Roc Nation‘s Reflex presents his Reflex 10 Vol. 1 mixtape and a breakdown of the songs that are in heavy rotation for him this week.

1. Haim “Falling” – “One of my favorite new bands, Haim keeps making fun quality music that has a huge buzz around town.”

2. Daft Punk “Random Access Memories” (Dream Logic Remix/L’ordre Cover) – “It’s kind of dangerous territory to remix a Daft Punk record before the official single drops but this remix left the snippet that D.P. dropped on us pretty well intact and the L’ordre cover of it is pretty funky. Can’t wait for this Daft Punk album.”

3. Disclosure ft. AlunaGeorge “White Noise” – “I’m really digging Disclosure’s production and throwback mentality on the tracks. Here’s another groovy tune.”

4. Les Sins “Grind” !2 inch – “Some easy listening funky soul house and ultimately just DOPE!”

5. Dillon Francis ft. Simon Lord “Messages” – “Dillon is becoming a favorite producer of mine with key remixes for Justin Timberlake and such, he always seems to be a step ahead of the curve in electronic music.”

6. Scoop Deville “Let’s Make Babies” – “Scoop now famous for his flip of Janet Jackson‘s “Anytime Anyplace” for Kendrick Lamar‘s “Poetic Justice” smash, continues to beat up samples for infectious beats. He takes on Prince on this track. He sent me so much dope stuff it was hard to choose what to feature in this mix.”

7. AWOL Nation ft. Kendrick Lamar “Sail” (Remix) – “Big record, BIG remix! Good to hear Kendrick on records that are out of the hip-hop norm.”

8. Atlas Genius “Trojans” (Xaphoon Jones Remix) – “I’m a tad late on this cool remix that Chiddy Bang‘s Xaphoon Jones produced for the massive tune of Atlas Genius, great remix!”

9. Beyonce “Bow Down” – “Hit Boy produced and Beyonce goes off, easy choice!”

10. Trishes “Theme from 808” – “I’m a sucker for 808s and soul samples always, just when I thought I couldn’t like any more abuse of Roger and Zapp songs one Rodney O sample gets me back into it!”
