So good to hear Junior Boys again. This is from their forthcoming album, “It’s All True”. This track is sure
to make my “best of 2011” list. Also looks like the UK pavillion at the 2010 EXPO in Shanghai was used as the album cover art:
Hans Zimmer (ft.The Reverb Junkie) – Angelica [Part of the Plan] (Odd Year Edit)
If you like Gotan Project or the Cafe Del Mar series of chillout music with International flavor, then this track will be a win for you. The track makes use of stems from the soundtrack written and produced by Hans Zimmer from the movie: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Also features Rodrigo y Gabriela on acoustic guitars. With this mix, The Reverb Junkie made an incredible arrangement and went one step further by writing her song on-top of it. From which I took the track and added all the percussive elements, hence the “Odd Year Edit” on the track name.

Bibio – Take Off Your Shirt
This caught me off guard since I think of Bibio as more of a front runner in the folktronica scene but this is a total rock jam which is begging for RAC remix. Think Phoenix-esque type indie rock. This track is taken from his most recent album, “Mind Boken”. Another stand out track for me on the album is “K is for Kelson”. Has this Jackson 5 meets Vampire Weekend vibe that is sticky sweet.
