Mixtape: Knxwledge - Touching Bass (Noisey Series)

The newest installment in Noisey's Touching Bass mixtape series comes from LA producer Knxwledge, who packs the near 40-minute smash with low-hung rap hits, warped with mind-melting production. The whole effort is available for stream/download below, and comes with a special interview with the 25-year-old. In it, he talks about his love for jerked chicken, his sneaker collection, and the Jersey-centric samples he taps into on the mix (including a lot from Hype Williams 1998 film Belly, starring Nas and DMX).

Mixtape: Flatbush Zombies - BetteroffDEAD

Ultra-prolific rap trio Flatbush Zombies just burst your Thursday wide open with the brand new BetteroffDEAD mixtape. Group member Erick Arc Elliott does the majority of the production, but two of the 19 tracks feature help from Harry Fraud and Obey City. Additionally, OLD rapper Danny Brown sits in on "Drug Parade" and Action Bronson helps out with a guest verse on "Club Soda."

Stream the whole effort below, which available for free download.

Album Download: Knifefight - Knifefight

Knifefight, made up of rapper Beans and Brooklyn producer Mux Mool, has a beauty of a free mixtape courtesy of Anticon.

The six-track effort comes with Mux Mool's calm digital footprint, syncing 80s funk grooves with drags of Euro-fused electro over Beans' hearty verses. The Anti Pop Consortium co-founder also teams up with the likes of Cities Aviv, Kool A.D., and Sub Con on several tracks, making it all the more important that you download it right now.

Album Stream: Harrison - When It Rains

I've touched base very lightly on Toronto producer Harrison a while back this year. His well-versed eclectic touch swayed between jazz revivalism and staunchly accessible hip hop, making an instantly likable, indelible craft seem effortless. His newest project, When It Rains, comes to us at "name your own price" courtesy of his Bandcamp. The 11-track effort finds base everywhere, but largely stays in tune with the autumn inspired jazz sounds.

Stream/download the whole album below.

Album Stream: Dpat - In Bloom

Houston's 23-year-old producer Dpat is already on his second album (still getting around to that elusive first one), with the brand new In Bloom. The seven track record is brimming with convexly cool and contorted rhythms and subtlety enriching harmonics, and is free to download courtesy of his Bandcamp page. As well, kudos to album cover creator Samüel Johnson, who has done previous work with the likes of Active Child, MS MR, XXYYXX, and plenty more. Fantastic work.

Budo - Barcelona

Seattle act Budo, whose newest album The Finger And The Moon is due out October 8, debuted the undeniably intriguing new single from the LP, "Barcelona."

The single, complete with Budo's low-hum verses, sparring between gentle bass and subtle arrangements, is available to download below. Expect big things soon.

Mix: Pearson Sound's Guide to the Music of Dave Huisman

Days ahead of Hessle Audio's August 2 set at Fabric in London, label co-founder Pearson Sound has strung together a mix of tracks from Dutch producer Dave Huisman. The name might not be terribly well known, considering Huisman has an array of aliases, including as A Made Up Sound, Dogdaze, and 2562 - whom he will be performing as during the August 2 set. Stream/download the entire mix below and head over to FACT for the tracklist.

Mixtape: Knxwledge - Hexual.Sealings.Prt.5

New Jersey/Philadelphia producer Knxwledge (now taking up residence in Los Angeles) has what seems to be his 400th release in 2013, Hexual.Sealings.Prt.5. The 8-track mix is fixates on mellowed out soul remixes and samples, even turning heads on his own "Suit & Tie" remix from Justin Timberlake.

Stream the effort below, or head to Knxwledge's Bandcamp to pitch in on one of his many releases.

Mixtape: Arca - &&&&&

One of the more curious inclusions on last month's Yeezus (which kinda gives some insight now on the direction of the record) was little-known producer Arca. Before his Kanye-assisted breakout, Arca had released a series of Stretch mixtapes, both hiding under 30 minutes a piece. The methods and production was, as they are on &&&&&, purely disorienting and cavernous. Blazing through the 14 tracks in the new 25-minute mix can leave one on empty, with Arca scaling all sorts of directions and auras. For the moment when blissful sincerity seems to creep through, around the end, you might forget the cataclysm that lead to that moment.

It's a pure joy and free to download as well.

Download: Larry Gus - The Blue Flowers (Between Blue and Blue); Madlib beats

Mad genius producer Madlib, perhaps more so than any relevant artist today, has enough produced material to last him several lifetimes already. From side-project efforts, to solo work, and co-oped material, the West coast icon seemingly never runs out of material. And the best part of that for fans is that his catalog seems constantly new, even if its stored in archives or lost in DJ sets. In DFA alum Larry Gus' new "The Blue Flowers (Between Blue and Blue)" mix, the producer travels through 54 minutes of Madlib's material, much of which will still be new to most listeners.

