Lazer Sword dropped a hot new mix titled “Blap to the Future” on their myspace page blog yesterday. These boys keep dropping doper and doper stuff. This megamix is no exception, and is kinda blowing my mind. 

The mix is best described in their own words:
“YOUR BOYS LL AND LANDO HAVE BEEN MISSING SLEEP ALL WEEK [...]

(Gluttony by Bryan Crockett, 2002. Cultured marble.)
I love it when I spend my work weekend (mostly) away from the internet, and come back to find a damn GLUT of exciting news and new music.  YACHT+DFA=!, a new TV on the Radio song, a new Crystal Castles song, more talk about Girl Talk, a free mixtape [...]

…  For intance: I don’t know who these guys are.  But they want me to know.  Really though, I don’t want to know.
I don’t know anyone who really, really likes unsolicited friend requests from bands on Myspace. Usually when we see a new friend request we hope that it is someone we know; maybe someone [...]

I am beaming with excitement right now! The yet unreleased album from The Hold Steady is streaming in its entirety on their myspace page. The physical format real deal comes out on July 15th. The band is going to be at the Crystal Ballroom on July 27th. Things [...]

Here’s gem that I hope won’t stay buried for long. One of the tracks reviewed in sometimes-Portland resident Philip Sherburne’s Pitchfork column, “This Month In: Techno,” is Gotye’s “Heart’s a Mess” remixed by Supermayer (Kompakt Records’ Michael Mayer and Superpitcher.) It starts off with an infectious stomp of shuffle-chugging kick drum and truncated [...]

If you haven’t heard it yet: listen to the Juan Maclean’s newest single “Happy House.” It is a disco house MONSTER and has been getting quite a bit of prime speaker time lately. It was the first song dropped by DJ JDH after Simian Mobile Disco’s well-lit and well received live set at Holocene last [...]
