Loving this.
Malente and Jay Robinson‘s “Cherry Pop”, feautring the vox of Yo! Majesty, got a tune up by Raffertie recently. And it comes courtesy of Fat! Club. 808 bassline heaven, and definitely a club popper if I ever heard one.
The track was taken down from Soundcloud. Peep it over at LilWayneHQ

RSVP: Subfix 3 Year Anniversary Party feat Scuba @ Smartbar
Scuba’s at Smartbar tonight & I will most certainly be there. Hotflush on a Thursday? I’m not the only one who’s been waiting for it. Check his track on Sistol’s Brighter Side Remixes Vol 2 to get your head right.

Brand new on from Ty Segall titled “You Make The Sun Fry.” I had the chance to check out his performance at Empty Bottle last time around. Pretty electrifying show. Check out his interview over at Pitchfork.
You’re a cool dude.
This one caught my ear a few days ago. Haven’t been able to shake it. It’s Matt John‘s “Hello Again” off his recently released LP, The Bridge.
Does it get much better than this? Round Table Knights‘ “Paparussi”, remixed by L-Vis 1990 & The Neon Dreams showed up on RCRDLBL this morning. Just one of the remixes off of RTK’s latest EP which dropped yesterday.

DFA threw this CFCF remix out today, promoting Holy Ghost!’s latest Wait & See EP. Also uploaded was that new Planningtorock single “The Breaks” that is also collosal. Big things coming from their direction lately.
Joe And Will Ask and Kiwi teamed up to rework the a Miloko classic, promoting their monthly Vikings party on May 26th. Summer vibes.
