This one is a fantastic edit of Daft Punk - normally these are a dime a dozen, but Vanderway has hit on something here. Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (Vanderway Edit) by L'ordre This slow instrumental hip-hop track is drawn from Kendrick Lamar's "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe." BDKMV Refix feat. The Clubcasa Chamber Orchestra by IAMNOBODI [Official] Myron and E mix a Marvin Gaye Motown vibe with a [...]
Today's mix is more downtempo and should help you get into a good warm weather groove. My personal favorite is Kyogi's remix of "Valentine." We're saving the best for last. We'll start off with some reggae. Dub Club's latest lends a great groove. Dub Club - Beware Dub by Stones Throw Records The best part of this mashup is Jhameel - the graduated-in-2-years-from-UC-B erkeley-with-a-degree-in-arabi c-second-coming-of-MJ artist. Jhameel x DWNTWN x Giraffage - Move Me by DWNTWN [...]
Yeah, it's not the most original title. But this week, that's far from the most important thing on our minds. Here's to sun, warmth, and a May full of revelry to celebrate the death of this long, long, winter. Good riddance, and here's our first four tracks to start the party. Daughter - Get Lucky (Daft Punk Cover) by Ace Magazine World In Our Hands (The Two Friends Remix) [Radio Edit] - Quintino & Alvaro by The Two [...]
Our spotlight today is on The Melker Project's fantastically brilliant project "Skeetwood Mac," which combines Fleetwood Mac and hip-hop luminaries. It should give you a pick-up and a half. "Dream Ride" is my personal favorite - it single-handedly lifted me out of the purgatory that is Inter-Library Loan. The Melker Project - Dream Ride ft. Fleetwood Mac, Ciara & Ludacris by scottmelker The Melker Project - The (2) Chain (z) ft. Fleetwood Mac & 2 Chainz by scottmelker [...]
It's Friday, my semester's done, and I'm looking to get my hands on anything - regardless of genre - that I can use to celebrate. These recently released tracks have got me going: Blaka's "Tozo," straight out of Accra, Ghana, is a great place to start. Blaka - "Tozo" by Akwaaba Music This mash of Passion Pit and Miike Snow, courtesy of DOSVEC, kicks it up a notch. Passion Pit vs Miike Snow "Carried Away" [...]
Time to give some love to a (temporarily adopted) hometown musician. Over the past year, Ann Arbor-based Chrome Sparks has released a pirate's bounty of audio treasure. Just in time for Santa. Check out his music on SoundCloud and Bandcamp, and while you're at it, lobby Spotify to pick up his music! In honor of Denver and Seattle, this one goes first: Marijuana by chrome sparks The rest are great, too, though. All There Is (Feat. [...]
It's the weekend and there are several tracks worthy of your thank-God-the-election-and-the -work-week-is-over attention. Front and center has to be Ellie Goulding's "Bittersweet." I'm predicting at least 100 remixes of this track before the month is through. Bittersweet by usvsyou wanderhouse - Use Me Up (Ianborg Remix) [Free Download] by Ianborg Swim Deep - Honey (Love Thy Brother Remix) by LOVE THY BROTHER [...]
All the Nate Silvers in the world couldn't assuage my nervousness about the upcoming election. I've tried multiple times to quit news cold turkey; suffice to say, it's been futile. The solution? These fantastic tracks. "The Mother We Share" has to be my favorite. The Mother We Share by CHVRCHES Chromeo, 'Bonafied Lovin' (RAC remix) by Mixmag Pacific Air - Float (TheFatRat Remix) by [...]
We're back with some solid tracks grounded in the electronic & remix tradition that have nothing in common except that they excel at taking our mind off the fact that the workweek has begun again. Enjoy! Boston based producers PRFFTT & Svyable put out a more uptempo bootleg of Ellie Goulding's "Hanging On," thereby creating a solid beginning to our playlist, and furthering her inevitable status in the near-future as "most remixed" singer-songwriter. Hanging On (Svyable + PRFFTT Bootleg) by PRFFTT "Every Language Is [...]
There have already been several times this summer where I've thought to myself, "It's an 'I love Brooklyn' kind of day." Today is another one of those - and from the looks of things, it's going to stay that way for the next long while. Here's the first in what will hopefully be a lengthy series of playlists inspired by what's turning out to be a wondrous summer. Of course we have to start off with Teen Daze's brilliant "Brooklyn Sunburn" - in case you've never heard it, you're welcome. I've already put this on three times today. [...]
