OCD Automatic is a dj, promoter, and all-time party man from Madison, Wisconsin. You may have heard of his Whitney Houston remix over on BigStereo. He was in New York for a little and played a few gigs, including the one you're about to hear.
Recorded live in a wall-shifting art gallery tucked away in a shady non-descript street in Manhattan, OCD absolutely killed it and got the kids going crazy.
Get transported to Wisconsin now via our newest Subdrive LIVE SELEKTOR mix.

Sick track from Chase & Status featuring the vocal styles of Plan B from their upcoming album MORE THAN ALOT out on Ram Records October 13th. The video shows the guys getting a video from one of their ex-gf's doing the most messed up things a person could do to you out of spite.
Download the track below, but seriously pick this up in full-quality when it drops!
I like Kids With Snakes. They're quirky, interesting, and artists, plus they threw a party called I Can Haz Party....awesome. They also know good music and get people in the mood to have a fun time at their parties. WIth that said, they sent me their new mix for NYC party photographer Nicky Digital's site. Some classics on the mix and some new stuff; the vibe is pretty upbeat.

Thanks to the guys at Discobelle for bringing this to our attention. Adam Freeland has been playing out an edit of Daft Punk's Aerodynamic with a bit of a chant for Barack Obama. It's pretty nice considering that in the realm of electronic music I haven't seen some outright political endorsements via tracks. We all know people are supporting certain candidates but hearing it outright on the track is a great and different thing.
If you're an Obama supporter, rock the track all the way through Election Day on November 4th. Oh and I promise to never get political on here, but this is really important. If you haven't registered for your absentee ballots or registered to vote in New York or your home state, do it now. The deadline is literally a week away.
Portmanteau are "Two silly young men from Bristol who have decided that bass heavy electro, owls, Mexican wrestling masks, and bright colours make for the best possible way to while away the hours. Portmanteau combines live instrumentation, children’s instruments, synthesisers, samplers, visuals, and their owl known only as “the Colonel”."
It's spacey, fun, disco electro and doesn't waste its time on overwritten vocals. Tracks like Thouse and Spafe definitely stand out on their new self-titled EP with warbling synths and sharp disco-era stabs.
Check out more of their stuff and give them some love at their myspace.
An entry for the Little JinderREMIX EP Contest, Portugal's VARIG has done a remix that can be best described as spaced-out dub four-four. Some elements of the track border on dub-step tinged with minimal, teasing at something bigger but never really delivering until the end. Nonetheless, it's still something that can be great to put on mid-set. Keep your sub on high for this so you get the full experience.
DFA's The Juan Maclean are going on tour to support their new album, "The Future Will Come". We got a link to their new track, Find A Way, but didn't have authorization to share with you all, until now as RCRDLBL has the honors.
The previous tour was in celebration of "Happy House", the massive international club hit being spun ubiquitously from Ibiza to Santo's Party House in NYC, but this tour will be bringing "The Simple Life", the second track to be introduced on September 15th (UK) /16th (US) from the forthcoming album “The Future Will Come”.
"The Simple Life" is an effective mixture of dark arpeggiated synth and militant italo disco drumming, with each bass line and chord change a step towards the light, which in this case belongs to Nancy Whang and the melancholy ambience her presence exudes. She trades verses back and forth with Juan himself, who comes on like a robot in therapy, slowly enunciating love confessions like "promises I never meant, it's just what I had to do."
Juan and Nancy will be supported on stage by Nick Millhiser and Gerry Fuchs (!!! and Turing Machine).
The Juan MacLean's new album, The Future Will Come, is due out in early 2009.
We know you want to be there…
