Mount Kimbie recently played at the Belgian festival, 10 Days Off showcasing new tracks from their fantastic album, “Crooks & Lovers”. This live performance is part DJ set meets live electronics with guitar- a very tasteful and delicate way of bringing their gorgeous music to a live environment. I will definitely be at their Brooklyn show, check out their North American tour dates here.

Active Child get the 90s Balearic Disco treatment by Classixx. Sparkling RnB chords fall over Active Child’s emotionally charged falsetto creating the one of the most emotional summer jams of the year.

Jimmy Whoo takes on the one and only, MF DOOM. A bold and almost blasphemous act but Mr. Whoo pulls it off, creating a summer feel good jam with his take on Doom’s “My Favorite Ladies”.

WHAT?! Total mind explosion as Mr. Tom Jenkinson aka Squarepusher, one of my top 3 bassists of all time is about to release a new project through Ed Banger Records. A big and legitimate step for Ed Banger as they continue their quest to prove they are more than side-chained compression and square waves. Shobaleader One is out at the end of August and will also a feature a remix by Mr. Oizo (?!). I am quite excited for this new found collaboration.
What a perfect summer jam. Calypso infused dance pop via Herve & Sinden featuring the lovely posi-popsters, the Mystery Jets. Dance y’all.

An analog fever seems to be sweeping Australia with the Midnight Juggernauts moving into a warmer/psychedlic realm and the stoner rockers, Tame Impala making big moves around the world. Cut Copy follows suit and return with “Where I’m Going” – a very 70s tinged pop rock tune featuring Gary Glitter “Rock and Roll Part 2” Schaeffel Beat drums and over the top kids screaming “Yeah! Yeah!”. Next up is Van She, let’s see what they come up with next.

I have been following the London based duo, Mount Kimbie for a while – as they offer a refreshing sonic palette cleanser in an over saturated/banger world. I probably listen to their track “Maybes” at last once a day. July 19, 2010 marks the release of their full length album “Crooks & Lovers” a piece of recording that pays homage to the album format and is a true sonic journey. The one and only James Blake makes a few cameos on the album as well.
Check out “Field” off of “Crooks & Lovers” as well as a live video in Oslo from 2009 with James Blake.
Stream the entire album over on FACT Magazine

Kisses’ “The Heart of the Nightlife” has been a major soundtrack for the summer for me. A perfect way to spend 37 mins when I need to escape to a balearic disco pop world. “People Can Do The Most Amazing Things” is a perfect follow up to the sparkling pop sound of “Bermuda” this time with a darker vibe but still retaining that smooth vox that remind me of The Whitest Boy Alive.

Jono Ma of Lost Valentinos re-vision Foals’ latest single “Miami” into a slow disco funk tune that slinks and slides across the dancefloor. A refreshing take on the original’s funky vibe especially how Yannis’ falsetto floats chunky beats.
