There have been so many notable new releases that dropped in the past week that music lovers have plenty of great, new music to keep them busy, and which explains partly why we're late with this post (this week's releases will be posted soon, but first the really good stuff). While January is usually a [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

If 2012 is really the apocalypse, we'll at least be serenaded by lots of great music as our world goes up in flames. Yes, it's another great week of new releases filled with KEXP favorites, new and old. In fact, we've long been fans of Nada Surf , who return with their sixth album this week, which according to our Music Director, Don Yates, "finds them injecting some welcome additional energy and aggression into their melodic pop-rock sound via quicker tempos and some bristling electric guitar lines." Fans needn't fear that the New York band is trying to recapture [...]
The last six months has seen a lot of awesome material from Jensen Sportag . Austin Wilkinson and Elvis Craig hail from Nashville and together make this impressive duo known only as Jensen Sportag. For Binary fans, their soundcloud page is just hit after hit. Namely, their remix of Memory Tapes' "Wait in the Dark" as well as their EP, "Pure Wet" were released in succession this summer and earned them some well deserved fame in the blogosphere. Their remix of Teeel's "Ojai Valley" caught my eye as well. Always good to see your hometown repped somwhere no matter [...]
Madi Diaz is based in Nashville, but her sound is anchored in pop music. This bright young star on the rise has a new album full of catchy melodies.
Over the past couple of years, Nashville-based retro electro duo Jensen Sportag have produced a pretty impressive body of work, including last year's Pure Wet EP , which earned them rave reviews from The Guardian and The Fader amongst many others. With their contemporary take on 80s music, Elvis Craig and Austin Wilkinson create immaculate electropop, driven by propulsive basslines and pristine beats. Jensen Sportag - Jareaux (Club Sportag Version) To add to their growing popularity, Jensen Sportag have produced a string of amazing remixes [...]
Como habitual, fica por cá o resumo do que de mais importante se passou na minha página alternativa do Facebook. A primeira semana de 2012 esteve recheada de coisas muito boas, marcando logo o seu início com um tema dos The Black Keys, "Dead and Gone", numa espécie de alusão ao fim do ano de 2011. De seguida fiz a agulha para o outro lado do mundo com os neo-zelandeses Avalanche City e "
Here we are, the very last mix of the year. December has been a great month for tunes, we've blogged about tons of new releases, but we know it's hard to keep track of everything, so here are our favorites from this past month in a neat little bundle. This month features tons of R&B vocals, spaced out instrumentals, and two rap interludes. Have a safe and happy new year, and enjoy the jams! Tracklist: AlunaGeorge - "We Are Chosen" The [...]

Madi Diaz + Jensen Sportag "We took the vocals gently by the hand and swept them away, to a private, plastic dream made just for them, where they could try being another version of themselves, a... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
Jensen Sportag have served up a sweet X-Mas gift in the form of a deep DiscoPop reMix of Nashville singer/songwriter duo Madi Diaz 's 'Trust Fall'. Jensen Sportag's reMix is so smooth it is borderline Yacht. Layering some nice thick Moog Funk for the bass with some serious maritime chord work and wicked Disco licks seems to morph the track into a classy mid-'80's yuppie dancefloor number. This is a track for smokey city nights or sunsets on deck. I'll take either really, it's fine. ♫ Madi Diaz [...]
This is the sexiest. Reminds me of dailybeatz about a year ago, when this kind of stuff (well, a tiny bit more disco-ish) was our mainstay. This one is slightly more 90s RnB than our former bread and butter, but either way, you can't really say you still want to save a space for the Holy Spirit with this one. This Jensen Sportag rework of Madi Diaz 's "Trust Fall" kinda makes me want it to be summer the most ever. Sadly, the official start of winter is still 2 days away, but we can still close [...]
With their debut album due out next year via Cascine Records, Nashville natives Jensen Sportag have revealed their glossy, down-tempo, utterly irresistible remix of Madi Diaz 's original folksy number 'Down We Go'. Built around Diaz's beautifully delicate voice, classic 80s slow grooves are permeated by chiming synths, twanging guitars, low crawling bass lines and down right sexy, breathy moans.
Cover artwork by www.bigactive.com/ Singer-songwriter Madi Diaz grew up in Lanacaster, Pennsylvania. Now based in Nashville, Diaz is releasing a new album on January 24th called Plastic Moon produced by John Alagia. She'll be performing at Johnny Brenda's on Thursday, January 19th. The Nashville dance/electronica duo Jensen Sportag recently remixed Madi'a "Down We Go" from her forthcoming record and gave it a post-disco 19802s R&B Shalamar-esque kind of twist. Their "Trust Fall (Down We Go) remix premiered at The Fader [...]
With the year wrapping up, Kat and I have been hard at work trying to get our top lists down on digital paper. Because we've been so busy, a couple great tracks may have slipped through this week. Don't fret, that's why we have the weekend playlist! Definitely make sure you check out Lenno's Wombats remix at the bottom, been on repeat for a couple days. The Photographic - "Secure" (Amtrac Remix) One of Amtrac's more relaxed remixes to date, this one will fit just right on your Sunday playlist. [...]

If you can't tell everyone I post is my "favorite", but I truly mean it with Jensen Sportag . These guys really know how to set the mood, they must truly be making love while they write cause I don't know how so much sensuality can ooze out of anyones pores. 802s New Romanticism and 902s R&B had a lovechild and they named it Jensen Sportag. They completely worked magic with Madi Diaz, her voice really shines and pierces the soul. These Tennessee lovers are going to be big, their promising original work and remixes have [...]
