The Jam Jar , a brand new feature we’ll be rolling out every Wednesday going forward. The concept is pretty straightforward, each week we’ll add a new collection of indie-dance, house, and nu-disco style jams to the jar — the kind of tunes that carry you off into sun-filled daydreams, that are packed full of funky beats and deep basslines, and that most importantly make your day a more enjoyable one. Happy Wednesday everybody! We hope your week has been grand so far, but if not, it will surely get better after reading this post. It's our favorite time [...]

Vacationer prove their remix mettle by taking on Major Lazer 's "Get Free (Ft. Amber of Dirty Projectors)." No stranger to leisure, the Philly four-piece reinterprets the laid back vibes of the original with an island style of their own, trading "Get Free's" reggae stylings for a hazy, electronic beat. "Nu-hula," if you will. We think this one's a better fit for late night parties on the beach. Stream it below. MP3: Major Lazer - "Get Free (Ft. Amber of Dirty Projectors) (Vacationer Remix)"

Formed in early 2011 as a side project for singer/songwriter/multi-instru mentalist Kenny Vasoli, Vacationer is a unique combination of hypnotic electronic beats, soft vocals and serenity-inducing sonic arrangements. Think of it as Beach House meets the Balearic vibe of Washed Out , sprinkled with the playfulness of Body Language . Following the success of his critically acclaimed debut full-length Gone , Vasoli is back with a 6-track remix EP for latest single "Good As New", released via Downtown Records. The EP features reworks by the likes of Data Romance, Silent Rider, Les Professionnels, [...]
Oh wow - Vacationer premiered a stunning new music video earlier today via All Things Go for their track "Farther," off 2012's Gone . We really wish that someone would make affordable glasses that would allow us to see like this whenever we want. Kudos to the video's director Adam Fleck!

Today we're happy to debut the official video for "Farther," a highlight of Vacationer ’s blissful and bewitching 2012 album, Gone . This fan-made montage of concert footage and time-warped technicolor naturescapes is the perfect backdrop for the band's unique brand of easy breezy beautiful tropical pop. “Farther” is like a lucid dream of fifties AM gold hits, lost Disney soundtrack gems and balearica, sewn together, wafting out of a crackling transistor radio on a desert island in the future. Director Adam Fleck does a lovely job of capturing the track’s delicate [...]
