Return to the 36 Chambers.

Dug out from RZA‘s dusty vaults, ‘Execution In Autumn’ is exactly the kind of track Wu-Tang Clan fans have been waiting for, showing the hydra-like rap act firing on all cylinders over a typically crumbly Frank Dukes-produced beat. It might not be the new material we were all hoping for, but for now we’re content with this and it’s a timely reminder that when Wu-Tang are on form, they’re still just untouchable.

Let’s hope this is part of a long,

Sunday Best’s Balearic boy Tythe cools down on this exclusive remix from Throwing Snow. 

Essex producer Tythe has dropped remixes for the likes of David Lynch and Crystal Fighters, and recently started making his own way in the world with a handful of lazy, sunkissed productions; a debut album, And Also With You, will hit shelves in July.  The ‘Careless Woman’ single was one of the swarm of releases let loose on the world on Record Store Day. A full vinyl release followed, and Sunday Best have now given the single its maiden digital outing.

The single boasts remixes from tactual beat kid Lapalux and A Future Without boss Throwing Snow, the latter of which we’re exclusively streaming below. Those familiar with Throwing Snow’s opulent garage and house productions won’t be disappointed – what with all the delicate detailing, his ‘Careless Woman’ manages to sound brawny and vulnerable at the same time.

‘Careless Woman’ hits the web on May 19.

Abeano favourite and Filipino swagmaster Eyedress just uploaded a new downloadable track called No Competition and it’s awesome. Fantastically glitchy and thudding, but also beguilingly pretty:

For months now, the great gauzy-synthpop label Italians Do It Better has been promising a new label compilation called After Dark 2, the sequel to 2007′s After Dark. This is the rare case where a label compilation is a thing worth anticipating, since, acts on Italians Do It Better tend to share not just an aesthetic (slowly unfolding streaked-windshield nighttime Italo-disco) but an actual production visionary, Johnny Jewel. And today, the compilation — which features new music from Chromatics, Glass Candy, Mirage, Symmetry, Desire, and others — is out; you can cop it at iTunes. Check the tracklist below.
