We've been pretty much dormant since Sunday, as I'm sure you've noticed.

Gold Panda- Marriage (Stranger Day rap edit)

ATV homie Stranger Day just sent this rap edit over, and holy shit, it is tight. His trademark buttery flow fits perfectly over this spacey beat. Just in time for summer. Show the dude some love, he's one of our favorite rappers and has always been a big supporter of Avenge the Virgins.

702- Steelo (Sinjin Hawke & LOL Boys remix)

702's r&b banger Steelo gets a vogue house makeover from Montreal/LA duo LOL Boys and ATV regular Sinjin Hawke. This amazing runway rave music remix was released to hype up the Indecent Xposure showcase scheduled this friday.

SBTRKT ft Little Dragon & Drake- Wildfire (remix)

Whoa, I was really not expecting this. Toronto vs UK vs Gothenburg. Little Dragon and Drizzy add a little flavour to SBTRKT's futuristic bass tune, and the combo really works. Of course, there's going to be haters, but I'm really not mad at this. OvoXo gang, bitch.

The Weeknd- Rolling Stone

Getting faded too long
Got me on this rollin stone,
so take another hit,
kill another serotone.
with a hand full of beans
And a chest full of weed
Got me singing bout a bitch
While I'm blowing out my steam
Yea I know I got my issues
Why you think I fuckin' flow?

A preview of his upcoming mixtape called Thursday. Still my favorite new act of the year, real talk. So dope. xo til' we overdose.

Catch you later for a new edition of Best of the Rest. This hibernation shit is over.

Stranger Day x Avenge The Virgins

Well, here it is, as promised. We were blown away when Stranger Day sent this over a week ago, and have been bumping it non-stop since. This North Carolina MC jumped on my favorite beat of 2010, does it justice, and even includes a gnarly shout-out at the end of the tune. We're pretty stoked about this, and we hope you are too. This shit is raw. Show some love.

Big ups to Stranger Day & Permanent Vacation.

Once again, we'd like to apologize for the somewhat sporadic posting. Motherfucker, I'm ill. Seriously, I have a shitty viral infection of some sort. And we party too much, in general. Do you know how hard it is to write a half-decent post when you're hungover? Jesus. Anyways, I'm starting the new segment on Wednesday, so keep your eyes peeled and your trigger finger on the refresh button.

Just a quick lil' post to get the juices flowing

Guido- Mad Sax (Stranger Day remix)

North Carolina MC and Avenge The Virgins favorite Stranger Day puts in another solid effort, this time he goes in on the massive Mad Sax by UK dubstep producer Guido. This one took me by surprise, to be honest, if only because the sample choice was a bit out of left field. It's nice to see a rapper jump on an actual quality dubstep tune instead of a wobble anthem, but whatever floats your boat.

Also, he mentioned to us that he would like to rap over Girl Unit tunes, which would be all sorts of rad. Why has no one laid a verse on WUT yet? Regardless, Stranger Day does not disappoint on this one. Stay up, fam.

Free Energy- Something in common

Catchy-as-fuck indie pop that rocks your proverbial socks off. Boom. Not terribly cerebral, but you can definitely groove to this. The nice little synth and propulsive bass line make this an undeniably funky little jam.

Christoph Andersson - Capital (Jim-E Stack Remix) by JIM-E STACK

This dude's music is the future! Admittedly, I say this quite a bit about tons of producers, but it's true! New Orleans' maestro of sorts Jim-E Stack has gained a lot of popularity recently, due in large part to his fantastic remix of Nguzunguzu's Mirage, which was talked about on all the right channels. This particular tune sounds like a club version of a Zelda quest on peyote, if that makes any sense (it shouldn't). Soulful, mystical and all the right amounts of sexiness. What more do you want out of a tune? Brilliant.

see you tomorrow
