Santogold – L.E.S. Artistes In which super Santi sits astride a horse and people murderize each other on the streets of east London using all kinds of amazing special effects. This is star-making stuff.

We used to think foxes were cool because they’re wily rule breakers with great hair. Then we lived next to a churchyard for a while and found out they wail like strangled babies. Fleet Foxes have wisely kept the cool/great hair part and replaced the creepy moaning with hymnal harmonies. Well played, vulpine dudes. Fleet [...]

Chromatics – Killing Spree In which Johnny Chromatic films Ruth Chromatic swimming with a wolf while the sun dances on the water in glorious monochrome. This is hypnotically beautiful. If you’re feeling a little worse for wear today, watch this 20 times in a row and feel soothed. It’s working for us.

Ladyhawke – Back Of The Van In which Modular’s new pop queen channels Bonnie Tyler for the latest (and hopefully last) chapter of faux-retro sexual seduction.Incidentally: Ladyhawke, Ladyhawk and Adeyhawke… is this the future of band names? Multiple variations on the same word? Remember you read this on Pinglewood.com. Not Pinglewoode.com or Pingelwood.com.

Here Diplo flips the new kings of 90s sampledelia back a decade and reveals the hitherto unknown menace within Careless Whisper. A full LP of this stuff [...]

Hey Peter (of Bjorn & John fame), we know how you feel. Talking to people sucks. And thanks, not for your literate Paul Simon acousticness, but for providing our second melodic George Michael reference in two days. We’re calling this a revival and have already started sculpting our stubble. Peter Moron – Social Competence [mp3] [...]

Tane Mahuta is a giant kauri tree in the Waipoua Forest of Northland Region, New Zealand (Thanks Wikipedia!). This song is a giant totem of fun that’s taken permanent root in our brains. It’s still winter but the Ruby Suns‘s new album feels like sand between our toes. We can’t wait to listen to this [...]

We like A1 Bassline because his name makes a promise and the music delivers. In his remixes bassline house, fidget house, rappy rap and speed garage boil and bubble over bone-shakingly low, seismic frequencies. Cadence Weapon – House Music (A1 Bassline remix) [mp3] Damaged Goods – Yo Righteous (A1 Bassline remix) [mp3] A1 vs Daft [...]
