After a long and interesting rant on twitter about people taking music too seriously, Childish Gambino (Donald Glover), did the one thing he knew would force people to listen. And thus just a few short hours ago he released yet another track this week, ‘We Ain’t Them’.

Not surprisingly, ‘We Ain’t Them’ feels much natural than his latest tracks and once again showcases his natural ability to express his mind with witty punds and smooth rhymes.

When we saw “Rocky Theme moombahton rmx” as a subject line in our inbox today there was one thing on our mind, “These guys better not fuck this up”. As passionate moombahton lovers, just the very thought of coming across a Rocky Theme Moomba remix makes the world that much better to live in.

We do not know much about Chicago duo Team Bayside High, or if they are even Saved by the Bell fans, but we can only bless these producers for this hilarious and excellently executed rendition of one of the classic songs of our generation. Listen and download it below:

Coming out next week FREAKZ ME OUT records is the latest collab between Dead C∆T Bounce & The Noisy Freaks for a powerful and filthy remix of “My Religion” from duo You Killing Me, proclaiming to be from Holy See, Vatican City. Whether that may or may not be true, the original ‘My Religion’ is a fantastic dark thriller with distinctive production style. Dead C∆T Bounce & The Noisy Freaks took things up a notch with immaculately honed gritty basslines enhancing the track to banger proportions.

HEALTH, the noise rockers from Los Angeles, composed the in-game score of the latest and much anticipated third installment of the Max Payne series. Rockstar Games just released ‘Tears’, a cut from the official release. The Max Payne 3 Soundtrack is set to be released next week.

Taking in several influences from Brazil, where the story takes place in the game, Health provides a unique blend of rock, powerful drums and electronic soundscapes that perfectly embodies the tone and the atmosphere of Max Payne 3.

A completely surprising yet equally welcomed cover of one of the biggest (and most overplayed) party anthems from LMFAO.

Unsigned Americana-acoustic artist Noah confronts the dance tune head on, bringing us one of the most genuine renditions of “Sexy and I Know It”. His talented smokey voice paired with quite acoustic guitar strums breaths fresh air into the already worn out single. Download below.

Vocalist Maggie Horn and producer Sammy Bananas make up Telephoned, a Brooklyn-based duo with a knack for delicious pop originals and covers.

Their latest project is a reimagining of Fun.’s mega hit, “We Are Young,” where Horn’s smooth vocals glide over Sammy’s Top Gun-style synth backdrop, eventually giving way to a big bouncy club beat.

Listen bellow and grab a free download of the track here.

The psychedelic experiments from Brooklyn-based group Yeasayer return with a new song titled “Henrietta”. We All Want Someone To Shout For, reports that the tune appeared online shortly after physical copies of the CD were sent to fans on the band’s mailing list.

A simple idea. Gather 23 music blogs for 23 summery tracks, compile and effortlessly mix each tune into a wonderful and refreshing summer mixtape. And our friends at dailybeatz have done just that (for the thrid year in a row).

We present you with one of the most eclectic hour long mixtapes you will ever hear. Hazy indie rock, sharp and clean bouncy pop, jazz, hip/hop to even some gritty electronic music. We all have a different definition of what a summer song is for us, and clearly so do all the 23 music blogs that participated this year.

Energetic. Heart Pumping. Dance inducing. Those are just a few terms you could use to describe Chris Lake‘s live performances. A true master of his crowds, Chris Lake knows how to throw down an incredibly entertaining set. His house-based style ranges all over the spectrum, keeping the crowd intrigued, and engaged throughout the experience.

Brutally Honest. Quick Witted. Off-the-cuff. Those are just a few terms you could use about Chris Lake as a person. We were lucky enough to have a chance to sit down with Chris at Beta Nightclub, and get to know him a bit. In one of the most fun interviews we’ve conducted, Chris covered topics that range from keepsakes from home that are always with him on the road, to Brittany Spears. We hope this interview gives you an insight, and even more so, an appreciation of this unique individual. Enjoy.

