It’s only spring but I think I’ve already found the song of the summer. You would never guess this is SIREN’s debut single! I foresee huge things for this LA duo. The track is just too ridiculously well put together. So fresh, so effortless and so addictive. ‘I think I like you but it’s complicated’ - just try to not hit repeat.
WUNDER WUNDER - COASTLINE
Music, Original MixCommentLA based Australians writing music together….Wunder Wunder.....so good. Acoustic guitars meet bubbly synthesizers. Airy vocals meet blissed out grooves. Everything coalesces into a sonic dreamscape that makes me want to pause and breath in the sunshine. Wunder Wunder may just a baby band now, but with tracks this it won’t stay that way for long. Single out now via Dovecote/Shock.
ALEX METRIC & OLIVER - HOPE
Music, Original MixCommentEver since MYB blew up everything, anything with Oliver’s name on it has been must-listen material. Their newest with Alex Metric pairs throwback piano stabs and 90’s house with modern electro swing and is the perfect song to dance away the week too. Look for more ‘future-house’ when Alex Metric’s Hope EP drops April 22 via OWSLA/Big Beat
HAIM - IF I COULD CHANGE YOUR MIND (THE KNOCKS REMIX)
CommentThe Knocks have done it again. Danielle Haim’s vocals fit beautifully into a tropical groove so infectious it could only be The Knocks. It’s like a disco-rollercoaster that I never want to get off. Good luck not hitting the replay button. The best part, it’s a free download!!
HAERTS - CALL MY NAME
CommentLast year HAERTS left the whole internet buzzing with their debut EP ‘Hemiplegia’ and single ‘Wings’. Now HAERTS are back, they’re self-produced (their previous music was produced by Jean-Philip Grobler aka St. Lucia) and they’re better than ever. They’ve smoothed out their harder edges, sprinkled in a dose of heartbreak and crafted a dream-pop classic. Be on the look for their thus far unannounced full length debut.
SAFIA - PARANOIA, GHOSTS & OTHER SOUNDS
CommentWhat would it sound like if Sam Smith fronted an Australian version of Sir Sly ..... Safia! Their latest single "Paranoia, Ghosts & Other Sounds" vocalist Ben Woolner’s R&B crooning soars effortlessly over the tracks twists and turns as it builds from a funkified slow-burner to a glorious climax. It really doesn’t get better than Safia. Grab it now as a free download!
THE KNOCKS - SAVIOR (FEAT. WES MILES OF RA RA RIOT)
CommentFor The Knocks latest single they’ve teamed up with Ra Ra Riot singer Wes Miles to craft a slow-burning dance track, perfectly suited for an interstellar after-hours disco. The Knocks continue to prove that not only do they craft delicious remixes, they write fantastic original songs. If this single is any indication of what to expect from their Comfortable EP - out TODAY via Neon Gold - then it's going to be bananas! Download the Comfortable EP via iTunes HERE!
PS - That interstellar after-hours disco is happening at The Green Room in Austin in March!!
PLASTIC PLATES - STAY IN LOVE (FEAT. SAM SPARRO)
CommentForget chocolates and flowers, the perfect Valentines Day present was new Plastic Plates music. Felix Bloxsom and Sam Sparro pair beautifully to create an elated wave of feel good dance music. There’s not much to say, this track is so good it speaks for itself.
REMIX: CHROMEO - COME ALIVE (LE YOUTH REMIX)
CommentLe Youth is everything I love about nu disco. All his tracks sound like they were co-written by George Clinton in 2020 and it’s fantastic. This new remix is no exception. Chromeo’s "Come Alive" provides the perfect foundation for Le Youth’s dancy reimagination. For fans of C O O L or Chromeo this track isn’t one to miss. Actually for anyone with ears this track isn’t one to miss!
