Alexander Chen is mostly known for his Boy In Static project, which led him to release music on Markus Acher (The Notwist)'s Alien Transistor label as well as tour around the US opening for 13 & God. This time around, Alexander has shed his Boy In Static persona and taken on a new one, The Consulate General. His debut record Person Number came out yesterday on Circle Into Square records. The record features appearances from members of Slowdive, Montag, Sole & The Skyrider Band and Misha. Alexander also has a new EP coming out next month titled What Time Is It Now, which features remixes from Blue Sky Black Death, Lymbyc System & T.H. White. He also has a really awesome website you can check out below.

Sole - "Heartless"

sole - "heartless" (download)

From his brand new "mixtape" Nuclear Winter. Here, Sole puts a new twist on Kanye's "Heartless". Nuclear Winter features various interpretations of popular hits like Rick Ross' "Hustlin", 50 Cent & Justin Timberlake's "Jayo Technology", Biggie's "Juicy" and more, and features guest appearances from Bleubird, Astronautilis, Ceschi Ramos, Solillaquists of Sound, Jared Paul (on the "controversial" track "My President")and J-Swag. This mixtape is technically "free" if you want to be cheap about it, but I'd suggest following this link to go throw a couple of bucks Sole's way for a higher quality download and you can feel good knowing you supported an artist even though you really didn't HAVE to. (Sole and the Skyrider Band also have a brand new record out called Plastique. You can pick up that album right here)
