Everyone and their mother are doing summer mixtapes, just wish everyone and their mother did it as groovy and well as France’s Dirty Sound System crew.

Vyle releases a new installment of his Hoodtronics mixtape series. The first version mixed by Flosstradamus in 2007 (Rolling Stone Mag’s Best DJ’s of 2008) was met with alot of praise, it’s packed with collaborations between many of today’s upcoming electro, dance and rap artists (such as Surkin, Radioclit, DatA, Kid Sister).

This next installment is just as packed to the brim with collaborations, remixes etc. as the first mixtape and shows Vyle evolving even more, production coming from Tepr, Daedelus, Chuck Inglish (The Cool Kids), Million Dolla Mano and vocal apperances by Mestizo and High Priest (from newly reformed Anti-Pop Consortium), this mixtape reassures us that 2009 is going to a great year for Vyle.

Bringing you some funky stuff today with the latest installment of the Lower End Spasm (run by one of our favorite people, Alex Bok Bok) podcast series. This mix comes from DJ M-Pulse AKA Impakt of the French crew Chataeu Lateuf.

“Inspired by the return of broken beats in funky, the mix ranges in genre but retains a unique jagged momentum. It was recorded live and you can definitely feel that rolling urgency in the blends. Enjoy!”
