The Best New Mixes Streaming Right Now

Animal Collective member Panda Bear (real name Noah Lennox) dropped a mix and made a special website to help build anticipation for his new album Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper. Alongside house tracks from the likes of Moodyman and Maxi Mill the likes, there are snippets of music from the new album, but whether you're here for the new Panda Bear or not, this is an excellently curated mix.

At the end of August, Boiler Room and Ray Ban teamed up with Hudson Mohawke to celebrate the release of his Chimes EP in grand style. The lineup itself was wild with, QT’s (A.G. Cook and SOPHIE) debut live performance and sets from SOPHIE, Oneohtrix Point Never, Lunice, and HudMo himself (who was joined by Busta Rhymes for three songs).

SOPHIE's DJ set is pretty much all PC Music material, with a bunch of interesting new tracks, especially the raunchy, club destroying futuristic banger that comes in just after the 22 minute mark. Lunice's set is as high energy as we've come to expect, and even features some special dancers around the 45 minute mark.

Lunice also dropped a hip-hop heavy mix for Resident Advisor which you can check out here.

Scratcha DVA is here to remind you that the Hyperdub label is still at the very cutting edge of electronic music, and that he himself is one of the best DJs about. The mix goes heavy on Hyperdub artists, with DVA himself, Ikonika, Kode9, and Jessy Lanza featuring alongside the cream of the UK underground like Fraxinus, Neana, and Finn. Starting around 130bpm, Scratcha DVA pays tribute to DJ Rashad and Teklife, moving up to 160bpm and ending with some footwork fire.

If you want to get excited about forward-thinking dance music, listen to this mix.

You should already know that Eric Dingus is quietly killing it on Soundcloud, racking up hundreds of thousands of plays on his production, remixes, and mixtapes, and this latest mix should be no different. Filled with 100% original production from the young Austin-based, OVO-approved producer (tracklist below), listening to Footage is like taking a journey through a misty, monochrome dreamworld where there are certainly moments of utter beauty, but also the lingering sense that something bad is about to happen.

Kane West (no, not Kanye) is the latest talent to come from the PC Music camp, and Western Beats is his first proper release. It's more of an EP really, combining seven tracks of original production, which can be downloaded in separated form here.

Where most PC Music output is quickly identifiable by its hyper-bright, hyper-pop sheen, Kane West's music is harder to place. Western Beats is mainly house and electro, but all tied together by video game sounds and weirdly manipulated vocal samples.

We know London producer Dark0 for his colorful, heard-hitting grime production (and also his A+ Vine game), but this mix for i-D is something a little different. It's a gorgeous, calming mix with all the tracks full of emotion, whether that's How To Dress Well and Spooky Black or clips of video game soundtracks. Dark0 explains:

This mix is basically a collection of nostalgia influenced pieces, weightless productions and scores that have stuck with me. I've always thought a lot of the music used in games is very underrated in terms of their depth and ideas and doing this mix gave me the opportunity to include some of my favourites. One in particular is a game called "Tyrian" - a space-shooter filled with mad colours and beams and has this weird tragic storyline. I based the premise of the mix behind this - its about being lost in space but still feeling content and somewhat close to home. Hope you enjoy it.
