Frequent collaborators John Talabot and Pional have once again come together to produce music that makes me the opposite of angry. This time it has arrived in the form of an eight and a half minute remix of The xx’s “Chained” from their recent album Coexist. Inspired by The Streets’ melancholy yet euphoric classic “Blinded by the Lights”, this is going to take you places. Not like your Uncle does in his mini-van when he has to run “errands” and drop off “foo-foo dust” to his “friends”, but like…make you feel good and use your dusty brain.

Available to download for a limited time only — although let’s face it, it will be uploaded to infinite sources by various kind souls after this period — Disclosure are offering a remix of the Artful Dodger classic “Please Don’t Turn Me On”. The tune has been around in various incarnations for a while now, surfacing in full form last month, but now you can call it your own for the princely sum of a mouse click. It’s like bloody Christmas or something.

Apologies for the current trend of starting posts with ‘it’s been 2 weeks’ but… It’s been 2 weeks since Five Easy Pieces released fLako’s Eclosure EP. Apparently, Mating Dance could be classified as jazz, which is fantastic news. This is basically my idea of perfect music; who can decline the offer of happy-go-lucky tribal patterns, ambling strings and angelic vocals floating through your brain machine? Not to mention the “is that a vocal or a synth” progressions that take over.
If you’re not convinced, check fLako’s IA mix after the jump and go trekking.

Danger EP is a free, 4-track release from Katy B and a group of long-time collaborators and similar talents including Jessie Ware, Jacques Greene, Wiley, Geeneus, Diplo and Iggy Azaelia. Come to think of it, a line-up like that should do a new Band Aid. They’d certainly produce something a little less confusing and woeful than “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” It would probably also annoy Sting and, in my book at least, that’s always a good thing…
Listen to the title track after the jump and download the full release over at Katy B’s official site.

It’s been 2 weeks since Austin Peralta sadly passed away. He was pretty much at the forefront of a jazz/improvisational awakening in terms of electronic music. Lord only knows who is out there ready to pick up where Peralta left off had only just started. His 2011 album Endless Planets is definitely next level but we cannot stop playing “Lapis” on loop right now. Full HD glory after the jump, RIP Austin.

The chromosomatically (?) titled xxyyxx today uploaded a short remix of Beyonce’s “Check On It”. On Facebook he stated that he made it on a plane, which explains the diminutive track length and the slightly frenetic get-me-out-of-this-box feeling. I wish I could be as productive when I’m in the sky but usually I just spend the whole time trying not to look at the weird crust smeared on my belt buckle and holding back the urge to shout about all the crumbs.
