A murder’s row of collaborators. 3 Stacks links up with Bey on this new Kanye produced track. But does the track add up? Is this a Top 40 hit? Prob not. Is it an ace track? Check back. p.s. Peep the Slick Rick/Doug E. Fresh sample on the beat, straight sick.

Jubilants, outta Sydney, offer up a strong debut with the track for “Antics”. Jangly guitar stabs, exceptional melodies, and enough rhythmic syncopation to get Rep. Anthony Weiner off the CPU and onto the d-floor mark this standout piece of indie rock and roll. Sample it below.

The dubman of the year (FLUX PAVILION!) features his pipes on this latest release from Freestylers! “Frozen” grabs you at times, and it loses you.. well does it lose you? Either way, it’s another new collaboration from the two who seem willing and able to deliver more provoking material to come.

“Huggin & Kissin” is a flattering song to its predecessors. At first when you hear that New Order style intro you think to yourself “oh no… not again”, but soon the hooks supersede and forgiveness kicks in. Big Black Delta is the young project of Mellowdrone frontman Jonathan Bates. We’re into it.

We have a complete rhyme this week because it’s “Rave’s Faves”. I heard this My Morning Jacket cover of Buddy Holly’s “True Love Ways”, and it simply can’t wait—this version is that pretty. The MMJ dudes’ new album will probably do real well. This song just might become a hit for them if radio gives it a shot. It’s not on their Circuital, but it is on the upcoming Rave On album of Holly covers. Have a good weekend, and keep ravin’ on. Contributed by Bruce Rave

When the Kaiser Chiefs released their first album with I Predict A Riot, it was one of the freshest, most spontaneous discs of its time. They become more formula, and it worked temporarily with huge UK hits like “Ruby”. Enter producer Mark Ronson, who recently rejuvenated Duran Duran. Call their new single a little shock. It features a cool groove that even contains a slight hint of hip-hop. The freshness and spontaneousness just might be back. Contributed by Bruce Rave
