DJ Troublemaker remixes Brooklyn duo’s Matt and Kim’s upbeat pop heavy melody “Daylight.” The remix features the group De La Soul who rap over the original vocals. The chorus is kept the same (words and Matt’s vocals) but techno like electronics replace the synth pop sound of the original. DJ Troublemaker says, “Words cannot describe the amount of happiness this song brings me. I consider De La Soul to be the greatest group in the history of hip hop. And, growing up and getting into music production, never did I think I would have the opportunity to work [...]

Well, at least Matt and Kim were on a late night show, even if it was just Kimmel. At least that's better than nothing. Isn't it? Matt and Kim - Daylight
In all the craziness of this last week, here's what's managed to catch my ear. Matt & Kim “Cutdown” from Grand Fanfarlo “I’m A Pilot” from Reservoir Smith Westerns “Be My Girl” from s/t Revolver “Luke, Mike, and John” from Music For A While Best Coast “Sun Was High (So Was I)” from self released Rock out with [...]
“Let’s give a yell for the mother fuckin' Empire State Building!” Matt and Kim played it up in Manhattan last Thursday to a packed crowd at Pier 54. The free show on the Hudson River was a short - but fun - night for everyone in attendance. Granted, it took a few songs for the crowd to come around, but once they did Matt and Kim upped their game. Needless to say, the rest of the set was strong and powerful. The old standby Yea Yeah came, and [...]

Matt & Kim: "Summer is here and something about it just seems to take years off. You feel 18 again while biking with friends at night, swerving on and off the sidewalk down Kent Ave, or... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
You may have noticed, but last week I put a little "Donate" (via PayPal) button on the top of the right sidebar. Lately technology hasn't been my best friend. My computer crashed 2 weeks ago, and just yesterday my external hard drive containing all of my files crashed as well. I'm trying to get it fixed, but I don't have the kind of money to spend on getting it fixed. I have been blogging for more than a year, supplying you all with the latest music news and happenings. Hours are spent a day searching and posting awesome music, [...]

MP3: Matt & Kim-Yea Yeah (Flosstradamus Remix Final) Flosstradamus are playing at the Venue(Club Karma/Redzone) Saturday, June 20th along with DJ Detox , and CJ Townsend .. Flosstradamus are a dejay/remix duo from Chicago that has been doing it big for couple years now. They exist in the weird hybrid Electro/Juke whatever the fuck you call it world that has you playing Lollapoolaza one day, and a small club date the next. I spoke [...]
Featuring a line-up that seriously rivals the likes of any flyer we've seen in a long time, last night's Bacardi B-LIVE event at M:2 (formerly Mansion, Ministry of Sound and, er, Crobar) was one of the largest, most rambunctous, hilarious and fun nights we've had in a while, while also being one of the more frustrating. But way less about the latter will be discussed than the former, because, well, if you read our Twitter feed , you've seen/felt us bitch enough as it is. With killer DJ sets (the ones we caught anyways, sorry [...]
Some of my favorite times in Louisville this past year have been at Skull Alley , including shows with Royal Bangs (they like to fight and ride skateboards against 15-year-old drunk girls, after all), The Seedy Seeds , Young Widows , Icy Demons , Bouncing Souls , Tim Barry and, of course, the show we put on with Matt and Kim and Hollywood [...]
Math the Band gives you a heaping helping of Atom and His Package , vintage Matt and Kim and Dan Deacon (with a little Andrew WK for the live show, I'm told) all rolled up into one musical package. It's just too much fun. Which is why I'm going to try to catch them live in Bloomington, Ind., next month while they're touring in support of Don't Worry , which will [...]

(photo by Tod Seelie) In the past four months since Brooklyn's own Matt and Kim dropped their sophomore album, Grand , a lot has been going on to keep them busy. Never ones to relax, the couple have been out on the road playing wherever and whenever a stage/park/parking log/bar/cafe will house them with epic teardowns at SXSW and the like and filming a let's-get-naked-in-Times-Squar e-and-see-what-happens video for their new single "Lessons Learned". Now, we bring news that the pair have licensed another Grand track, "Daylight", for use in the 2009 campaign [...]
