    Crue-l Grand Orchestra - Spend The Day Without You
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 51 plays

    Another one from Japan, this time from Kenji Takimi, Crue-l Grand Orchestra’s main man - and Crue-l Records head honcho… I think (?). Anyway, BIG house track from the late 90’s; been played to death over the years hence the crackly recording. Defintley one for the weekend.

    The Beatles - Blackbird (remix by Banzai Republic)
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 63 plays

    Big fan of Denmark’s Music For Dreams over the past 10 years (as I am sure Kevin will testify), accumulating pretty much everything they’ve ever put out. Here’s a remix from one of their artists, Banzai Republic, a super limited, super super white label 12” that never got an *official* release.

    Thundercat - $200 TB (prod.Flying Lotus ft. Austin Peralta)
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 64,126 plays

    Here’s a list of everything I love about this:

    • Tight bass
    • Warm keys
    • Cover art
    • Future noises
    • Imagining a smoke-filled jazz bar filled with cartoon musicians…
    • *Puts down jazz fag, steps away from cyberspace.*
