Andreya Triana – Lost Where I belong (Flying Lotus remix)
After ‘Tea Leaf Dancer’, Miss Triana and Sir FlyLo team up again. The track has a warm chaotic feel due to the typical Flying Lotus spacebeats and filter madness.

Take – Neon Beams
I had never heard of this producer, but apparently he’s doing his thing already for more than 10 years in California. ‘Neon Beams’ is a perfect slice of uplifting space-age funk. For fans of Nosaj Thing and Flying Lotus. Download the track (320kbs) for free here.

Wait What – Suicidal Fantasy (The Notorious B.I.G. vs. the xx)
I know what you’re thinking. “Mash-ups? – Been there done that.” You’re right. And still, this album of Wait What is one of the best things I’ve heard this year. Basically Wait What took the sounds of the XX’s debut album and put Biggie’s verses on top of it. The whole album was made available for free download on March 25th here, the 13 year anniversary of Life After Death’s release.
One of the stand-out tracks is this ‘Suicidial Fantasy’. Not only you hear how deep some of the XX’s basslines go (check the original ‘Fantasy’ here), but you also hear how dark some of Biggie’s lyrics actually were. (Check Biggie’s ‘Suidical Thoughts’ here. Earlier Whizz posted the Lorn remix of the same Biggie song here.)
The stress is buildin’ up, I can’t,
I can’t believe suicide’s on my fuckin’ mind
I want to leave, I swear to God I feel like death is fuckin’ callin’ me
Naw you wouldn’t understand
You see its kinda like the crack did to Pookie, in New Jack
Except when I cross over, there ain’t no comin’ back
Should I die on the train track, like Remo in Beatstreet
People at the funeral frontin’ like they miss me
My baby momma kissed me but she glad I’m gone
She knew me and her sista had somethin’ goin’ on
I reach my peak, I can’t speak,
call my nigga Chic, tell him that my will is weak.
I’m sick of niggas lyin’, I’m sick of bitches hawkin’,
matter of fact, I’m sick of talkin’.Wait What – Suicidal Fantasy (The Notorious B.I.G. vs. the xx) -

La Melodia – Come And Get It
‘Come and get it’ is the newest single of Dutch hiphop-outfit La Melodia, and I’m digging the sleezy bass in this one. Think Ursula Rucker with a Platinum Pied Pipers/Dilla vibe.

DJ Cam – Dieu Reconnaitra Les Siens
Another tune from DJ Morpheus‘s ‘Freezone 2′ compilation. A classic DJ Cam tune, on Yellow Productions (label from Chris The French Kiss, yes, that’s Bob Sinclar). Beautiful laid-back summertune, love it to the bone.
The tune samples Dexter Wansel, Lady Miss Kier from Deee-Lite, Quincy Jones, and more (if you know more samples, leave a message!)

Aaron Jerome – Angel Lady (Floating Points remix)
We at the Worlds Below 100Hz can not get enough of Floating Points and his perfect blend of house and hiphop. His tracks are so well crafted, are so soulful and give us the perfect warmth during these cold winter nights. Here he remixes Angel Lady from Aaron Jerome.
Artist of 2009?

DJ Krush – Only The Strong Survive
Krush and CL Smooth in probably the most known Krush track around. It’s one of the darkest hip-hop track I know of, because the lyrics, CL’s voice and the music oozes a strange combination of intimacy and nightly street life. Spine chilling and all time classic!

Theophilus London – Cold Pillow
I heard this one on Studio Brussels recently, just before going to sleep. R&B / hip-hop, with reverberated beats, smooth lyrics and a slick lead synth makes this a perfect introduction to your nightly dreams!

Wu-Tang enters the dubstep
This track is forthcoming on the new Wu-Tang album “Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol.2: Enter The Dubstep”, where New York hip-hop mingles with London dubstep sounds.
The rhymes are not so grimey, fast or raw as the style of London’s grime MCs but the combination of the typical Wu Tang flow and deep basslines and slow 75bpm beats is great.
The album will be released on November 10, 2009 and is distributed by iHipHop. On Amazon you can listen to snippets of all tracks. I recommend the Scuba version of “Street Corners” (very looking forward to get me a copy)!
