EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Cougar - Rhinelander
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.

DOWNLOAD: Tittsworth - Here He Comes (feat. Nina Sky & Pitbull) (DJ Day Remix)
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.

STREAM: Jabberjaw - The Connie Shake
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.
DOWNLOAD: Ancestors - The Ambrose Law
a
We're going to be real with you: this Ancestors song is over thirteen minutes long. You might've surmised from the photo that these dudes aren't into brevity, but really you guys this is an almost quarter-hour of swashbuckling, organ-smeared doom riffage. It's a freaking leviathan. In terms of getting the most bang for you download or whatever, this trumps everything else. Should you need more, the album from whence it came is available from Tee Pee.
EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Ulysses - Toucan (Demo Mix)
(Photo: Dan Pak)
Because what's Thursday without indulging in a ten-minute krautrock cut with keyboards that sound like ooze dripping from our corneas and drums that had to have been played by someone with ten arms? (Answer: boring.) Ulysses is New York resident Elliot Taub, one half of the Neurotic Drum Band and seasoned NYC nightlife dude (that's him standing in front of the old club Fun, where he threw the Regressive Technologies parties in the early 2000s). He just put out a 12-inch of some more club-appropriate stuff on Wurst, go buy that here when you get to the other side of this unreleased epic.
Sounds like: Faze Action, Permanent Vacation, Liars at their most wasted
EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Bag Raiders Vs. Sammy Bananas - Fun Punch (feat. Carrie Wilds)

Fool's Gold just put out a record with Sydney party denizens Bag Raiders, collecting some remixes from FG associates and a new original with Donnis for the North American exclusive Big Fun EP. This mega retro version of their single "Fun Punch" by Sammy Bananas and Brooklyn singer Carrie Wilds was held just for us, and since it sounds like Gloria Estefan as heard through a pack of Starburst, we are obviously psyched to share. Download's below; for the Big Fun EP hit up Beatport or iTunes.

DOWNLOAD: Beni - Maximus (Harvard Bass Remix)
The first thing you're going to notice about this Harvard Bass remix of Beni from the Kitsune comp is the synth riff, which sounds like a rubber duck being used as a fire alarm. That's cool and all, but we're really gassed on the snare rolls that are peppered throughout, because as any Mannie Fresh fan knows, snare rolls are friggin' exhilarating. Buy the full comp right here.
EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Vitalic - Poison Lips (Captain Flash Remix)
Much has been said about Vitalic doing the mutant electro thing before seemingly every Western European teenager had Ableton spewing chunks, but honestly, his songs are so engrossing that context just seems futile. New LP Flashmob has a great single in the sleaze-disco of "Poison Lips," which has been rubbed into this narcotic synth odyssey by Belgium's Captain Flash. Lots of endorphin showers to be had here.
DOWNLOAD: Das Glow - Lite Brite (Strip Steve Remix)

Our partners at Institubes just put out a remix package for Das Glow's 2008 single "Lite Brite," with this bugged liquid-funk flip from Boys Noize pal Strip Steve being the essential get. The full release, with a version from Qebrus and a b-side called "A Lighter Shade Of Bright," is coppable over at Beatport. Also, Berliners: Das Glow and Strip Steve link up this weekend at Villa for the latter's new single release party; would be weird if this didn't get an airing or two.
