As you may have noticed, we quietly released self-titled‘s fifteenth issue yesterday, including the stripped-down Web version and our enhanced iPad edition, which features streaming music on nearly every page. Here’s what you can expect inside:

Since Smalltown Supersound just released an “Extended Disco Mix” of Lindstøm’s latest single (see: the “Quiet Place To Live” stream above) today, we thought we’d share some other digital selections the producer recently released around his Six Cups of Rebel LP…

The last time 120 Days released an LP (2006′s self-titled debut), self-titled‘s staff was in the final hour of our tenure atop DIW magazine and hosting a SXSW show featuring the Norwegian Krautrockers and such random co-stars as Daedelus, Busdriver, Ra Ra Riot and Twilight Sad. So yeah—it was a long time ago. And while the group’s long-awaited second album (120 Days II) technically came out last year through Oslo’s Voices of Wonder imprint, it’ll finally see a stateside release on March 6th through Splendour.
Check out the record’s first two singles below, including a downloadable version of “Dahle Disco,” a track co-produced by 120 Day’s fellow countryman Lindstrøm. And just to show you that we care, we also included a bonus remix from diskJokke…

Said record has quickly become one of our favorite extended players of the year—five tracks that could have easily crept into Mute’s early catalog. Since the Portland-based duo is about to invade New York for a series of live/DJ appearances—including Wierd‘s weekly party at Home Sweet Home tonight and Bruar Falls on Friday—we asked singer/multi-instrumentalist Patricia Hall to pass a Needle Exchange mix this way.
In a rare move, she actually tracked her hour-long mix live, reminding us of what it means to actually blend records properly. Beyond that, Hall also was nice enough to share a soon-to-be-released Chromatics cut and a recent HEALTH remix that didn’t quite make it onto the band’s recent Disco2 compilation. See you near the smoke machine tonight…
