THE HEAVY - SIXTEEN

Thought this music vid was pretty punkin'. The Heavy pack a some more soul into "Sixteen" (which happens to be produced by Jim Abbiss, best known for his work with Arctic Monkeys) than I usually post about on this blog, but it's a solid track that's worth a good listen. And maybe a tap of the foot. Kudos to We like it.indie.

THE PETER PAN OF POP

I did a post a while back on Discovery, an electronic side project between Vampire Weekend's pianist and Ra Ra Riot's lead singer, and decided to do another being that they'll be releasing their debut album LP, on July 7th. The 10-track will include a Jackson 5 cover "I Want You Back," which seems strangely appropriate for MJ's passing. 

Michael Jackson never seemed like he really grew up. He was always a kid at heart, and Discovery's tone of child-like innocence seems to convey that perfectly. It's kind of crazy, but just enough to work.

NORBY

All I know about Norby is that he's a Hungarian DJ. That's it. But the fact that he delivers such perfect remixes makes up for that. His work defies gravity, and kisses the stars.

WELL OILED SYNTHCORE

"Freak-A-Zoid Robotz," a ridiculously robotic song (hence the name) by Bobby Evans, sounds probably what Daft Punk would sound like if they made arcade music while on acid. It's a call to robot rebellion, and the Them Jeans remix, a synth-core take on the freshly oiled classic, is nothing to be soon forgotten itself. Download the remix below, and watch the arcadian music vid for "Freak-A-Zoid Robotz" here.   ♫

SPARKLETONE - METAMORPHOSIS

Sparkletone's haunting new instrumental, "Metamorphosis," lays down a star-spun melody that twinkles, sparkles, then soars. Carried aloft by distant piano chords and luminescent bells, the beat provides foundation to this eerily beautiful masterpiece.

DAN BLACK - SYMPHONIES

This is a flippin' great music vid I found over at Change The Thought for the Dan Black track, "Symphonies." Combining a mixture of different film styles ranging from the 40s to the future, the film brilliantly comes together in a sweeping "The End," going to the beat of the chorus. 

Not only is it a good track, but Chic & Artistic did a fantastic job designing the vid. I tip my hat in wonderment.

DP PHOENIX REMIX COMPETITION

Sorry guys, but blogger just removed my post concerning the Phoenix remix competition I was holding. The contest is now officially over, with no winners :(

If you still want to grab the parts to the remix though, just email me and I'll send them to you.
