Lusine
I got my first listen of the new School of Seven Bells album Disconnect From Desire yesterday and it is magnificent. Then this remix magiced its way into my iTunes remix shuffle and it was like icing on the cake. Lusine plays off of SOSB’s etherial spirit by scaling it back and adding some subtle tweaks and sparkles. This is a smooth smooth jam you should pop on your next chill out mix.

Emynd
Philly DJ Emynd snuck this track out there this week (I caught wind of if from the heads over at Uristocrat) and it just rubbed me the right way. It’s a laid back take on synth pop rockers La Roux vocals spread over swaggering beats copped from Birdman’s Money To Blow. The two meld much better than you might expect another job well done by meester Emynd.

The Very Best
Not sure about the rest of you but there has been a lot of World Cup watching in the TWIAPC household. Sadly with Ghana’s loss tragic loss today all the teams I had any attachment to are out. I’ll still tune in to see how the tournament of surprises plays out but hopefully with a little less anxiety involved. This remix by The Very Best of African troubadour Baaba Maal’s “Miracle” is totally something I can see running behind some of the replay montages that will be peppering sports casts over the next week. They maintain the tribal soul of the original track but amp it up perfectly with some superimposed beats. Get it.
