Sebastien Tellier's Sexuality album was, in a word, succulent, so we can understand–nay, appreciate–the milking of it for one last 12-inch. Even better is that Record Makers decided (again), to print the Fingers of Steel / L’Amour et la Violence EP on pink marble vinyl (shocker these dudes are into indulgence). Below, grab the Hypnolove flip that appears on the a-side and an exclusive, unreleased, totally left-field downtempo version from London youngin' Toby Toast.
Sounds like: Lindstrøm & Christabelle, Aphex Twin, Skream without the wobble

Penguin Prison–Neon Gold newbie and much-lauded Marina & The Diamonds remixer–has a resume littered with half-lives like Alicia Keys’ choir-mate and Q-Tip’s near protégé but it’s his Holy Ghost! connection we dig most. Dude was integral to two of our HG! faves—singing back-up here and co-writing this. Below, two shiny edits of "A Funny Thing" pump disco keys, Lucite synths and analog-pop into the bloodstream.
Sounds like: Holy Ghost!, Hercules & Love Affair

"Warm In The Shadows" already wielded a lot of bell-bottomed prance in its original form, so the Belgians in Villa didn't have to build a whole lot to make it more categorically dancey, just add some cycling synth pulse and a jacked-up bass figure and let Music Go Music surf their own gleaming, satin-draped, porcelaneous cloud. Should you still need MGM's debut LP, Expressions, you can pick it up from Secretly Canadian right here.
Sounds like: ABBA, Aeroplane, The Golden Filter

Sometimes we listen to technical music because it's nice to know that there are still people out there who practice their instruments 9000 hours a day, and sometimes when in that mood we listen to Cougar, who are precise and sharp and dense but also have a little bounce to them. They let go of "Rhinelander," from their recent album Patriot, on the eve of a show at New York's Mercury Lounge this Sunday (11/22). It sounds like Gregorian prog.

Tittsworth just released his "Maneater"-nodding, Nina Sky and Pitbull-featuring "Here He Comes" as a single through Plant, which is good news for fans of boomy Baltimore club and appropriated Hall & Oates hooks. This version from DJ Day, which is basically a classic disco/Bmore hybrid, isn't on that release since it came out on the 12 Steps Remixes EP through T&A last year. But, now we have an excuse to post it, and the passage of time doesn't make it any less next level.

We thought 2009 was the year of Audion for Matthew Dear, what with all those singles and the live A/V extravaganza that is currently blowing through the States. But here's this release as Jabberjaw, an alias he's only used once before, for a 2003 EP on German techno powerhouse Perlon. We'll give you that the resuscitation seems a little random, but who can be mad at more floor-focused Dear material? People we don't want to hang out with anyway? Stream "The Connie Shake" below and cop the record from our buds at Ghostly.

Holiday Shores (Floridians, CMJ darlings, and all around affable guys) have a new tour-only cassette called Through The Thin Cloud and today they're gifting one of its exclusive tracks. Below, the band channels lounge lizards past in this boozy little cover of Arthur Russell’s “Your Motion Says,” replete with downtempo chords and cowbell. Hit up MySpace for tour info on where to lift the tape, or return the love by picking up their album.
