Video Premiere: Austra - Future Politics

Katie Stelmanis sees the unnerving political times we live in and channels her toughts into a new Austra album. Future Politics is released on January 20 2017 and lead single is the title track. A pulsating electro beat with a piercing vocal and thundering drums helps to deliver the message of change. As Katie says: It's time to build visions that are radically different from anything we've known before. The striking visuals builds on the same theme; a bleak corporate world with strict clothing and skyscrapers and concrete where dancing takes over and an alternate gathering forms. It reminds of Little Boots' Working Era actually! 

Premiere: Clare Maguire - Elizabeth Taylor (Mulholland Edition)

Just in time for the weekend - here's a remix banger from Clare Maguire! Her very awesome slow burner Elizabeth Taylor turns into a piano house jam and we call know that the real Liz T loved to p a r t y so it fits right in! There's something magical about a emotive songs that get paired with a dance beat and not to mention a powerful vocal. This one hits all the right places and we just wanna thank Clare so much for this treat. Enjoy below!  

Premiere: The xx - On Hold

Romy, Oliver and Jamie are back! The xx are a much needed always and On Hold is the first taster of upcoming album I See You (out January 13th). We really like the patented xx sound, and how it's paired with a slight hip hop club feel and how it samples Daryl Hall & John Oates' I Can't Go For That (No Can Do). And obviously amazing vocals from Oliver & Romy + how Jamie xx's production influence is so strong. Too nice!   

Premiere: Mr. Tophat Feat. Robyn - Trust Me

Lovin' this! Mr. Tophat and Robyn teamed up for the Main Thing remix earlier this year and now we have mooore. Here's a brand new jam - Trust Me! Robyn has been on a roll these last few years with all her collaborations - Neneh Cherry, Kindness, La Bagatelle Magique to name but a few, this adds to the collections so nicely. It sounds so genuine and like they had a proper blast creating it. Coming off like a love child of a 70's San Francisco disco club and long summer nights clubbing in Stockholm with an organic groove and a lil' string action, paired with those distinct Robyn vocals and a quirky & jazzy soundscape. All held together by that warm tone. Love it! Listen below! 

Premiere: Tove Lo - True Disaster

Tove Lo drops the bangin' True Disaster from her upcoming album Lady Wood (out Oct 28) and suddenly nothing else matters! It's such a sleek track that sounds damn contemporary yet so utterly 80's and also urgently decadent. It also has streaks of fellow Swedes ABBA in the "ah-haah" and that is of course fantastic! It's Tove Lo front and center and her universe of hard beats, killer choruses and cool girl persona is one we could live in 4-evah! LOVE!
