Premiere: CocoRosie Feat. ANOHNI - Smoke 'em Out

CocoRosie and ANOHNI all get together against Donald Trump in brand new track Smoke 'em Out. Read their statement below. 

Today we share a new song to inspire the weary-disappointed hearts of so many crest-fallen citizens. We just started working on a new album, but “Smoke ‘em Out” begged to be turned loose on the world now, as a means of participation during these turbulent yet invigorating times. Joined on guest vocals by our fellow Future Feminist ANOHNI, “Smoke ‘em Out” welcomes the new character who will be occupying the White House with a mob of women and children armed with forks and knives. In the wake of this unnatural disaster, we feel a call to rise, shout, and burn the house down. The future is female.
peace, Bianca & Sierra Casady

The track itself is a thumping one with a steely, chilly beat, razor sharp rap and a roaring drum machine and ANOHNI's distinct vocals kicking in mid song. Love! The opposition against Trump is real and they (we) bring great music, too. Listen below! Pic via Pitchfork.  

Free Download: Lana Del Rey - The Blackest Day (Samuel Fnderio Remix)

Even though Lana Del Rey has been very generous with 4 studio albums between 2012 and 2015 it's easy to go a bit crazy in between. Being under her spell and all! Luckily there are plenty of bootlegs and here's a black and heavy one for The Blackest Day. The original version from the Honeymoon album is already fantastic and from the very first listen it was love from us. Samuel Fnderio adds a harder sound with pouding drums and an atmosphere of high drama which we absolutely love. A single release from the album would have been amazing and we're so happy to have this as a reminder of how brilliant this track really is. Check out below + download it here! Enjoy! 

Premiere: Mr. Tophat Feat. Robyn - Right Time

Mr. Tophat and Robyn are releasing the EP Trust Me on January 13th and here is some more sweet beats from it. Remember lead single Trust Me from late last year? Right Time is a bonbon filled with swirls of light and dark, a sweet and salty treat. It reminds in parts of New Order's Blue Monday and the jazz force is also strong with this one. Steeped in the heady world of nightlife and nocturnal events it sounds like a classic 12" to pull out when you really wanna impress a crowd. Robyn is as always trying on new things and her distinct vocals really makes a record stand out. Top marks! Thank U, Rapha!   

Best of '16: The Year In Music

Wow, what a year in music it's been! For us the highlight was to arrange a music talk with badass Little Boots at the MoMA (Moderna Museet Malmö) Malmö in Sweden! We had our live DJ debut also in Sweden and it was so awesome. Also - our like page became viral and reached just under 1 million people in under a month. WOW! Sadly we didn't have that much time for live gigs but we managed to head to RuPaul's Drag Race BOTS in Copenhagen, Denmark and it was much fun. Below is our annual Best of-list with 50 of our favourites of the year. (In no particular order.) We've gone nuts to awesome electronic beats, been mellow to gorgeous and emotive tracks and felt waves of happiness to soulful songs. They're all below, enjoooy! Click here is you prefer Deezer!  

Video Premiere: Nelly Furtado - Pipe Dreams

Yas! Nelly Furtado is b.a.c.k! It's been a full decade since she truly ruled the planet with her Loose album era produced with Timbaland. Her next album The Ride will feature collaborators such as Dev Hynes, Sky Ferreira & Kaytranada and first taster Pipe Dreams sets the bar high. Over a dreamy beat we get Nelly's distinct vocals and the end result is a gleaming gem of a song filled with depth and soul. The video is a lo-fi take far removed from her popstar days on roof tops and basement parties. She's wasting no time whatsoever as it's released directly via Pitchfork. NO middle hands! Watch below!
