remix: Love Lockdown Flying Lotus

"I'm Not Loving You The Way I Wanted To"
Flying Lotus gives "Love Lockdown" a bit of a Burial. Ahum. Supa dubbbby. Studio headphones, X-Bass, and a box of Vanilla Dutchee's highly rec'd. FlyLo continues to crush the remixes. (via Mad Dec)

M83 "Kim & Jessie"


Flying Lotus "Parisian Goldfish"


Hercules & Love Affair "Blind"


Evangelicals "Midnight Vignettes"


Efterklang "Illuminant"


My Morning Jacket "Touch Me I'm Going To Scream Pt. 2"


Fleet Foxes "Sun Giant/Blue Ridge Mountains"



Yeasayer "2080"

mix: Flying Lotus

"Because We Separate"

When not increasing the syzurpy-ness of "A Milli" by tenfold, tweaking Reefer's "Let It Go" with Gravity Bong ooz, taking a scalpel to the membrane of "Reckoner" and dropping his own outer-wordly LP, Flying Lotus can be found sequencing bad ass mixes for the BBC, which includes Bobka favorites Alice Coltrane, Burial, Ghostly International's Osbourne, Portishead and even a Chocolate Star/Nelly Furtado mash up that features "Promiscuous Girl." Peep the comments for the tracklisting. It's a doozey. (via Mad Dec)

mix: Rooftop Party Mix

"The Summer, With Me And My Friends"

A few weeks ago I was asked to curate a mix for a friend's rooftop party on the Lower East Side. Set ideally next to the Williamsburg Bridge on a beautiful July evening with good friends and lots of exemplary party favors [can you say (un)frozen Lemonade and Vodka?], this rager truly had everything, including an appearance by the legendary, and somewhat mythical, Schluss-burger. Cheers!
