It’s been a bit since we posted a weekend mix so their seems no better reason than my bashed up toe.  Nothing better to kick your weekend off than a stellar mashup by Captain Cuts featuring Avicii and StB fav’s The Knocks.  And there’s no reason not to throw a new Robots With Rayguns remix in, especially a Beyoncé one.  Follow that up with the masterly mixing of Big Sean and Wolfgang Gartner by The Hood Internet and a sunny remix by LA’s Goldroom of Gigamesh and we’re talking party.  Last but not one of my favorite remixers Fear Of Tigers a take on Anoraak’s “Nightdrive With You”.  Enjoy some good beer!

Fav Tracks

Arguably the most infamous member of the Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (OFWGKTA) crew outside Tyler the Creator himself, Frank Ocean is a bit of an outlier amongst his cohorts. Opting for sensual crooning on accessible backtracks in lieu of brutal raps over oft-grating beats, Ocean has built a rep for himself outside the group that has him working with the likes of Kanye West, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Nas, etc. Listening to his first single from soon to be released EP Nostalgia, LITE “Novacane”, we find out why.

On “Novacane” Frank shows himself to be a complex and extremely talented individual. Behind all the sex and drugs in the lyrics there is an honest-to-god love song. Even in his drug fueled haze Ocean yearns for a sincere connection with this girl. A theme more likely to be associated with The Weeknd over Tyler and friends. Nonetheless an amazing song and even more amazing video. Nostalgia, LITE, which is a refined release of his blog released Nostalgia, ULTRA mixtape is due out July 28th via Def Jam.
