Dizzee Rascal - That's Not My Name
(from Mixtape Maestro) More high camp then Dirtee Stank. Echoes of Cameo's Word Up and Wino's Rehab jostle for space on Dizzee's version of the Ting Ting's hit.
Killer Mike - Bang!
(from Corporate Bloggin) Running buddy of Atlanta, Georgia's OutKast and the single worst thing on any of the dextrous duo's records. Thankfully, Mike's angry thug-rap makes a lot more sense solo.
Boy Crisis - Amazing Baby
(from Good Weather for Air Strikes) Best mates of New York "heads" MGMT and it shows; the tunes come on strong, while their clothes come off fast.
Beck - Chemtrails
(from Stereo Jealously) A paranoid folk protest-jam from recent album Modern Guilt. Chemtrails is Beck's best work since 2002's Sea Change (despite what some critics say) and yet more proof that Dangermouse is less producer, more career saviour.
Ratatat - Mirando
(from Faronheit) A hipster's nirvana. Ratatat blend Congotronics-inspired clicks and whizzes with a florid synth line nicked straight off Daft Punk's Digital Love. Cool, yeah?
