Flying Lotus personally curates some of his favourite producers to remix tracks from the landmark album ‘Los Angeles’, for the second (long awaited!) installment in the L.A. EP series.

Grab a copy of the vinyl while you can! These wont last long. BUT not to worry if you can’t cause the digital version here includes 3 more exclusive remixes.

‘Dancehall – The Rise of Jamaican Dancehall Culture’ released on Soul Jazz Records is an essential guide and who’s who to the phenomenal explosion of Dancehall in Jamaica in the 1980s and its subsequently rise throughout the world.

Released to coincide with the launch of Beth Lesser’s deluxe 200-page book of the same name (also published by Soul Jazz Records) featuring hundreds of amazing photographs and accompanying text, this new double-album features a pantheon of Dancehall stars – Gregory Isaacs, Sugar Minott, Sister Nancy, Tenor Saw, Sly & Robbie, King Jammy, Eek A Mouse, Yellowman, Frankie Paul and many, many more.

New York City’s avant-rock lineage is long and storied. From Suicide to Liquid Liquid, Sonic Youth and Animal Collective, the city has incubated generations of unflinching musical eccentrics. In 2008’s Big Apple, no one is flying their chimerical flag higher than Gang Gang Dance.

Grizzly Bear are currently recording the follow up to their 2006 masterpiece Yellow House . Ed recently unveiled some details on Drowned In Sound about the upcoming album.

If you don’t own a copy (digital or otherwise), of Yellow House then rush over below. That’s the best thing you can do until the new album is released.

That, and maybe check out this NEW Grizzly Bear song, which the band premiered on massive US TV show David Letterman a few months ago. The video is here and they also kindly shared a mp3 of the performance.
