I've gone high concept this week, and that is not a reference to this week's cover art which is by my friend Davie Kaufmann. No, I mean there's a gimmick: all the songs on Summer Fridays 4.10 are less than two minutes long. All 33 of them (maybe even 34). With this kind of criteria, we don't really have much in the way of new music (two songs by my count) but quality remains high of course. I've tried to vary it up as much as possible because the bulk of the two-minutes-or-less songs in my collection are of the [...]

I hate that I was not particularly aware of Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs . Everything was there that would point to this being fully ingratiated into my life by now. Awkward looking artist. "Or something". And being on the fucking Greco-Roman Label! Where have I been?! Their roster includes David E. Sugar , Grovesnor and the sex-dream inducing Joe Goddard . So it really only makes sense that I love Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. I knew I knew the name from somewhere, bloody Greco-Roman! There is no suitable and acceptable excuse for this [...]

Focusing point in this remix is still Grovesnor 's Daft Punk-reminiscent vocoder vocal part. What sets the Def Starr remix apart though, is the fact that the original groovy beats, revolving slowly around those vocals, were given that extra push in the back, that pushes you right towards the dancefloor. Meant for dancing slowly obviously. Grovesnor - Turn Your Radio Up (Def Starr Version) (ALT)

Grovesnor is the solo project of Rob Smoughton of Hot Chip. Hot Chip has long been the steady purveyors of smart updates on some cheesy 80s staples done with a sense of fun and wonder. Grovesnor very similarly has created an album that is steeped in late 70s/80s nostalgia, but rather than borrowing heavily from dance conventions he has borrowed heavily from cheesy, mass-produced 80s balladry, and the result is often times very good stuff. It is done tongue in cheek, much as Hot Chip, and certainly never takes itself too seriously, and in that sense it [...]

This is my view right now. I'm on a plane, en route to the Philippines for a month of downtime. Definitely looking forward to spending time with family and friends! I WILL be updating this throughout my stay, regardless of the crappy internet connection we have back home. Australians Def Starr started out as a duo back in 2008. Since then, they've evolved into a trio. Definitely some good stuff from these guys. Two slow burning tracks with some pretty amazing and sexy synths through out both. The Daft Punk remix has been out for awhile. [...]

Usually when I make these mixes, I'm either making the artwork the night before they're supposed to go up or waiting on whichever friend I've conned into doing the artwork for me. Either way, the actual mix is done. Not so this time. My friend Greg sent this to me last week and I built the mix around it. Pretty killer art, I think, clever, and not only screams Summer Fridays but also Sound Bites' food-and-music modus operandi. Definitely one of my favorite covers ever and a call for future mix cover designers to step up their game. This one's definitely on [...]

Filed under: Video , New Music , Exclusive When Hot Chip drummer Rob Smoughton decided to step out front to lead his own band, Grovesnor , he consciously created some guidelines for the music. "I hope that the themes and the stories in my songs feel ageless," Smoughton tells Spinner. "That's what I'm going for." He also confesses to creating Grovesnor as a sort of alter-ego, anti-hero, first-person narrator for his songs, which appear on the band's debut, 'Soft Return.' So when it came time [...]
