Got a ton of stuff for tomorrow’s R&B Friday, so I’ll let loose a bonus track from Posner’s recently-released debut album. It’s a pretty decent track, following on from Mike’s (new) sound of pop/electro crossover. If I’m brutally honest, I wish he’d stuck with the pop-alternative hybrid that he initially emerged with, as I feel this electro influence makes him sound a little more generic than he should be.
It’s a good song though, don’t get me wrong, I just think he won’t be truly excellent unless he goes back to the style he broke through with.
Mike Posner-Another Love Song
I REALLY need to remember to do these. I prepare them all week, setting up playlists and filtering songs, but come Friday I end up being massively distracted and completely forget all my hard work.
You’ll forgive me after the click though, of that I’m sure. I’ve made sure all the big hitters are involved in this milestone episode. Don’t believe me? Prepare to look (even more) like a fool.

Really, really looking forward to the debut album from Mike. This track shows just how refined his sound is becoming, with this one being a pretty slowed down jam with those alternative flashes that make this guy’s music so difficult to categorise!
This track comes with some big production credentials too, having been helmed by Bruno Mars and The Smeezingtons. They do a great job on blending soft, futuristic tones with slightly edgy guitars to create a fusion that works well with Posner’s unique vocals. Could have easily headlined R&B Friday, but I’ve gotta let this one go sooner than that: Commence grabbing below.
Mike Posner-Bow Chicka Wow Wow
A new leak from Mike Posner’s upcoming debut album, 31 Minutes To Takeoff. Another quality track from Mike, it’s pretty safe to say that I’m really looking forward to this album dropping, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Mike Posner’s voice and electro-production go together like a bow and arrow.
Mike Posner – Please Don’t Go
As dropped on his twitter, Mike Posner shares with us the artwork for his upcoming album, 31 Minutes To Takeoff - which is set to drop August 10th.
Loved the original to this, although I personally preferred the version he chose to make a video for, anyway it’s great to see rappers take on supremely talented songs made by Mike Posner! Sure, I’d rather someone held with more esteem when it comes to lyrical ability on this, but Jim Jones does a decent job, changing his flow to suit the track. Go grab the download below.
Mike Posner – Cooler Than Me (remix) ft. Jim Jones
Posner releases the visuals for his latest single, which is actually the Gigamesh remix of Cooler Than Me from the One Foot Out The Door mixtape. The video is decent enough, and fits the track pretty well, with a range of party scenes and some valuable face-time for Mike.
With regard to the audio, I did prefer the original Cooler Than Me from his first (and now quite rare) mixtape, A Matter of Time, but this version is still likeable.

This is a definite must-have for fans of electro, dance, uptempo and even dubstep music. This is a 53-track (!) mixtape made up of short tracks (only 2/3 are over 2mins long) which are mainly comprised of electro remixes of hip-hop tracks. There is a lot of variety though, with artists ranging from Wiley, Trey Songz and Crookers to Drake, La Roux, Rusko and many more.
Definitely something worth throwing on in a party rotation. If you’re using it for that purpose, you can actually download the whole thing as one long track, which is probably the best way to listen to it. For those of you who want it seperated, that version is below too.

In what can best be described as a fitting coincidence given the retrospective nature of this particular post, 2009 was very much a year of hindsight. I rediscovered artists I’d neglected, I discovered artists who I’d simply ignored, but most importantly I began to see the fundamental flaw in my appreciation of music (especially hip-hop) and how I probably got it wrong.
Don’t make the same mistakes. Click on to grab some unmissable tracks, and of course my discoveries from the year gone by. I’ve thrown in a couple of lists too, as I know some of you can’t deal with excess reading.

Mike Posner drops his long-awaited first official video, for the track that’s steadily gaining heat: Drug Dealer Girl. Those of you who’ve followed Mike along with myself will be very familiar with this track, from his first mixtape almost a year ago.
It’s a great track, and a testament to his rising buzz that he managed to get Rosa Acosta to play the lead role in the video. Hopefully this will give him that final boost into the public eye.
Cheers to Nikul for spotting this one!

Hey Champ put an electro spin on Mike Posner’s Cooler Than Me, from his debut mixtape A Matter of Time. Pretty decent remix and worth grabbing.

Episode 3 of Mike Posner’s web series has dropped on the heels of his mixtape release. This episode has a look at the making of the mixtape.
Despite being unable to move from my bed, here goes my second brilliant post of the day. Posner’s latest mixtape has been dropped, and is worth picking up for fans of any style of music. His first mixtape, released in March, was unlike anything I’d ever heard before (and you can pick it up for free from iTunes here), so it will be interesting to see how he has progressed. UPDATE: This mixtape is absolutely awesome. Everyone needs to own this.

Episode 2 of Mike Posner’s new web series, and definitely worth a watch.
Episode 1 of One Foot Out The Door for you all to enjoy, after the trailer we brought you on Monday.
Pretty nice video here to kick off Monday. It’s a trailer for Posner’s upcoming web series, as well as the upcoming mixtape.
It’s only just over a minute long so is worth watching, especially as the new song in the background sounds awesome!
