Aeroplane swoops in with a massive Balearic disco jam that conjures images of sunny tropical beaches. “We Can’t Fly” sounds like a Larry Levan b-side to “Standing on the World” or even a track that could have been on the “Hair” soundtrack. It also reminds me of Carly Simon’s “Why”.
Be sure to check out the massive 80s synth laden remix of Breakbot’s “Baby I’m Yours”. I thought after Siriusmo’s remix that no one could top it but this might have.
In a time when the blogosphere is overly saturated and overly compressed like all our favorite banger tracks, it is refreshing to know that a DJ/producer such as Jean Nipon exists and is on the quest to bring quality music to our ears and dancefloors. A DJ that is out to moves minds, hearts and feet.
Jean Nipon teams up with Sixpack to release his latest mix, “Fire Walk With Me”. A collection of tunes that Jean Nipon describes as “like my bedroom soundtrack with no commercial sense. There is nothing to promote here. Just take the car, cruise, and push play.” Any mix that includes Todd Rundgren, Fleetwood Mac, and Yes – I support so buy the CD and Shirt here.
“Free music or paying music, bad music and good music; for youngsters, it’s all on the same level. You don’t have to look for the grail anymore. You are no longer forced to have the “intention” to create your own musical quest, your own musical identity.” – Jean Nipon
A clash of Pop Culture titans: adidas, Star Wars, David Beckham, Daft Punk, Snoop Dogg, Franz Beckenbauer, Noel Gallagher, Ian Brown, Ciara, Jay Baruchel, and DJ Neil Armstrong all in time for the World Cup.
Holy Ghost! returns to their remix roots with this reworking of Monarchy’s “Love Get Out Of My Way” with the help of Berlin based producer Dixon. This time with a funky harpsichord and fat synth bassline that would make any late 70s/early 80s discotheque groove hard. This is definitely the heaviest production to come from Holy Ghost due in part to the fantastic drum solo that occurs during the bridge courtesy of Jerry Fuchs, RIP. Be sure to check out their live version of the duo in band form coming to a city near you.
1,2,3 are a LA duo by way of Pittsburgh, a band doing some interesting stuff within the guitar-rock world. Just listen to the first few seconds and you will hear some weird/cool production – chunky guitars, thick drums, and psychedelic poppy vox. The outro guitar part sounds so familiar – anyone have any ideas/

Caribou’s “Odessa” has been a sunshine/summer tune that has been on repeat for me. Somehow Caribou takes Four Tet’s angelic production, “Angel Echoes” and turns it into a dark and demonic, dancefloor devastating tune.

Mystery Jets return with yet more Pop magic. “Dreaming of Another World” is their first single off of Seratonin an apropos album title for a band that always seems to make me smile. And to accompany this bittersweet tune is this gorgeous music video. Enjoy. POSI-POP!
Spent all day letting the new Kanye song simmer and sit with me and I came to the verdict that it is blogworthy and quite good. It is Kanye doing what Kanye does and this time sampling King Crimson?! Sure! Why not?

So apparently Major Lazer & La Roux banger collab broke the Mad Decent server. I guess everyone is desperate for some new summer party jams and this is exactly what this mixtape is, nothing more nothing less. Be sure to check out The Creators Project video piece on the genius and madness that is Diplo. He is just a dude that just gets it.
