Such a small world sometimes! While in NYC I was at this bar where a friend was playing a DJ set, and I met an old co-worker of his. This old co-worker also had a friend with him - this cool French dude who was still using an iPhone 1, which totally made me want to know him more. We got to talking, we got to drinking, we got to after hours and BOOM!! BFF's forever now!! Anyhow, turns out this guy knows The Penelopes from way back - and somewhere within our music discussions he brough up The Penelopes, I think to try to impress me with something new, and I was like ....... ummmm no - The Penelopes and I go way back!! Remember their awesome BUZZZMIX mixtape from earlier this year?? This new remix of "Hunger Of The Pine" by Alt-J is bananas - The Penelopes kinda rule! Grab this track as a free download!
GEORGE MAPLE - TALK TALK (JACKLNDN REMIX)
CommentOne of the highlights at CMJ this year was George Maple and the fact that Touch Sensitive was playing keys in her band! I digress, she was amazing!! Today London producer JackLNDN dropps this sexy disco filled remix of George Maple's hit single "Talk Talk" and I'm on cloud 9! JackLNDN has been slaying the remix game, and this one is a gem! Grab this track as a free download!
LE YOUTH - R E A L
CommentOver the past year this legend and I have become fast friends. Le Youth slays in like one million different ways. He's funky as fuck, super chill, gets deep and dirty during live sets, and is pretty easy on the eyes! I mean, I have seen girls physically swoon - or fall over - while in his presence! Le Youth and I have raged in 4 cities, and we always seem to have the best time ever! I love this kid more than most, and that's why I'm stoked for his new track "R E A L" which everyone should get into immediately!
WHITE ARROWS - WE CAN'T EVER DIE (VACATIONER REMIX)
CommentHow about some bouncy tropical goodness for your morning?? Vacationer just dropped a new remix of "We Can't Ever Die" by White Arrows. Both bands are amazing, and Vacationer has this way of turning everything they touch into gold! This is dope - listen and love!
TROPICS - BLAME
CommentAwe snap! My first day home from my extended stay in New York - the sun is shining and warm and this California air is sweet! How amazing to hear this new track from our friend Tropics! We first met him at SXSW a few years back when he blessed us with his live set - twice!! "Blame" is from the fourthcoming album Rapture which will be in stores February 17! Get your swoon on - this track is sexy!!
A-TRAK - PUSH FT. ANDREW WATT
CommentThis jetlag situation is crap! Who actually gets up at 7am? I spend one month in NY and all of a sudden I am watching the sunrise and napping in the late afternoon - when all I really want to do is rage! Thanks to A-Trak and his new single Push, I'm totally in the raging mood! I'm not sure about the rest if you, but there is nothing better than a hard 4 on the floor - this track is dripping with funky disco vibes that bring the dance floor to a whole new level! Oh A-Trak ....
ZHU - PARADISE AWAITS (L C A W REMIX)
CommentSo we all know how ZHU is pretty much taking over the electronic world right now - and rightfully so!! He's installing a high lever of faith that people can actually get past the massive EDM madness, and that there is a place for house/tech-house/nu-disco among the big boys! So having L C A W get his hands on "Paradise Awaits" brings us to remix heaven!! This German producer nailed it - so discolicious!! L C A W has been one of my most favorite new discoveries lately - everyone should get into this! Grab as a free download!
