It's the Supersound

I’m pleased to announce the debut of Only Children‘s very first EP! Don’t Stop is arriving just in time for the heat of the Summer here in Chicago and with remixes from the likes of Bit Funk, Crazy P, Hey Champ and Mighty Mouse, this thing is absolutely perfect for anything from backyard chillin’ to late-night jackin’.

Stream a few of the remixes below/ on Soundcloud and head over to Beatport for the full release. For all you fellow vinyl heads out there, “Don’t Stop” pressings will be available on July 12 via Turntable Lab, Juno, etc. Also, if you’re in Chicago over the next couple of dates I HIGHLY suggest hitting up these celebration parties. With Life During Wartime being one of the best parties in the city and SmartBar arguably the best club, it’s truly a win/ win situation.

Release parties:
Saturday, July 9 @ The Hideout:
Life During Wartime (8th Anniversary Party)
10pm / 21+ / Info

Friday, July 15 @ SmartBar:
w/ Todd Terje

Tropicool, radicool, sun-kissed nation vibration. Coconuts and mindtai’s. Heads in the clouds and your feet in the water. Babes in bikini’s, cool pool parties, and crackin’ freshies at the beach with your toes in the sand. Which brings me to my next point. Why don’t you sexy ladies out there wear the 80′s retro thong bikinis arching high above your thighs, that truely accentuate those dirty dancin’ stems of yours?  Bring it back, please, we beg you.

Here’s the tenth installment of Waves ≠ Raves, and might actually be my favorite compilation of the bunch. So be rad, don’t tell dad, and do the jungle boogie.

“The waves ≠ raves consists of hand-picked gems that inspire us, tickling and tempting our creative juices. Some are old, some are new, but it is what we are listening to now. They are groovey, flowing, and sun-kissed just like that perfect wave. They are uplifting and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. They sound the best with a babe in one hand, a cold brewski in the other, and the sand beneath your feet. Stay Dreamy.”

Usher-DJ Got Us Fallin In Love (Ad Brown remix)

Make me happy music here folks.  For those that follow this blog know I have a soft spot for 80′s synth pop and in particular anything related to depeche mode.  Though in this post, it’s a matter of 1 degree removed, as in Vince Clark founding member left the band to create Yazoo and later Erasure.   Andy Bell (front man and singer for Erasure) has just released his new solo effort called, “Non-Stop”.  See, it’s related : P

Anyhoo, here are two remixes that have the “sweet spot” for me.   The first is by “Hey Champ” and they take Andy’s album cut and infused some polished disco dust on it.  I actually prefer this remix over the album version.

Andy Bell – Call On Me (Hey Champ Remix)

The second is the winner, and rightly fully so, of the recent remix contest Andy had for his track, “Say What You Want”.  This remix was created by a Ste Ashworth.  I have no idea who Ste is, but I sure as hell loved how he framed Andy’s voice in an Erasure-esque backing track.  Love it!
