The heir apparent to Aphex Twin, except not bringing it quite as much:

Thanks, Major Lazer.

Video: Dres of Black Sheep – “Forever LuvLee”

New video for Dres‘ new song, “Forever LuvLee,” first single of his new EP, due out 12/1, From The Black Pool Of Genius.

Weird Doom Promo

Um, Doom? This promo is just weird. Make it go away.

MP3: Aaliyah – “Try Again” (Belief Remix)

Aaliyah was tragically killed in a plane crash in 2001, but her work with the pre-Timberlake Timbaland was ahead of its time. Her voice was always a bit soft, it never felt strong enough for my liking, especially in comparison to some of her contemporaries, but her production selection carried her into the Billboard charts. “Try Again” was no “Are You That Somebody?” with its signature baby coo, but it was a r’n'b classic of its time. Listen to the first installment of the Aaliyah remix project below.

Video: Vitalic – “Poison Lips”

This is not nearly as good as anything on his last album, but there’s lots of sexy makeup smearing going on in this new Vitalic video, for a song off his new album, Flash Mob.

Video: DOOM – Unexpected Guests Preview

Honestly, it’s not that cool. But you know how you DOOM fanatics gobble this shit up…

Video: De La Soul Live in Paris

The folks at Grandcrew.com have a new concert up for you to watch – De La Soul live in Paris. Yes, De La tends to be a bit heavy on the self-referential nostalgia, but these old boys still got it. Watch it here.

New Releases: Tape Deck Mountain – Ghost (11/17, Lefse)

Please do yourself a favor and take a listen to Tape Deck Mountain. His new album, Ghost, due out 11/17 courtesy of Lefse Records, is a lo-fi but lush and emotional work of a talented new artist.

According to his PR, Travis Trevisan lost his job about a year ago and sat at home and made music. Sometimes, unemployment works wonders. Trevisan sings in a kind of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone monotone, but the fuzzy, dour, and always interesting musical arrangements that accompany his voice range from brief Guided By Voices and Pixies-influenced rock to more expansive excursions into post-rock soundscapes.

Tape Deck Mountain will be playing some California dates this November. Check his MySpace page for details.

Video: Fool’s Gold – “Surprise Hotel”

It’s a Fool’s Gold pool party. Lizards, old men, ladies in bathing suits… just like pool parties when you were a kid.

This song has grown on me quite a bit. When you get past the indie-rock-meets-Africa trend going on these days, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s not hard to hear that these guys know their shit and know how to play said shit quite well.

Video: Owen – “Good Friends, Bad Habits”

OMG this new Owen video is so EMO!!! LOL PTW GFM WTF????

But seriously, I still got a soft spot for Mike Kinsella…

Video: Wye Oak – “Sight, Flight”

I really love Wye Oak’s new album, The Knot (Merge), but I’m not feeling this art school video so much… Anyway, good song.

Video: Health – “Die Slow”

New Health video for “Die Slow,” track off their album out tomorrow, Get Color (Lovepump United).

Video: Hail Mary Mallon – “D-Up”

Hail Mary Mallon is the new collaboration between Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic, and DJ Big Whiz. This song, “D-Up,” is featured on the new Def Jux comp, but you can watch the video here. Post-apocalyptic, son.

Video: Vic D. Freestyle

Sometimes, you just gotta blow off some steam in the studio… Ladies and gentlemen, Vic D.

Video: DJ Hell feat. P. Diddy – “The DJ”

German DJ Hell recruited P. Diddy to talk some shit over his newest single, “The DJ.” Watch the video below (NSFW), for some homo and hetero-erotic fun. This is the 4-minute version of a 28-minute track, but it’ll give you a good idea of what’s up.
