Phantogram

I've been feeling super nostalgic for the days of trip hop recently. It might be the weather, it might just be that time, but my old Portishead, Massive Attack and Morcheeba albums sound completely on point. I just downloaded the Winter Mix from Chirp, a seasonal "mixtape" put out by Kevin Byrd and Co. Each quarter he gets a homie to design a cover for his compilation. I jam out on it on the regular. I was psyched to discover Phantogram, a duo comprised of Sarah Barthel and Joshua Carter from Saratoga Springs, NY. Their part of the Ghostly International family and I loved the record As Far As I Can See from their debut album, Eyelid Movies.

Diplo x Gucci Mane Mixtape

As Gucci Mane sits in jail serving out his year-long bid for parole violation, dont think his fans arent thinking of him.

Download it here.

1. "Danger's Not a Stranger (Diplo Remix)"

Ghetto Palms: Phone Sex

My good friend, selector, editor and new dad DJ Eddie Stats puts together a weekly mini-mix of tunes for The FADER to keep us up to date on sounds coming from our friendly south-lying island neighbors. Check out this week's comp and download it here! (Rightclick-save as)


So it’s spring time and apparently sex is in the airwaves. It started with Major Lazer’s "Hold the Line." Then Cham and Santigold did the booty call collabo "Call Mi." Then somebody messed up and passed the number to Demarco and Busy and the phone sex jams have um, multiplied forthwith.

Phone Sex Blend:
Cham f. Santigold, "Call Mi"
Major Lazer f. Santigold and Mr. Lexx, "Hold the Line" (Ghislain Poirier rmx)
Demarco, "She Can’t Wait"
Busy Signal, "Da Style Deh"
Busy Signal, "Nah Ansa"
Busy Signal, "The Ansa"

Danger Mouse And Sparklehorse Team Up With David Lynch

I have no words. Honestly I don't. And I have lots of words all the time. Words I share with your dog, words I share with your mom. I can't stop listening to this body of work (we can't call it an album now, can we?). Julian Casablancas, Nina Persson, the Shins, Iggy Pop, Suzanne Vega and more and more and more and DAVID LYNCH. This is a sleepy collection of songs with a dark shadowy inky presence. This might be your only chance to hear it exclusively at NPR before it's gone forever.
