ult Swim just released the full version of their mixtape Garage Swim and it’s a jangly and filthy scuzzbucket full of wonder and basically my favourite thing right now

So, OK…

we are not in the habit of posting leaks and unofficial uploads. But this

Jai Paul

bandcamp link has been up for a full day, and although there has been an official statement saying this is not the long-awaited debut album, this collection of demos (?) is still live, which makes me doubt whether the official label (XL) has any problems with it. My guess is these are Jai Paul’s scraps falling off the table, while we wait for the full, no doubt scrumptious spread that awaits us all. Well worth the listen and download, whatever it turns out to be.

I took the liberty of interpreting ‘for professional use only’ as: ‘blast this on high volume in the office building since I’m the only one here on a Sunday’. Araab made this one a mixtape to last, too: crazy-face inducing trap bangers, classics like ‘street knock’, easy vibes, bouncy beats begging for a vocal mix: you name it, it’s on here.

It’s drop day! “Oolala, Mazeltov, what can I say?”

Le1f takes the lead in New York club rap with his own particular brand of gusto and guffow-inducing lyrics on the follow-up to “Dark York”: “Fly Zone”. The beats are .. well … fly … and I love it that in 2013 I can download a solid hiphop mixtape of an MC that pronounces “soft” as “sowft” and hands me hooks like “get your bunz up” to compliment my hefty collection of “get your gunz up” tracks.

Chromatics’ Johnny Jewel just posted the perfect soundtrack to the soggy excuse for snow that’s halfheartedly sloshing against my window right now.

A stream of imagery, some NSFW, to start the kind of trouble you could taste, baby.

Listenin’ for the sippenin’ trippenin’ & tippenin’.

While Charli XCX is finishing one of the most eagerly awaited debut albums of 2012/2013, we can warm ourselves to this dreamy little audio appetiser called ‘super ultra’, including beats by How to Dress Well (‘Cold Nites’) and some eighties-drenched girl-on-girl action (‘Moments in Love’).
