WTF: Fuckpony, that’s what. It’s an American-Swiss-German deep-tech-house thing. We just got the remixes for “I’m Burning Inside” but we can’t post. So here’s a remix of “Fall into Me”. The album Let the Love Flow dropped late October, 2009 on Bpitch Control. The “Burning” mixes are out March 29.
Shuffle: Terry Lee Brown Jr,...

Speaking in Code →
WTF: Speaking in Code - “a techno film that isn’t about techno.” The line-up leans to the Berlin/Pitchfork scene. We have yet to see it, but the signifiers make us curious.
Shuffle: 24 Hour Party People
Too Cool for This: We’ll get back to you.

DJ Kicks: Juan MacLean (Micro-site) →
WTF: Dirty, dirty, dirty post-post-disco. That putrid, swishy funk that only rises with the dawn. Tambourines, quaaludes, poppers not included. We’re kind of creeped out by the cover art, but it captures the twilight warehouse vibe spot-on. The mix drops April 26, but you should sign up at the micro-site now to make sure you get yours.
Shuffle: DFA, LCD Soundsystem, James Murphy, Trevor...

WTF: Fresh blunted beats from the fine folks at Ninja Tune. Simon Green aka Bonobo drops his 4th LP, Black Sands, March 23 (USA). It’s a little orchestral, a little electronic, all handcrafted ambient funk. If you win his remix competition, he might do the same for you.
Shuffle: Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib, DJ Cam
Too Cool for This: We’re so cool with this, we’re chillin. :/

WTF: Peter Gabriel’s orchestral covers project Scratch My Back, featuring stripped-down renditions of songs by Radiohead, Bon Iver, Bowie, Arcade Fire, et. al.
Shuffle: Radiohead, Bon Iver, Bowie, Arcade Fire et. al.
Too Cool for This: To soak this up alone in our own navel-gazing, wound-licking privacy? Not really. Now close the door; you’re letting our soul out.

New Prince Song, Causin' Defect →
WTF: New song, “Cause and Effect” by Prince. His Purple Highness took a wrong turn at Alphabet Street and it’s been downhill ever since.
Shuffle: Your ex’s Chili Peppers-inspired band that broke up last summer.
Too Cool for This: Sadly, yes. If you farted on the dance floor, we’d walk out on you too.
