UK's Foals just released their new video for "Bad Habit" from their 2013 album Holy Fire . Great video/track which has their lead singer chasing a naked girl through a desert. You know typical every day stuff, haha, but metaphorically, aren't we all chasing something. Check it out below...
Got sent this remix by Peter Thomas for The Knocks track "The Feeling" that was too good to pass up, especially since it's being offered as a free download . Great dance jam that I can't wait to incorporate into my DJ sets. Thought I'd share the goods. Check it...
Sing Sing My Darling is not a song, but the name of a band. "Lady" is a song they released recently and it's a pretty chill track. The quartet hails from Toulouse, France is currently on tour promoting their EP. I seriously recommended checking out their other release " Disco Love " as well.
Really digging this new remix Teen Daze did for Futurecop's track "Coming Home" . Real sublime and lovely. The fact that they are offering the remix as a free download only makes it that much better. Check it out below and if you dig the sounds be sure to save that sucker.
Brooklyn indie band Grizzly Bear are gonna be in Miami Beach next Tuesday, June 18th for a show at The Fillmore . Our friends at The Fillmore have asked us if we'd like to do a giveaway for the show, so of course we had to say yes! I know Mike has been a big fan of theirs who has covered them for years. Grizzly Bear is supporting their 2012 album [...]
An album I've been obsessing over since it was released last week is the debut album Settle from young UK duo/brothers Disclosure . These fellows are just 18 and 21 yrs old and have possibly released one of the early contenders for dance album of the year . The album infuses elements of deep house, edm, acid and holding it all together, a pop sensibility. It reminds me a bit of artists like Basement Jaxx who also cross [...]
Hard to believe our good friends Modernage have been rocking the Miami indie scene for 10 years , but that my friends is a fact. I know cause I was there, haha. To commemorate the occasion they have released a beautiful new tune called "The Williams" which we are glad to debut on OTR . One of the loveliest tracks I've ever heard from them. Check out the track/promo video for it below and congrats on this notable achievement! Many bands would love [...]
Famous director turned musician , David Lynch , is releasing a follow up to the very good "Crazy Clown Time " this coming July 16 . It's called "The Big Dream" and though not released yet, you can sample some of the songs on iTunes here . This single is a collaboration with Lykke Li , whose ghostly voice caresses this haunting track. It's really the type of music you'd expect Lynch to make.
Don't know much about Chicago duo Gauntlet Hair , but after hearing their new single/video "Human Nature" from their upcoming album Stills out July 16th I am a fan. What an amazing slow grooving jam! Reminds me of the vibe of bands like The Horrors . If dark shoegaze type jams are your thing, this should be right up your alley. Check it...
LA duo Poolside are back with a great new single "If We Make It" from their forthcoming as yet untitled new album as well as being featured on an upcoming Scion compilation. Really great mid-tempo jam. Got to meet these fellows during WMC and they were super nice dudes. Can't wait to hear more from them, especially if this is a sign as to the direction they're heading. For now check out this great new single which they are offering as a free download [...]
You know retirement for artists usually don't stick, especially when years go by and the urge returns as we found out this year when legendary industrial band Nine Inch Nails announced a new album Hesitation Marks and world tour in 2013 . Being as I am a long time NIN fan ( Pretty Hate Machine is probably one of my all time favorite albums) I was pretty excited about the news. They just released a new single [...]
Can we say summer is in full swing yet? This new track "Reaction" by our friend Air Zaire from NYC would suggest it is. Right in time for those summer pool parties, this new jam by him will work perfectly pool side with an ice cold drink in hand. Makes me wanna go do that right now actually. Check out the tune below which he is offering as a free download . Thank you very much sir.
Pretty excited about the Charli XCX show we have coming up this Saturday, June 8th at our weekly party His & Hers at The Garret . First heard about UK's Charli XCX when Aramis would play "You (Ha Ha Ha)" back when we first started His & Hers earlier this year, and every time he did I would be like "who is that?" Amazingly catchy tune that I still have not gotten tired of. Since then I [...]
Another of our long time faves Chicago's Hey Champ just released a great new track today called "Celebrate" . Slightly different from what we're used to hearing from them, but pretty amazing jam. I love when bands expand on their sound and don't just keep putting out the same track with a different name. This is a perfect example of that. Electronic pop deliciousness, right in time for the summer. Celebrate...
Our good friends French Horn Rebellion are at it again releasing another summer jam! This one's called "Dancing Out" and it features Young Empires and Jody Watley ? I don't know how they managed to pull that one off, but it works perfectly. Check out the goods below and get your summer boogie on.
Kitsune's been having a great summer, having Club Nights throughout major cities around the world. We had one in Miami a few weeks ago at our weekly Saturday Night Party His & Hers at The Garret , where the amazing Fred Falke rocked the house. They have a big one coming up June 22nd in London at the Village Underground with Lindstrom, Classixx, Punks Jump Up & Pyramid who put together a DJ [...]
So I ran into this really cool Breakbot remix of Phoenix's "Trying to Be Cool" , one of my favorite tracks from their new album Bankrupt! As I was looking for it on soundcloud I realized that Phoenix had given away the stems for the track and there were literally hundreds of remixes out for the track. As I started going through them I realized many of them were really great, so instead of just making this post about the Breakbot remix I thought [...]
Got this beaut of a remix sitting pretty in my inbox today by Kentucky's Amtrac for fellow Kentucky band that we've covered before and got a chance to see live in Miami The Pass . Absolutely gorgeous remix that sounds exactly like what I want to be hearing on this fine afternoon. Thought I'd share the goods with our lovely readers. Check it...
Monday's after a long weekend can be tough, but this latest DJ Mix :: Magic Tape 33 by the amazing Magician will surely help your work week day fly on by. On the up side only 4 more days till the weekend right? Enjoy!
Umm, what was I saying about all the amazing albums being released this year? Well here's another one! Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada who haven't released any new material since 2006's Trans Canada Highway EP are getting ready to release new album Tomorrow's Harvest on June 11th . The first taste we've gotten from the record is first single/video for "Reach for the Dead" , which is just about as lovely as they come. Beautiful [...]
