I’ve been listening to these during the past month or two.
In response to this thread on oaklog.
In alphabetical order.

8Ball & MJG – Relax, Take Notes (feat. Project Pat & The Notorious B.I.G.) (XI Dubstep Remix)

Heavy, bleak, and patient. I just want the paper.

Alaska in Winter – Your Red Dress (Wedding Song At Cemetery)

It’s crazy how a horn can sound like it knows you.

Frankmusik – Three Little Words

Give it up for electro youth and post-banger songwriting.

HEALTH – Heaven (Narctrax Rmx)

A real driver. Purposeful and complex, pushing towards something ugly and necessary.

Inner City – Big Fun

I’ve been falling into the deep end of House lately.
Made in 2001 but sounds like 1995 to me.

John Dahlback – July First

Techno like this makes me think of human unity.
This is like my fucking Obama song.

Kris Menace & Spooky – Stereophonic (short cut)

You just have to decide to let it sweep you out.
A new classic I will return to.

Little Boots – Stuck on Repeat

I think it’s her voice against the crazy dark purple and black of this beat.

Osborne – 16th Stage

This is the sound of my home, where the racing of the outside world disappears, and we revel in the comfort of our lives together.

PNAU featuring Ladyhawke – Embrace

This is the kind of music American Idol stars should sing over after they win. Contemporary, populist, and triumphant.

Ryan Leslie – Back to the Love

An arrogant, lyrically uninteresting, and convincing R&B genius.

Sally Shapiro – I Know You’re My Love (Juan MacLean Remix)

A tightening and quickening of the amazing original.
Please give this song until the 5:00 mark. It shrinks, and then it changes and grows, and they shape her voice into something sharper, and they hold that part of her up as long as they can. Then they drop that voice into the world they’ve constructed for her, from her, over the course of the song. It’s like an Italo Disco Klein bottle.

The Dø – Travel Light

There’s a weariness and dirtiness to her voice that makes her seem invulnerable. Also happens to be the 13th song on their new album.

See you later.
