Mixtape Cult[ure]'s bringing you another exclusive, Junior Senior, Denmark's rump-shaking team are releasing their new record, 'Hey Hey My My' on Tuesday in North America but why should you have to wait?
I saw the band in action yesterday during their instore at Soundfix records in Brooklyn, after being tipped off by B-Rad. The new record is a 40 minute party that borrows heavily from 80's pop, funk and hip hop to create a fun, daceable album. The release also comes with a bonus 7 Track EP, with a good couple of solid grooves on it. Look out for cameos from Le Tigre and other musicians.
Here are tracks 1 - 6 for your listening pleasure. If you like it, go pick it up tomorrow, if you don't, go pick up something by The Raveonettes(their Danish labelmate's)
DJ Lainii is sending you this mix from across the ether. All the freshest tracks that have been tearin' up and wearin' down the hippest dance floors this summer, and then some!

A little bit of shoegaze to ease you into your week from East Coast babe Gel J. Shoegaze is a genre of alternative rock that emerged from the UK in the late 1980s characterised by it's wall-of-sound aesthetics, subdued vocals and melodic soundscapes, very similar to the songs on the "Digital Bollocks" mixtape by Will M.
The mix features Cocteau Twins, Asobi Seksu, Starflyer 69 and some other great artists and is def. one of my favorite so far! So, tune out your thoughts, turn up your headphones, and Enjoy.
p.s. don't forget to check out the comments section for a bonus dancemix featuring Peaches, MSTRKRFT, Missy Elliot and the Klaxons.
This is Alex M.'s second mix. He was responsible for the "White Boy Dance Party" a little while back". This mix is a homage to the artists you might not get to see on TRL or on a NOW album but are far more deserving of your money, a mon avis.
It's an eclectic mix of artists, featuring Feist, The Decemberists, Jarvis Cocker and our local heroes Oh! Discretion (Journal & Courier's best new local band of 2007) who start off the mixtape. (Look in the comments section for a link to free downloads of their music).
Enjoy and make sure to come back on the weekend for a dance party mix that'll make you wet your pants in glee!
The first track is off parisian boys Justice's upcoming release, it's called "The Party" and it features cheeky lady rapper Uffie.
The remainder of this week's mixtape comes to us from dj to the (hip)stars, DJ Never Forget from Brooklyn. Its called "My Life With Lo-Fi-FNk" and it's got some more Justice, Lo-Fi-Fnk's "City" remixed by the teenagers, a vicious remix of Kelis' Lil' Star and more good stuff. Best of all, it's premixed and dancefloor ready. (There's a link to the download in the comments section)
