Video Games (JLYMN RMX) - Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey is not a name that I allow to enter into my vocabulary, let alone is she a subject matter I would've ever considered typing into the blogosphere......until yesterday. Remix after remix after godforsaken remix, of  barely a handful of songs the girl has released (only officially as of today?) could easily have been considered the bain of my existence over the past few months. No amount of Damon Albarn, Jamie Woon, Balam Acab, or Clams Casino could convince me to understand why she deserves my attention.

While, yes I do have to admit to paying attention to her now (sort of), it's actually London based sound design student JLYMN (pronounced Jellyman) who's caught my eardrums. The glitched out, dubstep bass line maintains the downtempo sadness that I can only imagine was the true intention of the song in the first place.

Rhiannon - Essáy & Stumbleine

This collaboration between Simon Schilling aka Essáy and Bristol producer Stumbleine is a sunshiney 'not quite remix' of Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon. Download this and slew of other eps, remixes, and tracks over at Stumbleine's bandcamp.

The Look - Metronomy (Two Inch Punch 'Shook Shook' Re-Work)

Admittedly, I have spent next to no time at all paying attention to Metronomy for no other reason than pure laziness. This Two Inc Punch re-work might be the inspiration I need to visit to original version of this song. Thanks to Annie Mac for posting this download for free!

"Crazy in Love" refix - Myown

Without so much as a facebook page it's a wonder 1400 people are following Myown on soundcloud. I stumbled across this classy, cosmic bass version of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" via my new fav producer of the moment Throwing Snow. Almost no information to be found on these guy(/s/gal/s) except a few random links to vimeo pages and a plea for donations so they can buy pot.

"One Grain of Sand" - Josh Jukes

Josh Jukes, the man behind the synths in an instrumental outfit hailing from the UK called Achilles, has been posting some solo releases as of late on Soundcloud. Lots of spacey atmosphere from both the band and the solo effort, but a more vibey hip hop instrumentation on his own is what I'm diggin'.

"One" live - Rewolmer


Check out a live recording from Copenhagen producer Rewolmer via xlr8r today. With the James Blake-esque wooziness I suspect we'll be hearing more from this guy in 2012.

Crossbeat - Live @ Liquid Flavaz for Urgent.fm

Crossbeat is an appropriately named producer who is blending IDM/Downtempo & Drum & Bass. Check out this live set he did for Urgent.fm back in December. The vocals on the last track are especially beautiful.

"Warp" - Kantyze

The first track off Hospital Records Democast, a podcast dedicated to demos received by unsigned producers throughout the year, features French duo, Kantyze. This is a classy joint that reminds me of the liquid LTJ Bukem days of DnB.

"wen uuu" - Shlohmo

There are no words to describe how much I am loving this new track by Shlohmo. His new EP, Vacation drops next month on Friends of Friends. Even better, is knowing that a remix from Nicolas Jaar will follow on 12" in March.

"Worries" - Faws

"Do I worry about achievement? No....I worry about a lot of things, but I don't worry about achievement. I worry primarily about whether there are nightclubs in heaven."

Amen.
