why the WHOLE xx album didn't try to beef up their sound is beyond me (jamie xx is a member of the band for gosh sake!) this is a very nice version with a kooky french tv video to boot. remix the whole album jamie xx!!!

DIVA ALERT!: lulu james - step by step

lulu james - step by step
and the next gen grace jones award goes to this tanzanian born/uk based vocalist who fully embraces the deep hypnotic tribal disco sounds of yesteryear. my only complaint is that i wish the beats got a bit bigger and louder as the track progresses, hopefully a remix will rectify that. definitely one to watch for 2013!

VIRAL SENSATION: hadouken! - levitate

hadouken! - levitate
you have to give it up to indie dance band hadouken for being smart enough to utilize social media and offering a totally hypnotic compilation video of amazing feats using their song as the soundtrack. since they are self releasing, the song has been heard at least 30 million times (thanks to this 'people are awesome' youtube campaign) and has rocketed to the top 10 of the itunes dance music chart. lets see if they can sustain this buzz when their album 'every weekend' comes out next month, but for now, people are awesome don't you think?

DANCE CATCH UP SUNDAY: monsta - holdin on (skrillex and nero remix)

monsta - holdin on (skrillex and nero remix)
i've been holding up a treasure trove of dance tracks on my ipod and figure today is probably the best day to just pass on what i've been jamming to in my head for the past few months. this remix by skrillex and nero is so insane because it literally feels like someone playing laser tag in your brain. yes, i just compared dubstep to laser tag...

wanna hear the original? here it is below:
monsta - holdin on
