Damon Moon And The Whispering Drifters will release their second LP, Lungs, Dust, & Dreams (Adair Park), on February 21. Until this album, most of Moon's songs took on a dark theme about feelings of restlessness about the pursuit of finding a home. It wasn't until after six U.S. tours that the band discovered that its home [...]
Gemini Club made quite a few people happy releasing their single "By Surprise" (from their Here We Sit EP) for free.

The group has been making their way into the music scene by opening up and supporting the likes of Chromeo , A-Trak , Two Door Cinema Club , Who-Made-Who , Dj Falcon and Chateau Marmont .

When we were wrapping things up at the end, he said he'd miss coming to my place on Sundays. That's what I [...]
This track has been blogged already by everyone, but i'm huge fan of Scissor Sisters and i have never blogged them before. This remix for "Lafaye" from School Of Seven Bells is so good and full of beautiful details that keeps me going back and forward on the player. I love the ambient and every element connects so well taking the original into another dimension. In case you didn't know the original track belongs to School of Seven Bells new album 'Ghostory' to be released on February 28th. [download here ] [...]
From México we have Soto & Cillero. I have already blogged some stuff from Juan Soto , but i've never heard before of Cillero, if you have any kind of info you want to share, feel free to email us.

A hidden gem lies within Grouplove, the latest LA band worth discovering. Like Black Kids and Local Natives before them, Grouplove emerged as the next big band from Los Angeles. Living in Southern California I'm frequently exposed to numerous new, exciting bands like indie rock band Grouplove. Ever since I first heard their single "Colours" off their self-titled EP Grouplove last year I instantly fell in love with them. Released by Canvasback Music and Atlantic Records last January, I knew it would be a matter of time before they debut their first album. Grouplove stands as my favorite [...]

Australian house music producer Beni gives you a good reason to jump on the electronic music bandwagon.
Canadian artist The Wknd is well on his way to world domination. Always one to mix things up in an intriguing way, the crooner from The Great White North enlisted up-and-coming Toronto trio Keys N Krates to reimagine "Next," a moving ballad that appeared on his recent Echoes of Silence mixtape. Electro hip-hoppers KNK, who are known for crafting "live remixes" during their shows, totally reconstruct the song, dramatically upping the tempo for dance floor consumption while dousing it with a one-two punch of speaker-rattling bass and kick-ass beats. Have [...]
A couple months ago Joel Azevedo (do you recognize this name?) aka Silenx uploaded his "Long Lost Love" and now it's available for free. As we all know, his music is influenced by the 802s. Everytime he drops a new track i feel really excited. I'm pretty sure 2012 is going to be big for Joel. He has been growing as producer really fast always developing his skills bringing freshness and a huge amount of love/creativity. This track for example, is so good that makes me listen to it on repeat. I'm completely addicted to his music. If [...]
