On the heels of his gorgeous Burial “Shell of Light” remix, Shlohmo up’d the ante with this UNFUCKINGREAL remix of Drake’s “Marvin’s Room”. This is one of the coolest “chill” rap remixes probably ever. Shlohmo is absolutely killing it right now. We couldn’t be bigger fans. Witness below.

OK, so we did some digging and found another track from the inscrutable Al Bizzare. Maybe it really is Skrillex or maybe it’s David Guetta but it’s most likely it’s just these two relatively unknown Russian dudes. That said, “Fire Breazze” is great and definitely deserves some shine, so here comes.

Our fav so far off Ritual Union. “Please Turn” is maybe the hardest album track groove LD has been on yet. We’re loving it.

Annie Mac debuted it on her Friday night BBC program and now b3sci bring you the North American premiere of Leo Zero’s new remix for Bombay Bicycle Club. Mr. Zero levels up the kick, adds a cool new kinetic bassline, and tops it off with some sweet synth and dub guitar flourishes. The resulting mix is fine complement to the original track and amounts to the most delicious of Brit rock electro sundaes for your Monday. (we got rhymes!)

Yeah this rips. Bummer High are a band from Vancouver that are into old country, Spacemen 3, and newer bands like Demon Claws. The sound on “Old Chief” reminds a bit of The Gun Club. Yep, they’re that legit.

Gross bro! “Waiting For You” is the latest from Brighton UK’s Sam McGarrigle a/k/a Gross Magic. The song is built around tightly processed electro drums and a simple four-note synth pattern (We’ll see if you can figure what one) and sounds a bit of “I Wish It Was Christmas Today”. See if you can sing it with us, “I Wish It Was Christmas Today. I Wish It Was Christmas Today. I Wish It Was Christmas Today. I Wish It Was Christmas Today.”

John Denver was one of the original OGs. Here our fav Pretty Lights takes the legendary singer/songwriter’s “Country Roads” for a spin around 2011 electro. Not only can this West Virginia mountain momma do a little two step, she can wobble pretty dang well too. b3sci Mountaineers we want to see those hands in the air.

AIVA, an artist out of D.C., delivers to you this striking cover of Nick Drake’s classic tune “Pink Moon”. Her take shifts the pensive acoustive shuffle of the original to a spacier, more expansive place. (think Moon Safari or Simple Things). Try out the track below and let us know what you think.

What a genius! Has there ever been more of a musical chameleon than Don Van Vliet? Well, maybe his longtime frenemy, Frank Zappa, which almost could’ve been the Lennon/McCartney of weird. I’m Glad proves that 60’s psychedelic rock never forsook the innocence of the first half of the decade. Rich production juxtaposed with economic instrumentation allows Vliet’s emotionally naked vocal to shine. Every listen of I’m Glad feels like the first time. If anything, the first two Beefheart albums are underrated. Contributed by Christopher Gedos

UPDATE: OK, so one of our readers sent thru to us a bunch of killer unreleased promos (some of which we may run later today, get psyched.), and this particular one was mislabeled? It may not be the collaboration we were led to believe it was Deadmau5 and/or Skrillex or not, the jam still knocks pretty hard. See if you can connect some of the dots in this mystery. WHO IS AL BIZZARE???
RE:Yes this is what you think it is. Not much else to say except shit is about to get intense.. Shouts to Pontus!
