LISTEN: “The Bike Song” by Mark Ronson featuring Spank Rock and Kyle Falconer
Mark Ronson, I love you. Catchy, fun song not just about aimlessly riding your bike but about some srsbsns, and growing up and shizz, complete with bike bell rings in the beat.
Record Collection is to be released in the end of September.
LISTEN: “The Drug” by Royksopp
Seems like Junior was just released last week or something, but I’m super hyped for their new album, Senior. “The Drug” is the first single off of the new album and its beautiful and mellow. Their little blurb about it really puts it in perspective:
This highly synthetic drug is the latest craze. Gentle and appealing at first. Repeated use will result in severe personality distortion. Hear that little sound in your head? That ever decaying little “melody”? ..That’s your mind going…
Royksopp’s instrumental tracks have always been my favorite and this one definitely does not disappoint. Buy the track over on iTunes.
LISTEN: “Alive (Joakim NRG Dub)” by Goldfrapp
Sooo the Goldfrapp single for “Alive” has been out since June but this is a perfect time to show Joakim some love. If you are in New York, Joakim is doing a show at the basement of the Tribeca Grand this Saturday. This remix has been my jam for the last few weeks because its so freaking disco it hurts. I’m going to say that its probably going to be in my 2010 favorite tracks. Make sure to buy the “Alive” remix package featuring a vocal version by Joakim, a remixes by Tensnake and others.
LISTEN: “Don’t Turn the Lights On” by Chromeo
Smooth new single out from Chromeo. Sounds like a sexysexysexy song straight out of the 80s. Especially love the instrumental on this - funky! Make sure to buy the single on iTunes
LISTEN: “Love Get Out of My Way (Holy Ghost! Dub)” by Monarchy
Wow I really wish I had the actual mp3 of this because it is just incredible. You like disco funk? Because this song is perfection (also dancers and scary prancing children are cool too I guess). Annie Mac premiered this on her show so this is just a rip but look out for the actual download along with a vocal edit in the future.
LISTEN: “Bang Bang Bang” by Mark Ronson featuring MNDR and Q-Tip (via The Fader)
Mark Ronson premiered “Bang Bang Bang” a few days ago on Zane Lowe’s show. It’s a super catchy pop song with a fairly simple beat. Nice vocals on MNDR sounding like a British Santigold.
Record Collection is set to be released in September and features collaborations with Boy George, Miike Snow, Theophilius London and others
