Jimmy Tamborello, better known as indie electronic mastermind Dntel, is back after a couple years of silence with a new album due out June 5th. Aimless is reported to feature several guests including Baths and Nite Jewel. The glitchy-blippy "Bright Night" is our first glimpse at the record and we approve. Start the anticipation. Dntel [...]
Prepare thine fists for pumping! Punk(ish) duo Japandroids prepare the followup to their 2009 breakthrough Post-Nothing with the first single from the upcoming album "The House That Heaven Built". You can literally taste the well deserved sweat from a summer festival pit on the song. "And if they try to slow you down / tell [...]
My computer died so it's been awhile since I've updated. What better way to kick it all back off than with a new Martin Solveig remix track by wonderboy Madeon. Party on WAYNE. Martin Solveig - "The Night Out (Madeon Remix)"
Baltimore dream pop duo preps for the release of their followup to the excellent Teen Dream with a new single entitled "Myth". The track feels slightly more produced than what we're used to but any loss is made up in the lush layers added. Bloom is due out May 15th via Sub Pop. Beach House [...]
Last night Neon Gold bands St. Lucia, Savoir Adore, and The Knocks absolutely destroyed The Social in Orlando, FL. Unfortunately few witnessed but those that did were treated to stellar performances by three top-tier acts. [But seriously, I’m disappointed in you Florida] St. Lucia took the stage unassumingly and set right to turning everyone in [...]
Kick your weekend off right with some great tunes. Starting with Gemini Club's new single "By Surprise". Followed by our favorite mashup duo The Hood Internet with a laid back mix. Next onto Diplo's wobbly take on a Katy B track and the masters of the remix RAC's version of Fixers' "Iron Deer Dream". Lastly an awesome [...]
We've already heard the first single from Teen Daze's upcoming release, now we have the second taste with "Treten". A typical and delectable ambiance can be expected as you float away on synth waves. All of Us, Together is due out on Lefse May 22nd. While your at check out Brothertiger's remix of "Brooklyn Sunburn". Teen Daze [...]
As Bear In Heaven prepares for their newest album release we have another sample of what to expect. According to lead singer Jon Philpot "Sinful Nature" is 'an ode to all shy girls...not to restrain [their] inner freak." Let loose listening to this one and get ready for the trio's awesomely titled I Love You, [...]

In honor of the release of her new album One Second of Love, Ramona Gonzalez, better known as Nite Jewel, posted this remix by lead singer of Violens, Jorge Elbrecht. Head HERE to get your copy. Nite Jewel - "Memory, Man (Jorge Elbrecht of Violens Remix)"
Seattle's Beat Connection enlisted vocal help of Chelsey Scheffe to fill out their new expansive track "Think/Feel". The single will be released soon to hold us over until their new album due out later this summer. Enjoy! Beat Connection - "Think/Feel (ft. Chelsey Scheffe)"
Let's be honest first off, Converse has done the "3 artists, 1 song" collaboration several times, and every time the outcome is forgettable at best, if not just bad. I guess it's time to forgive them because after all the missteps they managed to wrangle three of the coolest artists in the music biz into [...]
Sure it's only Monday night, but if your week is anything like mine you need something to carry you through, so here's a mix to get you to the end of you week. Start off with a new track from youngster producer Madeon called "Icarus". Next up a remix of the most annoying Foster the People [...]
Here's an eyebrow raiser, an Usher and Diplo collaboration. More surprising, the outcome doesn't sound much like anything either artist has recently done. The vocals are much more heartfelt than the club singles we've become numb to from Mr. Raymond while Diplo's production is wonderfully constrained. Apparently the strings are arranged by Nico Muhly. All [...]
With the recent passing of Whitney Houston it seems everyone on the interwebs is honoring the late great in their own way. So what better way for StB to show our respect than with recent tracks by two of our favorites. Robots With Rayguns puts his typical awesome flair on the classic "I Wanna Dance [...]
The loveable whistler is back with a new single, album, and tour. "Eyeoneye" is the first taste of Andrew Bird's upcoming record Break It Yourself and we find he hasn't missed a step when it comes to catchy indie rock. Break It Yourself releases March 6th and be sure to catch the bird on tour-trust [...]
Here's a new slow jam from Nite Jewel to set the mood for your hump day evening. Another cut from Gonzalez's upcoming album One Second of Love entitled "In The Dark". The album comes out March 6th.
Mux Mool's new album Planet High School drops today on Ghostly International. In a word, dope. Here are two of my favorite tracks from it. The heavy hitting instrumental hip-hop track "Palace Chalice" and the uber-epic "Baba". I seriously can't stop listening to "Baba", it's like electronic Explosions in the Sky. With Planet High School [...]
The last single from Canadian electronic artist Teen Daze was a bit of curve-ball. Trading his obscure bleeps and smooth synths for a recognizable sample and arpeggios (not that he didn't crush the track). "Brooklyn Sunburn" is the first taste of his upcoming LP and it looks like he's gone back to the dreamlike state [...]
Futurecop! continue their childlike whimsicality with another outside the box remix this time of post-hardcore troupe Funeral For a Friend. Yet another stellar piece from the electronic duo. Be sure to check out their recent "The Movie OST" if you haven't already HERE. Funeral For a Friend - "You Want Romance (Futurecop! Remix.)"
