Worth turning up. Kittens runs through some tough tracks.

Gonjasufi "Nickels & Dimes"

Here's a taste of Gonjasufi's upcoming LP on Warp. His last album (A Sufi and a Killer) was brilliant, so it'll be interesting to hear the follow-up. Judging by this track he won't change his style too drastically. Here's his usual mubbly moan delivery is stacked over a skittering beat held back from the pit of repetition by some carefully placed drum filters. The end effect is a 21st century hobo's lament.

Cinespia DJ sets

Are you familiar with Cinespia? If not, it's a series of film screenings in cemeteries around Los Angeles.

That in and of itself is pretty awesome, but the icing on the cake is that they get world class DJs to throw down sets before and after the screenings. Now, living several thousand miles from the action, I'd be bummed, except that they record these sets and host them on their website, where you can listen/download. I'd highly recommend the Gaslamp Killer set, which rolls from Joe Meek through some psychy mayhem to a kazoo-centric medley atop a dance clap. This thing is hours upon hours of awesome live sets just waiting for your perusal.

Flying Lotus' "Lovers Melt 2"

Been hearing a lot of stuff coming from Flying Lotus the last few months, and I'm not complaining. The batch of previously unreleased stuff he put up on Soundcloud had some real gems, then there was a nice mix for/of Thundercat, and now this, the follow-up to Lovers Melt 1. Enjoy the waning days of summer. Check it out via BrainFeeder.

Paul A. Rosales is on some throwback sh*t

This L.A. based musician Paul A. Rosales has gone and created one of the most uncannily authentic lo-fi early 80s pop-rock jams I've heard. It's recorded straight to tape and has that "my friend did this with his boom box and a microphone" feel - the only difference is that Rosales is awesome, whereas your friend who tried to do this, unless he or she were equally awesome, probably sounded terrible.


Check out his first single "Crimes."


The 7-inch is out now on Care in the Community Records. Full-length is out next month.
