Seems like the wait is over, after a couple of tunes and a mixtape that everyone went crazy for, the Weeknd (or better yet Abel Tesfaye) quickly became one of the talks of the year and definitely one of the most prominent new acts this year, making people anticipate the debut album even more, even though the Weeknd released a whole set of 2011 anthems so far. ‘Rolling Stone’, ‘The Morning’, ‘Wicked Games’, ‘High for this’ and almost any other tune released so far.
I had ‘Rolling Stone’ (which reappears on the new album) on my chill Firewall Mixtape which was a kind of best of my ipod selection and i really had a hard time deciding which one of their tunes to put on. File under r/firstworldproblems
Decide yourself if it can live up to its expectations / people on Fb are a bit complaining that the mixdown is low on the vocals in comparison to the “House of Balloons” mixtape / true. Download & Enjoy “Thursday” full album here.

The Black Milk / Jack White collabo is out as a 7″ on Jack Blacks own imprint Third Man and available via itunes. A real nice collaboration of a well liked underground mc (who is an artist and not a product) and the former White stripes head who seems to keep on doing whatever he likes like a true fanboy, and thanks for staying like that. That sets Jack White apart from the rest! Their music keeps going from strength to strength, toghether and seperately. Great 7″. Ps I found these gem via our top tunes group on facebook. Thx to Max Clusive

Beiruts new album “Rip Tide” came out last week and while i never mentioned “East Harlem”on this site, the single that came out 2 months prior to the album release, i kept on playing it as one of the nights ends tunes, and have been deeply & cosmologically in sync with the song and its levitating feel, and thats how i pretty much feel about the entire album. Here is another pick from “Rip Tide”. Enjoy the album and its really worth it, one of my absolute faves right now!

Side note: this summer they have toured a few festivals in Europe but never even touched down anywhere remotely close to germany. i wanna see them live and i want to see the entire crowd go “Whoa” when “East Harlem” is dropped in prime time. Deserves it!
