Thom Yorke Working On Album With DOOM

Thom Yorke has been exceptionally cool lately, even by his usually high I’m-the-singer-in-Radiohead cool standards. Last week there was a surprise DJ set at Low End Theory at the behest of Flying Lotus. Then just yesterday we got to hear his fantastic collaboration with Burial and Four Tet. And now comes this news that Yorke has been in the studio with masked-rapper DOOM, working on “duet songs and shit.” according to the MC.

It’s not their first meeting. Yorke surprised everyone when he remixed DOOM’s “Gazillion Ear” in 2009. So when will we hear this meeting of musical minds? “[It's] just like preliminary shit,” DOOM told 3D World Magazine. “But we’ll probably end up doing a whole record together.”

Eventually Radiohead’s resident beat head turned up, though, heading straight to the stage where he commanded the decks to a roaring house. Yorke started playing around 11pm, with his collaborator and friend Flying Lotus rocking by his side like an avant-garde hype man.

Let The Children Techno (Review)

Compilation

Let The Children Techno

Released by Ed Banger Records


“Admit it, deep inside you’ve always thought of BUSY P as Santa Claus to Ed Banger’s North Pole. And you knew DJ MEHDI was kind of the African cousin to the Whipping Father. Well, guess what? This winter they gathered their favourite newcomers, added a couple of old-timers, mixed them together and cooked the best holiday electronic dish. A brand new compilation of all fresh and unreleased music, down and up-tempo, love and dub-step, warm and cold-beats, and more international than Jesus. Just like the season.” - Pedro Winter [http://busyp.coolcats.fr/2011/01/let-the-children-techno-4/] Compilation ...

Stream New Flying Lotus, Busy P, Mr. Oizo and more (MP3)

Compilation CDs have had a rough couple of years. With MP3 mixes in abundance, it has seemed as if taking the time to properly curate (and license) a collection of songs is a losing proposition. That is, unless you’re ultra-hype French imprint Ed Banger, and your new mix, Let The Children Techno, has tons of new music by artists such as Flying Lotus, Busy P, Mr. Oizo, Cassius and more. You can stream the entire album, mixed by Busy P and DJ Mehdi, on MySpace. Just please don’t rip the tracks and try to play them out. Low quality streams are not meant for da club.

Flying Lotus x Thom Yorke :: Interview by Gilles Peterson

Gilles Peterson attempts to interview Flying Lotus at the Worldwide Awards following the LA producers double win for Album of the Year (for Cosmogramma) and Session of the Year. Then Thom Yorke, rocking his best newspaper boy look, takes over the proceedings. Two things we learn. 1) It took FlyLo a while to get down with Burial, and 2) dude is either really tall, or Yorke and Peterson are very wee.
