Starting off the week with a bang, here is a sneak preview from Teengirl Fantasy’s forthcoming album 7AM. Their music is a beautiful journey through rippled-out landscapes with buoyant rhythms and truly unique textures, 7AM explores the dimension where dance beats mingle with hallucinogenic vibes. Perhaps one of the most straightforward dance tracks on the album, “Cheaters” is a beautiful upbeat jam conjuring ghosts of Chicago house divas and warehouse walls. This is a perfect introduction to Teengirl Fantasy’s universe. We can’t wait for their album to arise!

PODCAST (mp3): DOWNLOAD
We’re thrilled about this merging of creative entities. Longtime dublab friends Meanest Man Contest are married in this musical moment to LA’s great Superhumanoids. No need for a tuxedo to celebrate this union, just dress your ears with excitement and prepare to soar along. Like most relationships this one is comfortable in its duality. At moments they dip into touches of doom and gloom but rise again in gauzy bliss. These are humans at work together. We ask that as you celebrate this coming together you keep that rice in your pocket to avoid exploding pigeons.
You can find the original mix of this tune on of the “Designed Entropy 1″ compilation from San Francisco’s Gold Robot label.
Fukakai: A Special Bonus Japan Field Report Mix by Hashim B.
Click on the beautiful art by Akiko Bharoocha above and enter the world of Hashim B’s Japanese “Field Report” available now on the Sounds of VTech blog.
“Fukakai – Incomprehensible. It might be hard to understand why Fuzz, Funk, Folk, New Wave, No Wave, Techno-Pop, Disco, and Anime Songs from Japan between the 1960′s and 2010 could work on one mix, but it reflects the disparate and sometimes colliding cultures of music that have always existed there.”
LA RECORD “100″ THEME STREAM
LISTEN >>> LA RECORD “100″ THEME STREAM
For the past half decade Los Angeles has been blessed with a truly dedicated music publication. The great folks at LA Record launched their laser-focused, poster-zine from their living rooms in 2005 and are now celebrating their 100th issue. Their format has fine-tuned over time but the mission remains the same. LA Record shouts out tomorrow’s sounds today. They turn the world onto artists that mainstream press inevitably drools over long after LA Record’s prophetic ink has dried. They have hipped dublab to so much amazing music and given us even greater appreciation for LA sounds we were already deeply in love with. LA Record have also developed an incredibly rich website for daily music fixes and as a great tool for folks outside the reach of the physical zine to get turned onto new music.
LA Record is a homegrown project blossoming brightly. We know they’ll continue building with a lot of love, positive energy and desire to promote creative music from LA and beyond. To help celebrate LA Record’s 100th issue milestone we offer you this theme stream filled with mixes from the LA Record staff and a heavy array of special guests. Enjoy the sounds and click the following links to find out more about these mixes and download each individually.

Dave Tompkins & friends “How to Wreck a Nice Beach” vocoder bonus beat booms
Tomorrow there may be auto-tune but today we eat vocoder. One of our all-time favorite, inky-fingered, jam on it journalists, Mr. Dave Tompkins, has written a book entitled How to Wreck a Nice Beach which dives deeply into the history of the vocoder. We urge you to get robotic and add this gem to your reading list.
To further inspire your mind in this direction Dave has joined forces with a few friends to bring your ears some great vocoder mixes. Click the image above to go surfin’ on a sea of circuitry with Captain Tompkins and his pal Monk One as they present their “Bonus Beach” megamix. Below, you can pop your cursor on the smokey-faced Yul Brenner to access the “Vocoder Leftovers” mix that Dave made with his buddy Chairman Mao at Spine Magazine.
The Record: Contemporary Art and Vinyl
“The Record: Contemporary Art and Vinyl,” looks like an amazing exhibition. If you’re close to Durham, North Carolina go check it out at the Nasher Museum. This exploration of vinyl and its representation in contemporary art and modern culture features an amazing array of work from the past 50 years. dublab board member Josh Kun and many of our favorite scribes lend written wisdom to the exhibition catalog. Check out this video documentary with Mingering Mike who is featured in the exhibition.

Lucky Dragons will help you connect to desired destinations. Extend your hand and prepare to expand. We fly without time. Slow levitation in hummed hypnosis. We will be absorbed into glacial space glistening. The light reflects from within and shines in shimmering waves. Experience all elements now and let these tones be a testament to turning on.
F.R. DAVID – WORDS
Last night I saw Piper from Puro Instinct at Grown, the awesome fun night put together by SFV Acid and friends every Wednesday, and we started talking about our mutual love for F.R. David. I told her I saw her pick for this obscure gem in her LA Record interview and how much his song “Words” means to me. This track is big part of my childhood, hot summers at the beach in Punta del Este, and dreamy 80s vacations. For years I kept singing that song without knowing who it was, and then when the whole internet thing started taking shape and more info was available, one night i typed the few words I remembered from this song and found it. It was like finding a big piece of the puzzle!!!

MIX: DOWNLOAD
A purely vinyl selection from the space crates of our favorite far-out traveler, Electric Egypt. He flows freely from Psychedelic Rock to Japanese Pop, Ragga, Italo Disco, and Stellar Spacewaves on and on and on. E.E. journeys on an Eastern express through mysterious lands and makes such exotic stops as the early 80′s AustrALIEN underground. The accompanying image, “SunshineSuperShaman” is an original art piece created by electric Egypt just for this mix.
We are huge fans of Electric Egypt’s most recent album “Impressions Of The Inexpressible Invisible.” This mix gets our ears warmed up for the future sounds to come from this talented cat.

This audio offering was recorded live at the Downtown Independent in support of the DVD release of Secondhand Sureshots. In this session you’ll discover a live beat creation by Ras G and incredible mixes from Nobody and J. Rocc… enjoy!
Secondhand Sureshots is a filmed experiment in creative sound recycling. Dublab directors Bryan “Morpho” Younce & Mark “frosty” McNeill sent beatmakers Daedelus, Nobody, J.Rocc and Ras G on safari into L.A. thrift stores with orders to make new music out of five finds while the cameras filmed the whole process. The result is a mini-documentary about putting new life into old vinyl. Over 2 hours of footage, music & bonus material.
