Anjulie, the rapturous, Billboard-chart-topping songstress we discovered last month, has us giddy for her R&B confections again. Her latest single “Rain” is a slinky, flamenco-tinged aphrodisiac, and the video might be better suited for after work (sexy writhing alert!). Her eponymous album has heartbreak and soul, and her North American tour with legend Raphael Saadiq kicks off November 16th.
Sounds like: Nelly Furtado, Corinne Bailey Rae

DOWNLOAD: Chromeo - I Can't Tell You Why (Eagles Cover)
.jpg)
!K7 released their first DJ-Kicks in two years yesterday, this one guided by the hands of lite-funk maestros Chromeo, who put everything from Shazam and Lifelike to The Alan Parsons Project and Kano on there. Buried in the second half of the mix is this Eagles cover, exclusive to the release and the only Chromeo song to make the cut. Honestly, there are few bands we deplore more than the Eagles (sorry...but we still have love for Joe Walsh), and while this cover is pretty faithful in terms of arrangement, we can totally vibe with it because it sounds like it's from the future rather than 1979 and involves zero singing drummers. So there, we have now admitted to enjoying an Eagles song. Grab the MP3 before hell freezes over and pick up Chromeo's DJ-Kicks right here.

DOWNLOAD: MeLo-X - Maxwell's BLACKsummers'night Instrumental Remix EP
If you haven't checked out BLACKsummers'night, Maxwell's first album in eight years, please go do that now. It is excellent. Our pal MeLo-X concurs, enough that he went and remixed a few of its songs into a new, pseudo-instrumental EP. We're aware that it's a little weird to be indulging in a full EP's worth of remixes for an album that came out less than a month ago, but these versions–clicky, robotic, and tasteful–are well worth hearing.

DOWNLOAD: Common - I Want U (!llmind Remix)
Be not belied by the producer’s hardcore facemask. !llmind’s rework of Common’s “I Want U” smoothes the original stutter by injecting a little more lounge, a little more R&B, and flickering into a warm Saturday night jam. What you’d want playing on your first date with that new girl with the big brown eyes. Moving closer with each beat, as her manicured nails flit from your shoulder to her muddled mint concoction and back again. Sigh. First dates are the best.

“Play My Cards for Me,” is softer than we’re used to from John Forté (BKA our other favorite Refugee All-Star). Who knew the pardoned professor had stylings like these? We’re relaxing, imagining white sands in the barefoot strum of this poppy, top-forty-bound jam.
Sounds like: John Legend
DOWNLOAD: John Legend - Everybody Knows (RAC Mix)
Did you know that John Legend used to be a banker? What a career move. Makes me want to chase my dream of being a wildlife documentarian. You'll see. Our pal Andre from RAC and The Pragmatic recently finished this remix of Legend's single "Everybody Knows", which David Bevan just told me makes him weak in the knees. With an endorsement like that I have no idea why you are still reading and not downloading.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Sebastien Tellier - Kilometer (Moulinex Remix)
(Photo: Eduardo Hernandez Vaca)
The glassy sweat music on Sebastien Tellier's Sexual Sportswear was an unsuspected favorite last year, due in part to Seb's coaxing R&B incantations but also to production and writing assistance from Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. Tellier did a abbreviated run through North American cities in support, and he's returned this week for a longer leg of dates leading up to his performance at Coachella on April 19th. The tour coincides with a proper remix EP for his single "Kilometer," with contributed reworkings from A-Trak, Aeroplane, Arpanet and others whose names don't start with "A". The take we have below comes from Munich nu-disco producer Moulinex, who takes things to church with showering arpeggios, an anchored funk low-end, and more than a few snippets of, uh, moaning thrown in for maximum stimulation. Track is below, tour dates after the break, and keep your eyes peeled for a ticket giveaway for the tour's San Francisco stop coming next week.
