Free Download: Stevie Nicks - Stand Back (F82 Remix)

Stevie Nicks' immortal 1983 monster hit Stand Back is one song we can never grow tired of even if we tried. Her iconic voice, that tight electronic production, amazing lyrcis and then synthesizers by an uncredited Prince. So much to love! Not forgetting the early 80's video + the first insane version that ended up being deleted + that stellar Solid Gold performance. Argh! It's too much! São Paulo based Brazilian DJ F82 does a superb job updating the production gearing it towards a big outdoor party under a glowing night sky. The highlighted bass, guitar and keyboards really shine and makes us wanna dançar our ass off! Gostoso! For the full backstory by Stevie herself click here.

Antony and the Johnsons - Angel of Fire (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire OST)

The wonderful Antony and the Johnsons are the album closer on the soundtrack to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Angel of Fire is a dramatic and heavenly song that soars and stirs emotions like you'd expect. Written by Antony Hegarty in 1992 already, the backing track for the song is in parts from a recording once used for NYC club performances. This eclectic approach suits his artistry and how lovely to get a peek inside the vault and at the same time get a superb song out of it. We love the gentle sound soothing our ears on a cold November night. We're sitting close to the fire tonight...

Premiere: Say Lou Lou - Beloved (Tiedye Remix)

Say Lou Lou's gorgeous and emotive dream pop power ballad Beloved gets a fresh remix by Gothenburg duo Tiedye. Listening we're getting some intense unpleasant dissonance right at the beginning. Like a relationship heading for a fall and not getting up. Then the bassline kicks in and slowly but surely there'll be dancing again. Like some friends gathering to pick up a heartbroken friend for a night on the town. Perhaps even fidning someone to flirt with. Nice! Click here for the full release info!

Premiere: Neneh Cherry - Blank Project

On February 25th '14 Neneh Cherry will release Blank Project, her first solo record in 16 years. Produced by post-punker Kieran Hebden a.k.a Four Tet the whole album (10 tracks) was recorded and mixed down in just 5 days. Also worth mentioning is that a certain Robyn Carlsson will be featured on a track called Out of The Black! The first taster is the title track, an eclectic and organic sounding song miles away from the sleek Buffalo Stance. Neneh's voice is raw over a sparse and dark beat. Those drums and bass hides a lot of pain and sadness while at the same time invite your body to find its primordial rhythm and just let it all out. The album is written to work through a personal tragedy and the evidence shows in this track. Sounding like a beat poet we're getting snippets from a family situation. It's raw, honest and a lot to take in. Press play gently below and prepare for quite a trip! Thoughts?

Free Download: Inner City - Good Life (Cisky Re-Edit)

If you find yourself wanting to liven up any party and make people dance hard there is a foolproof way. Just crank up the volume, lower the lights and put on Inner City's 1988 Detroit techno classic Good Life! Paris Grey's perfect vocals and Kevin Saunderson's flawless production set the standard for decades to come! That bassline, keyboard and synth hook makes us weak at the knees and kinda horny, haha. Italian DJ Cisky has added the dub version and airy piano house remix set up for a 7 minute dance off! L.o.v.e!
