Wondering what to expect from this weekend’s special live collaboration between Carl Craig, Moritz Von Oswald and Francesco Tristano? Try a seamless blend of twitchy techno, jilted jazz and piano progressions that hint at neo-classical movements and house music, as heard in the trio’s set at Versus 2.0 last year…

Since his U.S. tour is set to wind down this Sunday at Le Bain in New York, we asked Beni to give us a quick tour of his record crate with an exclusive house mix. Here’s what he came up with…

Here’s a seemingly endless DJ set that’ll help you ease into the weekend: a five-parter from Prins Thomas, captured at Sur Bar in Kagoshima, Japan. Anyone want to help us decode all the rare disco records and locked grooves within?
Yep, more Tri Angle love. oOoOO’s Our Love Is Hurting Us EP hits shops on April 10th.
Whether we’re talking about the Haxan Cloak, Vessel or the oOoOO EP that was just revealed yesterday, it seems like a week can’t go by without a new signing or release announcement from Tri Angle Records. We can’t complain, though; not with a growing roster that’s this consistent, right down to the Evian Christ mixtape that dropped today. A collection of high-quality antidotes to the YouTube rips that have been floating around, it arrives with the promise of a proper Tri Angle release later this year and a live appearance at the label’s London showcase this Saturday at Hackney Downs Studios, featuring Balam Acab, oOoOO, Holy Other, and DJ sets from the Haxan Cloak and the xx’s Romy Madley-Croft.

To get a better idea of the record’s house-heavy, techno-tinged roots, check out their “Whatever the Weather” mix below (featuring Armand Van Helden, Factory Floor, Henrik Schwarz, Gino Soccio and many more), alongside a radio edit of the pair’s “Work” single…

If you’re like us and actually have fond memories of Def Jux’s heyday, and Busdriver’s first couple LPs—including one with Daedelus—the following 7-inch-only collaboration with Aesop Rock will almost make you forget about the MC’s well-intentioned Christmas caroling with Kimya Dawson.
“Songs born out of aggression tend to usually make the final cut over here,” Busdriver writers on his Web store, which is offering an exclusive blue vinyl pressing of ‘Superhand’s Mantra.’ “This song is no exception. I asked Aesop Rock to join me in a spiraling death plunge into rap’s blackened heart and he happily agreed. This song is the aftermath of that club house agreement.
Presenting “Ebertplatz 2020,” the first proper taste of Wolfgang Voigt and Jörg Burger’s new MOHN project…
Some thoughts from Marcus Joons, via Oki-Ni:
I know, I know, I know that you should try to be in the moment, in the now, and that you should not always go for what’s around the corner or use witchcraft to see what is in the future. Anyway, this is not what’s now, this is where we will head next: into rave, into trance.
