A week ago, as I arrived in an empty office and put on my headphones, three swallows dipped past my window. They weren’t the first I had seen this year, but as the room was empty and the music on my headphones seemed to fit their flight, I imagined they were there for me. They were carrying a message. A change in the air. I sat still for a moment and watched them. I have become too impatient to wait for signs to appear outside window panes, so I turned on my phone. There was one new message waiting. One of my best friends just had a baby boy. I called him and he told me after the baby was born that night, the first song they played on the radio was by The Beastie Boys. “I don’t know, but that seemed like a good sign.” he said. I agreed, hung up the phone, put my headphones back on, watched the swallows some more and felt happy. Summer’s coming. And it’s going to be good.

Here’s the music on my headphones that day:

The XlR8R podcast by Anenon. Go find yourself a window and look for clues.

Tracklist:

01 John Cage and Merce Cunningham “In Conversation (Spring 1981, Minneapolis, Minnesota)”

05 Sapphire Slows “Animal Dreams” (Not Not Fun)
06 Phoebe Kiddo “Fear of U_Men” (Non Projects)
07 Anenon “This is What I Meant (Laurel Halo Orfi Mix)” (Non Projects/Ad Hoc)

Clams Casino is one of the hottest clams producers of the moment, launching A$SAP ROCKY into the hip hop stratosphere and saving Lana Del Rey from the brink of hipster oblivion in less than a year. His instrumental mixtapes are still essential downloads (stream his mastered tape after the jump), and now there’s a smooth 25-minute mix of his own classics and some unreleased gems to add to the legacy. Originally delivered to the doorstep of Benj B’s BBC 1 radio show, now ready for your ripping pleasure.

CLAMS CASINO

INSTRUMENTAL MIXTAPE (MASTERED)

From left to right: Busy P (Ed Banger Head Honcho), Gaspard Augé (Justice) , Rick Rubin (Legend), Xavier de Rosnay (Justice), So Me (Art Star).

Justice made a rifftastic mini-mix for BBC’s Annie Mac: a five minute name-that-tune geekfest, no doubt inspired by uncle David & uncle Stephen from Soulwax.

And here’s the massive Soulwax Axe Attack.

Axe Attack from Radio Soulwax on Vimeo.

Soulwax – Krack (Original Version)

“Hey man.”

“Hey Michael, wassup?”

“Not much. Chilling with my loafers in the snow, you know?”

“Not really. I live in a trashcan. Don’t have any loafers.”

“Got it. No shoes. Trashcan. Life sucks.”

“Aw, don’t say that.”

“Sorry, Oscar. Sometimes I feel like hiding in a trashcan, too. Don’t let the jaunty rolled up pants fool you, my muppet friend. Sometimes I feel like a stranger in some snowy, cold city like this one, only further away. Damn, I think there’s a song in there somewhere. Urgh! I need to get out of my head!”

“Need something to cheer you up?”

“Lay it on me.”

“How about three hours’ worth of classic hip-hop mixed with the original samples?”

“You got a ferris wheel in there?  Or at least some golden lapels?”

“Uhm. Trashcan. Remember?”

“Right. Let’s do it.”

Talk Hard sent me this seamless blend of Kavinsky and B.I.G. called ‘Nightcalling Big Poppa’ at the exact moment when I pressed play for the Diplo Mad Decent Transformers in the Hood Mixtape.

And here you were, thinking the universe was nothing but random events and chaos.

Ha!

Who’s random now?

TRANSFORMERS IN THE HOOD by Diplo x Heroes & Villains & Mayhem

The best Shlohmo tracks are made in moonless absences you have never heard of. And although this new one called “Wen Uuu” is mild and clear, it is still smudged with the darkness blotting out hope, the gale prophesying your downfall.

There Will Be No Peace _

            by W.H.Auden _(1956)

Though mild clear weather
Smile again on the shire of your esteem
And its colors come back, the storm has changed you:
You will not forget, ever,
The darkness blotting out hope, the gale
Prophesying your downfall.

You must live with your knowledge.
Way back, beyond, outside of you are others,
In moonless absences you never heard of,
Who have certainly heard of you,
Beings of unknown number and gender:
And they do not like you.

What have you done to them?
Nothing? Nothing is not an answer:
You will come to believe–how can you help it?–
That you did, you did do something;
You will find yourself wishing you could make them laugh,
You will long for their friendship.

There will be no peace.
Fight back, then, with such courage as you have
And every unchivalrous dodge you know of,
Clear in your conscience on this:
Their cause, if they had one, is nothing to them now;
They hate for hate’s sake.

Marc Jacobs’ SS 12 soundtrack was heavy on the Philip Glass, with a highbrow-broadway–play-like catwalk and  models posed on wooden chairs. No matter what people thought about the designs themselves, this will forever be  ‘that Marc Jacobs collection that got stolen from the train.‘

Radio Soulwax isn’t releasing it’s New Beat app mix until tomorrow, but NME has the exclusive mix up already. I wish you could have seen D’s dance moves when the first beat kicked in seconds ago.

More Radio Soulwax HERE.

“Long Gone”, a shameless belter from “1997″, the free ‘internet album’ by Terius ‘The Dream’ Nash  gets the video treatment. It’s mostly black and white posing with some girl and her cleavage. But it’s also a perfect excuse to profess my love for the entire album. The Dream wrote ‘Single Ladies’ and ‘Umbrella’ and regular lurkers and copy/pasters of this site already know how essential we deem his mixtapes to be. Everyone who says they love The Weeknd and don’t like The Dream needs to shut the hell up. Seriously.

As our (occasionally long-winded but always) observant friends from Pitchfork have already pointed out: there’s a lot of similarities between 1977 and ’808 and Heartbreak’ by Kanye West. Both plunge deep into the pains of love, bitter failure, stardom, sadness and generally losing your shit in public. Both lean towards pompous artwork and detailed, no-holds-barred lyrics. Both are in high rotation at the KNOTORYUS offices. Courageous shit. Anthems.

Did I mention it’s free? I mean, you barely have to move your fingers to get it right HERE.

Be sure to check out the personal favourite “Wedding Crasher”.
