STUSSY x NIKE MYSTO ALL COURT MID...

Nice collabo between Stussy and NSW. A little loud, but clean nonetheless.

TOURIST...

Also out this week courtesy of Pictures Music is Tourist, the new EP from Seams. The EP is a brilliant blend of found sounds, gentle percussion and melodic soundscapes. If you're a fan of Four Tet (as you should be) you'll like this one a lot.

MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY...

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the new album from the incomparable KanYe West arrived today and I must say I'm impressed.

The production on the album is top-notch (even by Yeezy standards) and the vocals throughout are spot on with appearances from Jay-Z, KiD CuDi, The RZA, Raekwon, Nicki Minaj, Pusha T, Rick Ross, John Legend, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and many, many more. A nice return to form for hip-hop's reigning king of controversy.

ESCAPE FROM THE INCUBATOR...

Live drawing video by Sougwen Chung for Shigeto's debut on Ghostly International, Full Circle. Good stuff.

SHINY SUIT THEORY...

Big news this week. Emcee extraordinaire Jay Electronica has officially inked a deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation and is expected to FINALLY release Act 2: Patents of Nobility (the turn) sometime in 2011. The first official leak from the album is "Shiny Suit Theory" featuring Jay-Z and The Dream. Check the audio after the jump.

LETHERETTE EP...

Out this week courtesy of Ho_Tep Records is the self-titled debut EP from UK production duo Letherette. This one would make Dilla smile. Eight tracks (or Donuts) filled with spliced boogie, dusty samples, wonky beats and soulful melodies. Delicious.

BRIGHT LIGHTS BIGGER CITY...

Glossy new video from Cee-Lo Green. This is "Bright Lights Bigger City" from The Lady Killer. Good stuff.

Friday, November 12, 2010

HOT MESS...

Kick-ass new video from Canadian electro-funkateers Chromeo. This is "Hot Mess" from the recently released Business Casual. Two words for this one, simply irresistible.

Thursday, November 11, 2010

THE LADY KILLER...

Rounding out the new releases for this week is The Lady Killer, the highly-anticipated new record from Goodie Mob vet turned pop/soul sensation Cee-Lo Green. The album features production from Salaam Remi, Paul Epworth, Jack Splash and The Smeezingtons who hit a home run with the insanely catchy lead single "Fuck You".

Wednesday, November 10, 2010

FULL CIRCLE...

Also out this week via Ghostly International is Full Circle, the debut full-length from drummer/electronic beat maker Shigeto. This album is REALLY good. Check out the video below for a teaser of each track on the album.

Once you've been convinced that you need this music in your life, head over to the Ghostly Store and drop $8 and receive the entire album plus 5 remixes not found on iTunes including an absolute gem from Mike Slott.

MAN ON THE MOON II: THE LEGEND OF MR. RAGER...

Another big week for new releases. First up is Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, the highly-anticipated sophomore record from stoney hip-hop crooner KiD CuDi.

Production on the album is handled primarily by Emile, Dot Da Genius and Plain Pat and features guest vocals from Cee-Lo, KanYe West, Mary J. Blige, Cage and more. My first time through the album was a bit underwhelming. Let's see if it grows on me.

US (JON HOPKINS REMIX)...

Speaking of Nosaj Thing's Drift Remixed, here is the video for "Us (Jon Hopkins Remix)".

Friday, November 5, 2010

DRIFT REMIXED...

The second remix album comes courtesy of LA beat scene standout Nosaj Thing. Drift Remixed features 8 tracks from 2009's Drift remixed by the likes of Low Limit, Teebs, Jamie xx, Daedelus and Take. More often than not the remixes don't outdo the originals but there are a few high-quality efforts on here.

Thursday, November 4, 2010

SWIM REMIXES...

Two notable remix albums were released this week as well. First up is Swim Remixes from psychedelic sonic wizard Dan Snaith, aka Caribou. The album contains remixes of nearly every song from Swim from the likes of Junior Boys, Gold Panda, Ikonika, Nite Jewel, DJ Doze and more. A great companion piece to one of this 2010's finest releases.

L.A. SERIES #7...

Also out this week courtesy of All City is L.A. Series #7 featuring the notable talents of modern funk all-stars Dâm-Funk and Computer Jay. Behind the recent Daedelus/Teebs split probably my second favorite release in the series.

Tuesday, November 2, 2010

SMALL CRAFT ON A MILK SEA...

Also out this week is Small Craft On A Milk Sea, the new album from electronic music pioneer Brian Eno. The album is split pretty evenly between classic ambient compositions and suedo-industrial electronic tracks. I prefer the tracks that fall into the former category, but appreciate the experimental nature of the latter as well.

Monday, November 1, 2010

LIGHT YEARS...

BIG week for new releases. First up is Light Years, the highly-anticipated debut full-length from electro-funk beat makers Dark Party (Eliot Lipp + Leo 123). Fans of modern funk (think Dâm-Funk) and icy electro (think Jimmy Edgar) will be all over this one.
