[Album Stream] Listen to JJ Doom's 'Butter Edition' of 'Keys to the Kuffs', Including Remixes from Clams Casino, Thom Yorke and Beck

Refresher: JJ Doom = MF Doom and Jneiro Jarel. Last year, they released the fantastic Keys to the Kuffs, a collaboration that paired Doom's bizarre lyricism and Jarel's dark, outlandish production. Exactly one year later, on August 20th, Lex Records will be releasing the "Butter Edition" of the album, featuring reworked versions of tracks, new guest verses (including Del the Funky Homosapien) as well as remixes from the likes of Thom Yorke, Clams Casino, Beck and Dave Sitek. Stream the whole album below and pre-order it here.

[News] Yeah Yeah Yeahs Announce Fourth LP

Yeah Yeah Yeahs will return later this spring with a brand new album, their fourth studio LP and the follow-up to 2009's It's Blitz!. Titled Mosquito, the album was produced by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek and will be released on April 16th. After squashing rumors that he was producing the whole of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' latest work, James Murphy will at least be producing one of the tracks on the upcoming release, which will feature Dr. Octagon (otherwise known as Kool Keith).

When speaking on the album with Pitchfork, frontwoman Karen O said:

We have this little shitty studio downtown [in New York] that belongs to us, so we wrote songs and recorded demos whenever we felt inspired; it was kind of like how we did Fever to Tell and our first demo. And emotionally, it’s been a rollercoaster– being back in New York is intense for me. I’ve gone through an identity crisis. It’s been very emotionally intense for Nick, too. He was going through a break-up while we were making the album. It was just all kind of down."

Below, you can watch footage of the band debuting material from Mosquito during performances this past weekend. As well, the artwork for the album is pictured above, with the crazy visual feast being a creation of animator Beomsik Shimbe Shim.

[Listen] Florence & The Machine - "No Light, No Light" (Dave Sitek Remix)

After having remixed MF DOOM's "Rhymin' Slang" just last week, Dave Sitek, of TV On The Radio and Maximum Balloon, is at it again, and this time around he's remixed Florence & The Machine's "No Light, No Light." The song, which was one of twelve featured on Florence & The Machine's recently released sophomore album Ceremonials, will be released as a 12" single on January 16th, and Mr. Sitek's remix will accompany it as a b-side. The remix does change the song, however, slightly sacrificing the sombre mood of the original in order to make the song more danceable. Despite that, though, the two songs will make for an excellent single, so check out the remix below, courtesy of a premiere at FactMag.
