Souleance X Bonafide Beats #42

To quote the MC around the 7 minute mark, "Ain't no no time for faking tracks." Definitely no time for that, but you need to make the time for this 50 minute mix.

Help Fresh Kils & Mad Dukez!!

Fresh Kils is no stranger to the pages of Reductive Reviews and one of the best beat-makers in the game right now. His MPC 1000 was among the gear stolen from the car that Kils, Mad Dukez and Uncle Fester are touring in so he definitely needs your help to keep making the goods. Give what you can.

The Heavy Blinkers - "Perfect Tourists"

East Coast (orch)/power-pop outfit The Heavy Blinkers make perfect summertime tunes. Irrepressibly fun stuff that will put a bounce in your step. No surprise they've enlisted pop-purveyors Jenn Grant and Sondre Lerche to help out on the forthcoming full-length, Health. Here's the first track from them in nearly eight years.

DJ Dad - "How Many PBR's?"

This is me. Well actually, it's a whole bunch of other folks, some of whom have been featured on this blog, mixed together by me.

Jungle - "Drops"

This here is an astronaut sex jam. Come down from the clouds indeed.

The Russian Futurists ft. Jeremy Greenspan - "Cochineal Red"

I was away on holidays at a cabin all last week and pretty much completely unplugged for a week. It was a great thing, but I'm playing catch-up now and one of the things I missed was this phenomenally catchy collaboration between Junior Boys' Greenspan and The Russian Futurists. They had me at the 7 second mark when the bass drops in below the synths.

Typhoon - "Young Fathers"

Not sure if I count as a young father at 36, but this song still resonates. "When you're young / you have your whole life before... and now your choices surround you / indecision confounds you." This second single from Typhoon's White Lighter just builds my anticipation even further than the first one.
