DOWNLOAD: Mahjongg - Free Grooverider + Selector Dub Narcotic Remix
Over two albums of unbridled rhythmic genius, Chicago's Mahjongg have become the percussive weirdos of their city's post-rock lineage, masters of Afro-beat poly-rhythms and Latin hand drum fills that sound like mating insects on No-Doze. Earlier this year the band put out their first album for K Records called Kontpab and just got back from a pretty extensive tour of Europe, but somewhere amidst all that shred found some time to put out a seven-inch through K called "Free Grooverider," one of their more artificial sounding tunes with thin electronic beat blasts under some thin vocoder. On the flip is a remix of the tune from Selector Dub Narcotic aka K label boss Calvin Johnson aka Beat Happening guy aka Olympia's indie rock Jesus, who does a good dub job by removing some things, adding a lot of echo, and just generally making the track sound weirder. Both sides are below.

Mahjongg - Free Grooverider (Selector Dub Narcotic Remix)
DOWNLOAD: Project Jenny, Project Jan - You Said (feat. So Percussion)
“You Said” is one of those slinky, percolating tracks with a whole lot of vibraphone and faded gang vocals that when you listen to it in the morning sounds like wind chimes cheering you out of bed. Nice feeling. The cut comes from a new project from Brooklyn’s Project Jenny, Project Jan, who’ve spent their summer making tracks with their good buds in Mixel Pixel, Fujiya & Miyagi, Nate Martinez from Pela and a slew of others to craft a collaborative EP that's due out this fall. “You Said” features New York-based thwackers So Percussion, an ensemble known for working with everyone from Steve Reich to Matmos and The Dirty Projectors. Grab the track below and make sure to cop the EP when it comes out, as all the proceeds will be going to charity. To hold you over until then you can catch Project Jenny, Project Jan play the free McCarren Pool After Party at the Music Hall Of Williamsburg in Brooklyn on August 24 (that's on Sunday).
