Desire

Loved these guys for quite some time now but fell back in love last night while watching Drive for the first (finally) time. These three treasures bring back sweet memories of beach house trips, late night dance-parties, face paint, crocheted bikini tops, hot tubbing & sunburns...Ahhh Bolinas, CA. I wish I grew up in the 70's and Desire's sound sure is reminiscent.

Desire - Don't Call

Desire - Under Your Spell

Desire - If I Can't Hold You

Blood Orange // Clock Opera

Posted a sweet lil tune by Brooklyn local Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange) last Summer. This new-ish one is just spectacular. Literally knocked my socks off. The Prince-esque vocals, lovely lyrics and stylish beat... Get ready to go to heaven at approx. the 1:56 mark.

Holy Other

A few must-haves from Manchester's Holy Other, currently on tour in Europe with my man Chris (oOoOO). I'm addicted to the chopped up beats and screwed down vocals, the dark yet romantic rhythm.  My sweet lil early Valentine's day gift to you all...

Holy Other - With U

Holy Other - YR LOVE

Holy Other - Touch

Crazy P / Keep Shelly in Athens

Been awhile...Should've shared this one sooner. Brits Crazy P are known for putting on massive dance parties in the UK for more than a decade. And I'm pretty much hooked on anything the Greeks put out there. This remix is just magical. Super excited to see Shelly live at Glasslands in BK on 2 April.

Purity Ring

Two sweet lil Sunday tracks from Canadian duo Purity Ring. I'd argue that they've got the potential to be classified as witch-house, but Megan James' bright vocals just... again, sweeten things up a bit.

Purity Ring - Lofticries

Purity Ring - Ungirthed

Clams Casino

New Jersey producer Mike Volpe (aka Clams Casino) is making quite a name for himself in the hip hop game, mixing beats for Soulja Boy, Lil B and the like. Loving this instrumental track...No vocals necessary.

Clams Casino - Numb

Darkside

Been MIA for a bit...It's officially Winter in NYC and this minimally mysterious electro track is keeping me warmmmmm.

Darkside - A1

Charli XCX

Charli XCX is by far my favorite recent find. At the ripe age of 19, this London teenager is making sweet lil goth-pop music that I only wish was around circa 1989. Seems like the perfect song to... I dunno... blast at a slumber party, maybe inspiring a dance routine or two?

Charli XCX - Nuclear Seasons

Charli XCX - Stay Away

Niki & The Dove // Goldroom

It's never too early to start prepping your NYE dance-party mix. Stockholm's Niki & The Dove will be playing loud & proud at peak time, 11:58pm to be exact. Saw them play a free show @ CARGO in London last week and have been blasting these two lil gems since.

CANT

Your Neighbor (aka my sweetest lil man) sent me the CANT album this week and my case of the Mondays immediately shifted to TGIF in no time. This is a brilliant collab between vocalist Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear) and George Lewis Jr. (Twin Shadow). Two of my faves give birth to a new third...My soundtrack as I start to close up the London living chapter.


CANT - Too Late, Too Far


CANT - Believe


CANT - Answer

New Navy // Flume

Sydney's New Navy brings us this Summer-perfect, just plain delightful jam as the rest of us approach shorter & colder days. I'll be honest, the remix is more my cup o' tea...but both are making me dream of road trips, BBQs & cold brews.

New Navy - Zimbabwe (Flume Remix)

Blood Diamonds

The jams have been slowing down here recently at King Edward Mansions... & Vancouver-based producer Mike Tucker (aka Blood Diamonds) has been providing lots of inspiration for the shift in mood. Gotta love a sweet lil mix of tribal-esque, rhythmic instrumental sounds + a hint of baby talk.

Blood Diamonds - Dreams

Blood Diamonds - Heart

Blood Diamonds - Move The Stars
