Penguin Prison - Calling Out

»Download«

I haven't enjoyed a Penguin Prison track this thoroughly since The Worse It Gets three years ago. Hopefully he continues in this direction! Infectiously poppy with moody lyrics, a winning combo. You'll be tapping your toes as soon as you hit play.

Chordashian feat. Frances Rose - Questions

»Download«

Poppy electronic beat and tight vocals from Chordashian in their latest track. It gets really good just after the 50 second mark.

Hayden James - Permission to Love

This slow jam is an instant hit. Evocative of a night at the beach with your lover. Smooth grooves.

Active Child - Evening Ceremony

Even if I wanted to love you, would you love me? Even if I wanted to fall for you, would you fall for me? Even if I never meant to hurt you, would you hurt me? Even if I wanted to pray for you

Strange Talk - Falling in Love

»Download«

The second single from their upcoming debut album, Falling in Love has the band moving away from their Phoenix-esque style and delving into the world of progressive house. I love the result. Highly danceable, synth-driven pop at its finest.

Mikky Ekko - Pull Me Down

»Download«

Currently on repeat is this love song from producer Clams Casino and up-and-coming vocalist Mikky Ekko. With beautiful, smooth R&B influences and sweet harmonies, this dreamy track will make you feel like you're in love for the first time. Favorite part is the Coldplay-esque falsetto at the end.

Pacific Air - Float (TheFatRat Remix)

»Download«

TheFatRat’s token dirty bass isn’t my thing, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear this remix of Pacific Air’s indie hit Float. He adds some much-needed bass interest to the song, but doesn’t get as filthy as usual. It’s a match made in heaven, and of all the Float remixes out there, this is my favorite. Best part at 1:45.

Magic Panda - Tokyo

»Download«

There's something about the Japanese musical aesthetic that leads to introspection and self-discovery. Using traditional instruments often sounds kitschy or cliché, but Magic Panda (Jamie Robson) gets it. This is pure, shimmering techno begging to be on full blast as you speed down the highway, lost in your thoughts.

Blaise Plant - Telepathy

»Download«

Blaise Plant is something of a guilty pleasure of mine. The lead singer/guitarist of Monkey Majik, his songwriting has gotten so refined over the years. Off his latest album Motion Picture, Telepathy is a sexy, jazz-infused tune that I can't stop listening to. Stick around for the best part shortly after the 3 minute mark.

Chairlift - I Belong in Your Arms

»Download«

So I'm a little late to the bandwagon here, but why did no one tell me about Chairlift yet?! It's really late and this song alone was enough to spur me to make an incoherent post about how awesome this band is. 80's. Synth. Love. Epic. In summary: I FUCKING HAVE FAITH IN MODERN MUSIC AGAIN. Download this immediately!

St. Lucia - We Got it Wrong

»Download«

My perfect summer song, We Got it Wrong manages to feel beachy even without being in-your-face obvious about it. Relaxed tempo at first, swelling into a highly danceable track, and then bringing you back down again. A must-have for your vacation playlist.

Picture Book - Sunshine

»Download«

Jesus, has it been a year already? Consider my hiatus officially over! What better way to celebrate than with the new duo, Picture Book? Two songwriting brothers caught the attention of fucking Madeon and he lent his hand to producing this track, which also features the vocals of Greta Svabo Bech- the amazing voice from Deadmau5's Raise Your Weapon. Look out for these guys, they're gonna go far.

Bonus! »Justin Faust Remix« The golden boy does it again. His funky electropop version doesn't disappoint.

Visitor - Coming Home (Rough Mix)

»Download«

Visitor captures my heart again with this epic power ballad. My current blasting-down-the-highway-singing-along song. Let the heavy-hitting chorus take you to the moon and back again. Highly recommended.

The Knocks - Thinking About You

»Download«

I'm bringing The Knocks back with the B-side to the Brooklyn duo's amazing Dancing with the DJ. Thinking About You is an upbeat anthem of love and longing; perfect for those moments you wish you could teleport to wherever your lover might be. With lyrics like "Her beauty spoke/I heard it whisper/I hope that God keeps her around," this song is a beautiful poem set to an equally stunning electric soundscape.

Golden Bug & Rodion - Do the Washing Machine

»Download«

French electrofunk meets Italian disco house in this excellent track. Lavinia Claws' cute vocals (and silly lyrics) interplay with the rolling bassline so well. This track just makes me want to dance! And do my laundry.

But mostly dance.
