Pretty Lights

Nice video, awesome remix. Enjoy.

New Navy - Zimbabwe (Flume Remix)

Lemaître

Here's one of my favorite tracks from Lemaître's latest Ep, Relativity.

Lemaître - Coffee Table

Miike Snow feat. Lykke Li

The third single from Miike Snow's upcoming album, Happy To You, features Lykke Li.

Miike Snow - Black Tin Box (Ft. Lykke Li)

Me And My Drummer

Nice new video to Me And My Drummer's big track, You're A Runner.

Tourist

I first discovered the sounds from the Brighton based producer William Phillips through his former stage name, Little Loud, who's remixes I've featured here several times. After being away from the scene for some time, Phillips is now back with the first single under his new moniker, Tourist. Placid Acid was released earlier today and will be featured on Tourist's debut Ep coming out sometime soon.

Tourist - Placid Acid


Clock Opera -  Once And For All (Little Loud Remix)


Yeasayer - Madder Red (Little Loud Remix)

Party Supplies

Not the typical upload. Simply a track for the weekend from the Fool's Gold producer, Justin Nealis.

Party Supplies - Guy Friends


Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel

Miike Snow

Miike Snow just released a new single from their upcoming, second album, Happy to You, which is due out on March 27.

Miike Snow - Paddling Out

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Here's the excellent closing song (recorded by Julio Iglesias in 1976, originally performed by Charles Trenet) from the just as brilliant thriller, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - see it if you haven't.

Julio Iglesias - La Mer

MIXTAPE pt. 4

Kimbra

Most of you probably know Kimbra from her appearance on the critically acclaimed collab with Gotye on the hit Somebody That I Used To Know. Here is the latest single from the New Zeeland singer.

Kimbra - Two-Way Street

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (Woodkid Remix)

Nice remix from Woodkid, aka Yoann Lemoine, who also directed the music video for Lana Del Rey's title track Born To Die.

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (Woodkid Remix)

Nils Frahm

Here's the opening track from the new mixtape by Bag Raiders, released earlier today. The track by Nils Frahm isn't like anything I've ever posted before. The amazing ambient sounds from the German composer speak best for themselves.

Nils Frahm - More

More is taken from Frahm's latest album, Felt. It appears that Frahm stumbled upon the ideal sound for the pieces while trying to be a good neighbor. In his attempt to work late into the night, yet respect his neighbours, Frahm designed methods of dampening the sound of his piano. Using the damper pedal, placing fabric over the strings of the piano, playing very lightly so as not to disturb his neighbours slumber.  Doing so, he created the sound for this record.  And it’s stunning.

Nils Frahm - Familiar

Bon Iver

Thought I should repost one of last years most stunning acoustic performances. This little piece of magic by Bon Iver is well worth seeing over and over again.

All.I.Can x LCD Soundsystem

The above segment is taken from the award-winning ski movie All.I.Can, featuring rider JP Auclair - accompanied by the phenomenal tunes from LCD Soundsystem.

The Rapture x Aeroplane

Aeroplane does it again. This time Vito takes on The Rapture's spellbinding song, Sail Away, and the result is an undeniable hit.

The Rapture - Sail Away (Aeroplane Remix)

Newtimers

The Swedish crooners of Newtimers are back with the second tease from their upcoming debut, Ego. January Love proves this duo is definitely something to look out for. With a production just as slick as on the previous track, Falling - snappy beats, catchy lines and an infectious melody, Newtimers are maintaining the much prestigious comparisons with big acts like Prince(!). 

Newtimers - January Love

Listen to Newtimers previous single, Falling, HERE.

Poliça ft. Mike Noyce

Remember Poliça, the four piece electronic outfit from Minneapolis. I just realized I never posted the visuals to their collab with Bon Iver and GAYNGS' Mike Noyce. So, here it is - enjoy Lay Your Cards Out below, as well as the two other singles Dark Star and Wandering Star. Poliça's debut album will be out on February 14.

Poliça - Dark Star


Poliça - Wandering Star

Beat Culture

Watch the new visuals to Beat Culture's track, Before You Go, taken from BC's upcoming new full-length Tokyo Dreamer, which drops on January 15 via his Bandcamp. If you like the sounds you can also check out Midori below, which is based on a sample from Beyoncé's Halo.

Little Dragon

Little Dragon recently visited the Guardian's studios to perform Shuffle a Dream, taken from their latest album Ritual Union.

