Additionally, if you like what you hear you should probably purchase music from the above artists at any of these fine online retailers (or your local independent record store):

Insound | Amazon MP3 | eMusic | Other Music

Also, If you want to download all (or most of) the tracks in this post, you should probably think about installing the DownThemAll! or FlashGot Firefox extensions.

As you may or may not know, Jonathan Visger of Mason Proper has a solo project name of Absofacto. Well, Visger has been working with experimental hip hop artists 10k Cities (which in turn is a collaboration between GT favs Pollination and zoomzip). Do you remember zoomzip from this memetastic remix? If not, you should. Anyway, Dovecote Records is releasing a limited edition split 7″ from Absofacto and 10k Cities. It should ship somewhere around February 24th. Preorderers get an immediate download of both tracks from the 7″, plus a bonus track from 10k Cities. Listen.

Streamable: Kiko 7″ (bandcamp)

You can preorder the Kiko 7″ @ music.absofacto.com or dovecoterecords.com.

Sign up for the email list (here) before the ship date and you will receive a discount code, but it will only work until the ship date. The digital download will be available without any physical encumbrances in the future post-ship date. Until then, preordering is the only way to get it.

So, now that you have (most likely) ordered the 7″, you should totally download this mp3 from 10k Cities. Think of it as special bonus track for reading this post. Listen.

Downloadable: Nametag (mp3)

And if you want to hear where the Absofacto/10k Cities collaboration originated, you should probably listen to Pollination‘s Mason Proper remix over @ Soundcloud.

Nick Noeding Jr. is busy. Besides his Shoegaze/Down-tempo/Acousmatic/Tape music solo work as Pollination, he is also currently involved in the following projects Day Of The Woman (w/ Yppah and Stenographer), Collider (a Yppah collab), 10k Cities (a Zoomzip collab), and Slow (a Stenographer collab). And then there is also his wildlife analysis photography. Oh, and he also plays in Yppah’s live band.

So we were pretty excited to received a mixtape from Nick the other day. If you want the real “mixtape” experience with the 79MB file below maybe you should get one of THESE (and if you do let me know if it actually works). If you don’t want to dl the whole mix, I have also included a few individual mp3s for your downloading pleasure. Listen…
