Ray Ban threw some dolla bills at the legendary Johnny Marr and Best Coast girl Betheny Cosentino and the result is this “In Your Sleep” song. Marr also spread that sunglasses cash to Tom Vek, Au Revoir Simone and others for the project.

Phantogram – Nightlife

phantogram

So Phantogram’s return single of their sophomore LP Nightlife “Don’t Move” fucking ripped. Now the more quiet (but no less awesome) title track surfaces. We couldn’t be more psyched for this record!

Diggy – Do It Like You (Feat. Jeremih)

diggy

If this shit gets the right amount radio spins it’s a Top 5 hit on Billboard. I usually listen to Z Hip Hop Cleveland during the day while I’m working, “Do It Like You” should do nicely between “Make Me Proud”, “She Will” & “I Gotta Chick”. Mr. Birthday Sex, Jeremih, chips in on vocal duties.

New Look – Numbers (Ianborg Remix)

ianborg

Canadian producer Ianborg just dropped off this grown as hell remix of New Look’s “Numbers”. On the track, sultry synths give way to an understated chug-wobble all framing Sarah Ruba’s deep-in-the-mix vocal . This remix is absolute FIRE. LISTEN.

RAVE’S FAVE: Justice – Parade

justice2

Finally the Justice Audio Video Disco album drops next Tuesday. Initial track “Civilization” is one of the most-requested songs on my radio show this year. The guys cite a strong Led Zeppelin influence on this album and “Parade” is all over that intensity. The intro bass line is definitely Zeppelin. “Parade” is packed full of 70’s progressive with almost too many memorable melody lines to count. It’s like “We Will Rock You” for the next generation. Contributed by Bruce Rave

Probably our favorite new MC, our man ASAP inked a deal with RCA last week. First Harlem, then the world. The buttery, piano-driven “Out of This World” goes ASAP in. ASAP.
