Look, don't get me wrong. I love Phoenix. I'm all about Phoenix. But Listzomania is one of those songs that was so everywhere all at once that it got a little played out for me. That's why it's so cool when a phenomenal remix, like this one from Shook, makes me see the track from a completely new angle. Shook re-engineers this track from the ground up, layering super-clean synth lines with lip-biting funkitude. Definitely worth checking out. Oh, and get this: the track's available for download, too!

Another solid remix from Rhythm Plate, this time taking on the Ivory Coast's Alpha Blondy and his 1982 track 'Jah Glory'. Where was this bit of deliciousness back in the summer when I needed it? I like the original, but man, that disco beat completely changes this track's vibe for me. Excuse me while I squint my eyes and try to wish myself back to July.

Atomic Clock is the latest album from Zion I (Amp Live & Zumbi). The Oakland based duo has been active since 1997. The combination of Amp Live's production paired with the socially concious forward thinking lyrics of Zumbi have always been a welcome addition to the hip hop landscape.

Atomic Clock has a really great sound. It is due out Nov. 9th on Gold Dust. Check out some tracks.

Thank you to CP for the tip on this one. Not sure if everyone is aware of Banksy latest piece of social graffiti. He has done a spin on the the Simpsons intro.

Nice remix of Miami Horror by DCup. Mr. Cup has been on a real roll as of late with some other great remixes of Chris Sorbello and Alesha Dixon. Check those out at his SoundCloud spot.

Great music from SBTRKT aka Subtracked. The masked London based producer is quite elusive however he has garnered quite a bit of praises from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Toddla T, Sinden and Gilles Peterson. Hes done remixes for Basement Jaxx, Portico Quartet, Goldie and Fantastic Mr Fox.

His debut solo release out now Young Turks records. Check out some tracks. "Step into the Shadows" is one of my favorites. Also some great stuff from his work with Sampha.

You've got to see this new jam from those fantastically poppy Mystery Jets--I think it might be the first pommel-horse themed music video in history. The song is a cut from their latest album, seratonin, available here. The Count and Sinden song featuring the Mystery Jets, After Dark, is still one of my favorite jams of the year.

Azari & III is Dinamo Azari and Alixander III of Canada. Their track "Reckless with your love" has been getting some play around the blogs and on Radio 1. A traditional house track featuring that Detroit style bump that results in a really big tune. An already awesome track just recieved an update by the AG loved Tensnake. Check it out along with a real mellow remix of "Into the Night". Awesome stuff.

Received some good criticism about my Star Slinger post. Perhaps I threw the post together too hastily. My intention was to just start the conversation about this dude. His productions awesome. Some of the better productions in the last couple years that I have heard really.

Brock suggested a couple tracks that highlight his talent and I couldn't agree more. Check them out. Thank you Brock for the feedback.
