25.Â Toby Keith – Red Solo Cup (It’s The DJ Kue Remix!)Â / And suddenly Toby Keith is not only palatable butÂ highlyÂ listenable.

24.Â Y Luv – Never Touch The Ground (Gazzo Remix)Â / It’s pretty impossible to improve on the original so taking it in a different direction was a wise move. Get pumped!

we’re in season, we’re so happy

â™«Â Fixers – Another Lost Apache

Who:Â Jack,Â Jason,Â Christopher,Â Roo &Â Michael
What:Â Kinetic fun-pop, like Two Door Cinema Club, Walk The Moon, Gemini Club
Where: Oxford, UK + FacebookÂ / SoundcloudÂ / Amazon
When: Pop Meat/Your Corruptor EP on 4/24 in US but UK gets full LP We’ll Be The Moon on May 14th! Weird.
Why: We’ve heard remix whiz RAC’s spin on Fixers before and it turns out their original stuff stacks up solidly as well. “Another Last Apache” kicks things off with a smooth harmony that leads to a big bouncing drum beat and kinetic grooves that go right under the skin. Summer anthem shoe-in.

â™«Â Fixers – Crystals

“Crystals” is another free track that just dropped today and brings a shinier beat to pump your ears full of fun. The rhythm is relentless but that just fine because there is no desire to take a break from it. I want more!
