The Key favorites Givers get a fun, electro-pop treatment from Brazilian group CSS in this remix of their summer breakout single "Up Up Up." The remix takes the already dynamic song to an impossibly danceable level. CSS, or Cansei de Ser Sexy, literally translates to mean "got tired of being sexy," but there's definitely nothing sleepy about this track (via Stereogum ).

We get sent so much great music to us here at GFP HQ and we've always been frustrated that we don't have time to cover more of the wonderful songs/albums/bands we get sent on a daily basis. In an attempt to counter this annoying fact, we've devised this simple and terribly-named new feature. In short, each week we will post up streams of a few of our favourite new songs that have surfaced over those seven days. Sound good? Cool. So let's begin. Kick off your shoes, put your feet up and [...]

Givers have just finished their first UK tour - a short jaunt that felt more like a victory lap than an introduction. Having showed them the sights of London (including such delectable cultural highlights as Dalston's Shacklewell Arms), we thought they might like to return the favour. Here, then, is each of the band members' guide to their favourite parts of their hometown - the impossibly romantic sounding Lafayette, Louisiana. Kirby Scott's Drum Center Scott's drum center is a local Lafayette, LA owned Drum store, [...]

Do you remember 2006? What a fun year, right? I mean Russia did cut natural gas to Ukraine over a price dispute* but CSS came out with their international debut album that made us all 'make love and listen to death from above'. It's now 2011 and the world is very different, even with Obama in charge. It's ok though, CSS are sort of back and they've done a remix of 'Up Up Up' by Givers . That's good right? The original is out on August 1st via Island Records (UK) & Glassnote (US) and is [...]
The lineup for this year's Voodoo Experience music festival in New Orleans has been something we're covering a bit better over at our sister site , LMB NOLA , but if you've been paying attention you know that it's a blast from the past, 19902s style. Headlining this year's festival will be Soundgarden , who've returned to the stage with a reunion this year and nailing the nostalgia thing big-time for our friends over at Coventry Music . Along with that major reunion, this year's festival will welcome Snoop [...]

Last week I posted twelve of my recent favourite tracks , seven of which were by Californians, earning the mixtape the name California Sunrise . It varied from electropop to reggae and soca-infused funk and there's an equal variety to be found in part 2 of the Summer mixtape series. If part 1 was the build-up, then part 2 is the break-down. I've tried to stack this mix with a few more mellow jams on the back-end, to pair with those inevitable late-July lamentations of the "summer's half over already!" variety. Youth Lagoon is a fantastic band name [...]
