[Folk] Fleet Foxes – Battery Kinizie

Posted on by Clare Williams Posted in Alternative/Rock, Folk | 2 Comments

When Fleet Foxes released their debut album all the way back in 2008, no one could have predicted the insane levels of adoration they would receive from critics and the public alike. After playing an exhaustive amount of festivals, Robin Pecknold & co. took a while out to write and record their blinding new record ‘Helplessness Blues’ (listen to the the title track here). One of the highlights of the album is ‘Battery Kinizie’, a riotous piece of happiness the …

[Indie] Adam & The Amethysts – Prophecy

Posted on by Clare Williams Posted in Alternative/Rock, Folk | 2 Comments

Montreal indie group Adam & The Amethysts began in 2004 as a side-project for Telefauna and Miracle Fortress member Adam Waito. They put their debut out almost three years ago, and have been very quiet since, until about three weeks ago. Releasing ‘Prophecy’ as the first single of their new album ‘Flickering Flashlight’ was an absolute masterstroke. This comeback single is a joyful folk track that just hurts with pop hooks and sheer fun, and is sure to win them …

[Discuss] Justice – Civilization

Posted on by Blas Yaselli Posted in Alternative/Rock, Electronic | 34 Comments

It is so funny to see how the entire music blogosphere completely loses their shit whenever Radiohead or Justice releases a track. Huge fan and a lot of respect to both, but really people? It is music, it will always mean something different to each one of us and I want to take the opportunity to really discuss this track with you, our readers. Everything that has a lot of hype will always be scrutinized, and I feel like a …

Posted on by Paul Martin Posted in Electronic, Remixes | 1 Comment

After featuring his absolutely banging ‘Amen’ track only 4 days ago on the Best of Beatport Charts post  -  Brazilian producer Chrizz Luvly is at it again. This latest remix see’s him taking Spencer and Hill‘s ‘Less Go’ track and add some of those hard hitting disjointed bass sounds that we heard on ‘Amen’. While there may not be too much information about Chrizz Luvly  - his previous tracks like  ’All over me’ and ‘Amen’ really let you know a lot about …

[Video] tUnE-yArDs – Bizness

Posted on by Timothy Hudson Posted in Alternative/Rock, Electronic | 2 Comments

A lot of things were said about tUnE-yArDs’ 2009 debut album, most of which overwhelmingly positive, and with good reason. Lead singer, and front-woman for the project, Merrill Garbus has some amazing vocal qualities, and her arrangements have never ceased to impress me. The same is true for her latest entry “Bizness” off of her upcoming album, w h o k i l l. The song is instantly likable with an assortment of brilliant synths and beats. By the time …

Posted on by Clare Williams Posted in Alternative/Rock, Electronic, Remixes | 1 Comment

French pop chick Yelle has been around for quite some time, and is back with a new track, ‘Que Veux Tu’. But this sexy and fun song just got even better, thanks to 16-year-old whizzkid Madeon (also from France). Already an accomplished remixer, Madeon upped the pop quota on ‘Que Veux Tu’ and created a madly danceable slice of electro joy that will delight the ears of thousands across the globe. Listen out for ‘Que Veux Tu’ at a club …

‘The Duel’ is, rather fittingly, a duet between San Franciscan rising star Chloe Makes Music and The Morning Benders’ singer Christopher Chu, and what an absolute joy it is. With gentle guitar providing a relaxed and emotive backing to Chloe and Christopher’s beautifully interwoven vocals, ‘The Duel’ will resonate with anyone who has ever been madly in love. This extraordinary track has the potential to soundtrack moments of great romance both on and off the silver screen, and should gain …

Time for some Nintendo nostalgia right now! German born Zedd is has taken this 8-bit classic and shoved some banging electro dynamite up it!  If you’ve never heard of Zedd, then he’s not exactly new to the game. His remix for Skrillex’ ‘Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites‘, released on ‘mau5trap recordings’ climbed up the charts to #4 on Beatport and #2 on Beatport’s Electro House charts. Whether your a love of the game or of Zedd, then you might want to …

[Electro] Calvin Harris – Awooga

Posted on by Paul Martin Posted in Electronic | 1 Comment

A complete EDM instrumental track here from none other then Scottish boy - Calvin Harris. His usual style of funky bass lines and catchy vocals aren’t seen anywhere here. Instead, ‘Awooga’ takes the step into creating a pure fist pumping club banger and it’s something I want to hear even hear more of from Calvin Harris. The track itself features a pretty epic melody and relentless bass. It’is definitely a grower, so make sure you give it more then just a …
