Two of our favorite artists join forces once more for yet another collaborative effort that is amazingly even better than the sum of its parts. After such brilliant tracks as "Moth" and "Ego" (the latter also featuring Thom Yorke), Burial and Four Tet fuse their unique signature sounds on "Nova" which you can stream below. Hoping for a 12" release soon, probably on Four Tet's Text imprint.
Four Tet recently dropped in on London's Rinse FM and played a two hour mix for the audience, you can head on over here to listen to the entire thing if you didn’t catch it the first time around and you should cause you will be better for it!
A while back we posted the dub version of Floating Points track "Sais" which was later featured on Four Tet's Fabric Mix. Now you can watch the music video for the jazzier original created with a max/msp graphical generator that recognizes drum and synth elements in the track. You can also preview what looks to be an excellent jazzy-tech EP entitled "Shadows" by Floating Points below, which will be releasing on Eglo Records on the 21st of this month:
On October 31st Caribou, under his Daphni monicker, will be releasing "Ahora" on Amazing Sounds. The track is founded around an organic techno shuffle similar to Four Tet's latest sounds, but with a subtle eastern influence (listen close) enhancing the characteristic bleeps as well as a hair raising synth croon that is essentially the chorus. Listen to "Ahora" and its remix by Margot below:
Red Cup is proud and extremely excited to announce that on the 28 and 29 of October we will be in France in order to cover the now sold out Pitchfork Festival in Paris at the Grande Hall de la Villette.

We're particularly excited about Aphex Twin, Four Tet, Cut Copy, Washed Out, Lykke Li, Pantha du Prince, as well as Purity Ring who will be performing at the recently announced after party (FYI: tickets for the warm up and after parties are still available).
We've been timely and on the ball with the separate 12" releases of all these excellent remixes of tracks from Radiohead's latest album The King of Limbs. Now you can stream them all together below, plus some extras, in light of the digital release of the collection "TKOL 1234567" on October 11. Enjoy the Jamie xx, SBTRKT, Shed, Modeselektor, Lone and Four Tet remixes and more:
As we had tipped you off last month, the latest and 59th installment if the prestigious Fabric live series belongs to none other than the versatille and prolific Four Tet. The mix includes such Red Cup favorites as Burial, Ricardo Villalobos, Floating Points, as well as some exclusive tracks by Four Tet himself (full tracklist after the jump). As with most of Four Tet's mixes, this one is journey which meanders into many different directions - just the kind of genre bending we love here at Red Cup. Listen to the entire mix thanks to Self Titled magazine directly at their soundcloud link here or check out the short promo video below:
Four Tet dropped by the WNYU radio program Beats In Space this week to play a two hour mix, featuring his brand new remix for “Tinariwen”, alongside tracks from T. Williams, Joy Orbison, and Juk Juk, a new artist signed to his Text imprint. Also premiered on the mix is a track titled “Pyramid”, the b-side to Four Tet’s upcoming “Locked” single. Tim Sweeney also does an interview with Four Tet in the early part of the mix, where the artist discusses his recent remix projects, moving to New York, , and some of the upcoming releases in the works for Text.
The time has finally come for Red Cup to take a 2 week break and do some much needed Greek island hopping. Times are tough - sprits and budgets are low, yet when the sun and the volume are high everything seems better. Therefore, we couldn't leave without something special for those who have stopped by and supported Red Cup thus far.
Here it is, our first (in a series?) of summer mixtapes intended to keep you company at the beach, on the way to the beach, on the way home from the beach etc. In the true spirit of our blog, the mix crosses all genres of electronic music but is cohesive in its summeriness. We hope this will hold you over until we get back.
Thank you for your support and see you again in two weeks. Until then, may your cup be red and half-full. Listen to or download the Red Cup Summer Mix Vol. 1below:
