Morts and Meisure

The latest release from Holy Ghost's upcoming album, Wait & See, is pure synth pop gold. I'm a huge sucker for interesting vocal melodies and acoustic piano... so this track has gotten me really excited for the full album to drop. My good friend Alex just recently had the pleasure of seeing Holy Ghost! open for Cut Copy in DC at the 930 Club and he said it was absolutely magical. Love these guys.

Holy Ghost! - Wait & See

Awesome new LBCK remix. I really don't even have to say much about this fantastic track. The name LBCK should just speak for itself at this point. Sample laden and funky. Cue disco ball.

Kamei - Sugarland (LBCK Mellowdisco Remix)

Owner of Cheap Thrills label in London, Herve, teamed up with vocalist MNDR for this grimey house track. Released for free by Green Label Sound.

MNDR - Cut Me Out (Herve Remix)

Now this one is a wee bit odd, but not in a bad way. The top 40's esque pop vocals/lyrics throw me off a little, but I honestly enjoy the dance track that 8barz has created underneath them. This is one of those tracks that I feel like could get a lot of radio play and have mass appeal. Take a listen for yourself.

the Script - For The First Time (8barz Remix)

16 year old (youngster talent) French producer, Madeon, has caught my attention now twice. His latest remix of Yelle's Que Veux Tu has been on my 'walking to class' playlist for a few weeks now and I think it deserves to be posted. I'm really impressed with his precocious production abilities. Also check out his Killers remix below.

Yelle - Que Veux Tu (Madeon Remix)

The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It (Madeon Remix)

Parisian duo (obviously), Jupiter recently released their new single Sake coupled with a great music video. Dance floor ready. Cute French girl vocals are always a welcomed touch. Be sure to check out the Para One and Tacteel remix for a down tempo chilled out version of the original.

Don't Joke With Me

Halloween is nearly upon us and all you're trying to do is have a good time with some good people. Let me aid you in your quest for fun by supplying you with the soundtrack to your weekend.

Digitalism are dropping their new EP, Blitz, on November 8th (!!!!). You can sniff around for the 128 of the original, but I'd just wait for the 320 and buy it. In the mean time, satiate your ever present Digitalism craving with this awesome remix by Villa, two Belgian fellows by the names of Thang and Fredo... what else.

Digitalism - Blitz (VillA Remix)

Comprised of a classically trained pianist and bass player, The Baldives come at you all the way from Australia with some of their first original material. Don't forget about these two.

The Baldives - Down and Out (Original Mix)

"My name is Myndset. I am a DJ/Producer for Megaclite, the 62nd moon of Jupiter. I've fled my intergalactic abode due to an escalating racial genocide problem with the avatars and landed upon this small place called Earth." Yeah ok, great remix!

Example - Kickstarts (Myndset Remix)

Guys, it's Todd Edwards. Legendary man. Great chopped vocals and amazing piano ostinatos.

Toni Toni Lee - Last Love (Todd Edwards Remix)

Tennishero is a Swedish duo that is currently putting out some inspiring chill electro that is great for that sleepy sunday. The airy synths and dreamy vocals will have you soaring through the clouds.

Tennishero - Midnight Love

Here's some absolutely danceable disco house from Rockets, aka Fred Oliveira. Love that synth part that comes in around 3:02.

Rockets - Club Monsieur

U-Tern really remixes a great roster of songs. The more I hear from this beautiful Canadian man, the more I anticipate his next moves. Loving how well the synths/bassline/vocals all mesh so well in this track.

Kris Menace and The Dream - Walking on Lightning (U-Tern Blend)

Bonus:

Super Mal have been producing since 2006, so I'm not sure why this is the first I'm hearing about them. But from the sound of things, this certainly wont be the last we hear of these boys.

Rock the Night (Club Mix) by Super Mal

Tahiti 80 just recently put out an EP, Solitary Bizness. Check out the colorful new video for said single.

Happy Halloween
