As mentioned, after tons of ridiculous hints/hype/advertisements, Boards of Canada announced that they'd be putting out their first album since 2005, Tomorrow's Harvest, on June 11 via Warp. And now, after projecting a mysterious video in Japan earlier this week, the duo have revealed their first actual song from the album, "Reach For The Dead."

Listen to the new track below...

Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire has been teasing his upcoming mixtape Kismet for a bit now. And while we’ve heard songs like “Noble Drew Ali” and seen his video “Nightfall At The Thames,” there was still no concrete information about if or when the full collection would actually come out. Finally, the project has an official release date and it’s 6/4. The tape includes collaborations with Danny Brown, Flatbush Zombies, Raider Klan member Key-Nyata, and a head-scratching production credit for Curtis Mayfield. It also features this shortie, “Fat Fool,” produced by The Alchemist. No hook, no put-on flair, just eX lyrically bench-pressing 300 and an accompanying video that has him simply being chauffeured through Austin in a rickshaw. Kismet also includes a track called “Chains,” which I have yet to hear, but from what I have been told about the hook, it sounds like proto-”New Slaves,” at least content-wise. Watch the “Fat Fool” video and check out the full Kismet tracklist below.

Red Bull Music Academy, who hosts DFA's 12th Anniversary party this weekend, hosted Giorgio Moroder's 1st-ever live DJ set at Output in Brooklyn the other night. If you missed it (the live event or the stream we posted yesterday), you can listen to the whole thing.

When you're done with that, listen to his collaboration with Daft Punk "Giorgio by Moroder", and then check out the song that didn't make the new Daft Punk album in the USA, but is out in Japan and of course on the internet.

And speaking of Daft Punk collaborators, an encore presentation of "Andrew the Pizza Guy" below...

There’s a moment before Eminem’s earth-shattering cypher at 2011′s B.E.T. Awards where he skewers rappers with rhyme-stuffed lines that confuse free association with gibberish. Both Earl Sweatshirt and Mac Miller utilize this kind of synapse jumping flow, and their careers wouldn’t exist without the brutal brilliance of Marshall Mathers. The stoned

Settle, the debut album from the brotherly British garage-revivalist duo Disclosure, is still a couple of weeks away, but I’m going to tell you right now that it’s one of the best albums of the year. Thanks to the excellent singles “White Noise” and “You & Me,” you’ve probably already heard one side of their sound: The sweetly melodic, R&B-derived slickness that they can conjure so well. But “When A Fire Starts To Burn,” which more or less works as the album’s opener, shows another side: The absolutely vicious riff-happy dance side. Even when they’re making ferocious instrumental tracks, though, Disclosure sound more euphoric and approachable than you’d believe. “When A Fire Starts To Burn” is an absolute jam, and you can hear it below.

From that screen-grab Caveman’s new music video doesn’t look like a total nightmare, but you know the best horror movies always start with some unsuspecting rubes.

Julia Stiles (10 Things I Hate About You), Fran Kranz (Dollhouse), and Michael Cavadias star in a short film set to Caveman’s “In The City” from the band’s self-titled sophomore album. Stiles and Kranz’s trip to the Big Apple takes a creepy turn when the couple checks into small hotel with a bellhop whose skin-crawling fetish will forever make you check behind the curtains in every hotel you ever stay in again. Watch the Lynchian video below, directed by Philip Di Fiore.

The band heads out on the second leg of their U.S. tour after a stop at Sasquatch — those dates below:
