‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’ by Penguin Prison is the grooviest song around right now. And yeah I am using the word ‘grooviest’ to describe it, because it’s filled with sly synths, thick bass, soft slapping drum machines and funked up vocals. I’ve been waiting for a studio release of ‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’ for a little over a year now and didn’t want to post about Penguin Prison till it was out, because it’s his best track by far.

I first heard Penguin Prison back in August of 2010 when his mix of Erik Hassle’s song ‘Hurtful’ came on at a party I was at at Macao Trading Co. Collective dancing ensued.

Penguin Prison is Chris Glover, a one man act, pumping out disco infused tracks that tie up a sound combination of Michael Jackson, Prince and The Talking Heads. Glover even deceptively sounds like MJ on some of his songs.

Penguin Prison has released a few EPs and a bunch of remix work, which is as stellar as his own material. He’s coming out with a full length album shortly. Check out some of his tracks on his Soundcloud page, which I’ve linked up below. And don’t leave without a listen to his remix of ‘Blue Jeans’ by Lana del Rey, the music world’s soon to be new indie temptress. It’s stunning.

I somehow missed this gem of  disco pop tune when it hit the net earlier this year.  O-well, better late than never.

Un remix más a la chica del momento, escuchen el remix de “Blue Jeans” que hizo Penguin Prison. Enjoy.

Además chequen este video en el que podemos ver a Lizzy Grant, tocando “Blue Jeans” en vivo. 

   

Another week, another new Lana Del Rey remix. She’s quite the blog magnet, isn’t she? And it’s about time “Blue Jeans” got some love too. Penguin Prison turned in a fantastic straight-up disco treatment. Have a listen below, then watch a cool live performance of the “Video Games” b-side below.

In other news, recently-leaked track “Driving in Cars with Boys” just became my third favorite song by her. One can never go wrong with that Ronettes beat.
