Mickey Pearce – Don’t Ask Don’t Get

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Abeano Artist:

No, Mickey Pearce isn’t just that bit character on Only Fools and Horses. To those in the know, he’s also the man formerly known as Shortstuff and to his mum, Richard Attely. Although he’s used the name before (for edits of Ms Dynamite and Cassie) he’ll release his first disc for vinyl label Swamp 81 on Feb 6th. It’s been around on radio rip for a while but now you can preview a final version of the thumping ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Get’ below.

Azealia Banks – Bambi

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Abeano Artist:

If you’re into watching fashion shows you may have already heard some of this new Azealia Banks track. Smart label Mugler (under the direction of Lady Gaga’s mate Nicola Formichetti) used it as the background music for male models to walk to at a recent fashion week. If you’re unsure about the breathy intro (although we love her giggling “are you an Aquarius”) it all kicks in at 1 min 57. Happy weekend!

Posted on January 27, 2012 by sian Artist: /

Double the mix to get you through Friday and into the weekend.

GoldFFinch – Point of Entry / Funky Steppa

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Abeano Artist:

Belgian duo GoldFFinch – who you may remember from 2011′s ‘Red Mask’ release on Glasgow’s Numbers – have a busy start to 2012 with two releases on 877 and Saigon records. Point of Entry is punchy 808 heavy track while Funky Steppa / Groove Panda (out 13th February) are straightforwardly for the dancefloor. Check them all out below.

Round Up

Remix Round Up: Javeon McCarthy, Metronomy, Two Inch Punch, Egyptrixx, New Build

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Abeano Artist: / / /

Javeon McCarthy – Lost Time (Eats Everything Rework)

Julio Bashmore collaborator Javeon McCarthy is remixed by Eats Everything (who you may remember from a Southern Fried compilation). As you’d expect, he really puts the bounce in this track. Hear the original via Dipped in Dollars.

 

Metronomy – The Look (TIP’s Shook Shook Rework)

One soundcloud commenter suggests that if he had a girlfriend he would cheat on her with this Two Inch Punch rework of Metronomy’s ‘The Look’. Whether he’s envisioning getting it on with the actual MP3 or just to it, we’ll never know, but one thing is for sure; TIP has definitely loved up the original version.

Massive Attack – Hymn of the Big Wheel (Egyptrixx Remix)

If the Massive Attack x Burial collaboration was too expensive for you then maybe you’ll be into this new remix from Egyptrixx. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Massive Attack’s 1991 album Blue Lines, he’s remixed ‘Hymn of the Big Wheel’.

New Build – Do You Not Feel Loved (Remixes)

Hot Chip’s other other side project New Build release another 12″ on their own Lanark label. Two German techno artists take on the track ‘Do You Not Feel Loved?’. New Build: Big In Germany?

Zebra Katz – Ima Read/Hey Ladies

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Abeano Artist:

We’ve had this unsettling, heavy track from onetime multimedia/performance artist Zebra Katz on repeat since Monday. Released via Mad Decent imprint Jeffree’s, it’s made even better when you know that “reading” is an old voguing term describing someone verbally insulting an opponent about something not so apparent (to the average viewer). “A good reader could tear you apart with one simply sentence.” explain the label. Check/download it (and the b side) ‘Hey Ladies’ below.

Dam Mantle – Her Woes

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Abeano Artist:

A J Dilla sample, unsettling synths and frantic clicks make up Glasgow based producer Dam Mantle’s ‘Her Woes’, the other half to that new Becoming Real track we shared last week. Like that, the best way to hear this is by turning it up really really really loud because – while both of them might excel at making experimental, ghostly music – these are definitely meant for parties. Paramnesia/Her Woes is out Feb 27th via GETME! Records.

Mix

Brey – Die Wunderful Mix

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Abeano Artist:

Brey DJ-ed our Sunless ’97 launch so we know that when it comes to putting it together for a party, he’s a bit of a pro. Case in point, this ‘Die Wunderful’ mix featuring his own remixes of Joe and Cassie, Kreayshawn plus a whole lot of unreleased original material. Jai Paul, Two Inch Punch and Tune Yards also appear. “Rare mix for Red Bull as part of their Introducing series, shouts to the PMR Gang, go & break yo f*ckin neck to this….or think about that broad… :( ” he says.

Video

Sleigh Bells – Comeback Kid

Posted on January 25, 2012 by sian Artist:

In the new video for ‘Comeback Kid’ Sleigh Bells give ‘found footage’ and slick visuals the middle finger with a combination of sunglasses, leather, dangerous dance moves and (of course!) guns n lipstick. It’s as fun as you’d expect but – we have to confess – a small part of our brain thought

Watch

Spector – Chevy Thunder

Posted on January 25, 2012 by Rhian Artist:

We never thought we’d see the day when Spector (or should that be Menudo) ditched the suits but, in the video for their new single ‘Chevy Thunder’, they do just that – for a while, anyway. Wearing some garish shirts, the boys head on a roadtrip across America and over the border into Mexico in a – you guessed it – Chevrolet, stopping along the way to smash guitars on the side of the highway, get up close and personal with women old enough to be their (grand?)mothers and end it all in a faux-brawl with some seriously tatted gangsters. You don’t get that kind of action down Efes.
