sorry about us not posting.. you know, college calls. you can help by sharing and caring:

anywæ, here are a few of the tracks that have been bouncing around in my head lately and that have been trashing my stereos with dey fat beets or helpless indie-ness.

Segregated by Genre:

Electro House:

Bumpy Ride (Chuckie Remix) - Mohombi *

Fidget house returns? Not quite, but this is an awesome, synth-heavy fidgety epically awesome pop remix. So good.

Dubstep:

Gold Dust (Flux Pavilion Remix) - DJ Fresh *

This came out a whilleeee ago but i rediscovered it and man is it good. A bummer of an intro, but the drop makes you want to go hijack a wolf and ride it up a mountain, Princess Mononoke style.

Marmite (Doctor P Remix) - Caspa – BUY

I love this. if nausea had a sound and it was set to a 70 bpm beat, this would be it. much much better than the original version.

The Darlingtons:

Amiss - The Long Lost * – BUY

I love these people. As already mentioned, the Long Lost are Daedelus and his wife on an indie, multi-instrumental, acoustic electro journey. This song is one of the lighter ones off their ep but the rest of it is absolutely rich and beautiful anyway. But, just listen to this. i like it, a lot. (i identify with the lyrics, too)

Cloak And Dagger - Daedelus – BUY

I love this man. El Langosta and I saw him play at Low End Theory last wednesday and it was awesome, and now im in love with him. This track is pretty characteristic of some of his style, very all-over but an interesting listen.

PEACE

The Long Lost

The Long Lost is L.A. experimental beat-god (and Victorian Era enthusiast) Daedelus aka Alfred Darlington and his wife, Laura Darlington, who you may recognize from one or two Flying Lotus tracks (Infinitum and Table Tennis, I believe) that she sang on. Together they make romantic indie-pop jams, COMPLETELY on another level from the usual Daedelus, but still with the really high-quality production you'd expect from him. Gonna buy their album as soon as I buy the next three on my list (Plastic Beach, Moments. In the meantime, I'm listening to these:

-Their podcast for XLR8R last year (mostly not their material, but an AMAZING batch of songs nonetheless)

-Sibilance - The Long Lost (right-click/save as)
If you've ever taken a Latin poetry class, your ear has probably been trained to detect alliteration as much as mine. That having been said, let's just say the title plays a lot into this song, in a clever kind of way. Cool song, very math-y, and in a good way. Nice vocal counterpoint on Daedelus' point as well, love what he's singing.

-Woebegone (Flying Lotus' Luckiest Charm) - The Long Lost (right-click/save as)
A gem of a remix from the ever-reliable Flying Lotus, this track was actually recommended to me by Daedelus himself when I chatted with him briefly at a show last week. That's what inspired me to check out the Long Lost in the first place. Great Bossa Nova feel to this one.

-Woebegone (Fly Lo's Like Woe) - The Long Lost (right-click/save as)
Hey, another Flying Lotus remix! The last one was more chill, but this one is way more funky and typical Flylo. Those synths are identical to the thick-as-fuck ones he used in Computer Being (on Cosmogramma). Good stuff!!
