Australia always seems to get it right. Maybe not in the ground-breaking category. Vance Joy's "Riptide" is pretty standard stuff, but not everyone gets the melody, arrangement and instrumentation right all at once. Usually you only need one shining aspect to end up on the radio . This song is strong in all three. Listen and enjoy below.
If you asked anyone two weeks ago who Vance Joy was, no one would have a clue. However last week saw the release of his debt EP, God Loves You When You're Dancing and he has since generated a huge ... Continue reading

Out today is Vance Joy's debut EP God Loves You When You're Dancing - it is incredible. The Australian neo-folk artist has garnered some hype behind him for a while now and his performances at SXSW this year only accelerated that even more. I've never cared for hype that much, but as long as the music is good I'll put up with it. "Riptide" is only of the single most enjoyable songs I think I've ever heard, it gets underneath your skin and forces some body part to move - whether that's a foot tap or a whole body shake, [...]

Ten phenomenal mixtapes waiting for you. Different styles but there is one thing in common, quality. Get yourself a listen and assure oneself of it. A mixtape or mixed-tape is the generic name given to any compilation of songs recorded onto a Compact Cassette, Compact Disc, music file, or any other audio format. A mixtape, which usually reflects the musical tastes of its compiler, can range from a casually selected list of favorite songs, to a conceptual mix of songs linked by a theme or mood, to a highly personal statement tailored to the tape's intended recipient. Enjoy. [...]
Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you should already be somewhat familiar with Amsterdam's premier dance music showcase: ADE (Amsterdamn Dance Event). With over an astonoshing 1700 different artists from around the globe performing in 75 of the best clubs in Amsterdam, ADE's festival has grown into the world's biggest club festival for the whole spectrum of [...]
We wrote about the producer Amateur , formerly half of Blokgolf, back in March . His latest project is producing fellow Dutch singer Sumera . Brought up in Germany and Spain, and with Caribbean and Portuguese heritage, she's got a pretty multi-faceted background. This might also show in her music, which she says comes from her love for the symbiosis of pop music and electronica. Coming up is the iTunes release of "Bright Lies" together with a free remix package consisting of four remixes. We're premièring the remix by Rogerseventytwo , also known [...]

Are you tired of being force fed “summer jams” designed to constantly remind us that we should be sitting surfside with a frosty Corona neath our knuckles? Fortunately for the apathetic beach-goer in all of us, OH!hello has arrived with its sophomore EP RIP TIDES . OH!hello is the bedroom pop project of Portland, OR solo artist Michael Todd Berland. On RIP TIDES , Berland has crafted a collection of tracks that, on the surface, appear destined for a bonfire near you. Concise, ukulele-driven tunes with immediately accessible melodies. Beneath the EP’s sun-drenched skin [...]
Sumera is a electronic pop artist based in Amsterdam. Last year, she alternated between Amsterdam, Berlin + London in order to evolve & develop her own sound, a clever mix of pop + dark synths. During these travels, Sumera developed, co-wrote (with producer Rutger Hoedemaekers) & recorded her debut EP, Stop Heart , which she describes as “a vivid musical concept about the dark side of love” . Stop Heart is available now on iTunes + you can fully stream the 5 tracks on [...]
Finally after all the teasing, the supergroup Horsepower composed of Bart B More, Tommie Sunshine, and Rip Tide have released a preview for their Loops of Fury remix of 'I Need'. The pulsating bassline coupled with the most epic Dutch, funky all-round Horsepowere'd inspired drop tells me that this track is destined to tear up [...]

Beirut's latest video from The Rip Tide is a melancholic yet peaceful journey over the ocean.
Zach Condon and company are still riding the high of their successful 2011 release and are making sure that you're not forgetting about them not that we're halfway through 2012. To help bring some attention back to The Rip Tide , the band has teamed up with director Houmam Abdalla for a video to the album's title track. The theme of the video is simple enough with a wondering yacht that finds it's way into what looks like the inside of a lava lamp.
More often than not, today’s music videos have absolutely nothing to do with their auditory inspiration. Rather than acting as a subservient mercenary, these visual aids rule over the Kingdom of Non-Sequitur with a haughty pride and an army of Richard James’s leering face . Only very rarely does a music video capture the true quintessence of the song for which it is, allegedly, created as a counterpart. For all you readers out there who have grown accustomed to the irrelevance pervading the industry, brace yourself for the synestheziure-inducing new video for Beirut ’s “The Rip [...]
Zach Condon (perdón, es imposible escribirlo sin reírse) le puso imágenes a The Rip Tide , tema que le da nombre a su último trabajo de estudio, lanzado en septiembre del año pasado. A continuación podés ver este clip repleto de olas, barcos y vida marina. El audiovisual fue dirigido por Houman Abdallah .
