Phinz

To be honest, I don't know a whole lot about the man known as Phinz. From the Land Down Under, the boy makes some "block rockin beats". 'Atari Disco' and 'Text to Speech' are definitely my go to tracks for Phinz. It reminds me of Boys Noize with the robot voices/arpy synths/solid drumwork, but has this horror/spook aspect to it I just can't put my finger on. I think TMS said it the best: "It sounds like Boys Noize's 'Gax' met one of the Valerie collective and had a child together." Solid.

You can download most of his tracks off soundcloud. Had to pick up a few remixes I didn't have myself..

12's

Why are The Twelves so good? Brazil. Funky. Disco. Beats. Yes, that pretty much sums it up. Oh and the fact that everything they release is gold. Except for that 'Noah and the Whale' song... I never did like that very much. Regardless, every mix they drop is better than the last. Their latest take on N. Ireland's Two Door Cinema Club is no different.

And a few older gems...

And to save me from posting every song of their's, here's the latest mixtape. Guaranteed to make any party get down.

Bonus Round:

Catch the Brazilian duo w/ Grum at the V-Lounge on May 8th... But don't worry, that'll have a post of it's own very soon.

Treasure Fingers

Well I guess it's a good thing I'm not going to Coachella this year. Ah man, that sentence just sounds so wrong. But not entirely. Treasure Fingers will be doing Control this Friday along with Nick Catchdubs and Kill the Noise.

Word has it, Treasure Fingers is gonna be dropping a compilation LP Life of the Afterparty on Fools Gold sometime in the near future. So check out his new track and get your disco on. See you Friday.

Bonobo

Well it was a pretty solid weekend of music/partying and to kind of get me mellowed I've been listening to a lot of Bonobo. I had never heard of him until a couple weeks ago driving home one night listening to Garth Trinidad's show on KCRW. Awesome show from 8-10pm every night (I think), but I digress. Bonobo has that amazing downtempo sound, very chilled but beat driven. He just released a new album called Black Sands. I haven't listened to his previous releases, but if they're anything like this one. Wow. Good stuff start to finish.

Bonobo 'Black Sands' Album Mini Mix by Ninja Tune

After a little bit of research, it appears the dude Bonobo will be playing a gig at the El Rey this month (April 22nd). Certainly check him out and pick up an LP, mp3, or CD over at Ninja Tune.

Jacques Renault

I should have put this up a while ago, but it sort of got lost in the mix of my hundreds of weekly/daily downloads. Actually it didn't. I listen to this mix every chance I can, I just never got around to putting it up here. Pure disco start to finish.

If you dig it, show Jacques some love and buy a record or two at Juno or Flexx.

Cheers.
