Nicolar Jaar is still a teenager. That's absolutely nutty. How does someone this young make/understand such fine sounds? Dude is going to become a household name in a genre that was born before him if he keeps this production up.

Jamie Woon x Ramadanman
The production on Jamie Woon's "Night Air" original is absolutely amazing. So amazing that I wasn't remotely surprised when I found out it was co-produced by Burial. Heavy layering, deep moody atmosphere, and vocal echos galore... all aspects that scream Burial involvement. Just when I thought the track couldn't be touched up or further improved, Ramadanman comes through. And he comes through big time.

J. Cole x Drake x Blackberry?
RIM needs to hault its Blackberry marketing efforts in the Toronto area - it's clearly not necessary. Peep the berry insanity starting @ 1:50.

C.R.S.T
Always feelin' C.R.S.T joints. The South Wales crew, whose name derives from the first letters of all its members' names (Chesus, Rodski, Stroud,Tony Blitz), has been steady pumping some of my favourite UK sounds (from Garagae & Funky to the more bass-heavy).
Their most recent killer:
Mista Men - What You Do To Me (C.R.S.T Remix)
...and some slightly older goodness:
The Count & Sinden - After Dark (ft. Mystery Jets)(C.R.S.T Remix)
Kele - On The Lam (C.R.S.T Remix)
The XX - Shelter (C.R.S.T Remix)
