It’s as much a summertime celebration as it is a competition to see who has the biggest truck with the loudest speakers. Most of what gets played is, of course, West Indian music, but the city’s summer bombast shouldn’t be exclusive to soca, calypso and reggae. Sometimes you just want to hear an acoustic guitar played fulled blast out of an 18-wheeler. We’ve rounded up our favorite jams from our Summer Music Issue and prepared a proper soundtrack for your big truck or beachside iPod speakers. Six years into his career, Soulja Boy is still welcome at our barbecue, and so are FADER #74 stars Vybz Kartel, Woods, DJ Harvey, Jhene Aiko, Clams Casino, Pure X, Grimes, Little Dragon, Fat Trel and Shabazz Palaces.

We’ve been a fan of MNDR’s hyper energy for a long time and have long loved the releases on Akwaaba Music, so to pair two exclusive tracks from the realest dance music makers from New York and Africa, respectively, together on one 7-inch is a pretty exciting and special thing. We’ve also got some wild Egyptian-inspired artwork by Keren Richter on the cover. You can download both tracks for free below. And if you want a copy of the vinyl, leave a comment below with your real email address so we can contact you. We’ll ship them out until we run out of the limited supply. Please do not rehost files.

He makes gauzy, noisy songs that roll through town like a thick, eerie fog. Tom lives around the corner from me in north London. His debut 7-inch Weird You is out now on No Pain In Pop. I spoke to him about legal wrangles, the genius of Mark E Smith, and Ipswich Town FC AKA Roy Keane’s blue and white army AKA the finest football team the world has ever seen. Download: Deep Sht, “Sidetripping” On the cassette version of your Weird You EP there is a cover of The Fall’s “The Container Drivers.” Have you read Mark E Smith’s autobiography? He’s amazing. Yeah, he’s a really fucking funny guy, very tongue in cheek and very surreal. I always find myself laughing when listening to a new Fall record. I met him once, outside a pub in Croydon. I told him I was an admirer of his work, he laughed and said “cheers” in a very sympathetic voice. I read on your blog that Deep Sht is now a solo operation. Did you sack the band in tribute to Mark E Smith? Well, Deep Sht has always been a solo thing, recording-wise. I played a few shows with my friends Richard and Jack as a kind of power chord heavy three-piece rock band, but that was getting a bit boring. They’ve since fallen out and have embroiled themselves in a bitter legal feud, so to preserve their sanity we stopped playing live. I’ve done one solo show out, and I’m going to do one more at my house next week, then try to put a really weird and intense live band together next year. This EP was recorded in your bedroom. Ideally, where would you record the next one? I think I’d like to record it within the bomb bays of an airborne B-52 bomber, perhaps whilst the exhumed carcass of Screaming Lord Sutch is served from a nearby rotisserie. Maybe near a volcano. That’s a level of cosmic heaviness I’d like to achieve. Either there, or at my friend Tyler from Twin Lion‘s house. The vinyl release of Weird You is coming out on No Pain In Pop. They just one a Best UK Blog award. What makes them so awesome? I think their appetite for finding new stuff is impressive, and their Peel-esque disregard for generic constraints is awesome. They were also nice enough to put my record out. However, one of them is sitting next to me at the moment so I don’t want to go on about how great they are or I shall be reminded of this on a regular basis. I first got into you because of your song “Zondervan.” I grew up in Ipswich and Romeo Zondervan [ex- Ipswich Town FC footballer] was a hero, mainly because of the awesome name. Did you grow up in Ipswich too? Ha, I wanted to call an old band of mine Zondervan, but apparently it sounded too “wizardy,” whatever the fuck that means. It;d make a great name for a really heavy stoner band. People in that band would have to have great beards and wear blue shirts with “Fisons” written on the front. Actually I’m from a little town half an hour down the road from Ipswich called Bury St Edmunds. It has a sugar beet factory, a brewery, a ruined abbey, and is mainly inhabited by drunken old people. Until a few years ago, you could walk around the center of town and fairly suppose that it was still 1955, but recently they’ve redeveloped everything and have made a bit of a hash of it. I live in London now; there is more stuff to do. When I was in my early teens, me and some friends broke into Portman Road [ITFC's ground] and ran around on the pitch pretending to play football. Then we tried to climb a floodlight and got really scared. We were… IN DEEP SHIT. What’s the deepest shit you’ve ever been in? That’s cool you got on the pitch. Er, I’m not sure. The deepest shit I’ve been in today is when I realised I’ve spent the last three days playing PES and haven’t done any of the things I’ve been supposed to do for today. Which really, as shit goes, isn’t all that deep. When people ask what you do, it must be nice to say, “I’m in Deep Sht.” Tom Watson has that pleasure.