TMN: Thanks for coming to Colorado, Chris. Welcome back to Beta Nightclub. Is there anything that stands out when you visit Denver?
CL: It’s just a good place to come to. Everyone that works here (Beta Nightclub) seems very passionate about what they do. Everyone that comes here are up for it, and they’re passionate about the music. They seem to be very open, musically, to different things as well. It’s a very nice environment to come to.

TMN: You’re in the midst of a huge US tour right now, getting ready to head out to San Diego to play with TJR. Talk to us about that.

CL: We’re doing a Rising Music showcase. I play a lot in San Diego, I love that city. We’re just all going to play some records and have some fun in the sun.

TMN: What’s one thing from home that you always bring with you on tour?

CL: My wife is huge on travel charms and she gave me this necklace, which I dare say most people have noticed I wear in almost every single photo that you ever see of me. I always wear this. I think it’s some sort of foreign writing, I don’t know what it means. But then it also has Ganesh as well, to protect me while I’m traveling.

That’s the only thing I take that has no function.

TMN: Every time we see you, whether in video interviews or on festivals, you are always enjoying yourself and having a laugh. Talk to us about what it’s like to be on tour and how you keep that energetic, happy vibe going.

I’ve been blessed to pursue this for over half my life now. My family realized way before me that I had a musical ability, and they started me on lessons to develop it, when I was like 11 or 12. Ever since then it’s just developed. I learned about electronic music and synthesizers and I got excited by music production.

The industry makes me happy. There’s lots of things about the industry that pisses me off as well. You know, but I certainly feel like I’m in this industry for all the right reasons, and I try to make the most out of it. That’s why I have a positive approach to things.

TMN: Rising Music has been on fire this year, with “Funky Vodka” being an amazing contribution to the EDM scene. What are some of the challenges of running your own label? How is the discovery process for finding talented producers?

CL: Well, there’s been a few artists that I’ve helped out in various ways and forms. I think sometimes it’s about recognizing that someone’s got musical talent or any sort of talent, and trying to work out the best way that they can use it.

You know, TJR is a good example of that. I met DJ through LA Riots, and he started playing me these records. He sent me this record and said “Hey check this one out, this track is called ‘Funky Vodka. I want to put it out as a free download on Soundcloud.” And I listened to it and said, “You’d be a bloody idiot to give this as a free download on Soundcloud.” Not that I think music shouldn’t be put out for free, I don’t have an issue with that at all. That record really has something about it. I heard it straight away. He had the opportunity of getting that record out to a lot more people than probably the three to four thousand people that might have downloaded it for free. And his career is really taken off right now.

It’s little things like that, just recognizing good records.

TMN: So we’re going to throw you a random question, because we heard you like them. If your music was an animal, what would it be?

TMN: Tell us about your guilty pleasures – any favorite TV shows, or songs people wouldn’t normally see you listening to?

CL: As in something that’s really uncool as shit? I’ve got loads of them.

TMN: Give us your top three.

CL: Pop record that I think is amazing is Brittany Spears – Toxic. I’m not big into cheesy TV…I don’t think there’s any TV show that I can think of.

Well this isn’t that embarrassing, but I just really love chocolate. I’m literally addicted to chocolate. It’s been quite a problem at points in my life. I’m doing alright with it at the moment though.

TMN: Anything else you would like to tell your fans?

CL: I’m doing an album. I’ve taken an eternity to finish this album. But it’s because I’m takIing the approach of, every single one of the records on this album I would be quite happy to release as a single. I don’t want any fillers. I really feel like I’m at that point.

So, we’re releasing them as we go. Stand Alone is coming out next. And I’ve done a record with John Dahlback, one we’re going to put out in a couple of weeks called I Saw this Before – it’s fucking crazy.

Sigh, nothing surprises me anymore. Let’s review the facts here. It has been reported that Paris Hilton has gone Dutch dating dj/producer Afrojack (Seen here together at Ultra 2012). That, plus the fact that she does spin on her spare times for private party and friends makes this venture all the more obvious. Following the natural evolution of music and the explosion of dance music, DJ’s are the new rock stars and leave it to Paris Hilton to try to capitalize on a trend.

What do you guys think of her new venture? Leave your feedback in the comments bellow.