Friendly Fires x Tensnake

Friendly Fires - Hurting (Tensnake Remix)

Francis

Swedish indie pop act Francis are, after an eventful year of touring with The Tallest Man On Earth and releasing their warmly received debut album Lekomberg, We Were Kin, already back with new sounds. The first single Traktor is taken from the forthcoming EP, This Must Be Blood (out  February 27). Francis has its origins in the stomping folk and blues,  now morphed into a more rhythmic and experimental pop sound. 

Francis  - Traktor

Blackbird Blackbird

Here's the latest single from San Francisco's Mikey S. Maramag, better known as Blackbird Blackbird. Probably his most experimental track so far.

Blackbird Blackbird - New Leaf

If you've missed BB's beautiful, previous single, Tear:

Blackbird Blackbird - Tear

ROXY MUSIC x Todd Terje

More Todd Terje? Yes, please. The disco fever rises as the Norwegian takes on Roxy Music's classic tune, Love Is The Drug.

Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug (Todd Terje Disco Dub)

Loyal Divide

Hypnotizing, spellbinding... Call it what you want - this track from Chicago's Loyal Divide is good. Otto features fellow Chi-city resident Rachel Sarah Thomas, of Automata.

Gang Colours

Here's a sweet, whispery Blake-esque track. Fancy Restaurant is the latest single from Gang Colours, the musical project of the UK producer Will Ozanne. Debut album out in a couple of weeks.

Gang Colours - Fancy Restaurant

Michael Kiwanuka

2012 will be Michael Kiwanuka's year - that I promise you. Here is the latest addition to Kiwanuka's growing collection of soul-gems. Just reminding you - this British wonderchild is just 24 years old...

Michael Kiwanuka - Home Again


Michael Kiwanuka - They Say I'm Doing Just Fine

If you've missed out on the beautiful visuals from Kiwanuka, make sure you check them out HERE.

The Shins

Finally, after five years of being away from the scene (while frontman James Mercer released an LP and EP with producer Danger Mouse under the moniker Broken Bells.) - The Shins are back with the first single from their upcoming album, Port Of Morrow. Listen to the first single, Simple Song, below.

The Shins - Simple Song

Port Of Morrow is set to be released on March 20.

Blood Diamonds

Blood Diamonds is the alias of Vancouver-based musician Mark Tucker. The genre-blending sounds coming from this dude are quite unique. With samples and influences from electronic pop, tropicalia, rnb etc. Tucker has created his own distinctive sound.

Mark Ronson ft. Erykah Badu

Mark Ronson teams up with Erykah Badu, Trombone Shorty, Mos Def, Zigaboo Modeliste, and members of The Dap Kings for A La Modeliste, a smooth and jazzy track. It’s part of RE:GENERATION, a documentary which follows several producers.

Mark Ronson - A La Modeliste (ft. Erykah Badu, Mos Def & Dap Kings)

Lana Del Rey - National Anthem

Yet another track from the super hyped singer Lana Del Rey's upcoming album dropped last night. Listen to National Anthem below.

Lana Del Rey - National Anthem

AM & Shawn Lee

One of last year's most interesting collaborations is definitely the electro-soul-duo-turned-four-piece AM & Shawn Lee. The talented beat maker, Shawn Lee, always has his hand in the cookie jar when it comes to collaborating with musically talented people. His partner in crime this time is, AM, a vocalist from L.A. The two worked on this album by sending the tracks back and forth over the internet. Celestial Electric is the result of this match made in cyber heaven.

AM & Shawn Lee - Somebody Like You


 AM & Shawn Lee - Dark Into Light

Midi Matilda

The San Fransisco-duo Midi Matilda deliver some sweet electro-pop sounds reminiscent of Wolf Gang and Foster The People.

Midi Matilda - Day Dreams

SBTRKT

Hold On is the upcoming single from SBTRKT, which will include the b-side Ride To Freedom.

SBTRKT - Ride To Freedom

Adventure Galley

Listen to the big synth sounds, much reminiscent of The Killers and Cut Copy, coming from Portland, Oregon's Adventure Galley.

Adventure Galley - Weekend Lovers

Daughter

Daughter - Youth

Granit

The Barcelona duo, Granit, is set to release their debut Ep next month. Here's a little sneak peek of their dreamy pop. Aresta sounds a lot like something that could've come from Beach House.

Granit - Aresta
