this mix really made me smile the whole time i was making it. mainly because some of the bands, not all of them mind you, are overdosed with pop flavoring therefore making them guilty pleasures that i wonder why i even bother in the first place. but what can i say? i can't help but tease myself & i keep going back for more. kind of funny since i feel the same exact way about the person who inspired this mix in the first place. so enjoy!

Teebs - Why Like This?

Teebs - Felt Tip

beautiful? sexy? easy as 123?

why yes it is. CA resident & Flying Lotus protégé, Teebs, released a silky smooth debut album, ardour, this past October on the brainfeeder label which is home to the likes of daedelus, gaslamp killer & samiyam. this is another artist that just missed the mark on my winter mix but no doubt it's pretty sexy stuff so check it.

shake it don't break it.

The Stepkids - Legend In My Own Mind

being cut from my recent winter mix, i just had to post up my current obsession, connecticut's own the stepkids. recently signed to stones throw with a debut album out in april 2011, they're an amazing musical blend of psychedelic soul. basically if otis redding decided to go on a peyote binge out in arizona....this is probably what it would sound like.

london calling.

Fiction - Zebra Crossing

with the year coming to end this track (and video), from london quartet fiction, are still one of my favorites to be released this year. from their 7" debut 'curiousity' they sound like a heavy heap of talking heads/early clash mixed with shitdisco.

now here's to hoping they blow up in 2011 with an actual debut album......
