Primary 1 & Riton, “Radiates (Joker RMX)” MP3

Having watched Joker completely level an NYC rave a few weeks ago by DJing his own genius tracks almost exclusively, we are quite certain this dude, at 20, is a musical prodigy. He’s like the Berklee College of Music (early entrance) of dubstep producers. Or sorry, not dubstep, purple. Or whatever. It’s all sub-bass to us, call it what you want, we’ll love it no matter its name. Primary 1 & Riton make sort of weird music when they collaborate (that dude’s voice is confusing/maybe it’s just a Brit thing?) but thus far all remixes of their work have been exceptional, and of course Joker’s is ridonkulous, melodic, funky, heavy, intricate, graceful and legitimately dubwise, qualities which set him apart from most of his peers. For some reason Dam-Funk keeps coming to mind. We need them to collaborate immediately. Actually we’re gonna email them about that right now. This song is blowing our brainpans.

Primary 1, “Foaming” MP3 (+ Weird Tapes RMX)
Primary 1 already had us at “Who’s There”, this past summer’s 3AM weed theme, as reimagined by the bol L-Vis 1990. But how didn’t we know that he made such dreamy pop jangles, almost like Phoenix’s stoned younger bro? The demo version of “Foaming” makes us want to fly a kite in the park and lie on a blanket with our lover in some JAZZ SWEATERS. It drops in limited red vinyl on November 2 on Erol Alkan’s PHANTASY records, so all you bearded dudes better cue the site up in your bloglines and get your trigger fingers psyched for clicking. The remix is a total spa jam, ultimate relaxant, with Weird Tapes sampling an erhu then sliding into mellow rave mode before pulling a total Dam-Funk three minutes in. Hey man, it’s a long song.

Riton and Primary 1, “Who’s There (L-Vis 1990 RMX)” MP3
This man L-Vis 1990 has some kind of archive of super weird, can’t-place-them, creepy/isolated synth tweakers. We tried to run on the treadmill to his Fabric Live Promo Mix and ended up having an acid flashback instead. Naturally, we’re totally obsessed with him for what his “dubblestep” remixes and crazy united grooves do to us, and we discovered via ambitious (/stalkery?) emailing that he’s working on more stuff for impeccable French selectahs Sound Pelligrino and maybe even a Passion Pit remix. For his “Who’s There” remix he cut out all the cheeky untenable elements of the original (that one googly-eyed synth, the dogged 4/4, Primary 1’s rapping) and made it much bendier, even creepier and daresay funkier. This dude is a magician on the racks, man.
