Stream: Oneohtrix Point Never - New Life Now


Last year L_A_N  penned Daniel Lopatin for this truly, truly bizarre mix, which finally resurfaced. Fans of Lopatin's R Plus Seven venture as Oneohtrix Point Never may be in for a total surprise, or see this coming a mile away. Bluntly, "New Life Now" isn't much like R Plus Seven. What's here is a jagged mix of world music samples, muddled dialogue, synth pop, and pretty much every melted concoction you can think of.

Stream it below and order R Plus Seven today on Warp.

Mix: Bowls - The Token Jazz Hour (J Dilla Vinyl Mix)


It's rainy, I know. If you're from the East coast, like myself, then you've been swamped in cold wind, broken leaves, and shuddering overcast for the better part of a week now. There's no definition of autumn, but the gentle-hearted overlook of it is generally all about sweaters, apples, and something distantly familial. Maybe it is, but autumn to me seems to be a gradual acceptance of cold rain and darker mornings.

Maybe that's why this J Dilla vinyl mix from Nashville's Bowls is sitting so well with me. Dilla has a life's worth of material to be constructed into almost any form; subdued, vigorous, experimental, etc. For this hour-long effort, Bowls put together a collection of samples that so eagerly fit on this cloudy morning. Maybe it isn't cloudy where you are, but hopefully it fits your day too.

Mixtape: Gent Mason - Crescent


Little-known producer Gent Mason popped up last month with the lush track "Eden," courtesy of London label Aesop. Today, the heady producer debuted another promising piece in the form of the 19-minute "Crescent" mix, which lends itself a more abstract hand with blissful pieces weaving throughout.

Stream the effort below. Mason's "Eden" 12", which includes the B-Sides "Head" and "Couldn't Last Until Summer" is set for release October 7 courtesy of Aesop. Pre-orders are available now.

Oneman's BBC Radio 1 set


Stepping over at Diplo and Friend's BBC Radio 1 a couple weeks back was resident Rinse FM DJ Oneman, with a tremendous 60 track(!) mix session. Going into details of the behemoth set is possible overkill, but Oneman doesn't leave too many steps uncovered. It's heavy in acid house, hip-hop, and endlessly engaging. Check out the session below, which is also available for download.

The Black Dog's FACT mix


One of electronica's most renown predecessors and pioneers of the '90s IDM movement, The Black Dog, have contributed one of FACT Mag's more memorable mixes in recent months.

 As one of the primary forerunners of Sheffield label Warp Records, the trio managed to squeeze in some label alums, starting off the another IDM mainstay, Autechre. The mix sticks mostly with a transfixed and adored '90s movement, and a couple new digs just for the mix.

Listen and/or download the entire 40 minutes below.

In case there was any forgetting, Los Angeles' Boiler Room is still consistently killing it.

Bahwee and Co. Fee's half-hour sessions from last month's HUHWHAT&WHERE party have been released, and are readily available to download. Each cut is filled with sunny back room beats and downright dirty production keys, flowing well back-to-back. Check them out below.

Lunice's Boiler Room set at SXSW

The Boiler Room is on an unbelievable roll lately.

After releasing John Talabot's recent set in Miami, and shortly after Death Grips manic SXSW set, the Boiler Room has another SXSW spot worth your attention.

Lunice's Austin set comes off a tad slow at the beginning, but things turn up to unbelievable degrees once Denino Farrar, Flatbush Zombies, and Mykki Blanco storm out. The finale culminates with TNGHT's remix of Kanye West's "Cold" and finally "Higher Ground" with the whole place ready to explode. See the whole thing below.

Lusine mix for MTV Hive


Stopping over at MTV Hive with a healthy new mix was Seattle producer Lusine (Jeff McIlwain), still coming off his otherwise underrated release The Waiting Room earlier this year off Ghostly International.

The one hour 12 minute mix starts off with Emeralds, who McIlwain claims was a "a big inspiration for me on my album." Also featured in the mix (check the full-track list here) are remixes from DJ Koze, Four Tet, and plenty of his own to top it off.

Check the mix out below and grab Lusine's latest LP The Waiting Room today.

Live: Lapalux - Benji B's BBC Radio 1 show


The newest member of Flying Lotus' highly-touted Brainfeeder label is Essex producer Lapalux, who recently debuted his second LP Nostalchic.

Included in the near 30-minute mix are several Nostalchic cuts, and a few special selections, including a spliced version of Gwen Stefani's "Luxurious."

Ben UFO - Pleasure Principle/Bleep Mix


In partnership with Bleep and the upcoming Pleasure Principle Festival, UK producer Ben UFO has released this monster hour-plus mix. Originally, Ben had created the session as part of his addition to the Fabriclive series, with Fabriclive 67. However the cut ran on obviously long, so this portion was left aside.

DJ Koze's FADER mix


Pampa Records founder Stefan Kozalla, better known as Hamburg DJ/producer DJ Koze, dropped his monster mix over at FADER earlier. Streamlining Kendrick Lamar's smoother than smooth "Money Trees" into lulling R&B, the mix combs through his "no stress mix" without any pretensions. So little in fact there's no tracklist available, but fans will recognize Freddie Gibbs leading into dousing experimental acid house in the mix's latter half.

Stream/download the mix below and grab Kozella's upcoming Amygdala today over at Pampa Records.



Head to FADER for an exclusive full DJ Koze interview.

More J Dilla mixes from Kutmah


Earlier this month, Brighton producer Kutmah offered up a tribute to the late-great and frequently mentioned J Dilla on the sixth anniversary of his death. While NTS fans may have seen several other tribute mixes added to the collection, they kinda fell under the wire here. And while the anniversary may have passed, anytime we have an opportunity to celebrate Dilla is a good time.

Stream Kutmah's two additional Dilla tribute mixes below.



New Ryan Hemsworth mix for FADER


No producer has been talked about more in recent months than Canada's Ryan Hemsworth. He's been dolling out mix after mix, with a sparse few singles here and there since late December, which culminates with this utterly un-ignorable mix for FADER.

Featured in the 47-minute collection are a few new cuts, including a sweet little Broken Social Scene remix Ryan completed during his high school days. Also included is a brand new solo track with the greatest title in modern music history; "(。◕‿◕。)." The latter comes in around the 39-minute mark.

Listen below and head to FADER for the in-depth tracklist.

Diplo's mix for Sway In The Morning


If you ask me (too late, you did), there aren't enough Diplo mixes. Earlier today, the Philly DJ/icon stopped by Sway In The Morning on Shade45 to bring another healthy mix to your day. This one fills the billing for the more conventional stagger, starting off with hits from Danny Brown, his own Major Lazer, and Missy Elliott. Stream/download the 26 minute mix below.
