Indie | Bend – Short Crush
Posted by mimada on May 12, 2013
It’s Sunday. You’re either exhausted from studying from finals or maybe you got a little too turnt up last night, so getting out of bed right now is taking every last bit of effort you have left. I get it. Now unless you’re one of those hyper motivated freaks who’s already made your protein shake, gone on a 5-mile run and is finishing up assignments for next week, you’re going to need something to get your blood flowing. I got just the thing and it’s BEND’s latest release, Short Crush. So here’s what you’re gonna do: download this song, crank it up bit by bit and watch as you gradually float out from under the covers and conquer the day (well, whatever’s left of it anyways).
Ah, the power of music.
Indie, Progressive House | Phoenix – Trying To Be Cool (The Chainsmokers Remix)
Posted by Mel on May 6, 2013
Much like the overweight girl with a great personality, The Chainsmokers have, for the most part, been ignored. Ignored by unattractive girls and the aforementioned overweight girl that is, because they know they have no chance with these guys. Damn they’re attractive. I haven’t actually seen them, except in my dreams, but I imagine with their multiple 100k plus played tracks on Soundcloud that it would be so. Continuing their trend of remixing indie bands, the duo have decided to take a spin at remixing Phoenix’s “Trying To Be Cool”. If you know of The Chainsmokers then you know what to expect from this. A fun, upbeat song with a hint of both house and indie. They have definitely done this track justice, with this possibly being better than the original.

Electronic, Indie | Bend – I’m Taking Care of Him
Posted by mimada on April 19, 2013
So now that you’ve got the latest Daft Punk in your sweet possession, add this to your summer playlist in the making:
Meet Bend, an indie synth-pop duo outta Los Angeles who’s previous works prove their versatility on the indie electro front. Their newest single, “I’m Taking Care of Him,” feels a little like an electronic Vampire Weekend battling the AcaFellas over a beautiful grand Steinway piano. This song makes a perfect summer melody as I can just imagine myself listening to it on any occasion, be it on the beach, on a boat, or driving around with the windows down. Or floating in a sea of nebula, you know (see above).
This marks the first of 3 singles to be released until their full LP drops this June. So stay tuned!

House, Indie, Pop | Say Lou Lou – Julian (Monsieur Adi Remix)
Posted by W8 on April 10, 2013
French producer, Monsieur Adi delivers a remix of ”Jullian” that is ever so perfectly cleansing. Officially set to release on May 6th, it’ll be enshrined on repeat a little bit more than constantly until then. Best to have yourself a listen.
Alternative, Hip-Hop, Indie | The Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition (Yinyues Remix)
Posted by Mach on April 1, 2013
Another beautiful remix from the incredible pianist, Yinyues. This might in fact be my favorite from him. I love how he used the original style of the track and then blended in a little Hip-Hop for the drops. When it comes to laid back tracks, Yinyues seems to always take the win. If you haven’t familiarized yourself with the rest of his productions, I highly recommend it.

Hip-Hop, Indie | Aer – Strangers [Free EP]
Posted by Grubeats on March 25, 2013
I feel guilty for sitting on this for the past week without posting. I’m sure the loyal Fresh Aer breathers have already inhaled this free EP, but for those who haven’t, I highly suggest taking a long deep breath and listening through.
With summer around the corner (hopefully) for us Northerners, Aer decides it’s only right to share some freebies with their fans to honor their continued loyalty. Although these may only be low tide tracks in comparison to what they’re going to hit us with this summer, I’ve looped this in full at least once daily since it dropped. Fire. With features from Mod Sun & Guy Harrison and production from Ratatat, Pete Rock, mattMIGGZ, and of course instrumental work by David and Carter themselves, you’d be foolish to pass on this.

Indie, Videos | Cliff Jumping Hawaii – Proof [Radical Something – Step Right Up]
Posted by LoffyG on March 21, 2013
Lets take a break from the music quick, well almost, to check out this amazing cliff jumping video by Devin Supertramp. If you’ve never heard of Devin he’s one of the biggest YouTube video makers in the world with nearly 200,000,000 views! You’re probably wondering why I would post this on here, but the reason is that Devin chose to cut this video to Radical Something’s latest tune “Step Right Up”. That’s definitely really big for them. Be on the lookout for some new Radical Something videos coming very soon as they just finished up their tour. Also check out Devin’s channel as he has tons of great extreme videos!
