Money by Re-Up Gang (from the Fader) Ahead of the hotly anticipated Re-Up Gang album, allegedly released at some point this year, Pusha T's Virginia Beach rap collective drop the Money MP3.
Celeste by Xeno and Oaklander (from No Pain in Pop) Brooklyn boy-girl duo Xeno and Oaklander make Gallic-sounding Italo-disco which No Pain in Pop describes as "momentarily homing in on Dan Deacon as he sneaks below Paris to break the fourth wall for all the skulls awake and restless in the catacombs".
Something is Not Right With Me by Cold War Kids (from MySpace) The Long Beach quartet make a quiet return following their 2006 debut Robbers and Cowards by streaming their new single on MySpace. How novel.
Starstruck by Santogold (from Stereogum) Santogold has been talking about working with David Byrne and Jay-Z of late, but for now we have this excellent Diplo remix of this otherwise OK album track.
Accidental by Inara George & Van Dyke Parks (from Fluxblog) Californian folkster Inara George adds her floaty vocals to the "swirling, twirling, dancing" arrangements of composer Van Dyke Parks.
The Wackness Mixtape (from So Much Silence) The Wackness is a new film set in the New York of 1994, which everyone knows is the golden year of hip-hop (unless you're someone who thinks it was 1993), so naturally it stars Ben Kingsley and Mary-Kate Olsen. Regardless, the mixtape sounds pretty awesome and includes tracks by Nas, Wu-Tang Clan and Biggie.
