Remix Baby: Phoenix "Lisztomania (Shook Remix)"
Maybe its because we’re completely blown away by this, but this could be one of the best remixes we’ve heard. Turning Phoenix’s Lisztomania into a funky soulful disco track, it really touches all the spots and its all down to dutch producer Shook. We are MIGHTY impressed.

We’ve kind of fallen in love with Body Language over the last week or so, You Can and Social Studies being are particular favourites. Here’s a great remix of Social Studies by Plastic Plates that takes away some of the cuteness of the original, adds a great double clap, and makes it into this cool little funky song. Go to PLASTiC PLATES soundcloud for some more great remixes.

Hoodie Allen: "Leap Year Mixtape"
Been waiting for this one since Mr. H. Allen dropped a teaser for his new mixtape Leap Year two weeks ago and then further enticed us with an official video for The Chase Is On. The follow up to his first mixtape, Pep Rally ,shows the evolution of Hoodie Allen, and he regards it as “me growing up on record”. Now everyone seems to be sampling indie tracks (Hoodie and Chiddy Bang seem...

St. Lucia: "All Eyes On You"
We really liked their first single The Old House Is Gone and now Heavy Roc’s St. Lucia have come back with a second single that is just as good, maybe even better. All Eyes On You is perfect again for summer and there’s something to it that hits us a little harder than their first single. And yes, it has a sax solo in it. Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to say the...

The Ravonettes: "Forget That You're Young"
If you haven’t already checked out this website RCRD LBL you are missing out on a trick as they give away legal mp3 downloads of loads and loads of top music. We found this track from The Ravonettes there. The opening of Forget That You’re Young kind of reminds us of the theme to Twin Peaks (weird huh) and from there it grows into a great pop/rock song. This Danish duo has been...

D.VELOPED (@dveloped)
Can’t exactly remember where we came across this mash up DJ, D.VELOPED , but it was last week sometime. On Childish Games he throws a Childish Gambino lyric over Backstreet Boy’s As Long As You Love Me with some 50 Cent, Adele, John Legend, Phoenix, Notorious B.I.G, Wu Tang Clan and more added for good measure. We liked. So here it is.

Album Spotlight: The Temper Trap "Conditions"
Save for a few new remixes, we haven’t really heard that much new stuff from The Temper Trap, it’s sad. Waking up this morning all that was on the agenda (besides work) was to throw on their debut album Conditions. It was the album of summer ‘10 for us as soon as we heard Fader. Here’s a few of our favourite tracks from the album…

Best of 2011 So Far. According to ITYLTS.
Its July, so we’ve just passed into the second half of the year, HIGH FIVES. And with that milestone, every blog seems to be coming out with a best of the year so far list, so we thought we’d do the same. This is based merely on what ITYLTS thinks has been great this year. The only requirements to be on the list is for the track to either be released this year or to have...

Pretty Lights: "Pretty Lights vs Summertime"
Working at Glastonbury this year meant I was opposite the G Stage and managed to see/hear a few bands. On the Sunday night, Pretty Lights was one of them. For me it was a highlight and a grateful step away from just the monotonous drum n bass and techno that had been the soundtrack for working that weekend. Now Pretty Lights has released a great mash up for summer including all the greats like...

jj: "Still"
This picture is appropriately gangster enough for their song Still from their mixtape Kills. The mixtape was released back on Christmas Eve and we only just downloaded it so you know we’re a little bit late on the uptake. The mixtape uses samples from Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z and M.I.A to name a few but our favourite track off the mixtape Still uses the Still D.R.E. beat. We...
