N.A.S.A. - Gifted

The DJ duo N.A.S.A. invites major acts such as David Byrne, Kanye West, Lykke Li, and Santogold to perform in studio hip-hop mixes. Rather than simply mixing the finished products, N.A.S.A. produces music that sounds premixed. Their 2009 album Spirit of Apollo packs many surprises, my favorite being Kanye West's contribution on Gifted. Overall, great indie-hiphop.
