Listen: SBTRKT – “Fried Eggs” [Japanese Bonus Track]
Despite his affinity for ceremonial tribal masks and anonymity, masked producer SBTRKT has become a staple in the London electronic music scene. His self-titled debut record hooked listeners all over the world, so it was only fair that the Japanese version of the album included a special never-before-heard track titled “Fried Eggs”. No surprises here and it’s pretty much just what we’ve come to expect from SBTRKT.

MiaoMix Monday #5 [Halloween]
Today is Halloween and today’s the perfect day to celebrate. I put together a mix of songs that in my opinion would be great to listen to during Halloween. None of them are actually directly related to Halloween in any way, but I think they have a very suitable vibe. The playlist this week isn’t really focused on any specific genre, but the first half of the playlist is rap and the 2nd half is a mix of dubstep, folk, and R&B music. The last song is “John Wayne Gacy, Jr.” by Sufjan Stevens and if you’re at all familiar with the song, you’d think it wouldn’t fit in this playlist, but I think that it’s a perfect ending to this week’s mix.
Kid CuDi – “Maniac (feat. Cage & St. Vincent)”
Das Racist – “Sit Down, Man (feat. El-P) (Produced by Scoop Deville)”
Tyler, The Creator – “Tron Cat”
GZA/Genius – “Shadowboxin'”
The Weeknd – “Wicked Games”
Massive Attack – “Paradise Circus (Zeds Dead Remix)”
Burial – “Archangel”
Sufjan Stevens – “John Wayne Gacy, Jr.”
Listen: Childish Gambino vs Chiddy Bang – “Put It In Your Manners (DJ 21azy Mashup)”
This mashup came out a couple of days ago, but I thought it should be posted here so more people could listen to it. It’s a mashup of Childish Gambino‘s “Put It In My Video” and Chiddy Bang‘s “Mind Your Manners”. You can listen to the feel-good track below.
DJ 21azy has already done some pretty good mashups, so if you like this mashup make sure to check out his Soundcloud page here.
Jamie xx Teams Up With Quayola for “Progress”
Producer Jamie xx teamed up with multimedia artist Quayola and his team, Abstract Birds, to create stunning visuals for a brand new track entitled “Progress”. Resembling a sort-of DNA strand, the video was created using two 15-meter HD screens and Partitura software as part of the ‘Structures’ project with Rizlab.
You can watch the video over at Rizlab’s webpage. More videos will be released as the week progresses, including recordings of Jamie xx and Quayola from a September 22nd live performance.
James Blake Performs “Enough Thunder” and More at KEXP
There are only a few days left between now and October 10, but James Blake fans can shorten the wait for his new EP, Enough Thunder, by checking out a live performance of the title track, along with five other tracks from the self-titled LP, that Blake did over at KEXP.
Enough Thunder will be out in the UK on the 10th and in the US on the 4th.
Listen: Daft Punk – “Drive”
To celebrate their 20th anniversary, Scottish label Soma Records will be putting out a compilation CD, which includes an unreleased gem from Daft Punk, dating all the way back to 1994. The label put out a preview of the thumping, electro banger on their Soundcloud page a few hours ago, which you can listen to below.
Soma Records: 20 Years will be released on September 19, 2011.
Video: SBTRKT – “Pharoahs (feat. Roses Gabor)”
British producer SBTRKT may still be hiding behind his mask, but his music is certainly making waves. His newest single “Pharoahs”, from his fantastic self-titled debut album, has received an artistic set of visuals, keeping things simple with multiple shots of guest vocalist Roses Gabor singing her lines over SBTRKT’s intricately-crafted post-dubstep beats. We still are unable to see past the producer’s mask, with randomly dispersed shots of him painting the camera with black paint and what seems to be a peak through the eyes of the mask. Abstract, mysterious, but beautiful — a formula that not only describes this video, but also his vibrant music. You can watch for yourself below.
SBTRKT is out now via Young Turks.
New Justice Music Video
Justice has just unveiled the music video for their new single, “Audio, Video Disco”. The new single is also the title of the new album, which will be released on October 25th. The song has gotten mixed reactions because the song is a lot different than their old sound, but we want to know what you think about the new song. Watch the video below.