See for yourself below.

Run The Jewels video - 36" Chain

Go back to May of last year. Then, El-P debuted the video for "Full Retard," starring himself and his obscene puppet counterpart, Mr. Killums, who went missing by the video's end. A year later, with Run The Jewels in full force, director Tim Saccenti starts to unravel the mystery of his disappearance with the new video for "36" Chain."

The video follows El-P and counterpart Killer Mike searching for answers through a seedy apartment complex, getting answers from Andrew W.K., Amber Tamblyn, Heems, and others through all the violence necessary.

Watch the video below and grab (you gotta) Run The Jewels today for free at Fool's Gold.

Album Stream: Sweet Valley - SV

Wavves frontman Nathan Williams, unbeknownst to at least myself, has a pretty damn talented little brother in Kynan. The brother duo have teamed up before as Sweet Valley, offering up plenty of good albums, which now includes the brand new SV. The effort is comprised of hectic production and next-level energy, and is available to download for free. Its a must-listen, and is also available to stream below.

Stream: FALCONS - Sticky Summer mixtape

Working with Scion Sessions (which delivers some deceptively good stuff) is West coast producer FALCONS, who brought together the brand new "Sticky Summer" mixtape, free for all to download. Potholes has the full tracklist, which includes some brand new original material from FALCONS, and a positively wonderful collection of little-known tracks and remixes. Check it out below.

Stream: VINDATA - Paradigms EP

Los Angeles production collective VINDATA have a brand new mutli-versed EP, Paradigms, free to download. The four track production never settles within one branded note, changing approach with every track on the release. What results is an 18-minute blend of alluring and ever-changing flow of progressions, leaving everyone wanting a little more. Stream/download it below.

Album Stream: Milo - Cavalcade

Flying under the radar this year was the unreal double-release from Milo, Things That Happen At Day/Things That Happen At Night. Both of which are currently available on his Bandcamp, are fusions of fantastic craft and flooding intelligence, amounting to one of 2013's best releases so far. For those unfamiliar, Milo has another new piece to his masterful 2013, Cavalcade.

The new release, however, is free to download courtesy of Hellfyre Club. Pay close attention and the range of samples used will come as a surprise - from America to James Blake - on the art rap opus.

New Holy Ghost! - Teenagers In Heat

Emerging from the brilliant Brooklyn goldmine that is DFA Records is the brand new "Teenagers In Heat" (just in time) from future dance goths Holy Ghost! The track, co-produced by none other than DFA beacon of hope James Murphy, will be featured on the duo's forthcoming Dynamics, which is slated for a September 10 release. Stream and/or download the new, cheery hit below for now.

xxxy - Broken Dream Sequencer/Heart Of Lead

London producer xxxy doesn't just like sweeping what would be forgotten projects under the carpet. Late last night, via his Twitter account, xxxy debuted two steamy synth-fronted tracks "Broken Dream Sequencer" and "Heart Of Lead" which were apparently "corrupt." Because of that, both are also available to download. Check each out below.

Mixtape: CFCF - Belongs, Possessions

Montreal's Michael Silvers, better known as the enigmatic producer CFCF, debuted the wonderful "Camera" several days back from his upcoming Music For Objects EP. While the July 9 release date creeps closer, the meantime can be spent listening to the positively lush and endearing Belongs, Possessions mixtape, courtesy of Dazed Digital. Available to stream and download, the heartwarming instrumental styles are intoxicating and unique, giving a presence of a massive orchestral composition. It's a serious must listen.

Music For Objects will be released July 9 via Paper Bag/Dummy.

CFCF - Camera

"Camera," the new cut from Montreal producer CFCF's upcoming Music For Objects EP, features a swirling wind of saxophone from Francesco de Gallo that endlessly drifts towards lifting ambiance. The EP won't be released until July 9 via Paper Bag/Dummy, but "Camera" will do its best to mend the tide in the mean time.

Stream/download it below.

Stream: Handbook - Rare Ivory EP

The latest release from UK producer Handbook, the Rare Ivory EP, is largely constructed out of piano-laden concepts - in case that wasn't apparent from the title or album cover. The four original instrumentals fill out with plush piano circulating throughout, driven by heavy soul beats in between the lines.

The EP also boasts some feverish remixes from the likes of Astronautica, Mike Gao, Benedek, and Papi, filling out the free download quite nicely. Stream the whole thing below, or head to Handbook's Bandcamp for the download.
