Digitalite

In this section I post my occasional snippets of insight on outbound links that are necessary material in your cultural well-being. Josdigital in short bursts, if you will.

Kavinsky – “Nightcall”

I’ve talked about the Testarossa driving French producer before, but this Daft Punk co-production lights up like fire.

cLOUDDEAD – Dead Dogs Two (Boards Of Canada Remix)

Part nostalgia, part sentiment, this track pushes my button. Even though clouddead was pronounced dead a long time ago and my love for BoC (which I refuse to believe dead) never settles, I miss great eclectic hiphop.

jj – “Let Go”

Blunts, blood, troubled minds and lots of style. I’m in.

Eluvium – The Motion Makes Me Last

Really brilliant track and suiting visuals. Instant feel good and painfully hypnotic.

Efterklang – “Modern Drift”

Beautiful inspiring spring filled video and song from a promising new 4AD sign. (via Grizzly Bear)

Massive Attack – “Splitting the Atom”

Love the touch of film grain combined with black chrome. The evolution towards the end is amazing. P4k calls it monstrous shit, which it definitely is.

Broken Bells – “The High Road”

Lovely video for the Danger Mouse/James Mercer combo project out in March.

Caribou – “Odessa”

Don’t know what to expect from Dan Snaith’s forthcoming Swim after blissful Andorra, a personal favorite and this shifting jumpy joyous single. (via)

xx – “VCR”

I couldn’t picture a better video. Simple video, simple song, minimal theme, all is good.

jj – “My Way”

We know jj covered Weezy before on 2009 favorite jj n°2, but this vocal sample makes it another delicious summery feel-good track, aka just the way we like it.

Animal Collective – “Brothersport”

This is the song that got me into the psychedelic AnCo repertoire, and the video is nothing but. Quite a head trip. Don’t do drugs kids, just watch this.

The Xx – Islands (Nosaj Thing Remix)

I’ve already declared Nosaj Thing a kid to look out for. Now listen to this impeccable remix, along with a Charlotte Gainsbourg/Beck remix.

Jónsi – “boy lilikoi”

Jónsi of Sigur Rós goes english on a marvelous first track for a tba LP. Can’t wait.

We Make It Good Mix Series Vol. 11: Salem

Salem delivers another collage of hard, trippy ‘n dark progression. I’m down. Remember.

Generation Kill

If you ever get the chance to pick up this exhilarating drama/action show, please do. I’m struck with awe (makingof).
