This summer, when you and your friends are living out the montage of wearing aviators, chuckling in slow motion at a bar at 3pm, drinking Orange Lazaruses, catching the eye of the cute girl across the way, I’d play this Sleigh Bells song on that boom box you remembered to bring.
Have you ever thought people who make good electronic music probably also made very thoughtful collages in art class?
Javelin makes me wish that a lot more of the thugs and punks from the Streets of Rage series would quit drugs and petty thievery, pick up drum pads, and make awesome lo-fi dance gems.
I know what you’re thinking – Fergie? Seriously? Hold up… my man Treasure Fingers has remixed the original to make it not only listenable— but also really, really slick. Trust me on this one.
Here’s my jam. One of the better Skream remixes out— second only to that La Roux mix that everyone and their mother loves. I never thought I’d hear Chromeo dropped over a grimey dubstep beat, but it sure as hell works. Skream is the busiest 18-year old I know.
Somewhere, an assistant manager put this on in his shoe store just now, and all the patrons are so happy not to have to hear that tick tock song again.
French Horn Rebellion – Beaches and Friends (Twelve Radio Edit)
Two solid tracks from Washed Out (aka Ernest Greene). This guy’s been making beats from his bedroom for a while, but just recently started cranking out these dreamy, blunted synthpop tracks. His Life of Leisure EP has been in heavy rotation the past couple weeks.
Legit mix from Toro Y Moi (aka Chaz Bundick). Stumbled across this one after hearing his remix of Washed Out’s Feel it All Around.
