Based on their music, the members of UK duo Kid Gloves don’t seem like particularly violent individuals. Nevertheless, just a few weeks after quietly releasing their debut EP, Bare Knuckle, via Fool’s Gold, they’ve unveiled a new podcast of fight-themed tunes called Lovers Not Fighters. Apparently, the Kid Gloves dudes spend their days making tunes for pop starlets like VV Brown, Ladyhawke, and Little Boots, but we honestly don’t care too much about that. It’s the pair’s own energetic, loop-heavy disco-house that gets our hearts racing. As for the mix, Kid Gloves has managed to include Four Tet and Todd Edwards alongside Talking Heads, The Cure, and The Isley Brothers. Download the mix here; we’re not sure if it’s supposed to build or relieve tension, but we can’t argue with the tracklist, which is posted below.

Whoever supposed that technology can do nothing for street art must not have an iPhone yet. Released today, Kreuzberg is a short film and photo essay created by San Francisco-based artist, film director, curator, The Sads singer/guitarist, and integral part the Beautiful Losers exhibit/book/film Aaron Rose, and made entirely on an iPhone 4. The multi-talented man was commissioned by tech-gear outfitter Incase to make three short pieces throughout a few international locales, using only the built-in HD camera on the smart phone. The three-minute Kreuzberg is the first of those films. Apparently, it is a tribute to Brian Eno and David Bowie (who recorded Bowie’s Berlin trilogy there), and features black-and-white footage shot around parts of the city, a couple of monologues in both English and German, and a fairly lo-fi electronic soundtrack. You can watch Aaron Rose’s short film below, and learn more about the artist and his project here.

One of London’s premiere post-dubstep outfits Mount Kimbie just announced it will release a follow-up to its widely acclaimed debut album, Crooks and Lovers.

Berlin beat maestro and Jahcuzzi member Robot Koch has just made yet another splash in 2010 with the release of his brand-new full-length record, Songs for Trees and Cyborgs. The producer’s 14-track LP just dropped on the Project: Mooncircle label, and follows the Death Star Droid Remix EP and Listen to Them Fade 12″ he released earlier this year on the same imprint. Songs also features contributions from the likes of Doshy, Boxcutter, and Graciela Maria, among others. And let’s not forget about the split release Robot Koch is dropping tomorrow on Friends of Friends along with Mexicans with Guns, Friends of Friends Vol. 3. You can check out more about that record here, and get all the info on Koch’s Songs for Trees and Cyborgs album here.

This one sort of slipped under our radar before we were off for the weekend: Skull Disco and Apple Pips acolyte Appleblim dropped this well-crafted and eclectic mix of tunes for UK dance-music hub Burlington Project. The podcast is a great mix of slick, grooving dancefloor numbers from all appropriate niche genres within the electronic music spectrum, though we can’t say whose songs appear exactly, as there is no tracklist available. Try to decipher the spacey jams yourself when you listen to Appleblim’s mix here.
