The dark! mysterious! cryptic! (ooooh spooky!) NO CEREMONY/// just turned in this glitch-y, garage-y mix of Patrick Wolf’s “Time of My Life”. Definitely feeling the track after first couple spins. And now spin three…

Cleveland is our city. Seriously, bloggers, can we do with a better starting phrase for Chip than “Cleveland’s own” which seems to start 80% of the posts about him. The only dude that should ever follow the phrase “Cleveland’s own” in a sentence is, no doubt, beloved toupee, Ted Henry, Cleveland’s own Ted Henry. Tell Ya Friends is due soon.

Old man Waits has a new LP (Bad Like Me) due soon (October 24) which should have you super psyched. Anytime this legend takes a break from being one of the coolest people on the planet just long enough to get in a studio and cut a record, you need to be listening. “Back in the Crowd”, the album’s second single is a slightly island-y Spanish guitar-backed love song. The gritty, gravely, gruff Waits can write some seriously dark shit, but the usually candid Tom can also pen the sweetest songs of devotion. With Waits it’s always been about emotive honesty and connectivity, his ability to precisely point into the whole vast continuum of emotive quality is what really elevates (and keeps) him into the sphere of the best songwriters.

Zane Lowe just dropped the premiere of The Weeknd’s remix of Florence’s latest single “Shake It Out” and now you can stream it live on b3sci. It’s moody, it’s ethereal, it almost sounds of a space age spaghetti western. It’s The Weeknd, it’s Florence, it’s b3sci.

White Lies take every blogger’s fav pair of lips to The Factory circa 1981. The mix doesn’t really sound like Lana nor does it really sound like White Lies either, layer upon layer of analogue synths and drum loops. The result is a sharp sounding remix that would have even pissed Pete Hook cutting a serious rug.

I said “Look, Ma, No hands!” Our girl Hitch continues her hip hop covers (she’s also dropped bombs on Wiz, M. Miller & Kreayshawn) vid series with Waka and Roscoe’s “No Hands”. Turn that shit up.

UK d&b vet TC does the damn thing over Joker’s excellent single “Here Come the Lights”. TC’s remix is just one of three cool remixes by artists with names that start with T (the others come from house merchant Tiesto and Danish synth bros Turboweekend) that will accompany the single’s release. Win.

French by way of Montreal and Mexico DJ Stern* throws a subtle disco edit under The Stones blogoverse smash “Big Jet Plane”. On the track, Stern* definitely earns points for keeping a great simple song simple, choosing the original’s understated guitar chug flattening it out and using it to support a neat four on the floor complete with handclaps.

UK singer/songwriter Michael Kiwanuka continues to blow us away with each successive release. “I’m Getting Ready”, the title track from his just released EP, is a beautiful piece of acoustic soul pop. The dynamics in the delivery of Kiwanuka’s sweet tenor are especially showcased on this track. Like the best storytellers, each word, each note is precisely pointed at each turn of the narrative. Listen.
