It's the Supersound

Are you ready to get sexy? Death Metal Disco Scene just shot us over their fantastic take on a timeless classic dance pop track, and we’re spinning this (super loud) in the hopes that it leads to the sultriest of situations.

It’s safe to say we’re on "team DMDS" 100% after replaying their most ridiculously rad remixes (see: Zambri and Gorillaz), and now, we’ve got even more reason to champion David and Scorch. 

Coming in with a lusciously intimate cover of Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance With Somebody, DMDS entertain us with soft vocals and an undertone beat that reminds us of the best parts of Chris De Burgh’s’ Lady In Red.

Seriously…this is really really good. Get it below.

If I haven’t been beating it into both my and your heads enough, Sia’s upcoming 4th studio album, We Are born, is set to be properly poppy and most radically awesome in every sense. After having let you in on the original April release date, and with the Aussie-singer in talks with major labels, the new release date for the offering is now June 7.

Popjustice, our pals who know all the knowings before anyone, have additional info on the Greg Kurstin-produced album, along with a clip of lead single, Clap Your Hands (beware: they could only shell out 1.5 seconds, but hell if we don’t already love it).

Last year, we actually got a listen in on 2 of the songs that will appear on We Are Born (full track list is below). And yes, Oh Father is a cover of the Madonna song. We swoon. (more info on the album and upcoming video for Clap Your Hands can be found over on PaperMag…thanks to our pal, Alex!)

1. The Fight

2. Clap Your Hands 

3. Stop Trying

4. You’ve Changed

5. Be Good To Me

6. Bring Night

7. Hurting Me Now

8. Never Gonna Leave Me

9. Cloud

10. I’m In Here

11. The Co-Dependent

12. Big Girl, Little Girl

13. Oh Father

14. Hold Me Down

Note: these are live versions, one recorded at a 2009 show in Sydney, and the other from a friend of a friend of a cousin of a friend’s wedding…or something like that. Either way, we’re super plussed about both of them, so have a listen. Yeah, I’m that girl posting live recs of rightfully amazing work. Go on and reprimand me. I’ll wait.

Whoever said you can’t keep a good woman down obviously had the foresight to know that Ruth Flowers was soon to be hot on the DJ scene. She spins at the hottest clubs in Paris, wears some of the freshest duds, and she’s called "Mamy" by those closest to her. See, Ruth is 69 years old…and she literally kills on the decks.

"It’s a little bit glammy…a bit over the top, perhaps. But it fits the bill, I think", the softspoken sextagenarian quips about her musical styles. Influenced by her grandson’s music she heard at his birthday party at a London nightclub. "I was dumbfound…there was such an atmosphere! It was so different from the parties I used to go when I was young. There was a real osmosis between the lights and the music, it really drove and made me feel so much younger."

Since the budding DJ was on pension, she had a lot of free time. Her grandson introduced her to a French producer and they hit it off immediately. With the help of his team, she began to book local gigs and now mans the music at hot spots throughout France. Up next for Ruth? Her debut single, Mamy Rock, is scheduled for an as-yet-to-be-determined release.

Watch part of her original web series, Behind the Decks, below. (I had no idea she was this legit when I joke-tweeted about her earlier this week.)

Tayisha Busay have been rocking my body since I first caught ‘em live back in January. Now, I along with they, are super-pee-in-ya-pants-excited to announce the debut of their first 5 song EP, SHOCK-WOO. It’s a self-released album that the nasty trio has been fundraising for and they’ll be promoting it on a mini-tour this month. 

To celebrate, these gnarly beasts are throwing an explosive dance party with live sets by Nite Club, Planet Rump, and of course they’ll get on stage and toss out a handful of cool. 

 



Party is Friday, March 12 from 9pm-1am at Brooklyn Fire Proof East…a new venue!

 



To thank everyone for their support over the past year, they might even throw you a free EP, along with some pizza and hickies…but only if you arrive before complete debauchery takes over. Ad if you need any more incentive to get your butts there, watch the teaser vid below. Debaucherous, indeed.

Ok, now we’ve got a deliciously-rad reason to smile…and dance…and tap our toes all afternoon long. Goldfrapp have unveiled their video for Rocket, the first single from upcoming album, Head First, due out March 22. 

This video’s got everything we love…Allison doing her signature "peer over the hands", a massive rocket, desert dancers, a cameo from Will as a gas station attendant. Not to mention, we’re still completely infatuated with the song, and the others that have since been let out of the bag.

This video is 100% Beaston-approved…so watch it immediately! (UPDATE: seems like the below is overloaded…so if it’s not playing, jump here for the full, or here for a snippet guaranteed to work)
