First got into Faze Action when my Tiny Choons co host Zonja played me their track 'I Wanna Dancer' for our show all about space laser noises. It's so good. Their track, not our show. (Although our show is pretty good too) That's from their album 'Stratus Energy' - check out their latest album 'Body Of One' from last year as well. Been listening to loads of Midnight Magic lately and this is a similar vibe.

Palmbomen II live on Beats In Space
Posted about Palmbomen II recently and he was just on Beats In Space yesterday doing a live set. Definitely a current favourite. Lo-fi and housey and soft synthy but also not really sounding like anything else I've heard before, easy to get lost in these blissed out island vibes, and then there's some absolute whopper bangin' tunes towards the end. Would love to see him live!

The J File: The Avalanches
I was well aware of Australia's radio station Triple J - but didn't know there is a digital station called Double J that has a weekly show called the J files that explores different records and bands. This episode with Tim Shiels looks back at the amazing Australian band The Avalanches - playing their one and only album from 2000 'Since I Left You' in full - the show starts with some of their early EP tracks, includes stories behind some of the album tracks and samples and interviews with some of the band members. Also includes a rare B side of Frontier Psychiatrist I hadn't heard before, and the story behind that track and the song it samples. Quality radio show about an album which still sounds deadly 15 years later.
10 days left to listen:

It ends with a promising clip of an interview with Danny Brown where there is talk of a new album, (although I'm not going to hold my breath!) and the amazing remix of the Hunters & Collectors track they did about a year or so ago, but it doesn't play all of it, you can check it out here.

25 Deadly Free Downloads
This is a collection of some of my favourite free downloadable tracks on Soundcloud. Bit of a mixed bag, some old, some new, but mostly housey happy vibes. Includes the Faithful Players Chromeo x Haim mashup that I have posted before, and a great little disco edit from Dublin's own Fatty Fatty Phonographics. If you know of any more please let me know!

Megadon Betamax
One of my favourite tracks of the past few years is this one 'Don't Ask' by Megadon Betamax. Gorgeous, quality disco house vibes. And true to the title I never even thought about looking up the artist til this week.
So - Megadon Betamx is an Autralian guy called Mostyn - he's based in Dubai and also one of the founders of London's Voyeurhythm Records. And most importantly in Swooner's eyes, he has a bunch of deadly mixes on his soundcloud. This one in particular is an oldie, but very excellent.