Diplo and the Knocks have got us rocking this Monday. Not a bad pedigree. I'm particularly intruiged by Raf Riley's booty-tastic take on Diplo and Usher's "Climax.." Definitely something I'm sure we'll be hearing late at night in clubs this spring. As for the rest? T-ARA's bringing the K-Pop, Teen Daze has disco covered, and the RAC's, well, the RAC. You should probably keep the channel tuned right here. Marina and the Diamonds - Lies (prod. Diplo, Dr. Luke) by diplo [...]
This is becoming somewhat of a tradition. We'll see how it develops - if I still feel burned out in the coming Monday evenings, then you can expect another playlist geared towards satisfying the more simple, mindless, poppy desires that come out when your willpower to pursue "higher" music is gone. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. You can't always listen to Radiohead. Felix Cartal - Domo by FELIX CARTAL Felix Cartal - Tonight (feat. Maja Ivarsson from The [...]
Yeah, we said "mindless." But in a good way. Sometimes you just need the most dance-friendly sections of your favorite pop songs unceremoniously smushed together. A mashup here, a remix there... sure, it lacks a concrete identity, but it makes you shake your ass and forget the work week just started... which is what really counts on a Monday night. We love Kap Slap . Of course we're beginning with this one. HOWEVER! Kap Slap you better not get too used to this dubstep sound (thankfully brief in this one) or you'll fall all the way [...]
Sometimes you need something poppy, smooth, and electronic to dispel those extraneous thoughts. These songs are for those static nights where you might have taken care of everything that needs taking care of, but there's still a but-I-have-to floating in the back of your head, needling you and preventing you from sending your mind back to the tropics, where they belong. Musically, I'd categorize these songs as being in the simple, vaguely-80s poppy remixes genre we've been inundated with lately - except these are actually really fun. Mindless, yes - but solid, and effective. Sometimes [...]
Sometimes you just need to shake your head to something polished, bumping, and full to the brim of the best of electropop. These remixes have me shaking my head, and they're from the best. This track from Diplo is a great place to start. Express Yourself feat Nicky Da B by diplo Ah, the Knocks. Always solid. Always worth checking out. Let It Go (The Knocks Remix) - Dragonette by The Knocks [...]
2011 owned in terms of music. Class-acts Metronomy and TV on the Radio lit up the scene and newcomers Cults and The Weeknd wowed us. Here's my list of favorite albums, and I ain't apologizing to no one. 10) Changing The Rain - The Horrors - Skying 9) Doomsday - Nero - Welcome Reality 8) Teardrops On My Pillow - Dum Dum Girls - Only in Dreams 7) The Zone [...]
Merry Christmas! We wouldn't dream of posting today without presents, so voila! A playlist and two wonderful tracks for this festive day. The first comes to you from the northern European Yuletide tradition, courtesy of the King's Singers, with their heart-melting performance of "Wexford Carol." The carol, a traditional Irish hymn originating from County Wexford, is also known by its Gaelic name, " Carúl Loch Garman." It has been performed for hundreds of years, and is considered to be one of the oldest Christmas carols with a melody outside the Roman Catholic tradition. Due to Britain's rule over Ireland, it [...]
Y'all hear of Matador before? Better have... Some of the best indie rock of the last decade comprises the sophomore label's catalog. Here is a list of some of our favorite tracks. Unguided - The New Pornographers Smoke Ring For My Halo - Kurt Vile Autumn Sweater - Yo La Tengo Take You On A Cruise - Interpol I Want The World To Stop - Belle and Sebastian Be Your Baby - Harlem Alchemy And You - Cold Cave [...]
This week's playlist has an added edge for the approaching cold. Don't ask me how; it just does. You'll know it when you hear it. Ned Stark had it right: "Winter is coming." Gorillaz - Doncamatic The Roots - The Seed Beyonce - Ring The Alarm Janelle Monae - Cold War Chromeo - I'm Not Contagious Lil Wayne feat. Babyface - Comfortable Passion Pit - Little Secrets OutKast - Buggface Listen to the playlist on our handy sidebar [...]
It's Friday. I'm in a good mood. If you want to be academic about it, these tracks represent the current and expected trajectory of my day, from relaxed, dreamy optimism to ass-shakery. If you want to be blunt, they're simply solid, recently released tracks to put you in a positive, slightly rowdy state of mind. Heidelberg, Germany based "emotional electronica" band Essáy & Stumbleine put out a good ambient song, "Rhiannon:" an appropriate place to start. Essáy & Stumbleine - Rhiannon ("buy this track" for DL) by ESSÁY. [...]
