SONNYMOON-YES 2 (BEYONCE COVER)

When this remix came up in my Twitter feed I literally did a double check to make sure Beyonce and Sonnymoon were being used in the same sentence. The only musical similarity between each songstress is that they have a strong command of their beautiful voices. But it is true- our favorite dynamic duo, notorious for their amazing covers, has reworked Beyonce’s “Yes” from Ms. Knowles’ debut album. You already know Dane, the production half, put the Sonnymoon stamp on this one. Partake!

TYLER THE CREATOR-SUMMER CAMP MIX #LATEPASS

Alright here is another #latepass guys! Tyler, The Creator put this summertime mix together and tweeted about it. I already knew it would be filled with N.E.R.D., since he’s a self-proclaimed stan, and I was right. But there’s also hella other goodness  (see: Toro y Moi, Grizzly Bear, James Pants, Stevie Wonder) on here that definitely sounds and feels like summertime. You can play this in your car or while you work or whatever. Get into it. The mp3 is too large to stream, but here’s a track from the mix. Full listing after the jump.

Jay-Z, Beyonce and Apple to form super digital record label

Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Steve Jobs: How’s that for a power trio? An inside industry source recently told MOLI that it’s a done deal: Pop’s top couple will move to Apple to run a new music division. It sounds rather incredible: Carter’s already got a pretty good job, running Def Jam, and Jobs may be too smart to get into the tanking recording business (as others have said).

Of course, if it is true, my guess is this would be a new, revamped record biz, one based on digital distribution, not boring old physical products. It certainly speaks volumes about the state and the culture of the music industry, if two artists who have been served well by the current way of doing business are willing to jump ship. Spokespeople for Apple, Shawn Carter, and Def Jam (Mr. Carter’s label) did not return requests for comments. The move would of course follow Paul McCartney’s move from a traditional label, Capitol, to one run by another entity, Starbucks Music. Starbucks started signing artists after establishing a successful retail model through their Hear Music outlets and compilations. Apple has made a similar achievement with iTunes, to say the least. Apple is definitely poaching at least one smart guy from a label: Capitol publicist Jason Roth starts at the technology company July 2. He says he knows nothing about the aforementioned rumors.
