Homage – Roy Ayers (Mixed by Anthony Valadez)

royayers

The impact of the legendary Roy Ayers on soul, jazz, hip hop, (music in general) is immeasurable. The awesome KCRW DJ Anthony Valadez put this mix of some of Roy’s best tracks as well as some of the best tracks he inspired (It’s a seriously impressive list). And that’s not all! The Homage music series is bringing Roy Ayers together with Pete Rock(!) and a live band to Exchange: Los Angeles Nov. 17. This is a show you absolutely do not want to miss. Seriously! We couldn’t be more psyched!

Fractures – Nicotine

fractures

Fractures are the 90’s MTV buzzband you wish had existed back then. Picture it now, the smooth Dan Cortese dropping Fractures in between fresh buzzcuts from Harvey Danger and Jawbox. Yeah sounds pretty rad, right? Follow that up with a four-hour block of Singled Out (the Jenny McCarthy-era) and a “brand new episdode” of “Daria” and life is ripping pretty hard. “Nicotine” is great and will be in your head no less than 30 seconds into the track. Get it.

SULK – Back In Bloom

back-in-bloom-sulk1

SULK are one band probably not shy on excitement for the upcoming Stone Roses upcoming reunion tour. “Back In Bloom” takes the band’s Monkey Man & co.-aping to a bridge further than previous releases. “Back in Bloom” sounds of a band in transition, a young band starting to piece together an individual sound. The track is a step forward for the UK band and we look forward to what will be next.

Flux Pavilion & Doctor P – Superbad

fluxpaviliondoctorp

Fresh from the playlist of Zane Lowe to your speakers, it’s the mega “Superbad”, a new collaborative track from Flux Pavilion & Doctor P. It’s electric when these two work together on a track and “Superbad”, although a bit different (read less dubstep) than you might think it’d be, does not disappoint. Spin it below.

Fiona – Boy Toy (Shit Like That Dubstep Remix)

fiona

If your like us and you like to spend your days pondering the future of music, then looking forward to the next wave of pop stars, Germany’s Fiona seems to fit a likely picture. Take this fresh dub refix on her debut single “Boy Toy”. It hits hard, it has the hooks, and it’s got a story. In other words it’s not hard to believe that Fiona was a member of former German girl group Lollipops, but it is pretty shocking that she’s only 15 years old! Artist for the radar.
