In a simple sort of way, you could say October 2009 has been a good month for music. With brand new material from Yeasayer, Vampire Weekend and LCD Soundsystem as well as crazy mixes from Venom&Damage, Memory Tapes and the XX, we can all feel pretty satisfied with what's happening right now and with what's about to come. Take a look back at the month with out top ten countdown of the most popu...

Yeasayer's debut single "Sunrise" is surely one of the most enchanting songs of the last few years. Singer Chris Keating's voice was chilling and those drums were enormous. I hadn't heard anything so authentic in a long time. Unfortunately as Yeasayer return, it seems they've swapped their uniqueness for mediocre pop. The new single from their second album "Odd Blood", is a jolly joint with an ...

At ECOUTEZ we spend everyday dreaming of new M.I.A material. We spend just as much time praying for more Animal Collective, but listening to rowdy M.I.A. and complex Animal Collective require two different states of mind, wouldn't you say? So what is your first reaction when you're told M.I.A.'s new work sounds "totally bizarre" and heads "towards Animal Collective"? "Animal Collective meets Gu...

All week we listen to remix after remix after remix in search of some audio gold. Most of the time we're disappointed, but now and then we unearth some treasures. These remixes are simply so good that that they don't need an explanation. Just download them, put them on your iPod and en-bloody-joy...3REMIXES4THURSDAY #12MP3: Drop The Lime - Devil's Eyes (Classixx Remix)Ohhh Classixx! What can I ...

2009 Playlist: best songs of '09Drop the Lime creates plenty of noisey electro-bass shit. The DJ/Producer from New York leaked a new track this month called "Devil's Eyes" featuring some fresh vocals. Most of the time Drop the Lime's material is club-only type stuff, but this new track verges on the edge of electro-pop and is perfect for your iPod. Don't worry though there's plently of other me...

This UK Funky mix is the best mixtape of the year. It features our two favourite funky tracks. I swear I don't even like long mixes, but last night me and some pals listened to it 3 times in a row and danced nonstop to the first listen. Obviously I can't be bothered to upload the 40min long MP3, so I'm directing you to Fader. Make sure you check out the tracks in bold...MP3: Venom & Damage - Ma...

Nowadays an album's release date is almost as irrelevant as its chart position, but nevertheless every Sunday night we get super excited for the next week's releases. Normally when we get so excited we go and get tattoos or something pierced, but now we've decided to keep ourselves busy by sharing our excitement and tell you about some of next week's major releases with some exclusive album MP3...

On November 17th Vampire Weekend's first official single from their sophomore album, Contra, will hit the Internet on XL recordings. The physical release will be available on December 15th and will feature a B-side called Calafornia English Part 2 - a sequel to the album track Calafornia English. Don't you think the phrase "Calafornia English" sums up everything about VW's impeccable style?Als...

2009 playlistI got sent something decent for once!Cheasleauen (pronounced Shass-Lowen) is a hot piece of ass from Detriot who spends most of her time in Vegas and NYC. This, apparently, contributes to the unique variety in her music (yeah, I read her Myspace bio). What ever it is, we like it; she's got natural, built in swagger that makes her chatty rap seems effortless.The new track we've got...

Yo we weren't expecting this! A new Yo Majesty track just came outta nowhere and stopped us - at the very last minute - fogetting who the hell they were. After Shunda K's depature from Yo Majesty, we were a bit unsure as to whether we'd ever hear from the freaks again. Luckily for us all, they're still up for producing monster tracks (quite literally in their latest song). New release, "Freaks ...

Remixes4thursdaySo this week's been a bit slow-mo with the music. On top of the brilliant ATrak and Switch remixes, we bring you two more...MP3: Emalkay - When I Look At You (SDUK Remix)As if this song needed a remix!? SDUK takes Emalkay's mindblowing track and turns it down a notch and steps on it, creating a slower more sick version of the original. We prefer!MP3: Midnight Juggernaughts - Thi...

I was just blabbing on about A Trak being “remixer of the year” - screw that! It’s all about Switch. This year we’ve already been knocked down by the cooky Bjork dubstep and the controversial M.I.A./Major Lazer remix (and probably many others that I missed too), but his latest is of London louts, the Big Pink. We’ve all been buzzed by the Big Pink hype this year; since the rusty track

Heads will Roll was always my favourite It's Blitz track. The absurdity of "off with head!" is almost sexually magical and as it's from the Queen of Rock, it's a command many of us would happily follow without a moment's hesitation. Before you go decapitating yourself as some sort of new-generation "alcohol doesn't cut it anymore, let's do something crazy" shit, you might wanna take a listen to...
