A few weeks back I introduced The Golden Pony’s remix of Peaches “F*ck the Pain Away,” and today the afro boy duo is back with an original “Bonfire,” an indie nu-disco pop record with soul, which I think they get from their fros, featuring vocals from Suntalk an indie nu-disco pop record with soul, which I think they get from their fros. The story behind this track is pretty interesting, and I’ll let them tell it:
“Bonfire” was written after reading this proverb called “The Zen of Work”. It goes “When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of your self”. For some reason it reminded us of our favorite musicians who died young like Jimi, Janis, Otis, Jim Morrison, and Kurt.

Chill | Emily Underhill – Ghosts (Sebastian Carter Remix)

19 year old Swiss producer Sebastian Carter never disappoints when it comes to shedding light on unknown talent by releasing remixes that intensify vibes and emotions from the original. “Ghosts” by Emily Underhill received that same treatment, and the bass is what’s going to keep you warm in these sub-zero temperatures. If they had a fireplace and a hot chocolate maker at work (or wine), I’d be laying back by the fire with a cup in hand, reading a book, forgetting about the world to this beautiful piece of work by Sebastian. Add this one to your chill playlist, and get that free download! Must listen!

Posted by mimada on November 27, 2013
It’s finals time over here in the land of the Swedes but I’m taking a little coffee break to share some music that’s been helping me knock out all my work. Oregon based producer Electric Mantis brings us this delightful electro-trap track appropriately titled “Flips And Flops, Drips And Drops,” perfect for those currently listening to artists along the likes of Flume and L D R U. In fact, I have to credit one of the hottest music blogs on the internet right now for bringing this track into my life – that being Djemba Djemba’s Soundcloud Stream. You can read all about Electric Mantis’ success story via Reddit here, meanwhile I’ve got to get back to reading the past three weeks worth of assignments. Whoops! ¯\_(?)_/¯

French producers KRONO whom I featured last week with their remix of Bruno Mars’ “Lazy Song,” are back at it this time with an original catchy electro record “Run” featuring vocals from Linying. I love the retro French house sound they’re going for with this one layered with jazzy smoky vocals. I definitely hear room for a big pop remix to make this track even more mainstream, for all you producers reading this! This is a must listen and a must download!

Chill, Indie | Of Monsters and Men – Little Talks (Thomas Jack Remix)
Posted by VMan on October 8, 2013
The Aussie Thomas Jack is as it again with the remix game, and he’s either been reading my posts, or he just knows what’s good, cause this remix of Monsters And Men’s record “Little Talks” is exactly what needed to be done. All of these hit indie records deserve the remix treatment: throw some claps on there, some light piano chord progressions, a wind instrument of your choosing, and you can send that straight to the dancefloor. Look forward to catching his live set at Webster Hall October 22nd, on the East Coast leg of his Fall 2013 US tour. Must Listen and Must Download!

Events | Sunday Of Electric Zoo Canceled Due to “Serious Health Concerns”
Posted by Middy on September 1, 2013
Sunday of Electric Zoo has been canceled. If you are reading this and getting ready for the festival, stop and go back to bed because today is not happening. In conjunction with the Mayor’s office, Made Event, agreed to cancel Sunday after 2 people died over the course of Friday and Saturday and at least another 4 became seriously ill and needed to be hospitalized. The cause for the hospitalizations is not known yet, but it is presumed to be MDMA consumption. Before we start pointing fingers and blaming this person and that person, realize that this is a tragedy and two people died, so our hearts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the those who died, and we hope for a speedy recovery for those hospitalized. However, at some point these needless deaths at festivals have got to come to an end and soon because they are going to bring this to a halt.
Made Event has released a statement on the matter:
The founders of Electric Zoo send our deepest condolences to the families of the two people who passed away this weekend. Because there is nothing more important to us than our patrons, we have decided in consultation with the New York City Parks Department that there will be no show today.
Ambient, Electro | Fffrrannno – Noah
Posted by VMan on August 25, 2013
Damnnnnn, just did my morning scouting for new music, and discovered this out of this world production “Noah” by New Zealand producer Fffrrannno. Epic is the perfect word to describe this track. Fffrrannno doesn’t overdo it either with a big production, but rather keeps it all organic, and minimalist, making this track even more enjoyable to listen to. Not sure what you want to call this, but this might be the perfect track to end the Summer with. Not sure what else to say here either, other then you’re wasting your time reading this post right now, and you should be listening to “Noah!” MUST LISTEN!
