Well here's pennies, except its a little different.

Autokratz - Always More (Yuksek Remix)




"Take my hand you can break my heart tonight" 

sounds a little dashboardy to me, but wrapped around these lyrics you will find the driving synth notes and cold cut beats familiarized by now prevalent producer/remixer Yuksek. 

I'm not so sure as to the lasting effect of this track, but it does serve as a nice teaser for the new release of Kitsune 7.  (release date June 7th)

New Starfucker - "Biggie Smalls"


Buffet Libre junkies may know Starfucker from their much loved Cindy Lauper cover (everyone loves it when genre boundaries are completely broken down and boys sing songs written for girls ONLY)

The "Jupiter" Ep can hardly be called an ep at all sporting 8 tracks (that's the standard for most full length indie albums these days)

01. Medicine
02. Boy Toy
03. Dance Face 2000
04. Bed-Stuy
05. Biggie Smalls
06. Girls Just Want To Have Fun
07. Jupiter
08. Rawnald Gregory Erickson The Second (Strategy Remix)

I absolutely love love love track number 5.

New Cool Kids "Champions"


Some new tracks dropped over at Fools Gold, which I initially visited to investigate after reading one of A-Trak's tweets.

Twitter quote: "A-TRAK + ARMAND VAN HELDEN = DUCK SAUCE. Come on yall, haven't you figured it out by now? Fool's Gold runs this."

The promise of a new A-Trak remix is a wonderful thing. While you wait for that, you can check out one of the two singles released in preparation for the "Gone Fishing" mixtape.

Burial + Four Tet - "Moth"


Here's a perfect mothers day track.

Four Tet and Burial have teamed up (I love four tet, I've never liked Burial; no matter how many times itunes tried to tell me that he is important).

The track is...

Pretty much sounds like music people get high to at an after-after party. You will probably hear this on college radio stations or at a 24hr coffee shop.
