Friendly Fires – “Skeleton Boy” (YouTube) New video for “Skeleton Boy” — Friendly Fires just gets better and better.

Polymorphic recently gained some attention with his remix of The Proxy’s- “The Raven” on Tiga’s Turbo Label. Now it’s time for an original track titled “Technomusic”. It’s being released on the Coco Machete label, and is seriously some heavy shit. This track is dark and gloomy has elements of industrial that has me flash backing [...]

Woah, Mickey Gang makes me feel old — “Born In The 90′s” is their choice track and the lyrics kinda position them as Brazil’s answer to The Teenagers. Track says demo but I hope it doesn’t change too much in its final version because there’s something special just the way it is: [Audio clip: view [...]

After showering Metronomy and The Twelves with love, Bacardi B-Live is back with a new release for Groove Armada. The full release will be available January 20th but we have special sneak peak with The Twelves remix. The Twelves apply their Midas touch and turn “Drop The Tough” into a crazy disco track. Total party. [...]

New Empire of the Sun video — shot on location in music video hotspot: MEXICO. Crazzzzy but so Empire of the Sun. Directed by Josh Logue of Mathematic.

Munk – “Rat Race” New Munk video for “Rat Race” — wonderful video collage with a kinda funny moment that brings it all together at the end.

Aw man, Zeigeist has a little video teaser up of their “Neverending Love” EP — can we say can’t wait? Jade Motel was easily one of my favorite albums of 2008, but unfortunately it seemed to go by the wayside for most people. “Neverending Love” EP will feature two new tracks and that remix of [...]

KillaQueenz made a bit of a bit of a splash with their ‘remake’ of Gameboy/Gamegirl’s “Dirty Wet” this past Summer — well the ladies are back with their second single on Sweat It Out. “Bitches” is backed with remixes by Zombie Disco Squad, South Rakkas Crew and Yolando Be Cool… the Yolando Be Cool techy [...]

Man Like Me – “Single Dad” (YouTube) Man Like Me has a new video for all you single dads out there. We know it ain’t easy :(

Boss in Drama, the artist formerly known as Bo$$ in Drama (retag your iTunes now), sent through the first song from his debut EP that’ll be released for free on January 26th though his MySpace. “Favorite Song” is what we can expect from the Boss… a catchy, non stop party track that really pushes the [...]

We first posted some Jeppe solo stuff back in April of last year — you may remember that Jeppe is 1/2 of the now defunct Junior Senior. Well his solo career is slowly building steam, and he’s just released a remix of his track “Big Boy” by none other than Ssion. Jeppe and Ssion on [...]

Two of my favorite acts from Brazil teamed up for a cover of Digitalism’s “Pogo” — and Database and MONO4 do the track justice. Perfect blend of the two bands styles. “Pogo” was one of those tracks that was maybe remixed one too many times and by the end of it all it became too [...]

The Sound of Arrows – M.A.G.I.C. (Mini-video) from The Sound of Arrows Aw, unicorns and other imagery that reminds me of my childhood. No choice but to love The Sound of Arrows. But with the song title “M.A.G.I.C.” and a catchy childrens choir, I’m not sure if i”M.A.G.I.C.” is a nod to a certain Parisian [...]

Franz Ferdinand – “Ulysses” (YouTube) Been anxiously waiting for the return of Franz Ferdinand for how many years?.. “Ulysses” is a nice homecoming.

If Little Boots and La Roux represent opposite ends of a spectrum then Marina & The Diamonds falls somewhere safely in the middle. There’s a quirkiness that Marina shares with La Roux but relaxes on some serious songwriting akin to Little Boots — all three share some solid pop sensibilities. Yeah, comparing apples and oranges [...]

We’ve posted a few CFCF remixes over the years — but the talented remixer isn’t limited to remixes. CFCF will be releasing his first EP, “Panesian Nights”, on Paperbag Records this January. If “Crystal Mines” is any indication of what we can expect then we’re in for a treat — [Audio clip: view full post [...]

Fever Ray – “If I Had a Heart” (YouTube) Fever Ray’s video for “If I Had a Heart” owned me for four minutes and five seconds. Very special. Directed by Andreas Nilsson, this is a total masterpiece. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Fever Ray – “If I Had a Heart” If you missed [...]
