Ninja Tune records in general is awesome. If you like Mr Scruff, you'd probably like most of the stuff on their label.

Also, Kid Koala is a turntable genius. Love that guy!

THANK YOU for reminding me about rjd2
I was trying to find his music the other day and I couldn't remember. (specifically the music video for The Horror)

I love RJD2!

Also Metronomy, Little Dragon and Amon Tobin. For the aging hipsters in the crowd.

Al’s I saw Kid Koala a couple times in the mid 2000s including a little bar show that was fucking amazing. We played bingo at the little show. I just found my bingo card a few days ago.

It's like when one of your favorite tracks from an album gets used in a commercial.

It's cool but also sucks.

Like when Plastina Mosh's "Supercombo Electronico" got used in like a Verizon commercial.

Any brand willing to risk it for the biscuit by using Skullgrid in an advert is ok by me.

Band I love gets money, brand gets... confused public?

There's a cover of Aerosmith's Dream On that's sung by a scandinavian performer in that rich, deep, lush way you expect, and it sounds beautiful.

It's the typical "take a rock song and slow it down for a solo" thing they do with every song on those amateur-with-celebrity-judges talent shows, but it sounds actually natural and real instead of this generation's Aguilaran Vocal Gymnastics. But she only did it for the commercial.

I just love hearing the recent sonic commercials because at the end you can hear the unmistakable voice of Marc Rebillet (Loop Daddy) for a fraction of a second saying “wanna live free” and I get so happy knowing his music wasn’t tarnished by commercialism, but he likely made bank of that 1 second line.

Wow this brings back memories, I think one of the tracks here was included with Windows 7.

Interesting. I've never heard it before. It slaps though. Thanks for the link.

Isan - Lucky cat

My goto for calibrating my sound systems. First track seems like it was meant for it.
