Ninja Tune records in general is awesome. If you like Mr Scruff, you’d probably like most of the stuff on their label.
Also, Kid Koala is a turntable genius. Love that guy!

RJD2 is the shit honestly.
I love RJD2!
THANK YOU for reminding me about rjd2
I was trying to find his music the other day and I couldn’t remember. (specifically the music video for The Horror)Also Metronomy, Little Dragon and Amon Tobin. For the aging hipsters in the crowd.
Al’s I saw Kid Koala a couple times in the mid 2000s including a little bar show that was fucking amazing. We played bingo at the little show. I just found my bingo card a few days ago.
It’s like when one of your favorite tracks from an album gets used in a commercial.
It’s cool but also sucks.
Like when Plastina Mosh’s "Supercombo Electronico" got used in like a Verizon commercial.

Knowing those two, they probably love the irony of a corporation paying money to use RTJ’s anti-capitalistic, transgressive songs in an ad, let alone a brand like Cadillac.
But hey, it’s “ju$t” money

I’d like to think they are smart enough to not be happy about their transgressive ideas being recuperated.
That’s a good point. I’m familiar with the concept, but didn’t realize it had been formalized so distinctly, so I suppose you’re right.
It’s interesting, though, because one would think that’s there’s always going to be a balancing act between wanting to make your message more well known and wanting to keep it unadulterated.
You got it, Betty.

Any brand willing to risk it for the biscuit by using Skullgrid in an advert is ok by me.
Band I love gets money, brand gets… confused public?
I just love hearing the recent sonic commercials because at the end you can hear the unmistakable voice of Marc Rebillet (Loop Daddy) for a fraction of a second saying “wanna live free” and I get so happy knowing his music wasn’t tarnished by commercialism, but he likely made bank of that 1 second line.

There’s a cover of Aerosmith’s Dream On that’s sung by a scandinavian performer in that rich, deep, lush way you expect, and it sounds beautiful.
It’s the typical “take a rock song and slow it down for a solo” thing they do with every song on those amateur-with-celebrity-judges talent shows, but it sounds actually natural and real instead of this generation’s Aguilaran Vocal Gymnastics. But she only did it for the commercial.
Wow this brings back memories, I think one of the tracks here was included with Windows 7.
Yep! That was Kalimba.
Interesting. I’ve never heard it before. It slaps though. Thanks for the link.
I prefer keep it unreal, fight me
Fish is the choice track
keep moving is 🔥 too
Isan - Lucky cat
My goto for calibrating my sound systems. First track seems like it was meant for it.
Just randomly listened to this today in a VM I installed for a game. wtf.
Gonna say, who you calling trash
I turned this on and my girlfriend turned around with the most bewildered but happy look on her face 😭
