Dj Marky and XRS feat. Stamina MC - LK (Barcelona)
This song is great and never grows old to me. Call it a classic!

Felix Da Housecat - What Does It Feel Like
I had this album and left it in my car one day. After had become warped beyond almost any usefulness, I could only play the songs at the end of each side and closest to the center of the record. Sad but true.

Royksopp - Sparks
This is realhead coffee shop music. I'll take five espressos and a cinny-scone. Royskopp are quality.
Atom
Autechre - Dropp
I've unfortunately missed the boat on Autechre and am currently tring to catch up and I suppose this is a good place to start. This is a nice piece of art. Supposedly this is the unofficial video but it looks good to me.

Lazer Sword - I Get Money Remix
Remixed audio by Lazer Sword and video remix by Lonnie Gallegos of 50 cents "I get money."
Remixes can be great and this is one example. In the spirit of Danger Mouse, Lazer Sword has completely distorted and remastered this 50 Cent hit. Truthfully I've never been a big fan but give due respect to his success. Lazer Sword tears this one up and finds some additional strength in it. I think remixes like this will continue to be more common with permission or not. It's a way for artists to get attention that could be just enough to become a star.

Anthony Rother - Hacker
When I listen to latin flavored music I don't care for English, I wanna hear Spanish. When I lesten to techno it better be German because nothing sounds better with it. I don't suppose this track will be know as groundbreaking but it makes me nostalgic for the days when I started listening to electronic music, and explored some German compilations that were kind of freaky sounding. Electronic music will always be alive in Germany.

DON RIMINI - OHOW?
DON RIMINI FIRST VIDEO OHOW? KICK N RUN EP MENTAL GROOVE - DELICIOUS GUTTER
Have you ever watched girls spray whipped cream all over one another in slow motion? I have now. Video aside this song is a hit. I've been blasting away at the snow with this one, keeping it warm for the spring I know is coming.

Mr. Oizo - Flat Beat
This is one crazy puppet. Mr. Oizo flips out a beat that makes ya wanna shake ya tailfeather or make your favorite puppet shake it's.

Vivian Girls - Tell The World
Directed by Timothy Fiore.
This video and song are perfect genius. The band sounds like some of the bands I used to see when I was in high school, except none of them consisted of cute girls who could harmonize vocals. This song is an instant classic, but they may need to tighten their chops for any long-term run at success. All aside I love it.

Senor Cocunut and His Orchestra - Smooth Operator Remix
The info I got on this video is a little ambiguous. It runs a little long but doesn't stop sounding good at any point. So rock it out.
Atom
Telepathe - So Fine
Directed by Katherine Nolfi From Telepathe's album Dance Mother, in stores in America April 14th through IAMSOUND Records
This is a somewhat eerie, yet happy song. This should definitely be on the radio everywhere. Hope to here more soon.

Vybz Kartel - Sen Fi Mi Army
dark again riddim by stephen di genius mcgregor
Dude! It would be wise to make sure that you never cause Vybz Kartel to sen fi him army mon! Shots will be licked and asses kicked. Hardcore Jamaica, if you're scared you probably should be.
Atom
M.I.A. - Paper Planes
M.I.A. has finally hit it big with this track. It can be heard anywhere and everywhere. The success is well-deserved. I still haven't grown tired of it after probably a thousand listens. Don't fight it, assimilate.
Atom
Pharoahe Monch - When The Gun Draws
BE WARNED - EXTREMELY DISTURBING AND VIOLENT. Pharoah Monch tackles an issue in a manner that scares the viewer and stares America's gun control issue down with a travel through the underbelly of disfunction and abuse. Hopefully it will shock the issue into the forefront. Problems don't go away by themselves.
Atom
Braze featuring Shad K - Uhh, Shook
This track is hilarious and so is the video. "You need a time out worse than the fab five." The beat is accompanied with some funky sitar for some Persian flavored hip hip.
Atom
Moka Only - Do
"Do" by Moka Only from the album Vermilion.
There was a time when I though Moka Only had poised himself to be the next great hip hop artist. Years later it hasn't exactly played out that way, but he can still kick out a jam and this here is a prime example.
Atom
Elzhi - That's The One
This video is featured on Elzhi's Myspace! His new Album, The Preface (Released on Fat Beat Records), is in stores now!
Elzhi is one of the most gifted memebers to come out of Slum Village. This video is a montaqge of clips of Elzhi and images of Detroit's past and present. Elzhi is always consistent and is guest vocalist on tracks by many of our favorites and for good reason.

Del The Funky Homosapien - Mistadoblina
Del tha Funkee Homosapien is an alternative hip hop artist. Del was born Teren Delvon Jones on August 12, 1972 in Oakland, California. He currently lives in Richmond, California. He is Ice Cube's cousin.
This is the track that originally put Del on the map. Numerous albums and projects later, Del is one of the most renowned creators of true hip hop and continues to push the envelope for the genre.

Fischerspooner - Emerge
When electro became revived some years ago, the German outfit Fischerspooner did it better than any other. They took the whole genre to a level as much punk in origin as electronic. The video cracks me up and is sometimes disgusting. It will certainly keep your attention even if it confuses you.
Atom
Atmosphere - Trying To Find A Balance
From the album Seven's Travels, this track is a good example of the Atmosphere sound. Disgruntled and dysfunctional are good ways to describe Slug's demeanor. I've been a huge fan of thesse guys over the years and have seen a handful of their shows and have never been disappointed. I'm not too crazy about the new album, but experimentation always comes with some error.
Atom
Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes
Directed by Nima Nourizadeh, this video is a strange one. Despite the odd visuals, this is one of the best songs of what I'm going to have to call my album of the year last year. This track has made the rounds on my local independent alternative station as it should. I completely wore this album out to the point of knowing almost all the words, you remember how we used to do that in the old days before the downloads started. I strongly recommend buying the album, it is an instant cult classic.
