It's that time again, as we make our way towards mid-October and the collective gaze of the music industry falls upon CMJ and all the beautiful chaos that comes with it. Last year we brought you the first annual New Shapes party, which saw everyone from Theophilus London and Darwin Deez to Chief and Local Natives grace the stage at Santos Party House. This year we're going even bigger with it, moving to the wide open spaces of Brooklyn and the multiple stages of Public Assembly, and it's finally time to bring the curtain back on what's easily the biggest event we've ever been a part of.

Chess Club are once again our partners in promotional crime for this event, and we've also teamed up with the UK's Plugged In PR to help us bring you one of the best and brightest line ups on offer at CMJ this year. It's all going down at Public Assembly on Thursday the 21st of October, from 3pm to 3am, with two stages and over 20 amazing new bands playing over the course of the evening. Below you'll find the full line up and schedule for the night, complete with mp3s so you can sample the artists on the menu for the evening. Tickets are currently on sale via the event page HERE, and at only $12 a pop that's a hell of a bang for your buck so you'd do well to move quickly and reserve your ticket today. And as this is an official CMJ event, we will also be opening the door to a limited number of CMJ badge holders, but as space is limited you'd be wise to arrive early to ensure entry.

P-rops to the neon gold blog, getting their smutty hands all over the newly single Vito De Luca ala Aeroplane and his remix of Australian boys Gypsy & the Cat.

Having just finished up a highly successful sprint on the Parklife 2010 Tour the blazing horizon keeps getting closer and closer and eventual success internationally for g&tc.

The Aeroplane remix of ‘Pipers Song’ as noted on the neon gold blog has some similar traits to what Passion Pit have been delivering recently, fun music for fun people.

Here’s a remix that hasn’t quite got the attention it deserves, there’s been an unmastered version floating about… and how amazing is to see a young talent we’ve all been backing for so long really start playing with the big boys.

Starsmith’s Give Me A Break/Knuckleduster EP is out on the 18th of October through Neon Gold. You might have heard some radio rips already. Give Me A Break will be coming your way as soon as humanly possible.

Get at the lad Starsmith and tell him he’s a legend on @starsmiff

Penguin Prison is doing it right. Solid art, solid remixes, solid everything! To help push the release of the “The Worse It Gets” “7 vinyl, Neon Gold has commissioned remixes by the two lovelies known as RAC and Starsmith. Both of which deliver the kind of disco-pop that feels good around this time of year in the Middle West and I recommend you give them a listen. Thumbs up.

Last month, we fell headfirst into a pool of Penguin Prison pop radness, and we still don’t want to get out! With a new song, Something I’m Not, continuing to rock our body, as well as his penchant for fine tuning a number of fixes for musical counterparts, the local tunester has solidified his spot in Beastonia. Yep, he’s here to stay.

  

Somthing I’m Not sees a proper release via the badass label, Neon Gold, on March 22. Remixes come from Krispin Korg, Friends Electric, Luxury Living and Starsmith.

We’re psyched to drop 3 of the fixes on you today…the other, you’ll have to wait until next week. Guess which one…or just scroll down a little bit and you’ll see for yourself.

We’re easy like that.