Sandwiched in there with the likes of fancy hotelier Andre Balazs and Justin Timberlake was a very casual cool black and white photo of the father and son duo. Not fair to have two generations killing it at once—though the yin to sweet genes yang is everyone always reminds you where you came from (sorry). A quick google showed us the younger Ruscha was a music dude, but with labels that spells “exist” with an added k and “chemical” with a k instead of a c (dude really likes the letter k apparently), so we passed on further investigation. That is, until we saw him on friend to all, Cali Dewitt’s blog, looking still best dressed, but less concerned with the fall of his hem than with the spiritual trance those racks of electronics were clearly inducing—check the neck vein. We looked up Secret Circuit, his new project, excited by the lack of extraneous consonants, and found it to be thoroughly cosmic. Not sure yet if “Roll” or “Spliff Builder” is a more apt song title, but that may be a drug of choice decision for you to make. Dude has got a thing for vintage sounds, krautrock keyboards and hippie handdrums, like he’s writing the soundtrack to an imaginary European ’70s version of Weeds. Until we get our hands on a grip of these MP3s, we’ll settle for this mix he made for Lovefingers, rightfully entitled “Deepspace Motherfuckers.” No tracklist, but if you like synthesizers and plucky bass and don’t like vocals, Ruscha is your righteous shaman.

And on that album, when he announced that his president was black, well, it was still a white man in the White House. Both of his pronouncements, though, were soon proven correct, as everyone lost their jobs, homes and confidence. Except for Obama, prediction number two, who got a sweet new job as our black president. Jeezy, maybe feeling touches of the recession himself (maybe his auntie snagged the yams he stashed) then got himself a deal as a Belvedere spokesman on the back of his incredibly overlooked album cut “Circulate” (itself based on Billy Paul’s ’70s recession anthem “Let the Dollar Circulate”), which probably made him more cash than album sales did. Alcohol is one thing that’s never effected by a downturn. Now, properly flush, Jeezy is trying to either coach you into getting as paid as he is, or trying to frighten you away from taking what little is left in the pot before he can horde it on his new track with Wayne, “Scared Money.” Wayne just wants you to know he’s not scared at all, like Bone Crusher. These two complement each other just fine. Download: Young Jeezy f. Lil Wayne, “Scared Money” When Jeezy put out The Recession it was before the giant global recession.

Not only does it provide a great vehicle for Beenie Man sounding like the old Beenie and Assassin sounding like the new Buju, but the beat itself has a bigness that to paraphrase Mr. Glazer, “actually sounds like fucking dancehall.” Which is to say it sounds like Giorgio Moroder improvising on synth live at Passa Passa while lit on Red Bull and Guinness.

Except Nite Jewel wants to know how she’s gonna ditch the “creeps” at whatever discotheque/neon-lit street of Hollywood where she’s lamping, and Dam-Funk is as usual transmitting his melodies from Mars via satellite. And even though the song’s about feeling uncomfortable and sorta despondent, this is some straight lover’s funk. Also for some random reason it makes us want to go home and watch After Hours again. Maybe because it’s just as off-kilter and mysterious. If these guys drop a whole album as an extension of their XLR8R video, we predict a baby boom nine months later.

