[MP3] The Black Keys – Turn Blue (BigBob Remix) Feat. Grand Surgeon, Metric Man, St. Laz, Rap P, Satin, V’aniss & Ryan Morrison

Not sure what’s going on here? Black Keys gets a song credit but I’d be shocked if this is them actually playing live on this track like on the pioneering Blakroc project, Damon Dash put together as opposed to a looped sample, but I could be wrong. Not really familiar with many (any??) of the featured MCs on this track or the remixer, BigBob (who.he??) but if you dig throwback cipha/posse-style records, this might appeal….

[MP3] Dirty Ghosts – Cataract

More guitar music??! Two in a row? Is the Kitchen going indie on y’all?? Not at all but long time followers know I’ve been a fan of this San Fran-based duo for a while. They actually have T.dot connections as they are signed to the Toronto-based label, Last Gang Records for Canada. This is from their forthcoming new EP, Cataract dropping July 24th.

[MP3 + Music Video] Modern Diet – Drive

Changing it up for a minute: a little indie guitar rock by NYC-based Modern Diet. I don’t post a lot in this lane but something about this track appeals. I think ‘cos there’s kind of a 60s soul element to their sound, maybe? These still in college kids are showing a lot of promise, their whole eponymous album is pretty solid too. Listen to it HERE.

[MP3] Justina Valentine Feat. Fetty Wap – Candy Land

Fetty Wap again??! Can’t avoid this dude now. This sounds like something Diplo had his hand in and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Speaking of which Mad Decent Block Party coming July 31.

[MP3] The Weeknd – Can’t Feel My Face (JayKode Remix)

Not especially groundbreaking creatively speaking but a very effective, banger of a remix for The Weeknd‘s “Can’t Feel My Face” single by hip-hop/trap producer, JayKode.
