Scored this remix by Jus Bus and thought I would share it with you all. I really think this new Jay-z record is not just buzz. I really believe it is going to be great… HOVA!

Check out Andrew Jernigan aka Phaseone’s new record Thanks But No Thanks.
Phaseone has been causing a fuss via the tubes of the internet with remixes of indie artists such as Animal Collective and Panda Bear. (Check out the Animal Collective “Daily Routine” remix below) I scored the new album from a great blog Porch of the Mystics. You can zip the file there. If you are into transy big beat electro pop, this record is for you. I pulled one of my favorites from the record. The intro sounds like the alarm noise when you are in danger on Starfox… how cool is that?

Check out this video for the song “Gifted” Featuring Kanye West, Santogold, and Lykke Li. This song of course is brought to you by the DJ duo N.A.S.A, from their fantastically produced record The Spirit of Apollo on Anti-records.
British music producer Stephen Wilkinson, better known as Bibio, releases his first full length with Warp Records. Ambivalence Avenue is a unique blend of IDM, hip hop & folk.
Just a few months prior to Ambivalence, Bibio released Vignetting The Compost, a great folk album from start to finish, with lovely finger-picking guitar lines and soft vocals. For Ambivalence Avenue, Bibio threw in a wah-wah peddle & sampled in some heavy hip hop beats. He manages to keep hip hop & folk separate for the majority of the album, never really mixing the two. If you haven’t heard Bibio’s music before, I suggest getting a copy of Vignetting first, rather than diving straight into the genre rollercoaster ride that is Ambivalence. He couldn’t have chosen a better title for his latest release, and after hearing it you’ll definitely understand why.

I know what you are thinking… we are sick of MJ. To be honest… I don’t care. I discovered this remix of Dirty Diana about a week ago and I have been sitting on it ever since. I have decided it is just too good not to share. Enjoy!

A few words regarding the post humous release of J Dilla titled Jay Stay Paid on Nature Sounds. Check out this video a fan posted for the song “Lightworks”.
On June 2nd Nature Sounds released the 2nd full length from J Dilla aka James Yancey. This is the second release since his death back in February of 2006. To be honest, I am extremely skeptical of releases such as this. J Dilla was a genius and helped to break open a whole world of possibilities regarding how hip-hop is sequenced and sampled. I always cringe at posthumous releases, but there is no desperation here. Simply the desire of two people, Dilla’s mom Ms. Yancey and long time idol and friend Pete Rock, to release some amazing material that J Dilla was working on both in and out of the hospital before his death. This record is very much in the style of J Dilla’s Donuts with the exception of the work of MC’s such as Black Thought, Blu, Havoc, Illa J, Lil Fame of M.O.P., MF DOOM and Raekwon. The album is incredibly strong, but as most of you know, J Dilla worked best in the mixtape format, so excuse the context of the great song “Blood Sport” below.
Here is Ms. Yancey giving her thoughts on the record.
