“Every perfect day starts with a lie-in, no alarms, just sunlight. No one texting, calling or emailing me. Garage in the evening. A party with me and my friends playing, no pressure on anyone. A good afters, and the next day in the park. It’s like when I went to uni and first realised I wouldn’t get in trouble if I didn’t go in, and literally watched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off instead.”
– Anz on her day dreams
That sentiment is pretty consistent with the way this song makes me feel. Hard to disagree. Listen below, and check out a little more of George Riley after the jump.

DonChristian – My Crew
In case you missed The Fader premiere, here is the gorgeous video for DonChristian‘s “My Crew” — from his debut tape, The Wayfarer — out on Greedhead/Camp&Street. It’s real good.

Mykki Blanco – Haze.Boogie.Life
Roll the dice, see what I can s/lay.
Zhala – Slippin Around
Zhala is, and has been for some time, one of the greatest lurking talents in Sweden, which is saying plenty, given how full of musical genius that country is. I was lucky enough to share a stage with her and Shamoun (an equally exciting character) at the Gagnef/Skankaloss festival a few summers ago, and they put on a very impressive show. It was no easy act to follow, no way. Fast forward a few years, and here she is again, better than ever, and seemingly ready to take over.
This Bitch Is Alive!
NYC’s gift to the children of clubland. The Carry Nation “This Bitch Is Alive” ft. Viva Ruiz is out now on Batty Bass. Remixes from Bubba, Gavin Russom, Sveta & Tokoloshe, & Johnny Dynell. Feel HUH—Ooh QURN!?

From the future: they’re no longer on the facebook.
Staygold – Rain On Our Parade
This record is finally being released after more than a long time coming. I can’t wait til it’s finally properly released so I’m not the only one raving about them all the time. Sleeping is for cats, people.
Staygold – “Backseat” ft. Spank Rock, Damien Adore, Lady Tigra (sc)
From the future: this record left off my absolute favorite song, maybe for good reason. I’m sharing it now.

From the future: neither of the above referenced releases are still available on their bandcamp, but they have other lovely stuff.
The Touch – Sermon
One of our favorite Swedish outfits, The Touch – have just released a single on Kitsuné, and it’s lovely. “Sermon” is a frosty northern gem–catchy, emotive, and very satisfying for the right dance floor.
Long Attention Span: Hell Interface
Remember Hell Interface? Hey, Boards of Canada, time might be right to resurrect this project, no? I’ll come over later and we can work on it.

Teeth – Shawty
Teeth is the alias of Helsinki based producer, Matti Pentikainen, most famous for his work with Finnish hip-hop outfit Ceebrolistics. His sound has been accurately described by Teki Latex as, “northern light-induced-clap-trap-house.” And the forthcoming Shawty 12″ out May 16th on Oneman’s 502 imprint, boasts an impressive 2-Step remix by former sushi chef FaltyDL.
Teeth – “Shawty” (mp3)
Teeth – “Shawty” (FaltyDL Remix) (mp3)
Teeth – “Shawty VIP” (yt)
From the future: initially we just posted the promo videos for these, but since the vinyl is long sold out and the release never made it to digital stores, presumably because of the Beyonce sample, I’m sharing the mp3s here. I still couldn’t find a full version of the VIP, so that’ll stay a youtube link.

Penney Candy
Accessories, nude, and Louboutin’s – grand illusion of the enduring truth to The Miss Education of Alexis Penney (V Magazine). Get your tears out on the dance floor and bring back your vices, the left coast summer heartbreak anthem debut single, in proper vinyl fashion, co-written by Nick Weiss of Teengirl Fantasy, Alexis Blair Penney – Lonely Sea on 7″, is available now.

From their upcoming sophomore LP, Waves of Past Relations. The loveliest people making equally lovely pop music.
WIN WIN – Interleave
Alex “XXXChange” Epton, best known as half of Spank Rock, has teamed up with long time friend Chris Devlin and video collagist Ghostdad on a new project, WIN WIN. The self titled debut album from the Brooklyn-based trio features guest vocals from Andrew WK, Lizzie Bugatsos, Spankrock, and Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, the latter of whose collaboration “Interleave” was the subject for director Colin Devin Moore’s new video. Apparently the footage of Alexis Taylor featured in the video was taken inside of a janitors closet during soundcheck, and subsequently transformed by Moore into a visually stunning tour de force.
WIN WIN – “Interleave” ft. Alexis Taylor (XXXChange’s 1993 mix) (mp3)
WIN WIN – “Interleave” ft. Alexis Taylor (Kingdom Remix) (mp3)
From the future: Anyone still have the Kingdom remix as an mp3? Send it my way, if you’d be so kind.
From further in the future: Found it, thanks!
Datassette
Datassette and Datashat are the aliases of London-based computer programmer and producer John Davies. His signature retro-digital sound has the crunch of vintage synthesizers while maintaining somewhat of a sharp edge. The sonic landscapes he creates are reminiscent of a video game, which isn’t surprising seeing as how he has made one of those too. The Datassette website has a pretty extensive free downloads section, so go check it out.
Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five – “The Message” (Datashat Remix) (mp3) (originally posted as part of Remix Sunday 61)
Datassette – “Start It Again” (mp3)
Datassette – “Making Plans For Nigel” (mp3)
Röyksopp – “Happy Up Here” (Datassette Remix) (mp3)
From the future: Davies seems to have removed the free downloads section of his site, so I’m uploading these bits here instead. There is a bunch of pay-what-you-wish stuff on his bandcamp though, so check that out too.

Marcus Price & Carli – Bubbelgum
Palms Out is extremely excited to announce the release of Marcus Price & Carli’s Bubbelgum, the follow up to 2010′s smash Mat Bira Kvinnor Weed. Bubbelgum is an ode to small towns, motels, and getting lifted in the club–a specific reference to that oh-so-famous strain. Stylistically, it references Chicago house & Baltimore club, while staying squarely in the bounds of modern club music, and maintaining the unique soundscape originally crafted for Mat Bira Kvinnor Weed. Shot in Nice, in southern France, by Tim Erem; the travel themed Bubbelgum video is a follow up to the cooking show madness of last year’s Mat Bira Kvinnor Weed video. Following the video is a preview of B-side “Jexpert” featuring the subject matter–Jexpert himself.
Bubbelgum is out now on bandcamp (and everywhere else), with remixes from Sam Tiba, Rebecca & Fiona, L-Wiz, and Carli himself.
Stagga – Genik Riddim ft. Skamma & Joe Blow
Stagga’s been pumping out OG dubstep for a while now, and he’s got the testosterone-fueled death wobble sound on lock. However, it wasn’t until I encountered tracks like “Rub On Ya Bass Binz” and “Face Gets Splat” that peripheral interest became pure, unadulterated love. This new collab with Joe Blow and Skamma is a propa chune. It’s nice and minimal, but with a jerky, off-time quality to the rhythm that makes the producer’s moniker all the more appropriate.
Egyptrixx & Trust – Chrysalis Records
From the future: Egyptrixx (David Psutka) now makes music under the name ACT! and runs the label Halocine Trance.

From the future: Blaqstarr – “Pressure” has been lost to the sands of time, including, inexplicably, the youtube video. If I find the mp3 I’ll put it up here for posterity.
