NEW BURAKA MIXTAPE - Blood Diamond

Funny, I only watched the movie "Blood Diamond" for the first time last night.

Definately was no Black Diamond.

Progressive kuduro artists Buraka Som Sistema have given us some more hard-ass dancing to do, feat Zomby, Rusko, Lykke Li, Radioclit and Afrikan Boy and that remix of Oxide and Neutrino's "You're No Good for Me" that Laneway punters will remember well.

Thanks Mad Decent.

XLR8R Steps On It

An average day at the office for the lucky employees of XLR8R Magazine includes a guided tour from Zizek Club's staple DJ Villa Diamante of Buenos Aires' best places to chow down, sit down and get down, chatting to Major Lazer, a fictional producer with a convincing Jamaican accent, and mediating smackdowns discussions between pro-copyright fiend Renee Scroggings of ESG and sample-swiper Girl Talk.

XLR8R ("accelerator") is a multi-format magazine centred around culture, fashion, technology and music. XLR8R TV, podcasts and free weekly downloads, not to mention the fact that readers can choose to download the magazine as a PDF rather than subscribe, combine to bring the magazine to the forefront of music and culture newsgathering.

Recently featured artists include Mr Oizo, Zomby, Animal Collective, Dan Deacon, Junior Boys and the Juan Maclean.
