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.
Sounds Like: Zomby, Kid A-era Radiohead, Guido

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Manic Street Preachers - This Joke Sport Severed (Patrick Wolf's Love Letter To Richey Remix)
Why does Patrick Wolf deserve to make music? Because when he listens to this he hears the above; his remix of the Manics' "This Joke Sport Severs" quite possibly the first wonky-classical track you'll have heard (on this planet, at least). Single-handedly skewering the myth that all IDM guys are shy, bearded loners, Patrick's reimagining will appear alongside other efforts (by British Sea Power, Four Tet, Fuck Buttons, Optimo, Underworld, The Horrors, et cetera...) on Journal For Plague Lovers Remixed, yours to own now.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Starkey - Gutter Music + Hair Braider
Philadelphian son he may be, but Starkey’s chops and glugs sound honed in Croydon, England; where shack-ish train portals shuttle passengers through an undergrowth of industrial towers at the blurred, suburban edges of London’s consciousness. “Gutter Music”, parts pulled from Metalheadz drum’n’bass, Wiley’s grime, Skream’s Plastician-era dubstep and imported electro, rattles and hums along like one of Croydon's modded Vauxhall Novae; alloy rims gleaming, dump valve wheezing, blue neons glowing beneath, illegal. The perfect soundtrack for when the rudeboys turn the town into a racetrack every Saturday night, Starkey – real name PJ Geissinger – packs the beats you’ll hear pumping at car park pit stops, his remix of R. Kelly’s “Hair Braider” hyped and live with teenboy fantasies of a girl who’ll thread your extensions, smoke your weed and empty your balls over the course of the same evening.
