Wrassle Mania – Hate Fuckers. Nothing more I could find about them other then their name and the compilation of new artists here they are a part of. For more details on the ‘Unlimited Free Milkshakes compilation, read Zen Tapes’ post on the new compilation here.

Favorite off of it includes Wrassle Mania’s Hate Fuckers below, and also Teen Suicide’s Salvia Plath. Oh word swap band name and tracks.. how intriguing you are, you…

Wrassle Mania – Hate Fuckers

i love this. its so fun and light and i cant stop moving at work while i play this to me myself and my desk while imagining I am on the rooftop and yes there is a sunset. so listen to rooftop sunsets by Passions, from Sydney, Australia.

Also like them on facebook so you can look through their summer faded photos with envy: http://facebook.com/passionsmusic

Passions – Rooftop Sunsets by Passions
And if you’re in Sydney – 28th of April free rooftop sunset party with Passions and others that looks fun enough to fly over for.

You might remember a little interview we did with Matt FX, music supervisor for the MTV show Skins (Part 1 HERE and Part 2 HERE). Since wrapping the show, our young and ambitious friend decided to really go for his passion and start making music. Here’s the FIRST track, for which he says…

It’s getting warm out, so I thought I’d let this track out to play. The track’s a true story, chapter of last summer. First of many.
With love, thanks, and certainty,
MATT FX

There’s not much more to say other than this EP is EVERYWHERE and it’s really good / worth checking out.  Zeds Dead & Omar LinX’s Victor EP on Mad Decent’s Jeffree’s label features seven 90s sampled, hip hop tracks from the Toronto-based electro / dance duo (Zeds Dead) and rapper (Omar LinX).  The EP is available for free download on the Mad Decent Soundcloud page HERE.

Zeds Dead & Omar LinX – No Prayers

I wish I was going to be in Sydney on May 26th – 1. because it would be cool and 2. because it would be cool to go to this concert.  Efterklang will be performing live at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony.  The concert will double as the world premiere of their new album Piramida, which will be released later this year on 4AD and Rumraket.

Here’s a bit about the show: For the concert we have engaged composers Missy Mazzoli (Kronos Quartet, Victoire), Karsten Fundal (Under Byen, Choir of Young Believers) and Daniel Bjarnason (Sigur Rós, Múm) to help our new songs to fully integrate with the Sydney Symphony orchestra, which will be conducted by Matthew Coorey.

More info HERE.

Some tunes:

Efterklang – Modern Drift (Oh No Ono’s Cologne to Paris Remix)
Efterklang – Raincoats (Trentemøller Remix)

It’s SUNNY and WARM in New York City, people are heading to SXSW and it’s my last full day in the office before heading on a trip to the sunny South myself (although not to SXSW this year, unfortunately).

So it’s time to dust off that mood changing, SAD (as in Seasonal Affective Disorder) combating music and prep for a Spring / Summer filled with BBQs, summer cocktails, summer dresses and shorts.

So here you are — a little breezy, a little psychedelic and all fun, Lefse Records is putting out the new Way Yes EP Walkability on 3/27.  Listen…

Way Yes – Important (the first single)

Some more tunes from their past 7″ HERE.

And I just really love the original of this song, so a Way Yes remix for you…

Oberhofer – Dead Girls Dance (Way Yes Remix) (an oldie but goodie)

If you don’t know him: get to know him.

Clams Casino from Nutley, New Jersey. One of the best sentences I’ve ever written on here.

Clams Casino – I’m God

I’ll never doubt my love for Parisian electro. Especially anything Ed Banger. Check out SebastiAn much more beyond this track but start here for breakfast:
