♫ Y Luv – Never Touch The Ground (Gazzo Remix)
LA legends in the making Y Luv just got a fresh coat of pulsating strobe paint on EP highlight “Never Touch The Ground” thanks to Gazzo. Drop it at your next party as an excuse to get more fools listening to Y Luv! Grab more Gazzo gold at his Soundcloud while you are at it!
♫ Zhu vs. Y Luv - All Night
And while I’m at it, here are two TBE favorites swapping fluids in a glorious club friendly concoction you don’t need straw for. Get glitchy!

when i’m down, i wanna see you now
♫ Blue Boats – Summers Down
- Who: Oliver Gale
- What: Bedroom surf pop, like Art Imperial, The Fantasies, The Danks
- Where: Bournemouth, UK + Facebook
- When: The “Sun Burns” single is out now.
- Why: If the guy in that album art took off %75 of his clothes and that field was the beach and there was hottie in the water off to the left and a boombox playing TBE’s Summer mixtapes at his feet then it would be a lot like this song. But we can’t fault Oliver. He lives in England so the fact that he is crafting such delicately catchy vitamin-D soaked music is basically a miracle. Go get “Sun Burns” free to round out your beach playlist for this weekend. [via TMN]

♫ Caught A Ghost – Time Go
My first encounter with Caught A Ghost was when they impressed me with their live show back in December so after falling hard for slow burn groover “Time Go” and high-speed soul dub “Sleeping At Night” I was stoked to catch them at their May residency at The Satellite. Not content to just show up and play the tunes, Jesse Nolan and company turned the residency into a weekly hallows eve style party they dubbed The Hereafter. Already a good sign. So when they took the stage with a DJ, 2 saxophone players, and 2 girls in stretchy ghost skins I knew we were in for a treat. Having never heard anything besides the 3 song CAG mixtape, much of the show was new material but that didn’t stop the band from nailing it perfectly and driving it right into my soul. Nolan’s voice is on the money and his band is right with him at every turn. People were even dancing. In LA. On a Monday. Awesome.
Catch them live if you are in the LA area! If you aren’t then get them to your down by supporting their Kickstarter campaign!
Upcoming shows:
5/21/12 – The Satellite, LA, CA
5/28/12 – The Satellite, LA, CA

Welcome to the party. There will be no parking on the dance floor, so get your backs up off the wall and dance, come on.

look at me, i just cant believe what they’ve done to me
♫ Major Lazer – Get Free (Hannes Fischer Breakfast Mix)
The new Major Lazer track “Get Free” is a big departure from the electronic wildin’ out of 2009. It’s also a departure from being engaging. Thank goodness for remix magicman Hannes Fischer who is currently batting 1000. Ride that slow burn style that made his “Video Games” remix one of the best of 2011.
♫ Joe and Will Ask – Freya
- Who: 2 dudes I’m not sure are named Joe or Will.
- What: Bendy beat bombs, like if Joe Goddard was in Trust
- Where: London, UK + Facebook
- When: LP Vikings is out now.
- Why: They have done it before and they will no doubt do it again. The laying down of big tripped out beats that transport your mind into alternate groovescapes is these two’s forte. Listen with care. It may drive you mad! It may also make you dance. But, whatever.

i’ve read the words on your face, they told me things i should have known
♫ Black Light Dinner Party – Older Together
- Who: 4 producers from 3 cities.
- What: Shimmering groove pop, like Passion Pit, Midi Matilda, Sphynx
- Where: NYC(?) + Facebook
- When: Just singles so far.
- Why: “Older Together” is a song for lovers about falling in love. If you have never been in love then just watch the video below and if you squint a bit you will basically see what it feels like. Much like the song itself, the video is seriously beautiful and infectious and I can’t quite put my finger on what makes it so special. A lot like love.

i can’t do nothin’ right, you can’t stay up all night
♫ The Danks – Automocar
- Who: Brohan Moore, Alec O’Hanley. Plus Andre & Phil.
- What: Catchy garage rock, like The Strokes, The Fantasies, Fast Years
- Where: Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada + Facebook
- When: LP Are You Afraid of The Danks is out May 22nd.
- Why: Prince Edward Island, Canada, is not known for it’s rock scene but that may be changing. The Danks are channeling some rock magic on “Automocar” that will surely have them shredding newer pastures soon.
