6. Slow Magic - "Waited 4 U (Odesza Remix)"

The song appears on Ca$h Out's mixtape, Kitchen Choppas, which you can download here.

11. Catching Flies - "Quiet Nights"

12. T-Pain - "Buy You A Drink (Mr Gat Remix)"

Producer/self-proclaimed "Bedroom Warrior" Mr. Gat takes the Auto-Tune free vocals from T-Pain's recent NPR Tiny Desk Concert session and adds some extra funk to the beat. The results might have you wishing that T-Pain would release more songs like this.

13. Vic Spencer - "Pork Chops"

Soulful production is the perfect complement to Vic Spencer’s coarse voice. On his latest song, "Pork Chops," the Chicago rapper rhymes about the darker side of Chicago hip-hop over a smooth, piano-driven beat by Tony Stanza.

J-Dub weaves together soulful vocals and a hyperactive, pounding bassline for "All I Feel," which appears on the recent Teklife x Hyperdub footwork/juke compilation.

16. Palmistry - Ascenscion EP

The sound of South London producer/vocalist Palmistry's Ascenscion EP lies somewhere between dancehall and the songs of PC Music's Hannah Diamond. It's futuristic pop music, but rooted in dancehall rhythms and production, and provides a glimmering, glistening, softly comforting 30 minutes of music on the nine-track Ascenscion EP.
