Don Rimini's "Whatever" is one of the most deliciously filthy songs we've had the pleasure to hear all year. Not just for the lyrics (which, honestly, are only mildly NSFW, although your mom definitely won't like them much—nor your sister, for that matter). It's the whole dang package, from the hoover bass to the piano stabs to the voices bubbling in the background. Pure acid-house mayhem delivered with a contemporary touch. Now the song gets a dazzling visual accompaniment courtesy directors Lionel Hirlé and Grégory Ohrel, who have come up with a style that might be termed gangsta surrealism. Whatever you call it, it's great, colorful fun. "Whatever" is out now on Don Rimini's NLarge Your Parties EP, courtesy the always reliable Mental Groove.

Ahead of the release of the fourth Cottam 12-inch, the UK producer lets GetDownGood in on his tried-and-trusted method of making red Thai curry paste.

What’s truly wish-worthy? Is it a manuscript paper notebook? An iPhone app? A glitched-out hardware effect? A DAW? A sample library? A CD or book?

Before we put together some of our own suggestions for this year’s gift guide, we want to hear from you. You can add to your own wish list. You can add something you’ve gotten yourself you think someone else – or even a beginner – might want themselves. If you make something you want people to know about, be you a large vendor or garage maker, you can pitch us here, too.

There’s only one requirement: this year I’m absolutely looking for practicality. Sure, someone leaving a restore Buchla 100 Series modular with a bow on it would be nice, but there are too many terrific affordable choices to fail to focus on those. Be aware I’ll be skimming lots of answers, too, so get your elevator pitch right or find a snappy few words as a headline if you want our attention.

Space Is Only Noise - the debut album of wunderkid producer Nicolas Jaar has finally got a release date of February next year. Released via Circus Company, the album is perhaps one of the most highly anticipated electronic releases of next year, and marks only his second release with the label after a clutch of singles, remixes and one EP on Wolf + Lamb.

With his recent compilation Inès (available as limited Tin Box USB stick and download) of his own Clown & Sunset label receiving some serious love (including from us - see our next issue of Electronic Beats Magazine), we think that this marks the point where Jaar goes from underground hero to global superstar. Of sorts.

FILTER likes music. There's no hiding it. We also like our own opinions a whole bunch, so once a week we give the masses a fleeting glimpse into our selective stereos to let them see firsthand what fuels our endless devotion. We like to think of it as community service. We're selfless like that. So without further ado, here are the official, inarguable, objectively good Filter Weekly Picks. And in case you trust our tastes that much, click on the links below for some sample tracks (not all releases have samples available) from these releases, and even buy it if you feel so inclined. Yeah, we're good at what we do:

Just in case you were feeling a little too jazzed up today, here is a very sleepy and light tune by Memoryhouse.

"Heirloom" is a super lofty tune by the dream-pop outfit and the video matches the tune accordingly. The clip features people running around a burning bus, girls looking very intently into the camera and fireworks!
