obsessed xx: BANKS “Fall Over” + Djemba Djemba remix!!!

9 Apr

BANKS

I’ve expected amazing things from Banks after first hearing her track “Before I Ever Met You” which is still on a constant playlist for me, but her new single “Fall Over” is next level. As if the sultry, haunting, addicting song wasn’t enough, the music video mirrors just that, and in a short time has already reached over 50,000 views on YouTube. Banks debut EP is one of the releases from IAMSOUND records I am most looking forward to this year. I also really hope a tour is in the works, because if the EP is as good as I know it will be, I can’t even imagine what the live show will be like…and I definitely want to find out.


Get your dance on to the Djemba Djemba remix:

4 Apr

Haim-the-band-11

It’s my birthday!!! Today has been super busy at work but I am excited to go out and celebrate by seeing Local Natives tonight at Union Transfer with some of my best friends. This past year has been absolutely incredible, I can’t wait to see what this year will bring. I’ve been in such a good mood all day, my birthday soundtrack today has been pretty stellar. I can’t get enough of Haim’s “Falling” EP out now digitally and on vinyl! I’ve been listening to it over and over again today, and I love the Psychemagik and Duke Dumont remixes. These girls seriously seem to do know wrong. Their music always puts a smile on my face and makes me want to dance, and listening to this EP at work is getting me super stoked about celebrating tonight. Listen below, have the best day ever and treat yourself today, because I told you to and it’s my birthday :)



and of course, what is a birthday post without my favorite birthday song.

obsessed xx: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs “Your Love” Fake Blood Remix

8 Oct

You know I will do anything to talk a little more about my future-husband (of course, after we finally meet and fall immediately in love). So when I saw him post this remix by Fake Blood of one of my top favorite songs from his debut album “Trouble”, I was elated that I had another valid reason to post about him. Not only do I love the remixed track, I am crying tears of joy over the animation the Youtube video for it provides. Simply magical, like the song, and like the glorious gift to the world that is Orlando Higginbottom, aka Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Thanks, Fake Blood! You rule.

obsessed xx: Martin Solveig “The Night Out” Madeon Remix

23 Apr


Last night I was listening to my friends radio show on 91.7 fm WKDU Philly. I was on the radio show last week and I absolutely love it. The show is called Bass Is Loaded on Sundays from 6pm-8pm and it has features the best dance tracks that we don’t really get to hear on the radio..or worse, when we are out dancing. This breaks my heart because I hear tracks like this and can’t help but get so hyped from it. They played the Madeon Remix of Martin Solveig’s “The Night Out” and I couldn’t help but stop everything I was doing and get my dance on (then look it up and immediately send it to all my friends). This remix is the perfect dance track..I can listen to it getting ready to go out, while I am out, partying with friends, or even to get me through the work day. The song completely energizes me and puts me in such a good place. I’m not at all surprised, because it’s by Madeon, and I’ve loved so much of what I’ve heard of him so far (“Icarus” is my other jam!!)…he’s brilliant. He’s also 17 years old. I can’t wait to hear more from him. I also hope he brings his shows over to the US (specifically Philly please) because I would LOVE to get in on that epic dance party.

obsessed xx: Nneka “Shining Star” Joe Goddard Remix

9 Apr

I have been obsessed with this remix from Joe Goddard of Hot Chip! His remix of “Shining Star” by Nneka always (and welcomely) gets stuck in my head and makes me want to dance. I love how upbeat the remix is, it’s absolutely perfect for the dance floor or just getting you through the work day. The original song “Shining Star” by Nneka is from her new album Soul Is Heavy out now.
