“First The Grey Album, then Girl Talk, and now this. Bi-coastal producer Jason Drake (a.k.a. Cassettes Won’t Listen) prepared this meeting of seemingly disparate musical entities between studio sessions for his forthcoming new full-length album, and is now unleashing Animal Ox, a meeting of Animal Collective and Cannibal Ox. Whether this is a “hipster’s wet dream” or not, the basis for the idea has interesting roots. To paraphrase the press release, Cannibal Ox’s 2001 album, The Cold Vein, was a highly influential release that launched both El-P’s group and label into the underground hip-hop spotlight when it came out. Hundreds of miles away at the same time, Animal Collective came together and started slowly climbing the ladder to indie stardom. Animal Ox joins the genre-defying nature of Animal Collective’s discography with Cannibal Ox’s singular opus in what Cassettes Won’t Listen hopes is a respectful and interesting way—he’s essentially paying homage to some of indie music’s most unparalleled icons. Check out the album’s artwork above, and download the whole thing for free here.”

Fab Semperi is from italy and this song is pretty awesome. Kinda low key but its uptempo and very likable.

“Sicilian Fab Samperi a.k.a. The Captain has played his eclectic sets all over the world. In summer 2010, Fab is releasing his first album Power Bossa with Agogo records, the label of such talents as Una Mas Trio, The Juju Orchestra and Mo`Horizons. While waiting for the full length album to be released, we’re excited about his first single. “In The River” will definitely appeal to the dancefloor music lovers as it carries incredibly addictive bluesy riff, uptempo beats and solid grooves.” VIA

This song is great. It’s in French but don’t let that deter you from checking it out.

“Paris based Namasté provides me with that kind of melodic, funky tune I enjoy playing any time of the day. A mixture of urban style beat, soulful saxophone and bass, some neat sampling and an Indie approach would best describe the vibe of Namasté. “L’absurde”, taken from the band’s first EP of the same name, carries mid tempo stylish grooves and catchy French lyrics.” VIA
