Sunday’s Best

We’ve all heard “Nostalgia, ULTRA”, I mean ya boy Frank Ocean has already been mentioned in two TRUANTS posts since the album/mixtape/thing came out. Now comes his third. Also getting a second mention of late is DJ Ayres. This time he’s done something effortlessly simple yet also perfect because of its simplicity. Taking the dramatically […]

It’s Sunday, literally on the verge of Monday, but we weren’t going to to miss out on another Sunday’s Best! Here is the 13th edition consisting another collection of tracks that have been tickling our fancy the last week, starting off with the wonderful New York based Deniz Kurtel. Wolf & Lamb affiliate and lady of […]

Try finding good music on Sunday. We’ve already posted one remix of Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers” by Tyler, The Creator here on Truants, but earlier this week Stephen Fasano a.k.a. The Magician, formerly of Aeroplane, gave away his version as a Valentine’s gift and took it in a completely unique path, creating an upbeat jam […]

It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow, and we’ve got our hands on a fairly appropriate track to kick off Sunday’s Best with. No depressed Drizzies doing their “Fall For Your Type” thing that is, or lascivious Robin Thickes singing about sex therapy. Although I am tempted to turn this into a collection of cheesy R&B tracks, we […]

With Ice Cube they ain’t no telling. He might have one cocked and loaded, ready to bust. We might do the Sunday’s Best. Then let’s do the Sunday’s Best.  The first tune is an edit by Kingdom of Jim Jones’ “Cinderella“. Jim Jones (not that one) was the is one of the creators of The Diplomats, […]

“Nothing is so musical as the sound of pouring bourbon for the first drink on a Sunday morning. Not Bach or Schubert or any of those masters,” Carson McCullers once wrote. Maybe I don’t have enough life experience but I prefer a bit of Allegro vivace con delicatezza and some Trina over a glass of Evan […]

To quote Gloria Gaynor, I am what I am, and what I am is a complete and utter fool for a snazzy re-edit, especially when the original is a dangerously infectious chunk of chugging Motown boogie released in the year of my birth (yikes). Sample hounds might also notice a slice of a vocal used […]

So it’s Monday again, which means another big batch of releases will be making there way out into the world. One of the EP’s I’m most excited about is the release of Starkey’s Space Traitor Vol 1 EP which could literally pass as a mini LP considering it consists of 6 originals and 6 remixes […]

Happy Sunday’s Best, everyone! Unfortunately I won’t post the direct link to this Sunday’s Best track since it’s technically illegal, streaming will do! This track produced by our boy Swizz Beats, Roman’s Revenge, has dope 808’s drums and a filmic touch with strings and choirs and all that jazz. It It took me a while […]

“Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week.” I’m unashamedly trying to put another Irishman on the map here, Dublin-based DJ/producer/promoter/renaissance man Frankie Grimes. Yes, that’s his real name, yet unlike his unfortunate namesake in The Simpsons, everything seems to be going his way right now. The young student of History is a resident in […]

Millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Despite our busy schedules, being pressed for time and wishes for more than twenty-four hours in a day, we always find Sunday the perfect day to kick away all the obligations and take some well-deserved me-time. Even though […]
