The Seattle duo USF, formerly known as Universal Studios Florida, sent over a new track called ‘Branss’, the B-side from a new EP coming out soon on Highfives and Handshakes. Also, the band posted two fine tunes from the upcoming full-length The Spray on their Bandcamp page in order to try and collect some money for new equipment, since most of their stuff were stolen from the practice space.

It’s that time of year – we’re going on vacation so there probably won’t be any posts in the next couple of weeks. Here’s this summer’s summer mix, with songs by Marine Girls, White Ring, These Are Powers, Memoryhouse, Orange Juice, Indian Jewelry, Toro y Moi and others. Have a nice summer!
The latest guest mix comes from Detroit’s Coyote Clean Up. It’s an excellently mixed laid back collection of mostly eletronic stuff, ranging from minimal techno and ambient to dubstep and soul, with a touch of indie rock and drone. Great for summer but I believe it will work equally well in other seasons! Also, Sade goes incredibly well with minimal techno.
Coyote Clean Up’s new album Downhill Exxxpress is out now on I Had an Accident Records, you can get it here. “DJ sets, live shows, remixes, mixes, and tons of other secret goodies coming soon as well!” Can’t wait! The mix:
01. Intro
02. Addison Groove – Footcrab (James Braun edit)
03. Uffie ft. Pharrell – ADD SUV (AVH remix)
04. Ricardo Villalobos – Quizás
05. Miss Fitz – Dementia
06. Sade – Smooth Operator
07. Ada – Eve (DJ Koze mix)
08. Model 500 – Night Drive
09. 2562 – Lost
10. L.V. featuring Dandelion – CCTV
11. T2 – Heartbroken
12. Von D – Show Me
13. Actress – Purrple Splazsh
14. Oval – Motif
15. Jen Paul – Wheels + Chime (CCU dub)
16. GoGoGo Airheart – These Honor Suits
