The kids at le.tanque asked me to do a guest mix of bumpin' underground house for the springtime. After playing strictly vinyl for the past 10 years, this is the first mix I've ever made with CDs. I feel like a bit of a whore...but a giggly one. Freak it!

Derek Vincent Smith aka Pretty Lights landed in Calgary last night for Snowblower, a free outdoor music festival made ice-hot by PK Events as part of High Performance Rodeo. Armed with a sack of samples and a Monome 128, the Colorado-based producer served 2,000 toqued-up souldiers a sonic sushi roll of soulful glitch-hop and grimey wobbles dripping with horns, funk and dubwise sublines. We'll be talking about this one for a while.

Eddie C's Facebook page tuned us into this first video from booty funk soldier Dām-Funk's 5 LP release, Toeachizown, which dropped on Stones Throw last month. As West Coast coast as it gets.
Toronto fixture DJ Tasc has served a hilariously tight thump to one of golf's loosest playaz, complete with 911 audio and a deliciously greasy low-end wobble. Golf clap to the ballers at Space Ballin'.

Canadian nu-disco art project Fan Death are back on the scene with a follow-up to their earlier singles, Veronica's Veil and Cannibal. This time with a creepy-cool visual immersion to remind us that, as my friend Michael so sagely remarked, our youth is a goldmine of nightmares. Thanks to Matthew for the find.
