Boddika and Joy Orbison drop two new collaborative tracks, raising the anticipation of these two creating an album together even higher. Though they do fade out prematurely, the hypnotic techno grooves here are undeniable. The previous tracks these guys dropped together earlier this year were even better, though. Enjoy! /via/
A young MC Ride–yeah, the Death Grips MC Ride–is featured on this Mxlplx video for “Civic Duties.” The video seems to be shot in the same scenic, highway-convenient location as this Swank Daddy video for “I’m A Man”: Ride clearly appears in the background of that video

New wave revivalists New Young Pony Club have a nice, new single featuring an icy post-punk beat and some lyrics that read like a good book. Liking what I’m hearing!
Stream: mewithoutYou- “East Enders Wives” Another track drops from the forthcoming mewithoutYou album, Ten Stories. It’s a quiet contrast from the first song to be released from this album, but no less enthralling as a result. Can’t wait to see how all these tracks come together on the
Some bright and uplighting Ethiopian jazz rock from the Debo Band on the track “Asha Gedawo,” which is the first song to drop from the group’s forthcoming Sub Pop-released, self-titled album. Enjoy! I’m really loving the horns and exotic groove on this one.
