Premiere: Röyksopp Feat. Susanne Sundfør - Never Ever

Hurrah! Brand new Röyksopp and Susanne Sundfør is Never Ever a bad thing! After Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland left the album format last year and venturing into a more loosely based release cycle we're more than happy it's not the end of new Röyksopp music! This single has already ruffled the feathers of their fan base. Judging by comments ppl are upset about the more than commercial production and we can hear what they mean. It's a very accessible sound that takes part of the duo's formula and turn 'em into a, dare we say, radio hit. The three collaborated in 2013 on the magical Running To The Sea and the darkness there is lacking here. Not a bad thing perhaps as a palate cleaser for things to come. PLUS, that drum machine does things to us - so hot! Listen below! Thoughts?

Premiere: Lady GaGa - Perfect Illusion

Eight years since Lady GaGa debuted with The Fame - here's Perfect Illusion, her first pop single in three years! The last time we had a solo studio album was 2013's ARTPOP that built on her myth but felt uneven and heavy. The last few years we've had her joint jazz album with Tony Bennett and her The Countess character on American Horror Story as main anchors if a LG fix has been needed. Her return to Mother Monster sounds like a fun rock anthem, co-written with both Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, Mark Ronson and Bloodpop (Blood Diamonds). It sounds miles away from her catchiest hits and but could have been included on The Fame Monster easily. So classic GaGa but still looking to the future. Her album is still going under title LG5 and it'll be interesting to hear what this new era hold. We really like how effortless this new taster sounds like and how she still holds true to her core. Thoughts?

Mistaken for love, it was a perfect illusion...

Premiere: Tuff City Kids with Annie - Labyrinth (Club Mix)

YEAH BABY! Annie's move from Bergen, Norway to Berlin, Germany keeps bringing on the goods! She's teamed up with Frankfurt DJ duo Gerd Janson and Philip Lauer a.k.a. Tuff City Kids for their upcoming album Adolescent (out Oct 14) - sweeeeeet! This collaboration is truly hot and we absolutely love the Chicago house feel paired with Annie's distinct vocals and how the end result sounds so effortless. It nods towards history without losing sight of its own destiny waiting at the horizon. Drum machine, cow bells, laser sounds and wonky synths, what's not to fall in love with in 2,5 seconds? Enjoooy! PS. What better than to use the 2009 album cover of Annie's criminally good Don't Stop for this post? :D 

Premiere: BANKS - Mind Games

BANKS is delivering heavy duty goods with new material from her upcoming The Altar album (out Septmeber 30). Brand new Mind Games is an enchanted forest of sounds with dark and twisted vocals hidden deep in the mix. Shining like a black diamond in a deep well is the lead vocal that is sharp and filled with angst, just like we like our BANKS, haha. The song elements are cohesive, suggestive and dramatic. Not to mention the absolute gorgeous outro. Top marks! 

Premiere: Say Lou Lou - Stayin' Alive (Bee Gees Cover)

Wow! Say Lou Lou kick start their new era with a disco classic! The 1977 Bee Gees original defines the disco era along with the full Saturday Night Fever soundtrack that they produced for the film classic. This cover has its roots more in *dream pop* with a singer songwriter approach. It's dirtier and that extended note send shivers of pleasure down our spine. Nice! This gem is out t o d a y via the sisters own label á Deux Records - enjoy! Alsoooo - don't miss their 2014 cover of Daft Punk!
