The Rapture – Sail Away (Cut Copy Remix)

rapturesailaway

This A-level remix for “Sail Away” from electronic heavyweight champs Cut Copy joins remixes of the track from Aeroplane and Cosmic Kids on a new DFA release. Cut Copy takes an already “pretty good” song, one of their better tunes on In the Grace of Your Love, levels up all its the head ringin’ components and blasts it into some kind of heater stratosphere. That’s something you’re gonna want to be apart of. Hit that play button.

Monsieur Adi – Starry Eyed x Lucky Star x Sexual Healing (Ellie Goulding x Madonna x Marvin Gaye)

monsieuradi

Ellie Goulding remixes probably take up approx. 22% of all server space on hulkshare. They’re evvvvvvvvvverrrrryyyyywhere and played out as hell. Right. But you’ve probably never heard that Starry Eyed vocal track flipped quite like this. Monsieur Adi totally takes it there. Suiting up Ellie with Marvin’s “Sexual Healing” and Madge’s “Lucky Star” for a 80’s-smooth/cruisin-in-my-yacht take on the track. Put a sweater on.

And then it happened… one of our favorite electronic musicians went and remixed maybe our favorite new artist right now, period. It’s Shlohmo doing a beautiful future-garage version of Lianne La Havas’ “Forget”. Do not miss it.

British Sea Power – A Light Above Descending

By Chris Gedos

britishseapower

“A Light Above Descending” calls to mind The Decline of British Sea Power, back when “Remember Me” spoke for a sub-generation and band members were getting injured at every other show. I recall with fondness Wayne Coyne’s quote from my old BSP poster: “They’re just a good band. They have trees on stage and they’re doing something really exciting. I wish they’d take more care on stage though. If they carry on like that they’ll injure themselves.” Coyne may very well have been at the Grog Shop with us in 2004, when Yan infamously swung on the rafters from the stage to the soundbooth and back. Maybe the past isn’t a foreign country.

Sam Sure & Giacomo – Dark Inside

samsureandgiacomo

Sam Sure & Giacomo are new electronic duo out of London that do beats-heavy atmospheric pop. We can dig that and we can dig the pair’s new track for “Dark Inside”. Not unlike the tune’s title, “Dark Inside” is dark & brooding at it’s core, but with enough punch in drums and lift in the vocal track not to totally bum you out.
