Follow Me - "Freak Me"

In preparation for Electric Forest, I am making CDs for the car that will contain several things.  A) Follow Me's new track, B) the duo's exclusive set for PB&JRadio which is the grooviest shit, C) A great version of "Goin' Down The Road" with Mydland from '89. If you're not familiar with Follow Me,  they describe the Summer Nights mix here,

"Perfect for any Summer Night/Moon Dance/Tribal Gathering/Psychedelic Journey
If you hear your vibes it means you will be coming with us to the other dimension after the 2012 Cosmic Rebirth. Congrats to all the Psychonauts who made the first cut, more selections to come leading up the December 21st galactic ascension so if your tryna get that Third Eye opened permanently you best get to your synths before its too late!!"

LOL see ya ladies and gents in the Forest.

First come, First Serve

De La Soul's Plug 1 & Plug 2 are now based in Paris and have transformed into First Serve, setting funk phazers to full blast.  "Must B The Music" is the first single along with the Goon Time Mixtape, which you can download for free while looking at their tumblr, which is a treasure chest of great random shit.

"In the unusually warm 3am air of a Parisian suburb, a house party is getting out of control. Police Nationale have been called - but no-one can get near. The air is thick with Hip-Hop filling the adjacent streets, acting like a force field.... The cause for celebration? It’s the wrap up party for First Serve, an undercoverproject that has been two years in the making. First Serve is the brainchild of 2 & 4 (aka Chokolate & Khalid, producers/ DJ’s). After an instant meeting of minds they decided to embark on a musical adventure – a Hip Hop album played by musicians. All they needed was a couple of MC’s to help complete their vision. Enter NY based Jacob ‘Pop’ Life and Deen ‘D’ Whitter.  
Listen to the mixtape recorded at the party. It’s funky, it’s hip hop, it’s disco... and it’s a classic!"

Summer Camp

Last Thursday was orientation at Camp Weld, a month-long celebration of the better things in life.  Someone hired three Traktor S4 escorts for the weekend, and things got pretty steamy.  The summer solstice is in three days, Electric Forest is in 9, and Grey Fox is in 2 weeks; good things are coming.
Here's the Lost Summer Tape, the official day drinking playlist of Camp Weld, along with the winner of the Electric Forest "Mix and Match" competition.  Also featured is a trip-hop track by Mister Tweeks, which Flosstradomus played in his most recent Diplo & Friends broadcast on BBC1.
And last but not least, Danny Brown, the newest and oddest addition to the Fools Gold family.

Edward Sharpe, Beats Antique, Sigur Rós & Drop Out Orchestra

I've been listening to Here on repeat since I bought it yesterday morning, and 9 tracks is just not enough.  But Little Daylight has temporarily resolved this issue with a supplemental addition to the album.  Inspired Flight also released a remix this morning, collaborating with Scarub of Living Legends fame, to mix Beats Antique's "Cat Skillz".  Drop Out Orchestra also just dropped their June 2012 Mix.
Live for the funk, Die for the funk.

Sigur Rós has announced a Mystery Film Experiment, and will release one music video for each track on Valtari every week or so following the album's US release date.  Check out the first video for "Ég anda'", and keep an eye out for the rest of them on the Valtari videos page.  Also, if it helps at all, "Ég anda'" translates into "I breathe".
