i see some good suggestions up in here! glad i caught this thread.
newman put it on lock for indie rock (as to be expected). on that note heres my personal track of the week:
http://www.zshare.net/download/young_love-discotech__weird_science_radio-mp3.html
also don’t forget to check out Peter Bjorn and John - Young Folks. That’s another indie jam I’ll never get sick of. “Junior Boys - In The Morning” is tight too, the album is good too.
rap-wise, as usual there ain’t shit. being a DJ i always feel like everything people like is old to me, so i probably am a bad person to ask even though i’m like the most qualified…ha. the recent strain of Andre 3000 remixes have been ridiculous. i know you hated on outkast above, but they are the most creative group in hiphop period. don’t get the singles, get the albums. they’re the only group that can make a fucking decent album. regardless as much as i love club music, it’s hard for me to suggest it to other people since i feel like i’m the only one that listens to it 24/7!
Rich Boy - Throw some Ds remix with Andre 3000 and Jim Jones
Lloyd - You (original with lil wayne and the remix with andre 3000 and nas, both are tight)
Walk it out remix with Andre 3000 and Jim Jones
go getta - jeezy with r kelly (fire! i like jeezy though.)
there’s a King Kong remix floating around, nothing special though.
clipse record was good. hi-teks album was good. j dilla = slept on, another gem that came out last year (rip).
you guys pretty much covered it with top40 hiphop though, ill try to tell you more shit that isn’t as accessible.
for dance music, what’s blowing up right now is switch, and eric prydz has another track that’s huge overseas. check out:
switch - a bit patchy
switch - p diddy tell me remix (get it at my blog, www.teamhaggard.com/dstar )
eric prydz - a proper education (it’s a pink floyd remix )
anything by daft punk if you slept hard all your life
simian mobile disco - hustler
justice vs simian - we are your friends (never be alone) <-- shit is huge!
everyone likes “justice” too, but that shit is too much for me. i would bet newman would like it, a lot of people describe it was digital hardcore. electro is coming hard in 2007 for the electronic scene.
honestly though i listen to a lot of carribean shit right now…lol.
