Mix of the Moment: Objekt | Leisure System Radio Mix
Mystery producer of the moment TJ Hertz, aka Objekt, brings us a promo mix in advance of his scheduled performance for Leisure System at Berghain on September 16 (and by the way, that lineup looks ridiculous). In keeping with the vagueness of his persona, he states at the very beginning of the recording, “Here’s some music I won’t be playing,” and for what you can expect not to hear, it’s definitely quite the gamut of listening, ranging from Jaco Pastorius to Emptyset to Rhythm & Sound and even some Radiohead. You can listen to the mix in its entirety below, or you can download it here.

Mix of the Moment: Portishead - ‘ATP I’ll Be Your Mirror London Mixtape’
Coming July 23 and 24, the folks with All Tomorrow’s Parties will be throwing the London edition of their new sister festival, I’ll Be Your Mirror, featuring curators/ headliners Portishead. As a preview, the act has put together a mixtape, featuring cuts from the majority of their outstanding lineup, which includes Doom, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Beach House, Liars, PJ Harvey, and Caribou. The overall tone is to some extent a bit brooding, but makes for a great overall listening experience, especially if you’re a fan of heavily-contrasted sound and a good challenge for your ears. You can download and listen to the mix below, and be sure to check out the track listing—there’s quite a lot of something new in there. Meanwhile, for tickets and more info about this event, go here. And of course, if you’re stateside, ATP will also be bringing I’ll Be Your Mirror to Asbury Park, New Jersey from September 30 to October 2, and will feature a similar lineup, Portishead included.

Not sure how long this baby will stay up, but if you don’t watch television and are dying to see the entirety of the Beastie Boys’ new video, there it is.
By the way, have I mentioned just how much I love it when people turn me on to new, amazing music?
I don’t even know how to pass on the thanks except to say that Cam (who ought to have a music blog of his own, dammit) from Groundscore delivers—and totally made my day.
