Claptone - Cream [mp3]
A smooth house groove that samples Wu-Tang’s C.R.E.A.M*
*which, yes, originally sampled The Charmels
Notorious B.I.G. - Machine Gun Funk [mp3]
This song is also stuck in my head. Apparently, it’s Old Rap Earworm Friday.
Happy OREF, everyone!
Sidebar: this remix is pretty great and has way more of a weekend jump off feel to it.
Ghostface Killah - Daytona 500 [mp3]
This song. Stuck in my head. All day.
Eliza Doolittle - Money Box (Jamie xx remix) [mp3]
This came out two years ago but is new to me! How did I miss this? (via)
Diplo and Usher - Climax [mp3]
This is very good. Very good.
I don’t want to like this, but I like this!
Thug Life - Pour Out A Little Liquor [mp3]
For Bea Arthur.
For Michael Jackson.
For Amy Winehouse.
For Steve Jobs
For Heavy D.
For Whitney Houston.
To be clear: this celebrity death actually bums me out. She put out some jams over the last 25 years.
Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha (Norman Cook Remix) [mp3]
I feel that everyone should have a copy of this on their iPhone in case they absolutely, positively, have to get a party started IMMEDIATELY.

Miike Snow - Paddling Out [mp3]
New stuff! The keys on this sound like 1991.
Little Dragon - Ritual Union [mp3]
I think I’m about 6 months late to the party here but, whatever, this track is great.
The Tensnake remix takes things in a completely different direction… and it’s also great.
TLC - Creep (Hood Internet Remix) [mp3]
Dang. Feelin’ this one.
