Nicolas Jaar - I Got A

There's something about this slow, soulful groove that's got me hooked. The dark, nocturnal elements, horns, and sedated hip-hop beat remind me of Portishead circa 1995, and that is a good thing. The meandering piano and french monologue seem as if they've accidentally been intercepted as interference signals from afar.

If you are feeling this track, be sure to check out the 2011 album, "Space is Only Noise." This 21-year-old put together a really haunting disc.

Sam Sparro - Black And Gold

Damn, Sam. Can I have your gaybies?

Great live lounge-style version of his 2008 hit "Black and Gold."



And here's a video with the cosmic lyrics of the original song.
