Finalllly a video for one of my favorite (underrated?) releases of 2009, GusGus’ “Thin Ice.” If 24/7 managed to slip past your radar then run over to iTunes and pick it uppp.

Jump Jump Dance Dance + Human Life

February 25th, 2010

Jump Jump Dance Dance’s “Show Me The Night” is more catchy than h1n1… we’ve already been treated to a Grum remix and a trippy video. LA kids Human Life are the latest to catch the fever and have turned out their own remix of the track. They continue on a theme: so easy to love [...]

BigStereo favorites Crayon Fields are coming to the States, and I couldn’t be more excited. They were on the top of my list for best album last year with ‘All the Pleasures of the World’. Go see them play and get ready to be romanticized.

She & Him

She & Him

February 24th, 2010

I love She & Him. Their individual tracks are simply adorable and the duo’s debut full-length – Volume One – tied them all together ever so nicely. Heck, the album dropped nearly two years ago, yet “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?” is still prominently featured in my rotation of uplifting ditties. All this [...]

Yes Giantess + Body Language

Yes Giantess + Body Language

February 23rd, 2010

Body Language’s remix of “Demons” from Yes Giantess sounds like the original played under a highway, where the noise get weaved into the music and become a part of the rhythm. Worn out cassette tapes playing back big pop tracks, not quite chillwave but not quite club — a beautiful healthy mix:

Penguin Prison + Jack Penate

February 22nd, 2010

Penguin Prison is the latest artist to gain support from tastecreator Neon Gold, and given their track record, I’d say you should place your weekly allowance money on this guy. We mentioned Penguin Prison briefly before, mostly to make fun of his name, but the pure strength of his songs is what is propelling this [...]

Ali Love – “Love Harder”
Two new Ali Love goodies for you today –
1) Ali Love’s video for “Love Harder” which was directed by none other than Trevor Jackson. Seems to illustrate meeting that special someone at the club, a hot and steamy cab ride and of course, the moments after.
2) A wonderful remix from Prins [...]

Yes Giantess latest “Ruins” is officially the first track Starsmith has ever produced for anyone other than Ellie Goulding. So as you can expect… big pop gestures in this track. So irresistible. Reminds me a bit of the male counter version to Shannon’s “Let The Music Play” — ha!

Silver Columns + The Time and Space Machine

February 17th, 2010

Silver Columns has been revealed. There was a bit of “mystery” as to who they are and now we can say for sure that they are Adem and Johnny Lynch aka the Pictish Trail. I think everybody kinda “knew” that, but thank god the cat is out of the bag so people can stop focusing [...]

Kingdom + CFCF

February 16th, 2010

Another day, some more CFCF magic — this time an icey take on Kingdom’s “Mindreader” that sounds more like CFCF’s take on late 90’s R&B than late 90’s dance. Not as icy or dark as we’ve heard CFCF but definitely some signatures in this one:
