EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Primary 1 - Ploy (First Burn With Polly Brown)
It's fitting this song comes with a capture of the moment Primary 1's brain blew, 'cause "Ploy (First Burn With Polly Brown)" is the true sound of madness. Seriously, it's like three or four songs playing at once here; like Toro Y Moi's lo-fi pop without the haze, so douche-funk slap-bass juts out at awkward angles and horns toot like they're butting into a street argument. The first music to emerge from the imminent Mess Detective, Primary 1's debut 'proper' arrives next year. Fingers X'd the Londoner continues to descend into his own madness.
Sounds Like: Theo Parrish, Toro Y Moi, Hudson Mohawke

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Comanechi - Rabbit Hole (Becoming Real Remix)
Bubbling bong water. Screaming children. Duelling music boxes. A pregnant mouse. You can make hit records out of anything these days - listen close enough to Becoming Real's remix of "Rabbit Hole" and you'd probably be able to hear Amelia Earhart banging the holy grail against the rusted tin bonnet of an alien craft. If you long hard for guitars amid this nouveau sonic melee, find them in full force on Comanechi's enraged new album Crime Of Love.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: James Yuill - This Sweet Love (Earth Version)
The original version of "This Sweet Love" appeared on Turning Down Water For Air, James Yuill's debut LP released earlier this year on Moshi Moshi in the UK and Nettwerk here in the States. On September 22nd, Yuill releases the "Earth & Fire" versions of that album, which apparently aren't remixes but are instead entirely rearranged, re-recorded tracks. Here, that meant adding a percolating xylophone part and little else, resulting in something you could play after Architecture In Helsinki and still classify as a love song.

DOWNLOAD: DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid - Azadi (The New Complexity) feat. Sussan Deyhim

This is weird. Never expect less from Spooky! It's giving us flashbacks of when we backpacked through Nicaragua, landing in an Israeli-owned café with silk pillows on the floor and hash milkshakes on the menu. We could have sworn this cut was blasting the three days we spent huddled in a hammock there. But, that was a year ago. And Spooky's new manifesto, The Secret Song featuring fellow genrebusters like Thurston Moore, The Jungle Brothers, The Coup, and Rob Swift, doesn't drop 'til October. Perhaps it was all an out-of-body future-forward experience. On too many levels, that's really the only thing that makes sense.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Felix Da Housecat - We All Wanna Be Prince (Grey Ghost & Deth Hertz Remix)
It's been 25 years since Purple Rain, and who better to drop a tribute to the man who sexed-up yellow chaps than Felix da Housecat. If dude's produced a track that wasn’t handled with sequin-studded kid gloves, we haven’t heard it. Shining with 80’s prom patina, “We All Wanna Be Prince” is happy, pure stuff. A slick, Chicago club blend. Bask in the glammy mpfree below, available exclusively before the longer version hits Beatport tomorrow.

VIDEO PREMIERE + EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Colette - Think You Want it + About Us (Chuck Love Rework)
Om Records' Colette burst onto the RCRD LBL scene last week, and "Think You Want It" was such a splash, we decided to premiere the video before it got all over the interwebs. It’s just as we’d hoped: a sparse Calvin Harris-esque set where the presence of either lens-less aviators or bordello lighting cues a dance party or Our First Lady of House devolving into sexy, sexy writhing. Equally exciting, we got our hands on the chrome-dipped "About Us", which Chuck Love polished into silvery oblivion. Mom, we broke your lamp dancing. Can we have some money to buy the album anyway?

FULL ALBUM STREAM: Deastro's "Moondagger"
Today is the day of Moondagger. Yes, Deastro–the one-man studio explosion sometimes know as Randolph Chabot–releases his debut LP through our pals at Ghostly today, and if you haven't been convinced to drop down the clams for it, read this, this, this, and this. If that still isn't enough, we've got the whole album streaming below. If even that isn't enough then you can just go bury your head in the dirt. (JK y'all, but you're really missing out).

Colette is the type of bubbly ingénue who could make even the most hardened pop-house-hater smile, evidenced by the fact that her debut was crowned the most downloaded dance album on the US iTunes chart a few years back. The newest track off her second record Push, feels like the first time you nailed the electric slide, leaving blonde glitter and spun sugar on the gym’s dance floor. And then your older sister came to pick you up and she was pumping “Think You Want It” and you wondered aloud who was this choir-girl-turned-DJ who sang like Kylie Minogue and had Lady Gaga’s hair stylist and your sister rolled her eyes and told you to get with the program.

Exclusive new RCRD LBL download: Miike Snow Vs. Peter Bjorn & John - "It Don't Move Me"
Like they did with Vampire Weekend's "The Kids Don't Stand A Chance," Miike Snow battle it out with Peter Bjorn & John's "It Don't Move Me," from the newly released Living Thing. Download it FREE on RCRD LBL!
Thrown in the bag is the trio's usual arsenal: pools of clubby synths and their syrupy friends, all wrapped tightly around the vocal like snug winterwear. The Miike Snow album doesn't hit until June 9th via Downtown Records, but you can hear it in full right now on the Miike Snow MySpace page!
DOWNLOAD: Deastro - Spirtle + Video Profile
Over at their RCRD LBL blog, our friends at Ghostly posted a great little video profile of Randolph Chabot, also known as Detroit-based technicolor pop wizard Deastro. Shot and directed by longtime Ghostly friend James P. Morse, the clip follows Chabot from his morning bacon-cooking routine, on to the local bookstore and eventually to the show, where things close out with a typically sweaty, full-band Deastro performance. Dude's undying positivity is the real star throughout, an all-smiles bundle of energy browsing stacks of sci-fi novels and waving to neighbors from his front porch. The second Deastro album, Moondagger, hits on June 2nd, but next week (May 12) Ghostly will also release the new single, "Vermillion Plaza." Chew on the three tracks we have here until then, including the newish, non-album pop nugget "Spirtle."
