Feel like you have a hole in your life without a decent electro-jazz-hip hop fusion to fill it? Well, let me turn your attention to BADBADNOTGOOD's new album, BBNG2. It's got thick bass, adventurous piano, crunching guitars, pounding drums, and amazing sax. Trust me; it's amazing. Listen to or download the new album, BBNG2 below.

Ugly Kids have come with such a chilled-out version of 2 great tracks. A combination of Breakbot's “Baby I’m yours” and Chromeo’s “Night by Night” which they have renamed to “Baby Be Night." This mash, matches perfectly, and couldn’t come at a better time. Ugly Kids are set to release their first EP coming on TUFFEM UP! records this year. (via Trashbags)

Keljet have truly done the impossible in resurrecting Brandy's "I Wanna Be Down" from out 1994’s cold but wet dungeons. Gathering the grand piano and soulful candles for a few more several renditions, Keljet raise another glass of brandy towards the night time aroma of housed up closeness. (via Aerial Noise)

John Mayer might have destroyed his vocal chords, but don’t let that stop him from coming up with an emotionally charged cover of Lana Del Rey’s “Videogames." Don’t get me wrong, I’m as sick of the remixes and covers of “Videogames” as the next guy but this is totally different. Mayer puts on a pure guitar clinic here, capturing the dark and gloomy vibe that made the original so captivating to begin with. No voice needed. (via The Chuckness)

While Mr. Little Jeans is in fact a woman (Norwegian Monica Birkeness), her music seems flexible enough to garner any identity it wishes. Case in point: Nathan Williams's remix of "Runaway." In his version, the Wavves frontman seamlessly adds prominent percussion and psychedelics to the relatively chilled-out original, making it all a little extra freaky. (via Prefix)

One of the best tracks, also one of my favorites, from the late and still great beat master, Nujabes. Sampling "Tens" by Nana Caymmi as body and of course rhymes by Shing02. It is just funny how the music puts time in perspective. Check it!

Here's something different. Not considered a mash-up but The Cataracs sampling Kaskade and bringing on board Waka Flocka Flame for their new tune “All You." It’s a stunning sample usage of the 2006 Kaskade track “All You” and it’s hype factor is pretty high considering Kaskade and electronic music is tearing up mainstream radio at the moment but I’m not sure this has what it takes to stand out in the crowd.

Drake gives two for the price of one on a Saturday morning, dropping clips for “Take Care” and “HYFR” in succession. For the first, Drake linked up with his once-rumored paramore Rihanna for a second go-round of scintillating pop. But unlike the last collaboration, “What’s My Name?," which begs you to slowly drop it the floor, the Jamie XX-produced “Take Care” calls for more intimate gyrating. Appropriately, Drake and Rihanna spend a lot of the clip embracing each other—similar to Ciara and 50 Cent’s “Can’t Leave Em Alone” video but with a lot more clothing. There is other loveliness to behold, like the slo-mos of random wildlife dispersed throughout the video. But its beauty is no surprise, as sampling from Jamie XX and Gil Scott-Heron’s collaborative remix album inspired wonder in all of us in the first place. 

To add more to his creative cache, the visual treatment for the Lil Wayne-featuring “HYFR” smashes our traditional notion of Rap Party Video, as Drake invites us to celebrate his bar mitzvah. (via The Fader)

Longtime collaborators Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes teamed up for one of the iller slept-on singles of the 2000s in “For The Nasty," a track that, for whatever reason, never made its way onto an album. Instead, it lived as a single released by Motown in 2005. That didn’t stop producer Freddie Joachim from diggin’ up the somewhat-hype track and turning it into a jazzy, laid-back burner. It’s a winner. (via PIMB)
