Das Racist - Girl (Offical Video)

My man's got moves in this new video for Das Racist's track "Girls" off their album Relax. Aristotle Athiras directs. Keep an eye out for a Lakutis cameo, who according to Chucky2Nice is the "coldest mack of all time".

The Black Keys / RZA - The Baddest Man Alive

"I drink honey straight from the beehive!"

The Black Keys and RZA team up to produce "The Baddest Man Alive," a mixture of bluesy rock with the grittiness of RZA's flow. This song will be on the Soundtrack to the upcoming movie "The Man with the Iron Fists" set to release on November 2nd which includes acting from RZA alongside Lucy Liu and Russell Crow. A great song from hopefully a great movie.

Peep some old remixes by Cashmere Cat.

LOUDPVCK - RE-UP

Although this trap thing has been going on for a minute without much notice, it's nice to see some kids who are really good at it gettin some recognition. One half Kenny Beats, who has a slew of production credits under his belt (including the most recent ScHoolboy Q track "Party"), and the other half Ryan Marks, LOUDPVCK make me move my shoulders up and down.

You can download the new mixtape at Livemixtapes or whatever that site is called.

Suspekt

Olympus has been very rapped up in the new Kendrick Lamar album Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City and there have been very few plugs lately.  I'm sure you civilians get it... Kendrick has released the greatest Hip Hop album of the year after all.  One of my favorite songs off GKMC is "Peer Pressure"... which I have jus discovered was originally produced by this Danish producer Suspekt:

Suspekt also produced Sacrilegious , one of the best tracks off Schoolboy Q's Habits and Contradictions.
Hear the original by Kendrick:

Rhye - The Fall (Maurice Fulton Alt Mix)

Hear the original from the LA duo after the jizza

Sunday Sleeper: Deftones - Sextape (Video)

Astronauts, etc. - Chemistry

He JUST dropped, Supermelodic Pulp... but I guess he's onto the next EP, Electric Slow System, which should release by the end of 2012.  If you’re in San Francisco and interested in seeing dude perform, he will be opening up for Ultraista (Nigel Godrich’s band, producer for Radiohead) this coming Monday, October 22nd at The Independent.

How to Dress Well - Set it Right (Live)

Go see him live I guess. Shit is bananas. Tom Krell.

S. Maharba - Ghost Of Myself

I don't know if I'm stumbling or walking in a straight line. It's dawn, and I'm just headed home. I wonder if everyone is feeling the same way I am.

Main Attrakionz - Cloud Body

Get cloudy. It's that shit that you could trust.

A$AP Rocky f/ Drake, 2 Chainz & Kendrick Lamar - Fuckin' Problem

Death Grips & Galen Pehrson - True Vulture (Video)

Shit is RIDICULOUS.  True Vulture wasn't on Death Grips' most recent album... which had a controversial release when Death Grips' label told them they would release their new album, NO LOVE DEEP WEB sometime next year.  Death Grips said fuck that and released the album for free on soundcloud on the spot and released this famous photograph.
-2Nice

"Ditching the usual DIY style of their visuals, the group teams up with animator/director Galen Pehrson for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles to create a gloriously psychedelic ride through the cartoon cosmos. Actress Jena Malone (Hunger Games, Donnie Darko) contributes voiceovers and, as a droopy-beaked crow, mumbles something about getting "dick-slapped" moments before a sky rocket in flight crosses the familiar blue bathroom tiles of NO LOVE DEEP WEB's cover."

-Spin

Chief Keef - Love Sosa

I'm fascinated by Keef bro. 16 without a moral in his mind.

The Weeknd - Wicked Games (Video)

Apparently both the last one and this video were directed by Abel himself.  The Trilogy drops Nov. 13 with three new tracks.  Tracklist after the jizza.

The Invisible - Generational

Shouts to R. Blat for the plug.

Linsdsay Lowend and Jonah Baseball - Should Be

The D.C. surgeons sample one of my favorite Amy tracks.

DrDr - Addicted

Brighton based trio DrDr (Chris Cambpell, Joe Woods and Donna Cursons) bless us with the flawless track "Addicted" off of their "No Comprmise" EP. The whole EP slaps. They also have reworks of diplo, the xx and Timberlake tracks that go in. Excited to see what's next from DrDr.

R. Kelly - Trapped in the Closet (Ch. 23)

This shit is really the stuff of legend bro.

Continues this winter on IFC.  This is just a taste, but the entire thing, which looks a lot shinier with its network budget, premieres November 23rd.

Egyptian Hip Hop - Good Don't Sleep

R&S Records will be releasing the new album from the Manchester band, Egyptian Hip Hop, on Ocotober 22nd.  NME with the exclusive stream.

More Sohn. 

The Wu​-​Tang Clan / Kool G Rap - Rivers of Blood

Fantastic you hoe.

Toro y Moi - So Many Details

The young wiz is back at is as he releases "So Many Details," the 1st single off upcoming album, Anything in Return, due out early next year. It's wavy, because this man Chad is a beast. He is calling this album "sincere pop," so we can only wait to see what Toro has got in store for us.

Thaddeus David - Trapitol Trill (Mixtape)

fLako - Honey Drips

MAAAAAN... fLako gas and I'm late.  Peep the Soundcloud and act like you know.