For our newest issue, we did and loved his very German way of speaking quick and forced, coupled with a very universally grandparent-ish making sure that everyone was fine (everyone being us). Though many of his musical ideas are deep down the rabbit hole of his own mind, and he’s not shy about lengthily narrating the historical reasons behind his obsession with cosmic sounding bells, he’ll stop to make sure he’s not lost you. Then he’ll laugh at himself for sounding too silly. But, truth is, his level mix of seriousness and mockery of it is a welcome change from either extreme. As is his music, always bubbling with ringing, as is “The Splendour,” from his upcoming Black Noise, his first album for Rough Trade, marking their return to releasing explorativie electronic music. Pantha’s is a thoroughly unique take on techno, never settling into a repetitive rhythm though never straying into ambient, improvised territory that a brief listen might lead you to believe. Hannukah begins this Friday at sundown and Pantha Du Prince is appropriately celebratory music for a holiday known as the Festival of Lights—spacious, familial, enveloping. If you have to listen to something for eight days of presents, you’d be hard pressed to find something brighter.

Nah we don’t really make it a habit of saying shit like glow-fi but this cover of the Blue Oyster Cult’s classic “Don’t Fear the Reaper” is all about gossamer, luminescent synths and the inherent listless hope of the whole Shakespearean double suicide thing going down in the lyrics.

Underground Resistance “Transition Accapella” (UR) Notes on the mix: There is no way in hell that I was about to make a mix featuring all of the good music that came out in 2009. The mix above is mostly just 15 awesome tracks I had nearby as I was writing this column—by no means does track order indicate any ranking system (I think that shit is dumb). 2009 One of the happiest things to see was the rise of Boogie. Pioneered, in a way, by the massive output and positive vibes emanating from Dam Funk, boogie rose up in ’09. Lots of releases this year had chunky vintage drums, off-kilter grooves and fat synths that are indebted to the shmillions of forgotten one-off 12-inches from the 80s that are floating from used bins and flea markets around America into boutique online shops and popular consciousness. Even the UK’s “wonky” scene and its growing fringes seemed indebted to the sound as a brief respite from (or on top of) bass science. People’s Potential Unlimited, perhaps my favorite label in the world, unearthed countless cuts from forgotten boogie acts like Midnight Express’ Robbie M, J.P.s Force, 4 Reel, and the amazing “All Party People” in my mix above, a completely warped and blissfully cockeyed go-go groove by Mix-O-Rap. And speaking of that go-go, i had to include a track on the mix from maybe my favorite new band, AAO, part of the “young band” (at least, that’s what the guys at the flea market tell me: “I don’t listen to the young bands, but those CDs are six for $20″) or “slow bounce” go-go scene in DC and MD, who make the most intense music I’ve heard in a long time. I think a lot of it sounds like the On-U-Sound System mixing Sleep into today’s rap and R&B radio, but I doubt the bands come at it from that perspective. Either way, you can definitely dance to this greatness, and bands like XIB, TOB, Reaction and AAO are killing it right now! If only I could find their music on YouTube… XIB, “Booty Bounce” TOB, “Do The Shuffle” ACENONLYACE (7 months ago) I SWEAR TO GOD The return to “deepness” in house music this year was awesome, or rather those who did it well did it SO WELL. I personally am way down with hearing a lot more 707s and DX7 pads, as opposed to the mountain of spare laptop tracks of previous years. It does make sense in an “every ten years” kind of way that European DJs (representing the bulk of DJs) would look to Chicago and Detroit sounds in ’09 much like they did in ’89, and that genres from hip-hop to dubstep would snag vibes from them as well.

Sean Teezy, along with Dash and Travis Porter, and undoubtedly Waka Flocka Flame, are mounting a calculated attack on club security with records like “To Da Max.” A new generation of ATL rappers are carrying a sub-genre altogether smothered by last summer’s unbeatable wave of swag music. Well, that and Jeezy finally getting his vacation. But even as we already talked about how popular Sean Teezy is amongst his friends, we finally know why. He lets them all rap on his songs.

