Pretty Good Dance Moves, a band out of Chicago and Brooklyn has released a new track to the universe. That tracking being “Leave Me Alone” featuring Bjorn Yttling of Peter Bjorn & John. The track sparkles and wiggles along on handclaps and phosphorescent synth.
In other news, Mason Proper has some sweet remixes out of some of their tracks from their sophomore album “Olly Olly Oxen Free”. They’ve been out for a while now and I’m just now listening to them. I’m really enjoying Wallpaper’s classic house take on “Safe For The Time Being”. Gotta love those string stabs over the staccato piano chords.
December has to have the highest concentration of holidays in the fewest number of days. I mean… Hanuka, Christmas, Kwanza, New Year’s Eve, Boxing Day, and of course my birthday, which happens to coincide with New Year’s eve. That’s a lot of holidays! So I’m posting this ahead of time since I will probably be consumed with festivities on December 31st as I’m sure many of you will as well. So here is my birthday/new year’s gift to you, a mix of some of the best remixes I’ve heard this year. Bon nouvelle année et joyeux anniversaire à moi!
