Electro-pop phenom Penguin Prison started off 2012 playing a sold-out show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn. The man at the helm of it all, Chris Glover, went on to tour with Miike Snow, headline shows in South America and Mexico and release the Don’t F*ck With My Money remix album. We checked in with Glover to find out which songs rocked his world in 2012. Penguin Prison Top Ten Songs of 2012 1. Major Lazer feat. Amber Coffman / "Get Free" [...]
As we bring you our second slew of our Best Songs of 2012, keep in mind that as the numbers get closer to 1, our decisions were just that ...
I usually end up putting in more miles around a festival then those other two guys. That means I usually see and more importantly hear more bands than the average festival goer. This year, I was able to relax a bit on Friday as I was with out photo pit access. Once all that was remedied, it was full steam ahead. I had plenty of fun chasing the sound. We'll start with a Top 5 bands and then hit on festival observations. Best Bands 1) Trust - [...]
Después de tener más de 200 remixes a su haber, a principios de mayo pasado el collectivo RAC , de la mano de André Anjos, y de gran paso por nuestro país, nos presentaron su primera canción original, " Hollywood ". Una excelente pista bailable que cuenta con la fantástica voz del neoyorquino Penguin Prison . Luego de la masificación de la canción original, vinieron los remixes de artistas como The Magician y Felix Da Housecat . Sin embargo, no contentos con la difusión del tema, ahora el sello de los Remix Artists [...]
Directamente a recomendados de la semana. Disfruta el nuevo remix de Penguin Prison a Lana del Rey . Un gran remix. Al nivel de lo que hizo anteriormente por Blue Jeans .
Run! Lasers set from stun to kill. Targe acquired. Goodbye stress... In flies another 5 song Friday full of wonderful songs. This time around we've got two covers, a Hood Internet mash-up, as well as a fresh track from Conner Youngblood and Taken by Trees . Truly a treat for the ears. Enjoy! Taken By Trees - "Dreams" The Hood Internet - "Fuck With Mo' Money (Ma$e, Diddy, Biggie vs. Penguin Prison)" Conner Youngblood - [...]
The third and final day of Firefly was a blast. The sun came out, glittered-up hipsters dressed liked indians danced around to anything that had a thick bass beat and the bands kicked it into high gear for a wonderful finale to the inaugural year of the east coast's premiere music event. The day (for us) started with probably the best opening act we saw all weekend, Penguin Prison . I knew I liked the band, but I had no idea their performance would be such a boisterously fun dance party. This was easily the biggest surprise of [...]
Once again, chasing any Friday stresses away, comes 5 songs that are sure to bring your Friday to fruition and kickstart we weekend into the most brilliant of brilliance.

It's been quite some times since a Felix Da Housecat remix has passed over my trail, and it was well worth the wait. Felix holds true to the Summer fresh, sing-along vibe of Hollywood by Penguin Prison and RAC while infusion his signature style. MP3 / Hollywood (Felix Da Housecat Remix) Hollywood also received the remix treatment via The Magician , and [...]
RAC 's song "Hollywood" has been on repeat lately and all thanks to Mountain Dew's label Green Label Sound. What better to supplement a song you can't get out of your head than a variation to help ease that repeat button just a bit. Felix Da Housecat , notorious house legend from Chicago, gave his own spin on this backyard barbecue favorite for 2012 with a little more focus on building up the beat (so you can beat it up). You know what I'm talking about. Check out the video for "Hollywood" here . [...]
Governors Ball is about as straightforward as a festival can get: two stages, no overlapping sets, and an even split between electronic music on Saturday and alternative rock on Sunday. For its second installation, Gov. Ball relocated to Randalls Island on the upper end of Manhattan from its namesake outpost at the lower, which didn’t affect much in the way of attendance but unfortunately added more of a commute to the festival’s official afterparties at the Brooklyn Bowl (#firstworldproblems). Other than that, however, there was enough space, water, bathrooms, lawn games, and food trucks to keep fussy New Yorkers [...]
It's here! It's here! NYC's very own festival. The second year of the festival is promising to be incredible, bringing in performances by some of the most sought after acts in the business. The best part about Governors Ball, absolutely no overlapping sets. You don't have to choose between any of the amazing acts, you can see each and every one of them. Have fun this weekend and we'll see you there! CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL SCHEDULE [...]
We’re quite proud of RAC’s latest track titled “Hollywood” and equally as impressed by their video. RAC has perennially been our favorite collective remix artist(s) and their collaboration with the multi-faceted rising star, Penguin Prison, makes this song no joke. André Allen Anjos, founder of RAC and composer/songwriter of “Hollywood” is seen here in this video. Director Ryan Reichenfeld and cinematographer Kyle Hill melted the scenery of LA with a mystified cowboy. Somehow this old cowboy from the West, Clint Eastwood eyes and all, is stuck wandering through the LA night, yet manages to hitch his horse and [...]
Green Label Sound have just revealed the video for RAC 's collaboration with Penguin Prison . Both artists appear in the Hollywood clip, as does oddly enough Rose McGowan . It's a beautiful shot and rather surreal clip... The video tells the story of an 18502s cowboy and his horse as they experience and explore modern day LA. The cowboy, completely out of his element, longs for something familiar and he might just find it in the end [...]
Penguin Prison's Chris Glover continues to place top electronic tracks at the top of remix-lovers playlists for quite some time now and we've noticed. DJs love remixing his already pop-and-lock jams, fans can't get enough of his almost constant products and we want to help shed some extra light on his work. In appreciation of this club-worthy artist, we've compiled the best remixes out there. For us, this list has some dance hall worthy tracks, but it also slows it down. Half come from remixes of Penguin Prison and half are by him, and they span back to [...]
Wow, so many of our favorites appearing on this one! The Magician remixes Hollywood by RAC featuring Penguin Prison . The results are of course quite delightful, a stomping bassline, space age synths and disco claps, what more can you ask for? DOWNLOAD Hollywood (The Magician Remix) Snag the free download and let us know what you think on Facebook or Twitter ! RAC ft. [...]
While all of those other websites just troll the hype machine, we manage to tactfully organize the best of what's been sent to our inbox. This week is no exception. Although I would hate to label one of these artists above the next, A Lull is one of my hidden gems in my music library. I even mentioned them in my 6 Music Mistakes Siri Makes in which A Lull just doesn't seem to cooperate with Siri. In any event, "Summer Dress" is free this week. A Lull is also pictured above. [...]
Late Nite Tuff Guy By Stef Siepel The Weekly Froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer’s fancy. Track of the week: ‘Holiday’ by Late Nite Tuff Guy Nope, this is not a remix of the Madonna song. You’ll be forgiven for thinking so though, [...]
