or [...]
