MIXTAPE: JAGWAR MA - THE FADER MIXTAPE
CommentI am so in love with Jagwar Ma - again Australia is producing some on the best indie dance pop and electro music on the planet - and these guys are killing it.

Jagwar Ma has produced a mixtape for The FADER which you can stream above, it's amazing..... listen and love......
ALBUM STREAM: SWIMM - FEEL EP
CommentBrand spanking new music today kids! SWIMM - they come from Florida/California and I am jumping for joy over their amazingness! Today they released their Feel EP which you can stream above! SWIMM has manifested a shoegaze-influenced sound on Feel EP that contains acoustic, gauzy tracks with an intimacy that will draw you in like “Darkness of Love”, as well as breezy, danceable songs like “Feels”. I smell a bay area show coming soon, because I know things! Stay tuned and grab this as a free download, or if you choose to, go buy this fantastic EP HERE!

NEW VIDEO: SPLASHH - ALL I WANNA DO
CommentI have been talking about Splashh for the better part of a year now, and never once have they given me a reason to stop talking about them - I think they're fucking brilliant! Watching this baby band from London grow has been awesome! They are finally on tour in the states......right now! Next week Splashh will be in San Francisco at Brick & Mortar on April 30, I would not miss this one bay area! Check out their new video for "All I Wanna Do" and pre-order their debut record Comfort HERE!
NEW MUSIC: CLASSIXX - ALL YOU'RE WAITING FOR
CommentClassixx is back with another banger! "All You're Waiting For" reaches every expectation one could have for a Classixx track - funky booty shaking disco goodness! It's hard to believe this Los Angeles based electro duo is about to release their debut record Hanging Gardens on May 14 - I fell like they have been around forever, like good friends you like to BBQ and drink beer with, easy going and fun to be around. Classixx are sure to be your good friends too, so check out the track and then buy the record kids!
NEW MUSIC: JOSEF SALVAT - HUSTLER
CommentAlright, alright everyone just calm down! There is so much buzz about London based Australian pop artist Josef Salvant that we don't want to overwhelm everyone! I am gonna be real pissed if this guy gets gobbled up by the media and spit out to a pile of over hype madness! He's good, he's really fucking good, let him become great! With just 2 singles released and only just played his first live show ever, if the buzz doesn't kill Josef Salvant we can expect great things! New single "Hustler" is so beautiful..... stream it above!
NEW MUSIC: MESSRS - RUNNING WILD
CommentWhen I hear the words "new music from Australian dance pop band" i pretty much start to salivate! This is a new one for me too, just came across them and I am now a happy girl! Messrs are from Adelaide, and even tho they share the same hometown as the ever growing popular band Atlas Genius, their sound is geared more toward a cross of City Calm Down and Mitzi. This new single "Running Wild" is awesome, I'm totally dancing! Messrs are currently touring Australia in support of this new single, and I can't wait to see what's next!
