check out this technicolor burst of awesomeness!

Woodland :: Animal (Miike Snow Cover)

I was lucky enough to catch Miike Snow at Coachella this year, I love their songs but this cover, which has recently gotten a new video, I prefer. Their accapella like approach and their pretty voices add a new dimension.

Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse ft Julian Casablancas :: Little Girl

Not the best video, but this song is amazing. Danger mouse, Sparklehorse and Julian Casablancas kill it. Julian really lays it down and makes this track, which is one of the more upbeat on the album.

Daft Punk Tron Legacy rip offs and remixes

So this guy who calls himself hair kid recently remixed a track from the Daft Punk composed soundtrack to Tron Legacy. Its pretty cool and the lyrics are actually about Daft Punk.. reminds me of Tiga's Louder than a bomb with the fast paced talking. pretty cool.



Retro/Grade a duo from London who will be coming out with a full length album in 2011 had this track Zoid floating around the blogosphere with claims that it was going to appear in Tron legacy. The rumors are false but the track is sweet!

Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse :: Everytime I'm With You

This haunting track, along with others, have been floating around the web for awhile now, but were just recently put out on CD. The album is titled Dark Night of the Soul and is the collaborative work of Danger Mouse and the late Mark Linkous aka Sparklehorse, with many cameos. Apparently, Linkous had written a number of songs he wasn't comfortable singing, so Danger Mouse suggested getting others to do the vocals instead. Other featured artists include: James Mercer of the the Shins, Julian Casablancas of the Strokes, the Flaming Lips and Iggy Pop. It's a great album and should be checked out by all.

MF Doom :: Eucalyptus

Metal Face Doom, or MF DOOM, is a well known producer/ MC that I love. Maybe you've heard his work with Danger Mouse under the name Dangerdoom. He also goes by Madvillian when he teams up with Madlib, another great project. Here's a track without him rapping, it's off of his Special Herb box set.

Miami Horror-Illumination

Miami Horror are another contributor to the Australian dance scene along with good mates Cut Copy, Midnight Juggernauts, Bag Raiders, and well just look at some of their top myspace friends.. http://www.myspace.com/miamihorror  They released their first full length album "Illumination" recently in Australia (August 20th) still not sure what the U.S. release date is. All the singles off the album so far have been dancefloor gems such as "Moon Theory" and "Sometimes"  Heres the video for the newest single "I look to you" The bass synth has a real nice groove goin on in this song..

I Look To You from Miami Horror on Vimeo.

Big Boi ft Cutty :: Shutterbug

I cant get this song outta my head. That Beat and synth drives me crazy!!!

El Guincho :: FM Tan Sexy + Bombay

Great summer song, perfect for this late warm weather! Feelin' a beach day or a summer drive, throw this on, it's perfect. El Guincho's sophmore effort comes out in September on Young Turks and Rough Trade. You can Pre-order the CD or LP here.

Siriusmo

  Siriusmo has been praised as an electro genius across the blogosphere and rightfully so. His well honed sound and melodies display his wit and cleverness. I highly recommend his newest EP "Plasterer of Love" if your into weird electro like Mr. Oizo or other Ed Banger artists. His newest EP has this track on it (He's german so the confusing song titles are in german)  I think this song title translates into "shout once a week or yell out loud once a week..or something.. This video is a little creepy but has a nice moral to the story that we should all take into account.. be grateful for what you have, or your evil twin will screw you over..

Bag Raiders- Way Back

    Bag Raiders are sweet. They're an Australian duo who originally gained popularity with their awesome  Fun Punch EP (which has an awesome power rangers themed video for the title track.) They are on"Modular" a very popular Australian label that have signed The Presets, Cut Copy, and Van She. This new song "Way Back Home" can be heard on their new album which will be released sometime soon (you never know what a release date in the Australia means for the U.S. release)  This song kind of sounds like Cut Copy but its still sweet in its own regard..

Rainbow Arabia :: Omar K

Crazy video and a great song that just makes me wanna move. Rainbow Arabia is crushing it!

Fol Chen :: In Ruins (Baths Remix)

Fol Chen :: The Holograms (FUR Remix)

Super sick song. Download it here along with a few more remixes.

Bullion :: Crazy Over You

Awesome track from the UK Buillon.

Tiyiselani Vomaseve :: Vanghoma

Caught this off of GvB. Sounds pretty cool. The cheap synths and groovy rhythms really make this track.

The Gauntlet Hair :: I Was Thinking

I CANNOT for the life of me get this song out of my head. They have 3 songs out and very limited touring. Check out their myspace, here, for the other songs and more info.

Cybernetic-Grum

very cool fan made video for the song "Cybernetic" by Grum. Images taken from some old german cartoon.

"Summer" is another great song for its namesake season, this one is from Magic Kids. A slow laid back song perfect for a day of cold beers in the park. The song has a Brian Wilson quality to it that I love.

Another great track from the blissed-out, no fi artist Washed Out. A great chill out track. You can catch them with other indie favs such as Best Coast, Panda Bear, Wavves, and more at the FYF Fest in LA on September 4th. Check it out and the full line-up here.

Teams vs. Star Slinger :: Say Please

I love this song because I feel like I'm being blanketed by a rainbow. A great summer song that mixes a little old school with the today's hip synth sounds. I especially like the title, it's a good reminder of the manners that we should all have. You can listen to this song on GvB, here's the link
