The What’s Hot Right Now mixtape series has been a huge hit with IRC’s regular readers and visitors from around the world. It’s been a few weeks since we did a ‘what’s hot’ mixtape. For those of you not familiar with this mixtape series, we analyze a number of aggregate sites – like Hypem.com and Elbo.ws – and our own stats to demonstrate which tracks – whether they are from upcoming or new releases – are the hottest on the web right now.
Chromeo, who we got to see at last weekend’s Outside Lands festival in San Francisco, dominates this list because the demand for their music is ginormous. Also, check out hot new stuff from Royksopp, Arcade Fire, The Vaselines (first new songs in two decades!), No Age, Panda Bear, Small Black and others.
