Emil & Friends : Polish Girl (Neon Indian Cover)
Emil & Friends re-visions Neon Indians’ uptempo synth pop song into a slow burner banger. Stream and download the cover below. Also be sure to pick up the new Kitsuné AMERICA compilation featuring a new Emil & Friends song entitled “Royal Oats”.
“Originally a purely synth based uptempo dancefloor-glider, Alan Palomo’s single from his last LP, “Polish Girl” was reworked in my head as a slow steady head banger, seemingly off of the drive soundtrack, with obnoxious rock guitars pounding away on the down beats. Lather, rinse, and repeat.” – Emil

Van She x SebastiAn
Hello vintage bloghaus. This is quite a pairing to bring us all back to the ancient bloghaus days. A time when bangers ruled the web and leaked mp3s were scarce and gave power to those blogs that leaked it onto a pre-historic hypem. Do you remember those days? Van She in hand with SebastiAn takes us down nostalgia road with a remix of Van She’s latest single “Idea of Happiness”. It is everything we know and love about how SebastiAn can chop, distort, and compress a tune into its proper banger glory. I’m not mad – u mad?

Nautiluss : Alpha EP
Nautiluss is the alias of Toronto-based producer Graham Zilla who is channeling the UK club spirit with warm acid-techno vibes. His “Alpha EP” is a collection of 4 tracks that borrow Lone’s warm synth sounds and mixes them with Joy Orbison and Boddika’s deep house & acid sounds. “Cloud City” and “Mixed Numbers” are the two standout tracks for me on this release. These tunes will be on rotation for me this summer.

Kindness : House
The mysterious Kindness has one over my heart with his album “World, You Need A Change of Mind”. It is an album that sits in a place somewhere between nostalgic music while being the most exciting and forward thinking collection tunes out today. After reading this candid Q&A with Kindness in Interview Mag, you really get an understanding of what a self-aware character Adam Bainbridge is and how he curates and positions himself.
“House” is a standout tune on the album. It is most fit for a “single” with its simple piano chords, big pop synth sounds and its emotional hook that you just want to sing along with. “World, You Need a Change of Mind” is out May 8 in the US on Terrible Records/Casablanca Records. Pre-Order the album here. For those of you in NYC, Kindness will make his live debut at Le Poisson Rouge May 17 and DJ at the Tribeca Grand May 19.
Also could this be the drum sample in for the track? Ace Frehley “New York Groove”? Good ear, Geoff.
PS Check out this mixtape I made for COLT+RANE that I close with “House”.
