The Aussie duo, Collarbones return with a new track from their upcoming album “Die Young” which will be out this Sept. “Missing” is the first track off their sophomore album which delves deeper into this neo-RnB-bass genre that is constantly mutating. Let’s bring on the deep vibes…

“Pure Fun” is the only way I can describe what Mr. Todd Edwards created with this remix of Little Boots’ latest single “Headphones”. Todd digs in with a deep 2-step shuffle that explodes into a huge Pop chorus with “la la’s” that will be stuck in your head all day. This is a perfect summer jam.

Shuttle has landed once again with a new re-working of Spank Rock and Santigold’s “Car Song” – a serious clash of Baltimore minds. Shuttle transforms “Car Song” into a dark hip-hop club banger that just gets me excited for Shuttle’s full length release which will hopefully be out soon.

PS. This is still an amazing remix.

Mr. Chill Gonzales is returning with a sequel to his beautiful album, “Solo Piano” entitled “Solo Piano II”. It is a collection of piano pieces that will take you through an introspective journey and make question everything – enjoy.

The French boogie maestro, Onra teams up with the Fool’s Gold Record family to release a new EP, “Deep In The Night” which is out June 12. “L.O.V.E.” is the first cut off the EP and is definitely an Onra boogie filled tune that will not disappoint. Groove on.

NYC had a slight taste of the summer to come with its perfect weather and sunshine. I put together this mix of tunes that captures that feeling as the afternoon fades into the night and the beer and BBQ is never in short supply. #vibes

I caught Kindness down at the Fader Fort down at SXSW back in March and was very excited to see the live rendition of Adam Bainbridge’s project. Kindness did not come with their A-game at SXSW, granted it was their third show as a band and they did not have a proper soundcheck, I was mildly disappointed. I am a forgiving person and decided to give them a second chance and caught them live last night at Le Poisson Rouge at Josh & Dave P’s Fixed party. My experience was far from what I heard and saw down at SXSW, for they put on one of the most fun and entertaning shows I have been to in a while.
