Pretty demented (but also pretty damn hype) moment from RCRDLBL.

I posted about 'Cavern', the song the Sugar Hill Gang ripped off for 'White Lines'.

Now here's Jon Brion (co-producer for Kanye West and composer of such ace soundtracks as Punch Drunk Love and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) doing the song with a stand-up bass dude...

... yeah, actually that was a while back, but there's no Public Enemy song that starts "I wrote a letter to the Australasian Performing Rights Association the other day".

trimsound offer up various free releases, including So Inagawa's EP 'Bake'.

Bouncy tech-house track with dirty, descending bass, funny scratches and tiny snips of vocals.

The label that released this, Tokyo Dawn Records, shut up shop a few years back, although they are officially back now. Anyway, luckily the P2P EP is still available via a massive repository of free stuff, Scene.org. I still like the EP a lot, which is a good sign given I downloaded it 5 years ago (OK, probably 4 is closer, but, hey, it's 2009 now!).
