Fresh off our first lazy Sunday in quite some time I’ve got a new mix for all y’all. It features a lot of buzz bands from SXSW as well as some oldies but goodies. Check the tracklist after the jump: Continue reading…
Kickin’ off the workweek with a new mixtape. We hope to hear back on whether we’re going to get an appartment on the Westside in the next few days. Our fingers are getting pretty tired from being crossed for so long. The rental market is wicked competitive in this part of LA – it’s no NYC, but it’s still pretty tough. Hopefully our next mix will be a moving mix. The James Blake and the Jamie XX albums are getting serious play on my iTunes so they continue to get prominent placement in the mix. The new Destroyer album Kaputt is also rock solid with super sexy saxophones. I highly recommend you get grab all three albums if you haven’t already. Track list after the jump: Continue reading…
I’ve got another themed GBM mixtape spinoff titled “Progeny”. This LP features ten remixes of bands typically heard on GBM in recontextualized and genre bending ways. The rundown:
Cee Lo – Georgia (Band of Horses cover)
The XX – You’ve Got the Love (Theophilus London Remix) This is actully a remix of a remix. Very meta.
Toro y Moi – Fax Shadow (Shlohmo Remix)
Yeasayer – Madder Red (Hermanos Inglesos Remix)
Florence and The Machine – Heavy In Your Arms (C-Berg Remix)
Kings of Convenience – The Weight of My Words (Four Tet Remix)
Vampire Weekend – White Sky (Basement Jaxx Remix)
Carabou – Sun (Kidstreet Remix)

Enjoy!

First mixtape of the New Year!!! This ‘lil guy’s got an extra helping of synths and lo-fi distrotions and features two new cuts from Jamie xx, producer extrordinare and one third of GBM long-time fave The XX. I think this is going to be a great year for Mr xx and his wicked beat machines. Oh man! There are so many great albums out now or on the horizon. Winter is always the best time of year for indie music – that way we all marinate with the albums in the cold and are foaming at the mouth by summer when touring hits high gear. So stoked!

As promised, here’s a mix featuring Christmas tunes that are a little off the beaten path. Some of the songs are brand new while others have been around for ages, but just don’t make the usual Christmas standard cut. I wasn’t able to record any of our vinyl to MP3 so Irwin the Disco Duck and Funky Christmas will have to wait until next year. But there are plenty of other goodies to be had. Enjoy and merry Christmas! Track list and download link after the jump: Continue reading…
Howdy! As promised, here’s GBM 16. Kick back and let this one wash over you on a crisp December day. This mix has everything from underground hip-hop, to lo-fi buzz rock, to west African jazz – so, you know, par for the course. We’ve got a lot of Christmas get togethers coming up plus I’ve got some gifts and whatnot to make before the big day so it may be a tad quiet around here. But who knows, whenever I usually say that I end up throwing a bunch of stuff up. As usual, cop the track list after the jump: Continue reading…
Happy Monday and Merry Christmas! Here’s the first of at least two christmas mixes I’ve pulled together to get you in the mood for Christmas. This mix is longer than the typical EPs I’ve sprinkled in over the last few months, thus the LP label. I’ll drop GBM 16 later this week as well for anyone that would rather skip out on the holiday cheer. Peep the tracklist after the jump. Continue reading…
Happy Friday everyone. Weekend forecast here in LA is supposed to be rain, so it sounds like lazy time for me and Jess. I’ve got a fun little EP for all y’all. Hindsight is a look back at some of my favorite electronic producers and DJ tunes from the 90s. This isn’t meant to be a kitschy or ironic flashback, but a collection of songs that I think still sound pretty fresh even after 10 to 15 years. Track list below: Continue reading…
I can’t believe it’s already been over a month since my last mixtape. October was a blur and the holiday season has officially begun – CRAZY! Went by Target tonight and they already have their xmas decor hanging. Oh, and its 90 degrees BTW. Climate change. It’s happening. Peep the tracklist after the jump: Continue reading…
We’re kickin’ off the weekend with a fresh new mixtape – whooah! I hope you’re all doing well and getting ready for the fall. Fall in SoCal means 90 degree days and chilly nights – so you know, it’s like summer… when she’s off her meds. Annnny way, I hope this mixtape inspires you to squeeze out those fleeting moments of summer. Continue reading…
