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.

ELO - Evil Woman (InnerWestSoul Piano Power Edit)

Part One (Evil Woman) by InnerWestSoul

If anybody can source a download link for this 2010 tune, I'd be forever grateful! It seems to be pretty underground for the moment, with only a vinyl promo version floating around out there and no official online representation for this Sydney-based crate-digger besides his Soundcloud page.

I'd also like to know where all of this epic piano was summoned from! I sure don't remember it from Electric Light Orchestra's 1975 original version. So perhaps its sampled from a rare alternative version, or possibly added by InnerWestSoul himself. Again, if you know some more info about this track, I'm the first who wants to know!
