The Perceptionists "Lemme Find Out (Paten Locke Mix)"


Last week, we previewed the Paten Locke remix project, Low Resolution, which flips choice tracks from The Perceptionists' Resolution LP. This week, we have an official remix from the project to hit you with...for free. On his rework of "Lemme Find Out," Paten finds a way to soundtrack the illest dance party before the end of the universe. Lemme find out he's tucked some gems on this project.

Stream the full remix in full below, and grab it for free via Bandcamp.

The Perceptionists Release New Paten Locke-Produced Single "Bait"


Last year, Akrobatik and Mr. Lif linked back up to reform The Perceptionists. Their album, Resolution, had a few songs produced by Paten Locke, who must have been on one, as he decided to go back in and remix seven of the album's songs. That release, Low Resolution: The Paten Locke Mixes, is eight-tracks long; that's right, the trio got back into the studio and recorded an entirely new song to include with this release. Listen to the track, "Bait," below, then cop Low Resolution when it hits on August 10th.

All The Perceptionists Want Are Some "Dirty Drumz"


Back in 2005, El-P's Definitive Jux imprint released Black Dialogue, the debut album from The Perceptionists, aka a trio comprised of two of my favorite spitters (Mr. Lif and Akrobatik) and DJ Fakts One. While Fakts is no longer in the picture, Lif and Ak are back with a new release, Resolution, which is due out on July 28.

According to their release, the two of them have gone through some insane struggles in the dozen years between this album and the last; Lif survived a tour bus falling off of a 38-foot cliff, while Ak had to deal with open-heart surgery. They made it back to each other and crafted an album that works through their individual issues.

That's not what we're going through today, though; today, we just get some "Dirty Drumz." The Lif-produced track is all about bars, with the two just doing what they do best: spitting over fire beats.

You can grab "Dirty Drumz" for free via Bandcamp, and if you're smart, you'll find some other gems Resolution after the jump.
