Can someone answer for me why it has taken Jimmy Edgar and Travis Stewart aka Machinedrum this long to collaborate? The two have been friends for over 12 years for gods sake and are both among the vanguard of North American bass music. At least the name, timing and label for the release feels thorough. The Jets EP will be released on October 29 via long-standing Berghain party/collective/label  Leisure System who have released tunes from Eprom and Barker. For now, stream “Lock Lock Key”, a stuttering bit of chipmunk funk, completed by Stewart’s syncopated rhythms.

In which Joy Orbison maintains his position as the most intriguing man in dance music. Some  bedroom R&B (is there any other kind) and light techno fair to assist your next pre-funk and after the words “early in the morning when’s I think about you” are uttered, you know it’s all over really. This mix is very #rare of course so grab it right now. I mean it. Head over to RA to download and read a short interview with Joy O.

Lost Midas Drops Drum Sticks, Looks Up To The Future

Over the past few months, a number of producers from the TeamSupreme beat cypherin’ clique have snatched our attention. Every week, the new TeamSupreme volume makes our collective neck snap to dangerous degrees, leaving us equally sedated and turn’t. The latest TeamSupreme contributor to grab our attention is Lost Midas aka Jason Trikakis, a former drummer who has recently put down the drum sticks, moved to Los Angeles and taken up beat work. Jason’s brother, Nick, is fellow beatsmith NüTrik, and the two now form Luv Ü Records, a sort of artist collective/recording studio outfit that has released sessions from Gypsy Mamba and Kill The Computer over the past few months. Lost Midas’ own tunes aim for pop-inflected beat work, not unlike Com Truise, both in their structure and use of analogue synths. Trikakis doesn’t try and reclaim any lost nostalgia though, opting to look straight-forward. Check out the video for standout “Love Undone” here, and stream it below along with “Dance Monkeys”. The debut Lost Midas EP will be out on November 6.

Roc Marciano Shot The King

It’s a travesty that this is the first time that Roc Marciano has made into The Astral Plane and I take most of the responsibility. The fact of the matter is that no one outside of Action Bronson packs more rhymes that make you laugh, then scratch your head, then head straight to your computer to Google ’em. Who is Dave Wingate you ask? The 15 year NBA veteran who finished his career with the Sonics (R.I.P.) in 2001 of course. Peep the self-produced “I Shot The King” below and be prepared to rewind again and again and again. And then again. The track is off of Reloaded, dropping everywhere November 13 via Deacon.

Outside of the realm of the true school Chicago heads (Cedaa and Machinedrum being the exceptions), I’ve cooled off on juke as a whole. Rapidfire 808’s just don’t really do it for me anymore. Everyone once in a while though, a track comes along that really makes me wish I could footwork. “No 1 But You” by Berlin/Hamburg based Ticklish. Found this gem watching videos from Dimension Festival, specifically from Machinedrum’s (who else) set at XLR8R’s boat party. Anyways, grab a handful of amphetamines and get to work. Stream below.

Stream Two Outtakes From John Talabot’s ‘ƒin’

John Talabot’s ƒin, released on Permanent Vacation in January, will go down as one of the best electronic albums of the year. Complete electronic albums are few and far between, especially ones with peaks as lofty as the Pional assisted “So Will Be Now” and “Destiny”. The album’s layers of haze, propelled forward within a deep house construct, is a sound that the Barcelona native clearly owns. “Mai mes” and “Tragedial” are outtakes from ƒin and are clearly cut from the same cloth as the album, You can stream the two tracks below and/or grab them on a split 7″ if you’re lucky enough to catch Talabot with The xx on their joint US-Canada tour.

Stream New Dark Sky Single, Out December 7 Via 50Weapons

The London-based trio, known by most as Dark Sky, have cut their teeth remixing the likes of The xx and Kells over the past few years, own one of the best EP’s of the year in Black Rainbows and will see their next release on Modeselektor’s ever impressive 50Weapons imprint. Impressive much? Very much. “Shutter Speed” is certainly less melodic than Dark Sky’s past work, but despite its heaviness, manages to maintain an infectious rhythmic quality. Technically proficient bass music from the likes of  Pearson Sound and Boddika can be dense at times, but Dark Sky make catchy as hell tunes that are thoughtfully constructed and unique as well. Stream a clip of “Shutter Speed” below and grab it on December 7 via 50Weapons.

On Sunday (September 30), Diamond Bar, CA native Co. Fee will let loose the Bermuda EP, his first release since April of 2011. In the meantime, you can stream “Aqua lung”, a chilled out tune lead by looped strings and shuffling percussion reminiscent of “Gypsy Skirt”. When we interview Co. fee back in April, he said that he had a few new projects due by the end of 2012 including an EP with Ohio MC Note so hopefully we will be hearing more about that soon. In the meantime, lay back to “Aqua lung” and get your clicker finger ready for Sunday.
