Fool’s Gold is a Los Angeles collective that weaves together western pop aesthetics with African rhythms and melodies. Not too long after their communal beginnings, Fool’s Gold developed into a full-time band and their music has been described as: made for hot nights in a sweltering desert. Their new single “Surprise Hotel” will be released on limited 12″ in early November, followed by an album in January. This is the Mad Decent AKA Toadally Krossed Out remix which with the help of some croaking turns it into a surefire club hit.

BONUS: The remix from Micachu & The Shapes + the remix of “Nadine” made by Weird Tapes.

The Kansas City based Think 2wice label put out their sixth release yesterday. The “Tell Me” EP is the first release of original production from label heads Tactic (Ben Fuller & Brent Lippincott). They’ve previously released remixes on labels such as Mad Decent, Dress 2 Sweat and Seclusiasis. The opening “Valhalla” track goes headfirst into early 90’s club territory and encapsulates a menacing synth line before some Baltimore club drums take over and push the track over the top.

BONUS: Their latest mixtape to get you in the groove.

UK genius L-Vis 1990 is definetely one of the most hyped up producers in 2009 going from strength to strength with his funky yet bass heavy releases; he started out with the massive “United Groove” single on Mad Decent, moved onto the recent smash “Night Slugs EP” together with fellow Londoner Bok Bok on Dress 2 Sweat and now he joins the ranks over at the new heavy hitters in Sound Pellegrino with his stunning “Compass/Zahonda EP”. Christian Martin (of Dirtybird fame) gives us his more evil electro/techno take on “Compass”.

Riton & Primary 1 getting a lending hand for their synthlaced monster “Who’s There?” (EP will be out next week on Phantasy Sound) from Swedish wonder Style Of Eye and from one our favorite UK geezers, L-Vis 1990. Both of them showing off their stuff but in way different manners. Style Of Eye delivers a strutty 8 minute opus twisting the synthline into circus mode and pitching the vocals down to scary, L-Vis 1990 on the other hand gives us a remix where he keeps the “Who’s There?” chorus + pressing the synth into manic mode all while adding some of that UK funky which you should know by now. (Thanks to Mad Decent and Darling Department)
