FF: Kartell



We have a new player in the french-disco house game, he's mixing samples like a pro under the alias Kartell. From France, naturally, this up & comer will bring you back to glory of last years hot summer jams via: Breakbot, Aeroplane, Classix, Fred Falke, and so forth. There are also some other features to Kartell's style. Listen to the track 'Better Vocals' for a little more of an electro pre-dubstep flow via last year's: Super Mal & Phonat. Can't wait for an ep to drop!

You had me at hello




Thank you Living Ears for bringing this to my attention. I agreed this is like an incredibly mellow VEGA (Alan Palomo's former project, he's now known as Neon Indian) on a vacation in the tropics. Talk about vintage, analog, synthy, mega chill tunes. iLike.

FF: The Books



A strange musical adventure first began 10 yrs ago in NYC, and now it awaits you here. The Books manage to compile tunes using obscure instruments, sound samples, dialogue, & effects. I like the free nature of their songs, I never know what's going to come next. Completely spontaneous overtones in everything they do. Now for some fave tracks as per usual.

The Books - The Lemon of Pink <33333
The Books - Tokyo <33333
The Books - All Our Base Are Belong To Them <3333
The Books - Read, Eat, Sleep <3333
The Books - Take Time <333
The Books - Enjoy Your Worries, You May Never Have Them Again <333

FF: Harlem



With the huge success of their 2010 album ' Hippies', Harlem has been getting more and more love from all different directions. Pitchfork rated the album 8.1 just to give you a general idea of the album's appeal. It's that upbeat jump around on your bed lo-fi rock and roll. My favorite on the album BY FAR is 'Friendly Ghost', I just can't help but be exstatic when I hear that drum line. Not only has Harlem received massive blog-love, many magazines (Dazed & Confused, Nylon, Vice, etc.) have been promoting the album as well. Gorilla vs. Bear first drew me in with the single 'Gay Human Bones' in March 2010, and then later threw their album (released in April) into their fave albums of 2010 thus far. You might find them similar to Wavves, Beach Fossils, & even the early material from Hives. Though they're not as distorted as Wavves, not as surf-rock as Beach Fossil, and not as heavy as The Hives, they've fused into a feel all their own, and I like it. :)Here are my favorite tracks from the new album. (Check out their last.fm & facebook pages for more info.)

Harlem - Friendly Ghost <3333
Harlem - Tila and I <33333
Harlem - Gay Human Bones <3333



OH and p.s. Teen Daze released a cute lil' mixtape for Internation Tapes entitled 'sunset/dusk/night'. It's lost of chillwave, french house, and just pure lovely. ^_____________^

Teen Daze - Summer/Dusk/Night <33333
"Sunset.
We arrived in the city at the start of the sunset. Wandering around crowded sun swept streets, finding somewhere to get lost in our generation. We found the beat coming from the beach. We danced in the sand, shining water and orange all around us.
1. Lifelike – Sunset
2. Le Knight Club – Boogie Shell
3. Active Child – When Your Love Is Gone
Dusk.
We made a fire, told our stories and looked into each other’s eyes. We felt young, and dreamed of staying this way forever. We held hands, watched the moon come over the water, and dreamt of summer love.
4. Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti – Can’t Hear My Eyes
5. Braids – Lemonade
6. Houses – Endless Spring
Night.
We found our way back to the train, and watched as the lights flew by. All our hopes, all our dreams, all our ambition; we just wanted to sleep. Tomorrow will bring the sun, so for now we’ll love the cold.
7. Memoryhouse – Bonfire
8. Neon Canyon – Photosynthesis"
