Amanda Mair

Published by Doug under Indie Pop.

Labrador Records changed it up a little bit this time by remixing Amanda Mair’s song House.  The one that really excites me is Club 8′s remix.  This is the first remix they have ever done.  Johan said that it isn’t much of a surprise to the few people that have heard the new stuff from [...]

Grand Resort

Published by Doug under Indie Pop.

What happens when a teenager escapes the confines of his home country, trading breezy, eternal summers for painstaking winters? Three years ago, Andrés Pichardo was wondering the same thing, when he decided to leave his hometown in the Dominican Republic to study in Massachusetts, but mostly to play music. It may seem unlikely to pin a teenager [...]

Synne Eileen & The Sunbeams

Published by Doug under Indie Pop.

Today I have the indie pop band Synne Eileen & The Sunbeams from Norway but they are based in Liverpool.  My buddy at Lazy Acre Records gave me the heads up on the band.  It looks like they will be releasing something for the band later in the year.  I have a couple of videos [...]

Club Scene at Indie Today

Published by Doug under EDM, Electro, House.

I decided to put together a few of the EDM songs that have been getting me really excited the last week or two.  These songs are great additions to anybody’s dj set list.  Be sure to digest all of them.  They’re all killer.   Basto – I Rave You (Original Mix) Dillon Francis & A-Trak [...]

The Knocks

Published by Doug under EDM, House.

If this is the kind of music I can expect from The Knocks whenever it gets too hot to go outside, then I hope it stays hot for a long time.  This time they did a house remix of a Santigold song.  Go ahead and add this song to  your dj set list or simply [...]

Audien

Published by Doug under EDM, Electro, House.

I was sent this remix of a Goodie Mob song the other day.  It’s a remix from Audien, a guy that’s 20 years old.   It seems like there is some talent brewing up with him.  I guess I have one more person to keep my eyes on. Goodie Mob feat. Cee-Lo Green – Fight [...]

Bart and Friends

Published by Doug under Chilltastic, Indie Pop.

Matinée debut from Australian supergroup Bart and Friends!  From humble beginnings in the 1990s in Girl of the World to founding member of The Cat’s Miaow (and later Hydroplane, Pencil Tin and The Shapiros), indiepop icon Bart Cummings has spent two decades warming our hearts with his jangly pop nuggets. With a cast of other Australian [...]

The Aston Shuffle

Published by Doug under EDM, House.

The Aston Shuffle are two producers-DJs, Mikah Freeman and Vance Musgrove, from Sydney, Australia, where their radio show, Friday Night Shuffle on ABC’s Triple J, has turned them into household names.  Their latest ep, Won’t Get Lost, is available at iTunes and Beatport.   What really perked my ears up when I read the email about [...]

Disco Fries Remixes Avicii

Published by Doug under EDM, Electro.

Disco Fries put together a really nice electro remix of Avicii’s song Silhouettes.  I don’t think I’ve really found too many remixes of Avicii that I’ve enjoyed.  Part of that is because I tend to enjoy his original so much that I feel like the song is being ruined if anybody else messes with it.
