The FADER Internet and FADER Magazine collide in this new remix of Hyperdub band Darkstar, who Scott Wright wrote about recently in his Dollars to Pounds column, and Detroit house wunderkind Kyle Hall, who is a Gen F in our current issue. In fact, Wright wrote about this very Darkstar song, and we wrote about “I <3 Dr. Girlfriend” in the magazine. Close enough to perfect synergy as we can get. Hall’s remix has been streaming on Darkstar’s MySpace for a little bit, but 88 Days has the mpfree. Or you can pay pennies for the single and the remix over at Juno and support them all.

With domestic issues weighing so heavily on every American’s mind these days, it felt appropriate to focus our sixth annual photo issue inward. We started by selecting two cover stories that represent seemingly opposing factions of this country—the values of small town America via Eau Claire, Wisconsin’s Bon Iver and the hard grind of big city life through South Central Los Angeles’ Dam-Funk—and found more common ground between them than most talking heads and politicians would care to know. For the feature photo story, Peter van Agtmael’s plaintive portraits of widespread citizens and Victoria Sambunaris’ landscapes of geological sites along Interstate 80 create a visual dialogue between man and land and will hopefully leave you asking questions rather than giving answers. And because the future prosperity of the US will depend on the dreams of its newest residents as it always has, we focused our fashion story on first generation Americans and new emigres living in New York’s five boroughs. Not to mention our regular selection of Gen F profiles, including Kris Kristofferson, The XX, Neon Indian, Kurt Vile, Kyle Hall and Warpaint, plus interviews with RZA, Janka Nabay, Andrew Weatherall and tons more. So feel free (because it is literally free) to check it all out, and if you make TheFADER.com your homepage you won’t miss our treasure trove of extras and outtakes from above and beyond the issue.

For our annual photo special, we focused our sights on issues in contemporary America through the stunning domestic and landscape photographs of Peter van Agtmael and Victoria Sambunaris. And who better to reflect the state of the States than Bon Iver, who’s attained cult fame worldwide but prefers to live in the sleepy Wisconsin town of Eau Claire, and Dam-Funk, who resides in middle class South Central Los Angeles but whose music inspires funk utopias. Hence the roster of our latest issue podcast, including Family Band, Volcano Choir, Dam-Funk, Neon Indian, Kyle Hall, Warpaint and Kurt Vile, represents all corners of the USA’s urban decay and rural ramshackleness—with the exception of Fuck Buttons, whose new album is so galactic we think they might be ambassadors from another universe. Download the whole shebang below, and don’t forget to permanently blogline us since we’ll soon be dropping the entire issue on you in pdf form, for free—because in the immortal words of George Michael, you’ve got to give what you taaaaake.

Certain friends with long ears to the Motor City streets have been bugging us about 1991-born (lord) Kyle Hall, the youth future of soulful Detroit techno. Check out a bit of “I Love Dr Girlfriend” on his MySpace page for a touch of the two-step love buzz. We’re getting instrumental electro R Kelly vibes. We heard Hall will be in New York for the Sunday Best series at Brooklyn Yard and marked our iCal for July 12th. For a preview of what he’ll be playing, we just checked this Fact magazine mix he made that does not avoid rhythm changes, vibes, R&B and anything with a “I Can’t Get No Sleep” feeling. We were going to say “Eat it Martinez Brothers!” but then we saw that he ups them (and Gang Gang Dance) in his interview. Good to see kids playing nice. Track list is after the jump.
