Here’s some new music, some from old artists, some from new, some solo stuff from artists you know from other bands (such as Massive Attack). You’ll figure it all out I’m sure. Cuz I have not. Peace, suckas.

Classic rapper, show & prove producer, outré hip hop from factor, moody grime, poppy punk, thrash metal punk, classic must have soul, noise rock, “Scottish crate-digging team offer up . . . feral rockabilly and early surf from the ’50s and early ’60s,” straight forward jazz, modern jazz, ill piano beats, and even more…classic Wu from the underrated U-God.

Sofrito Super Discoteca Down Under Mix

“The original discotheque DJs of the 70s weren’t restricted by genre – they mixed up soul, funk, rock and experimental music to create the nascent disco sound. The Sofrito sound starts from the same point but draws from the tropics – combining bassline soukous, cosmic highlife, stripped-down drum edits, raw carnival rhythms, Manding vibes, scratchy calypso and modern productions that continue in the grand tradition of the discotheque, from Abidjan to Detroit via London, Paris and beyond…”

The Pixies – Bagboy

Gotta give it to Knile this week, he came out of no where with a band I’ve never heard of from New Zealand, Fat Freddy’s Drop (I’ll admit at first I was skeptical cuz I wasn’t really digging the name but after a listen I bite my tongue). And I thought I’d up the New Zealand musician ante and throw in another of their awesome songstresses, Aaradhna.

Fat Freddy’s Drop – Based on a True Story

Aaradhna – Treble & Reverb

And the non-New Zealand contestants for the week-

Hanni El Khatib – Head In The Dirt

Heliocentrics – 13 Degrees of Reality

Deerhunter – Halcyon Digest
