Miniature Tigers are aligning themselves with the likes of Animal Collective and Neon Indian. The group recently relocated to Brooklyn and have a new found passion for synthesized instruments and sound experimentation. Their sound has definitely taken a new and progressive direction since their last release Volcano. You can still find cues from their 60s pop influences and the result is a truly refreshing sound.

This is the future right here. It’s amazing how much music has progressed in the span of one year. Mount Kimbie is taking it to the next level with their ground breaking album Crooks & Lovers. Their combination of impressive sound design mixed with various electronic music fundamentals all while maintaining melody and musicality provides all who dare to open themselves to this audible onslaught one of the most refreshing listening experiences imaginable.

I’m loving this remix from Julien Dyne. You can find it on DJ Vadim’s I Want To Shout Out Remixes. Sabira Jade laces the track and makes it complete with her smooth and soulful vocals. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Whoaaaa…now this is some music anyone can get down to. Sit back and let the raw productions from The Funk League consume you. Lace it up with hype lyrical work from Diamond D and Sadat X and it’s game over. Get WILD. Here’s a sampling entitled “You’re Gonna Learn” featuring Andy C of Ugly Duckling. This is siiiiiiiick!

This is laid back sample based jazzy hip hop for your head. Shift carry’s himself lyrically as a sort of wise man pointing out life experiences you and I can relate to and he does it with a sort of subliminal subtlety designed simply for you to reflect on. Combine that with some sick beats from DJ Tosh and it makes for a very rewarding listen.
