Last year, Björk and Dirty Projectors played a benefit show put together by Brandon Stosuy of Stereogum. A mutual admiration resulted in the recording of the EP Mount Wittenberg Orca. The 7 song EP benefits the National Geographic Society Oceans Project -- a worthwhile charity in these times if ever one existed.

Can I tell you something pause-worthy? Ok, maybe that's pushing it, but there are few bands I have been as consistently excited by as I have for the past six years with Zero 7. They've created four albums of important material from the last decade, the kind of songs that always come to mind in times of trouble to soothe me, to fill me up when I'm feeling down, and to set the mood when the lights go down in my boudoir. By the same token, I'm very taken with master remixer/producer/DJ Carl Craig. Carl Craig creates ...
Few people are as deeply influential to the creation of hip-hop and the roots of both hip hop and graffiti culture as Rammellzee. One of the founding fathers and originators, we mourn his passing today.

The band Daybehavior hail from Stockholm, Sweden. They're a seasoned band of electronica + pop creators. This is their latest track, "City Lights" and they've asked that I share with you.
