1.) Parisian DJ Strip Steve's new 'Skip School' EP, he's on Institubes I believe.
2.) Austrian Dub masters DubbleStandArt have dropped yet another album of ten-megaton grooves with their latest record, "Return From Planet Dub". This album was produced by none other than dub legend and founder Lee Scratch Perry, and recorded in his infamous Kingston studio. Also has vocal collaborations with German singer Gudrun, and the always-crazy dancehall queen Ari Up. Highly reccomended if you like dub or reggae at all.
3.) Perth, Australia may not be on the radar for electronic music, but 20-year old DJ 'Shazam" has produced a real winner with his latest EP, "Pool Party 2008/2009", which features such killer tracks as "Pool Party 2009" and "Hello Cat", which will have even the most apathetic hipster at least tapping their foot along to the beat.
4.) L.A's DJ Classixx, my vote for best remixer of 09' [I had a psychic conference with Carles before making this call] recently did a version of Stone's Throw Records artist Mayer Hawthorne's song "Green Eyed Love." Download it for free.99 at: http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/Mayer_Hawthorne/track/Green_Eyed_Love_Classixx_Remix___
5.) Also on the awesome-radar is this new single by crazy NY indie dance group "Turbo Fruits" [how's that for a name!]. An Aptly-named track I would say, it's been making me get in the mood for a road trip:
6.) Finally, here's a new single by London's Fyfe Dangerfield:
Love the chorus on this... "I Want You Endlessly" seems like a cliche line until you hear it sung with this kind of inspiration.... kind of makes you want to sing along!!
Thats it for now. Much love. -Phil.
