Diplo x Gucci Mane (mixtape)

I've been sucking major balls (II) at fulfilling my duty as Mad Decent Ottawa promo rep in the past few months, so time I change that around a bit. I blame it on iTunes & other purchase sites' country download restrictions though... almost all the promo, release, and freebie links I'm given are not attainable due to IP address cockblockery.

This, however, is available to everyone - Mad Decent head honcho Diplo's new Gucci mixtape, featuring an absolutely stacked roster of remix talent (Mumdance, Flying Lotus, Benzi, Willy Joy, Flying Lotus, + more). I'm no Gucci fan (I actually find him boring after the 40 second mark of every song), but this tape provides the only bearable/enjoyable flip of the Mane I've heard to date.

2 joints off the mixtape:

Gucci Mane - Excuse Me (Diplo remix)

Gucci Mane - Break Yourself (Diplo remix ft. Lil B)

The XX x Pariah

Been just over a month since my last The XX mention. That post, featuring their remix of Florence + The Machine's "You've Got The Love", kinda stuck with me. The edit grew on me so much that I seriously think it was one of the top 5 remixes of 2009. This time around its a UK dude by the name of Pariah that takes quite the soft Burial-esque route on the XX touch up.

The XX - Basic Space (Pariah remix)

Brackles remixes

I don't know much about this Brackles cat. All I know is that I like him. His remix game is on point (to say the least), and he shares bills/stages with names (High Contrast, Mumdance, L-Vis 1990, Crazy Cousinz, Bok Bok, to name a few) that tickle my heavier tastebuds. People need to keep an eye & ear out for this guy.

Very effective, soft dub, stripping down of the otherwise MSTRKRFT monster:

MSTKRFT - Heartbreaker (Brackles remix)

On a slightly more powerful dubstep tip, but still without wompwomp-ing the shit out of it:
