Using hardware only, Pierre LX’s debut album Out 1 mixes genres in a unique way, with heavy UK bass influences. Enola nailed the remix with a driving beat and smooth transitions.

Not gonna front, kinda sounds like the Clipse. (which is freaking AWESOME). Great beat, great rhymes, and even a (sorta) great 50 feature. Get psyched, “Fear of God” is due March 21.

HudMo goes all the way back on this remix of Jamie Woon’s standout “Lady Luck” track. Mohawke rewinds back about 15 years here to a time when the beats were fat, the keys were heavy, and the slow jams shook. An ace look as Hudson Mohawke tips some straight vintage Timbo-type shit. Yeah!

Our man Shook flips the script on Ellie’s latest. Taking it coast to coast, first with a bit of east coast swing on the now jazzed up bass track and then a little wild west with the yacht-smooth synth flourishes. Lightspeed.

“All At Once” is the title track from the forthcoming and sophomore LP from the Airborne Toxic Event. This stripped down live take is solid. The, dare we say, Spingsteen-like qualities also heard in “Sometime Around Midnight” are showcased in a fresh and inviting type of way.

Yes! Grooves in rock and roll! We need more of this! Grooves and guitars! Rock and roll is the devil’s music, kids. The devil’s been keepin’ tabs on you, indiesphere, and the shit he’s heard lately, he’s just not that into it! Dudes would sell their soul for just a little bit of that rhythm, that groove. Alison Mosshart-1, Jamie Hince-2, add in the devil, and the devil makes 3.

New track here spotted on Gilles Peterson’s Wednesday show from UK Nonplus+ artists Instra:mental. As called by Gilles during the broadcast the track is somewhere between dubstep and drum & bass. We love that it melds in sounds from other spaces of electronic music as well; deep house, downtempo, etc. “Waterfalls” is an excellent mix of sound diverse yet complementary sounds. We’re into it.

I should ask the B3Sci dudes if I can post the entire Elbow album Build A Rocket Boys. It’s that fucking great. Their sound is lower-key than on the last two, but it’s beautifully done and really majestic. I feel like Elbow are picking up where Radiohead left off after OK Computer. I’m predicting right now that they’ll be nominated next year for another shot at winning the Mercury Prize. Check out “High Ideals”.

Everybody’s fav bearmored turkey Cee-Lo Green gets his single “Bright Lights Bigger City” re-taylored (haha, get it?) by the Taylor Gang’s chief chiefer Mr. Wiz Khalifa. Accompanying the new remix is a vid for the tune that looks, well, pretty much how the song’s title would indicate it would. BRIGHT lights (All of the Lights?) BIG city. How’s Wiz doing here? Let us know.

Probably the freshest T.I. has sounded since Paper Trail. Plz Tip, from your friends at b3sci, we need less crappy ballad jams (we’re begging you, none of that Skylar Grey shit on your next comeback record) and more heat like “Ready Set Go”. The beats/features are out there, name an artist in rap (OK, maybe not Ludacris) that wouldn’t drop 16 bars on one of your songs. Fuck, we’ll figure it out, Tip call us up, we’re talking that King/Urban Legend shit but better! The streets, the pop charts, it all can be yours, all it takes is one phone call.
