REMIX: Futurecop! feat. Diana Gen and Starrset - Starworshipper (Lenno Remix)


I have been a big fan of Lenno's remixes lately. He spins this tune by Futurecop! into a big house number.

Shuffled: CFCF - Big Love


I love putting my iPod on shuffle and seeing what pops up. I especially love when it's a song I loved in the past and totally forgot about. As I placed my iPod on suffle (of 13,916 songs - yes), this one came up. I remember jamming to this as I drove home on warm days after long classes and as I worked at my past job. Just a cool, mellow subdued dancey track. This "shuffled" track comes from Montrealer CFCF off his debut LP Continent (released in 2009). A new EP, Exercises, will be released on Paper Bag records in April.

CFCF - Big Love

Here's a track from CFCF's upcoming EP Exercises.

CFCF - Exercise #3 (Building)

New song from California's shoegazy noise-rock group (former duo but now five-piece) Crocodiles. Their new album, Endless Flowers, is out June 5th on Frenchkiss Records.

REMIX: Martin Solveig - The Night Out (A-Track Remix)


Now here's a really good banger courtesy of A-Track and Martin Solveig.



NEW Santigold - Disparate Youth


American Santigold (formerly Santogold) is back with a new song, "Disparate Youth," from her upcoming sophmore release, Master of My Make-Believe, due out sometime this spring.  It's a must listen. I've been hitting repeat many many times.

On Repeat: Young Galaxy - Peripheral Visionaries

It seems that I can't stop listening to this one (again). "Peripheral Visionaries" is from Montreal's Young Galaxy. The track is taken off their third album, Shapeshifting, which is HIGHLY recommended. Give it a listen!

A Massive Washed Out Post

Atlanta-based Washed Out, a.k.a Ernest Greene, has been one of my favourite musical acts since the release of the dreamy summery pop song "Feel It All Around" in 2009.  Washed Out was recently featured on CNN's segment #MusicMonday, which is included below.


Washed Out has released two EP's - 2009's "High Times" and "Life of Leisure" - and one LP - 2011's "Within and Without." "Within and Without" was my soundtrack to summer 2011. I had it on repeat constantly.

Here are some of my favourite Washed Out tracks!
Washed Out - Feel It All Around (from Life of Leisure)
Washed Out - Belong (from High Times)
Washed Out - You'll See It (from Life of Leisure)

Washed Out - Echoes (From Within and Without)
"Echoes" made my Top 20 Songs of 2011 in the 5th spot.

Washed Out - Eyes Be Closed (from Within and Without)

Washed Out - Before (from Within and Without)

Washed Out - Amor Fati (from Within and Without)

Washed Out - It's Kate's Birthday (how can this not be one of my favourites? Thanks Washed Out!) (from High Times)
Plus of course...
Washed Out - New Theory (RAC Remix)

VIDEO: Korallreven - Sa Sa Samoa

I find myself listening to An Album By Korallreven, the deput LP from Swedish duo Korallreven Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder (released last November), a lot lately.  They recently released a video for "Sa Sa Samoa," an amazing track off the LP that takes you on an ethereal journey through layers of sound. Their sound can be described as belaeric electronic dreamy chillout indie pop. So perfect.


Here are some other good tracks off the LP.

Korallreven - Loved-Up

Korallreven - The Truest Faith

The Early Dawn "Mix"

It's late here, verging on dawn. I can't seem to sleep and have been up all night finishing some school work. I found myself listening to the same songs as I worked through mountains of readings.  These seem to be the ones I gravitated toward. May as well make some tea and get some breakfast ready. Good morning!

bittertv - moonlightritual
So chillwavy. So relaxing. Such a great little jam.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Tapes & Money
I love Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Those beats. Feet don't fail me now...

Body Language - You Can (Keep Shelly in Athens Remix)
Keep Shelly in Athens spin this into a blissful dark synth tune.

Nneka - My Home
Oh this song. Beautiful vocals, great beats and very catchy.

Lancelot - We Can Dance (Goldroom Remix)
The merging of all the different sounds. Such an addictive remix.

Cherub - Doses and Mimosas
Electro-funky.
