Supreme Cuts have been circulating in my radar ever since their sick Holy Other remix (mp3) caught my ears on Holy Other's incredible mix for Altered Zones a few months back. Since then I've been trying to track down whatever I can by them. The Chicago-based (check the Jordan nail-job above) duo term their sound as "future R&B" so you know I'm all over it. They make vocal-sample heavy dance music that is simply gorgeous. They have tight beats and ecstatic breaks but keeps things laid back with pretty vocal samples and tons of melodic flourishes. A little over a week ago they released their first EP entitled Trouble on Small Plates Records. You can grab the vinyl there. Digital release is available on iTunes. And you will need to know this info after you hear the beautiful, detailed tracks below.
Listen to "Issues", my favorite song by them so far. It uses sliced and sped-up soul vocals and amazing snare-rush builds to approximate bliss pretty accurately.

"Amnesia", another cut from the EP has precise hand-clap and glass bottle percussion underneath distorted and chopped vocal samples, and an insane beat.

And check "Fools" out too. Which rocks an extended moment of R&B ecstacy.

Grab awesome the non-EP track "Jacy", which is sexy, mournful and so, so good.

There's also this insane remix of Enigma's "Return to Innocence" which turns the New Age classic into a scewed-down brain massage. Shout out to Claire for being up on the same New Age game.

And listen to/download their fabulous "Significant Other Mix" which mixes R&B, screwed hip-hop and post-dubstep beats with deadly efficiency. Shout out to Joanclair for calling Kelly Rowland's "Motivation" as one of the hottest tracks right now. Supreme Cuts agree.

1. Jagged Edge- Forever My Girl (Supreme Cuts Edit)
2. Falsetto- The Dream
3. Motivation- Kelly Rowland
4. Far Nearer- Jamie xx
5. Papa New Guinea- FSOL
6. If I Ever fall in Love (Remix)- Shai
7. Don’t Go There- Bad Bwoy Beatz
8. Heartbroken- T2
9. Rare Tap (2000 and One Cut)- Sandy Hunter
10. Shorty Swing My Way- KP & Envy
11. I’m Shady (Chopped & Screwed)- Eminem
12. Xs and Os (Supreme Cuts Edit)- Jeremiah
13. Jacy- Supreme Cuts
Finally here's another mix from them that was just posted a few days ago. They continue to bring it with screwed and stuttered R&B madness but add some madness to the mix with some juke and (current Bjork collaborator Omar Souleyman). Pump up any party you are at instantly. I mean, they have "I Got the Hook-Up" by Master P on there too. SO RAD. I love them.
