Monarchy

Monarchy will be another important piece of the ever-expanding electro-pop scene. That is if they take to the studio and follow the same formula of this catchy dream-wave demo. This song builds slowly with a airy synth pattern until your fully mesmerized then gives a guitar lick that drives the song into another dimension.

Monarchy is a blip on the radar that you should be looking out for. Def Starr gives the already classic song a proper makeover.

Jay-Z - Run This Town (O-GOD Remix)

I've been diggin this tune for a couple of days now. I love mixing songs with drum patterns like this one. Can't find anything on the O-GOD, though, so no myspace link for ya. Hopefully, we'll see some more of this guy soon.

Russians

Oh how I do love me a nice White Russian. Something about the sound of that milky ice hitting the side of the glass. And, I'm talking the drink of course not some mail order bride from Moscow people. Well, without further ado let me introduce to you todays talent. The Tapeaters and Upstation are 2 different up and coming artists out of Russia. These two Ruskies provide that 80s new-wave sound that we love with huge pop influences aligned with their Moog synth's. These are all proven unbeatable elements in Electro-Pop these days. Have yourself a listen and even a download or two. Enjoy.

The Tapeaters- They Are Coming

Upstation- Connect
Upstation- Something Special

Ah, what great weather we had today in Gainesville. High of 74 without a cloud in the sky. Should be a great night to go out and get loose. To help put ya in the mood, here is a track I came across the other day. Kids at The Bar usually provide a high energy electro energy to their remixes and this one is no different. It reminds me alot of a Designer Drugs tune, but I can't put my finger on which one.

Kill Hannah - New York City Speed (Kids at the Bar Remix)

Pony Pony Run Run - Hey You (Kolt13 Remix)

With school (very) briefly slowing down for me, I got a chance to scourge the internets for some choice tunes. Be sure to check back daily, I'll be droppin 'em one by one for the next few days.

Let's start things off with a bang. Here we got Kolt13's take on Pony Pony Run Run's "Hey You." I had seen Kolt13 around the web, but never really took him seriously. After this remix, best believe I will.

Amanda Blank - Shame on Me (Viking Remix)

I've blogged about Amanda Blank before, but haven't hit yall up with some Viking knowledge yet. This DJ/producer burst onto the scene with his hugely popular remix of Kid Cudi's "Dat New New." While the production was a bit lacking, you could tell the talent was there. Now, several remixes later, every song Viking puts his hands on shoots to the top of the Hypem charts.

This past Friday, Viking spun with none other than DJ Jazzy Jeff in NYC at the infamous Webster Hall. No doubt the kid dropped his latest piece to start the night off right.

P.S. The video is a cut from his unreleased remix of Shwayze's "Get U Home." I personally can't wait for that shizzle to drop--a dancefloor destroyer.

Penguin Prison

Everything out of the Neon Gold camp is coincidentally "gold", and this NYC artist isn't much different.

Penguin Prison first became blog-worthy with his popular remix "I'm Not A Robot" by Marina and The Diamonds. Well with his latest 'A Funny Thing' it's comforting to know that this is only a sample of what is to come from his debut album set to release November 23rd.

Penguin Prison- A Funny Thing

Penguin Prison- Animal Animal

Erik Hassle- Hurtful (Penguin Prison Remix)

Bacon Is Good For Me!

There's a lot to be said for lil Benjamin Button's passion....

Weezy/Wale

The much hyped mixtape 'No Ceilings' from Lil Wayne finally hit internet portals everywhere on Halloween and is getting much buzz. Per usual on a mixtape he has ripped big hits from the past few months and spits catchy metaphor after catchy metaphor. Not sure if he fully hit the mark but might as well give it a listen cus he'll be in jail for a minute. After giving it a full listen I'm feeling pretty, pretty confident that I have plucked some of the brighter spots off the album for you. Wale's upcoming debut album 'Attention Deficit' drops the 10th of November but you no we got it. It was inevitable this thing would leak so if your a real hip hop head be sure to support this guy when the album drops but until then enjoy these tracks.

Lil Wayne- Watch My Shoes

Miami Horror - Sometimes

What up, yall? I know the posts have been sporadic, but school can be a bitch sometimes. Anyway, I've been jammin' to this tune for a couple weeks now and have been liking it more and more.

Miami Horror always provides a great 80's party vibe in his songs, and this one is no different. I know it's a little old in blog time (like a month, lol), but I want to make sure I really like a song before I recommend it you, my loyal followers...wherever you are...
