Whether you celebrate Colombus Day or Indigenous People's Day or the Introduction of Syphillis To Europe Day, it's still Mixtape Mondays cotdammit (!) Enjoy your night off (and our night off) with a few mixes from the likes of Flying Lotus (a new leak from his work on the Grand Theft Auto 5 soundtrack in the form of a broadcast from his virtual GTA5 radio station FlyLo FM), Chairman Mao (the DJ and hip-hop scholar, not the former communist dictator) running through the best of Impulse Records for his RBMA show, and the always-dependable LeftO. Click through to start your week with music discovery, not the other thing.
This new Flying Lotus blend, titled Heart Racing Mix will live inside the new, box office destroying GTA 5 game. FlyLo kicks off with your favorite beat from Until The Quiet Comes and proceeds through gems from Tyler, The Creator and Outkast, interspersed with exclusive and unreleased goodies from FlyLo himself. Tune in to FlyLo FM below:

mixtape mondays Chairman Mao x Impulse Records
The homie Chairman Mao just posted his newest mix for RBMA radio over at Egotrip, what he describes as " an autumnal soundtrack for all y’alls consisting of a few of my favorites from the Impulse Records catalog." Which is all you really need to know in order to sign up, but for those who remain not-knowing, find below a few words about the Impulse legacy below to chew on while you savor the mix.
The illest cat out of Belgium (one assumes) LeFtO's mixes are a steady source of new tunes and artists to watch (cf. our recent First Look on Hawk House) mostly because they're so damn eclectic. His selection seems to be driven by some kind of faded algorithim which computes that if you like Tyler, The Creator, maybe you would also like Four Tet? Or this new remix of the Owiny Sigoma Band. Which suits our faded ears just fine, because in fact, we do. And we would. Stream below and scroll down for the tracklist:
