A tribute to the man that would not stop smiling.

I first heard of Sinjin Hawke when I heard the remix that him and the LOL Boys did of 702’s “Steelo” a tune that I play out quite a lot, a funky 2-step remix that always gets a good response. The Montreal native Sinjin Hawke has put together a full free download of all his RnB/Hip-Hip Bootlegs. It is a very impressive collection of re-visionings of some of the big hits of 2011 as well as some classic RnB cuts. Head over to Truants Blog for an interview with Sinjin Hawke.

Oizo returns with “France7” a track from his upcoming album, “Stade 2”. It is the usual yet so awesome Mr. Oizo that we all know and love. Imagine a synth that is farting and dying at the same time that producing this mutated funky acid that is slowly inchworming its way onto the dancefloor. It’s fucking weird but way too fucking cool.

Bibio traverses into smooth disco territory that was once ruled by Alan Braxe & Fred Falke. With this remix of Noah & The Whale’s “Waiting for My Chance to Come” Bibio does his best Alan Braxe & Fred Falke impression with a slick bassline and kick/cowbell-on-4 drum pattern. But to truly Bibio-it-up there is a super smooth guitar solo interlude and a gnarly squelching outro synth solo. More music from Bibio!

Emil & Friends is one day away from releasing the debut album, Lo & Behold. Eleven songs that take the listener on a genre trip. The single after the thoughtful “Prescriptions” is “Crystal Ball” a tune that pulls from the bloghaus sounds of 2007 and the big electro-pop of 2009 but with a fresh vibe of 2011. I will let the songs speak for itself and let your feet do the dancing.

PS Let’s play the a good ol’ game of get the MP3 to the top of the Hypemachine charts and give a little <3 to “Crystal Ball”

I don’t know much about
patten just that @electrodrone sent me over some of his stuff and that I like its warm vibes. Somewhere between Lone, Gold Panda with a touch of Tangerine Dream is where patten’s music exists with his hazy and warm production style. “Fire dream” is swarming with fuzzed out synths that engulf you while a hypnotic bassline is propelled by dirty articulate hi-hats in a 2-step drum pattern. patten’s full length album, “GLAQJO XAACSSO” is out now on No Pain In Pop.

This is new Justice album is quite promising. All I keep hearing is Queen “Flash Gordon”, later ELO mixed with Dire Straits produced by Yellow Magic Orchestra which is something I totally am fine with. I am glad that someone like Justice are being the ambassadors of this classic sound. Now I am off to listen to Dire Straits “Sultans of Swing”.

Fort Lean are one of the very few bands that are amazing songwriters, musicians, performers and all around good people. We, Emil & Friends had the pleasure of sharing a bill with them a few weeks ago and I must say they put on quite a rock show. I hope to play with them in the near future. Till then I suggest to you all to try to catch them live sometime during CMJ. Here is a music video directed by a “Friend” that lays down the beats for Emil who is coincidently a fantastic director, Alex Russek. Enjoy!

Chairlift’s latest tunes have been throughly impressing me. First with the slinky pop vibe of the absurdly titled “Amanaemonesia” and Caroline Polachek’s talent to turn that word into a hook while dancing around in a spandex onesie. Now with the track “Peculiar Paradise” the Chairlift duo is venturing into some serious late 80s/early 90s territory. I love the synth sounds and how the big chorus just comes in after the very slinky verse.

Kindness is Adam Bainbridge from the UK who has teamed up with the one and only Philippe Zdar on his latest track “Cyan” off his forthcoming album, out next year. It is a slinky disco track in the vain of the disco punk sounds of NYC that ruled the early aughts. I am very curious to what this full length album shall sound like.
