French/Argentinean producer Douster tweaks the latest single track “Strange Touch” from prolific dance music maestros Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team into what he calls a “weird house remix” which basically transforms the spaced out sounds of the original into more swagged out and tribal vibes.

Rinse FM host Braiden may not have a ton of productions to his name thus far, but as a DJ, his work is in a category all its own. Well, sort of. You're actually pretty likely to hear his name floated about the Night Slugs and Blunted Robots camps of UK youngsters taking a fresh, bass-centric approach to house and techno, but his skills as a mixer are indeed top-notch.

As we morn the loss of legendary diva Donna Summer, it's hard to firmly grasp the importance she had on not just mainstream disco, but Italo-disco via her collaborations with Giorgio Moroder. The reverberations of that pair can be felt today more than ever as Italo and nu-disco permeate nearly every crevice of underground dance music. Case in point, today's Bomb Alert, "Space Dust," by Pulp Disco & The Outcast.

Uh oh! Tune from Dre Skull! Go grab the “Loudspeaker Riddim EP” now!

Nylon Magazine just posted this exclusive premiere of the latest from Encore! Session’s concert series (made in collaboration with Absolut and produced by Forward. This video was shot at Le Baron Chinatown and features Swedish group Little Dragon performing two unreleased, never heard before songs: “Sunshine” (part of the bands upcoming collaboration with Absolut) & “Here Comes The Rain Again” (cover of Eurythmics).

Geneva's Philippe Quenum (better known simply as Quenum) clearly does not understand the concept of taking a break. The man’s career as a DJ and producer reaches all the way back to—no joke—the early '80s, and has since seen him release over 60 records and appear on over 20 compilations, meanwhile co-founding the powerhouse imprint Cadenza. Earlier this month, Quenum added to his esteemed discography with a glistening, emotive four-track EP (Another Day) for Serialism Records and has plans to drop a collaborative single with fellow Swiss producer Dachshund via Rebellion on June 25th. Suffice it to say, Quenum definitely knows what he’s doing, and when he’s willing to share such useful bits of knowledge, as he does in this edition of Weekend Weapons, we advise you take notes.

OFWGKTA-stjärnan bjuder på en nyskriven låt i en traditionell hemmavideo.

Hyllade Frank Ocean har en lång festivalsommar att se fram emot, bland annat dyker han upp i Sverige under Way Out West i augusti. Just nu verkar han dock ha tagit sin tillflykt till sovrummet och keyboarden. I går dök ett nytt klipp med sprillans nya låten ”Summer Remains” upp på www. Vad tycker du?

Call me an idiot (go on, you're allowed), but it wasn't until hearing this track that I finally realized that dBridge, producer of pillowy downtempo drum & bass like "Love Hotel," and heartbreaking weepies like "Seems Like," is actually a gifted vocalist as well. Even after nonstop rinsing of "So Lonely"—one of my favorite tunes of last year—it didn't twig that the very familiar reedy voice from that and other tracks—like Martyn's "These Words" and his own "Inner Disbelief"—all stemmed from the same source. Thanks to dBridge's Autonomic alum Jon Convex, this week I've not only learned something that I really ought to have realized some time ago, I've also gotten a new taste of the long-lost Autonomic balancing act of hard and soft.

Efter Little Gang, nu är Rebekka Karijord tillbaka med eget!

I januari såg vi henne tillsammans med flera andra kända namn i en Musik Med här på PSL, men nu står Rebekka Karijord på egna ben. Efter att ha jobbat som skådespelerska och komponerat musik för teaterföreställningar satsar hon nu helhjärtat på musik under eget namn. 2009 släppte hon sin första soloskiva och i september kommer uppföljaren ”We Become Ourselves (part one)”.

Första singeln ut är ”Use My Body While It’s Still Young” och videon har premiär här och nu! I den ackompanjeras Rebekka av 75-åriga före detta Cullbergdansaren Siv Ander.

- Jag önskade mig en ljudbild för denna skivan som var nästan hedonistisk och religiös på samma gång. En hyllning till heligheten i sexualiteten och naturen, och inte minst i kärleken. Jag ville skriva en våldsam, romantiskt, livsbejakande skiva som samtidigt innehöll den melankoli och sårbarhet jag aldrig kommer ifrån i mitt skapande, säger Rebekka om skivan.

Everyone loves a Google doodle, but this one released today on Google Japan is pretty hard to top—especially for gear nerds like ourselves. Today's doodle is a fully functional Minimoog replete with a Record function, so you can keep the silly noodling you're about to do forever.