Kanye West - White Dress

I brought Kanye West in first. He came into the editing room, and he went and wrote a beautiful song for the scene I showed him. A beautiful scene with a lot of beautiful ladies. He just said, ‘Wow, that’s beautiful. The colors is beautiful. The girls is definitely pretty.” And I said, ‘Well listen to what Lucy Liu starts to sing. That idea is all you need to take. It’s gotta be about somebody lovely.’ I had given him one other piece of advice. I said, ‘Think of Ghostface in the sense of how Ghostface did “Ice Cream” and “Wildflower,” where he kinda raps all the way through it. On “Wildflower” Ghostface does a super long verse, and Kanye’s second verse here is actually super long. We finished the song and he said to me, ‘I tried to make it Ghostface long.'

-RZA

Rochelle Jordan - Shotgun (Video)

Directed by Sharon Jane D.  Dropped yesterday but I was in Atlantis w/o my gear.

Palmbomen - Black Safari

It's like an amalgamation of Winter and Summer. This feels tropical, but uneasy at the same time. Like I'm at a vacation house in Hawai'i but it just so happened to start pouring rain, and the house is moving to and fro with the wind. I'm huddled up, but I'm huddled up with some tropical mixed drink that has a lot of pineapple juice. And a lot of rum. It's feeling wavy.

The Weeknd - Trilogy (Trailer)

November 13

Wild Belle - It's Too Late (Snakehips Remix)

Chill with it

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Child (Video)

Directed By Michał Byra
The new album is called "Here"... and it's out now.

Lil B - Illusions of Grandeur 2 (Mixtape)

"Man, you gotta be real to even see what I'm after..." (Cant See B)

Araabmuzik - Runaway Bass

Aye I swear throw this on for the cypher. Electronic Dream 2 coming soon civilians.

AlunaGeorge - Watching Over You (Video)

Aluna Francis with the flawless, sweet delivery and George Reid serving the RnB influenced electronic soul. Wake up to this and slap it a little. The bass is heavy and Aluna's vocals flow in a heavenly manner. You can find this on a new compilation from BBC radio DJ Annie Mac, where it will be alongside previously-released cuts from Drake, A$AP Rocky, Frank Ocean, TNGHT, Diplo, and others. A list of wizards like that could fuck around and take over the world.

BS1 - Rust EP (sampler)

Italian group, BS1, have released this experimental dance track leading up to their 15 October release of Rust on BNR. See the tracklist below:

Tracklist
01. BS1 – GOLD RUSH
02. BS1 – THE NEED
03. BS1 – RUST

The GTW & Bengfang - 4814 EP

Eddie Yang and James King are The GTW & Bengfang.  In the world of genre blending this should come as no surprise as it encompasses: r&b, hip-hop, downtempo house, and UK Bass (at least those that I could pick out).  See the Guardian's appraisal of the group.  

Rustie - Supersoaker

Ripped from the BBC Radio 1 Show with Skream & Benga.

Jessie Ware - Night Light (Joe Goddard Remix)

M. Goddard breathes some groove into the new Jessie Ware single.

Nick Hook - Medium Rare (featuring Machinedrum)

Nick Hook, a member of the NYC trio Cubic Zirconia who recently worked with Hudson Mohawke on the beat for Azealia Banks’ Jumanji, is releasing his solo EP next week (9 October), ‘Without You’. East Village Radio has made the Machinedrum collaboration Medium Rare available to stream.  The track.  Dummy says of it: 'It rumbles along, a little haunted, a little frayed, but warm and sure enough to do malleable things to your mood.'

Becoming Real - Slow Memory (Damu Remix)

Damu remixes the Becoming Real track from a few months back (check the video after the jump).  I liked this description of the track:

From a slow-burn start it opens out into a glinting little number that plays with light and shade in that kind of pretty/strange way...

WATER! - MiMi

I'm not with the rest of the Sluts EP that came out two days ago... but this one is a stand out.

Yuna - Lullabies (Jim-E Stack Remix)

Jim-E Stack earned a name around Olympus after he did that bootleg for Purple Swag with the hella clean and poured-up video.  Yuna is from Malaysia and fucks wit Pharrell.

FaltyDL - Straight and Arrow (Four Tet remix)

New York producer FaltyDL is releasing his single 'Straight and Arrow' later next month. 

Bruiser Brigade + Danny Brown Freestyle

PitchforkTV. Selector.

So glad snaps are now back in style. So glad that getting pregnant is back in style too. Because this right here is a baby maker.

Rainy Milo - Miley EP

I've been trying to keep her a secret to myself. But I can't anymore. This is too smooth. Too melting. Too subtle. Too good. Watch out. Rainy Milo is coming strong.

The Weeknd - Rolling Stone (Video)

Miguel - Do You... (Video)

Taken from a Hessle Audio podcast.  I'm wondering if this is included on his RA podcast which I haven't gotten a chance to listen to.  Track is amazing.  

TCTS - Feels So Good

Free download from Annie Mac.  TCTS has performed alongside artists such as Disclosure and Bondax, to give you a sense of his style. 

Daphni - Jiaolong

Dan Snaith's debut LP under his club-oriented moniker is due for release 9 October. Containing several previously vinyl-only cuts, the album is an exercise in quality leftfield house from one of electronic music's most interesting figures.  Stream Jiaolong at RA.  I've included one of the tracks that immediately stood out up top.