But just when we were starting to lose hope, along comes Trai’D with his Young Thunda Cat mixtape. Now tapes like these are a gift and a curse these days because while Young Thunda Cat is pretty much the album we’ve been waiting on since his Gen F in F58, who knows if his label is even paying close enough attention to kick themselves in the ass for sitting on it for so long.

The conversation drifts from Milton Nascimiento (Zeus in El Guincho’s Pantheon) to calypso king Mighty Sparrow, and he says, “When I started producing, I was obsessed with exotica records.” It’s odd to meet a musician so energetic about other people’s music. Some can’t do it even when you specifically ask them too, but El Guincho’s a guy who big ups Martin Denny’s use of panning right before sharing this thoughts on Trinidadian harmonies, a guy who remembers where the cymbals were placed on that Bowie record. El Guincho and Prins Thomas both have similarly varied tastes and keen ears, and the ability to reap a cross-section of sounds and house them under one rainbow. For his remix of “Antillas,” now available on 12-inch, Prins Thomas does not scamper far from the source, simply chopping and extending much of El Guincho’s vocal and removing and then teasing the original’s main melody, abstracting many of the song’s ancestral samples. It’s a cut up job, but more a sidestep and extension than a progression or regression.

Though “Forgotten” is an instrumental, the lineage is clear—though maybe if we replace “italo” with “Polish” things get clearer. The EP “Forgotten” is from is the first record on Fright, a sublabel of electronic Euro stalwarts Kompakt. This is what happens to the younger brother who got more into John Carpenter than Brian Eno.

But today brings the official first listen to the fruits of their labor with producer Eli Janney in the form of new single “Answer To Yourself.” They apparently thought our interview was awkward, so we’ll be “Talking To Ourselves” for the rest of the day. Great song though, dudes.

In addition to their own music, as well as the extremely young Fungi Girls‘ way better than we expected new EP, the duo has put Transparent, and by proxy us, onto The Uptown Bums‘ power punky “First Time Caller,” as well as Dallas’ True Widow, who grabbed those lackadaisical grunge breakdowns we didn’t even realize we missed, and drew them out in an epic swell of apathy and stoned whateverness (see also: this). Basically, both bands couldn’t be more different, but did you know that Texas is pretty big? There’s probably a lot going on there.

Due to flight schedules and the fact that they have but one song, however, they only played for like eight minutes. What an eight minutes though! Sheila E cover HELLOOOO. The one song that is theirs, it turns out, is a special ditty cooked up for Gucci’s Icon-Temporary pop-up stores as they unveil the boat-sneaker designed by Mr Ronson himself, so prepare to feel like spending a lot of money as you listen to this. Ronson has that kind of mind power.

Take this song by Tinny, which was created for Cadbury to let the world know that their chocolate comes from fair trade cocoa plants throughout Ghana. The original track (video above), made by UK producer Paul Epworth aka Phones and voiced by Ghanaian hiplifer Tinny, is pretty decent, but South Rakkas really takes it where it needs to be, specifically a little less commercial and more for the clubs. When we were in Ghana a couple years ago for our own hiplife story, Tinny was definitely one of the more prevalent artists being played in clubs and on radio, so it’s at least a good look that the corporate heads were down for an artist with some actual credibility, and to be totally honest, is probably a good look for a Ghanaian music industry sorely in need of money and exposure.

If we had a dollar for every time we had to apologetically explain to someone we were breaking up with them because we couldn’t listen their band, we would be gazillionaires. Granted, it mostly happened in high school when we were less refined about our dating steez, but truthfully, it still pains us to think about it. You deserve our penance. Let this be an official apology to Don, Steve, Rufus, Terrence, LeDoug, Augie, Dean, Roger, Cody, Falcon, Winston, Algernod, Waka Flocka, Zach and Christian Slater for dumping you for your music.
