DJ Spinna & BBE Soundsystem present one of the more titillating mixtape experiences with Strange Games & Funky Things Volume 5, out September 28th. Preview the tracklisting and music here. Said to bridge the gap between 70s soul, 80s rare groove and 90s mega hip hop, all we know is we like the mood and separation from our current realities. D’accord.
For your escapist soul the Diogenes Club return with the Versailles EP on September 20th. To hell with the perpetual gloom, doom, and resulting faux altruism.

I got caught up in this Young The Giant Take Away Show and now I’m posting it up. There’s always a bit of truth to cliches, and yes, I hate Mondays. In addition, you can watch the video of “My Body” at Sunset Sound Studios in LA and download the original audio here. The band will be on tour in September with Marina and The Diamonds.
