Of Monsters And Men - Little Talks (The Knocks Remix)

So it should come as no surprise that we have the Knocks' work sneaking up on TMD once again. This time, it's in the form of a remix to Of Monster And Men's "Little Talks". It's quite an interesting remix, just based on the two very different musical stylings of each group. Of Monsters And Men is a six piece indie group from Iceland; while the Knocks is two dudes just slaying it from Brooklyn. Simple as that. Well, here, it works out to sound like pure sonic bliss.
 

Moon Boots - Sugar

Holy shit. This just had delicious written all over it from the go. So smooth. Oozing with style and funk. Moon Boots checking in. Wow. Love the Janet Jackson sample too. Well done. Definitely deserving a spot on your pool side mix for August. Guaranteed to make you some friends.

Visitor - RNB

This is a new track which hit our inbox today from Visitor out of London, UK. They ceertainly have that big 80's vibe going on here with huge synths. Molly Ringwald called, she wants her sound track back. Be sure to cop their album when it drops September 10th.

The Knocks & Fred Falke - Geronimo (Official Video)

The Knocks are just killing it right now. This video is also killing it right now. Uh oh, Geronimo!

Ghost Beach - Been There Before

So Ghost Beach released their July single yesterday and it's just as good as we've come to expect from the boys. The hook on this track is undeniable. They continue to show their range with each single they drop. Their star continues to rise and we love to see it doing so. They clearly have the formula down. Josh knows how to write a damn good pop song. I'm loving the 80's inspired bass line and the tropical vibe all around. Certainly another track to put on your summer playlist.

If you're in New York, be sure to catch their show next Thursday 7/26 at Pianos. You can get tickets here: Should be a total dance party. They certainly know how to bring it live. Don't miss out.
  

Shelby Great - Wild Youth (Goldroom Remix)

Yet another dope remix from Goldroom. He continues to amaze me. Everything he touches is, well, nah I'm not gonna say it. It's too easy. Goldroom is Josh Legg, and he has been on an absolute tear lately.

Ghost Beach & Trails And Ways

So our boys Ghost Beach are doing exactly what we thought they would. They are bringing their unique brand of Tropical Grit Pop to the masses, winning over the hearts and minds with every show and every single they drop. It's been really fun to watch as they grow. And they've been doing it all in a very unique and creative way. They're taking the record industry and turning it on its head.

This is just another example of them doing just that. They teamed up with Trails and Ways to scratch each other's backs as it were; remixing and covering each other's tunes. And the end result is simply stunning. They have two very unique but different sounds, so it's fun to hear their takes on each other's work. Take a listen, it's awesome.

Be on the lookout for July's single from Ghost Beach next week. It's sure to be just as dope as ever.   

The Knocks & Fred Falke - Geronimo EP Minimix

If you're still unfamiliar with the Knocks, you need to get your head out of your ass. This should be just a dope as the rest.

Bloc Party - Octopus (RAC Remix)

Well well well, if it isn't the boys from RAC at it again. Just killin it like they always do. They just dropped this remix today and it is certainly worthy of a dozen listens. I love the synths and the re-work just like everything else they do.

Germany Germany - With You

Drew Harris of Germany Germany has a bright future ahead of him. I'm absolutely loving this track and I'm excited to hear where he takes us with the rest of his album. It's due out July 16th. 

Bonus Post! Check out Drew's cover of College - Real Hero featuring LA-based producer Kotomi. I like it alot!

RAC - Hollywood Feat. Penguin Prison (Felix Da Housecat Remix)

So we already put up the original version of this track. But Felix Da Housecat puts his own little spin on this and it is certainly worth a listen. Seriously check it out. You won't be able to get it out of your head. Side note, I used to love Mountain Dew as a kid. Now they've got a label. Now I've seen it all.

Santigold - The Keepers (The Knocks Remix)

This came out last week and these guys are just killing it right now. We saw The Knocks last week at Brooklyn Bowl with our hometown favorite Ghost Beach. It was a show for the ages. If you don't know about the Knocks yet, now you do.

Metric - Artificial Nocturne (Love Thy Brother Remix)

Just a total face melt type situation. Loved it from the get go. Metric killing it and Love Thy Brother just leaving it all out there. Let summer reign!

RAC - If You Forget Me (Gigamesh Remix)

Sometimes things slip by. Sometimes we have to look back and make sure we didn't miss anything. And in this case we see that we clearly missed this one. Somehow this came out two years ago, and I'm just digging into it now. It makes sense, it's RAC and Gigamesh, both of whom crank out bangers. So yeah, this makes sense. Anyways, give this a listen. It's awesome.

In case you were wondering. Here's the original, which is dope in its own right.

Young Galaxy - Shoreless Kid

Heavenly. First word that comes to mind when I stumbled across this one. Young Galaxy come to us from Vancouver, and they've been at it for a while. This one sticks with me. It's on repeat.

Little Boots - Headphones

How about a little disco for your Tuesday? Little Boots aka Victoria Christina Hesketh comes to us from Blackpool, England. She nails it on this one. I wear my headphones at the disco too, girl.
