MUST LISTEN 11

Sharing some track that we should be listening to this week.

I particularly love the first track on this set. It's After Hours from Ablebody's new EP. Also, listen to How to Dress Well's not so new track Repeat Pleasure from his upcoming new album. He has a new track circulating the net but this one stands out. First time to hear an upbeat HTDW.

MUST WATCH: Stop Taking My Time by Club 8

Because Club 8 can get away with anything. This song really grows on me. I even use it as my workout song earlier today. hahaha yes I'm trying to workout and hopefully will get a beautiful result. Emphasis on beautiful. hahaha. Anyway, watch the video guys. It's off of their 8th studio album Above the City which you can pre-order here

MUST LISTEN: Stop Taking My Time by Club 8

I'm not really sure if i dig this new single but one thing is certain, Club 8 knows how to make awesome pop music. They are not afraid of trying new sound and influences every time they come up with a record and it's one of the endearing qualities of Club 8. With Stop Taking My Time, they kind of revert back into a dancefloor-worthy club track with heavier beats and synths a la Strangely Beautiful's Saturday Night Engine but darker. This is off of their new album Above the City under Labrador.

Okay, I lied! I loved it! ;p

High in the Sky

my current addiction. Love this song so much, I've been looping it the whole day yesterday, also today and most definitely tomorrow.

Love this disco-ready remix by Krystal Klear.

:p

MUST LISTEN: PNP4 by Plant a Tree

Pat Sarabia's alter ego Plant a Tree drops a subdued dance track featuring a local actress named Glaiza De Castro on vocals. Ok Pat, im calling this track my official 'kembot' jam! Hahaha SUPER LOVE IT! Download here

BAND CRUSH: Jupiter

I haven't heard any good dance music lately until I discovered Jupiter. Their brand of dance music is everything I wanted.It has catchy dub beats, boogie funk, nu disco and sci-fi pop that breeze through Amélie's robo-girl vocals.

The video below is super LOVE! It's called Sake which is part of their debut album Juicy Lucy. It kinda reminds me of Daft Punk's earlier sound but with a female vocals.

I think this song just gave birth to a new genre which is French JPop hahaha

Like I said, they just released their full-length album this month called Juicy Lucy. And I must say, it's one of my fave releases so far. You can stream a minimix of the tracks from that album below. You're welcome :)

MUST WATCH: goods by iamamiwhoami

Like i usually say, JUST HIT THE PLAY BUTTON!!!

Check out her other music here

see you on a dark night

THIS JUST IN! Grimes releases a video for Oblivion- my favorite track from the Visions album! I soo love Claire Boucher and will do a separate post about her soon. But for now, enjoy this very fun song and video!

MUST LISTEN: Heart Attack by Asteroids Galaxy Tour

JUST LISTEN!!!

MUST LISTEN: Hold My Breath by Holy Ghost!

Good morning, people! It might be storming outside but that's not an excuse to skip aerobics today especially if Holy Ghost! is playing on the background. Hold My Breath is the new track from Holy Ghost!'s self-titled album and its Let's Get Physical vibe would make you lose few pounds by just listening to it. hahaha!

NEW MUSIC: Audio, Video, Disco by Justice

One last new track to get your Sunday morning pumping. Here's Justice's new single and also the title track of their new album Audio, Video, Disco.  


 

MUST WATCH: Radioactive by Marina and The Diamonds

WELCOME TO THE MILLENNIUM! Marina and The Diamonds' new single Radioactive could pass as a anthem in one of the street parties in Malate circa 2000 with all its trance sensibilities. Ive never heard Marina this disco before. Her second album Electra Heart will be out soon and i dont know when. But so far, I'm liking her new vibe.

MUST WATCH: Call Your Girlfriend by Robyn

I'm sorry Thom Yorke but you've been out-danced by Robyn in her new music video for the track Call Your Girlfriend. This probably is THE dance music video of the year. See, you dont need too much metaphoric imagery, expensive couture costumes and elaborate story line to make an epic music video. You just need a perfect song and a killer dance choreography to go with it. I can already imagine my friends doing Robyn's freestyle dance moves! PLUS THE SHOES! Robyn's platform shoes remind me of what the Spice Girls wore back in the days

Here's the music video for Call Your Girlfriend from Robyn's Body Talk album:

MUST WATCH: Civilization by Justice

Apocalyptic, futuristic, fantastic! This music video of Justice's Civilization is a perfect soundtrack for the recent end-of-times claims. The track is part of Justice's yet to be named second album, their follow up to the 2007 release †. 

NEW MUSIC: Hands by The Ting Tings

I am not really sure if I like this new track from The Ting Tings but it sure is a catchy one. I only played it once in our communal stereo and our EIC was singing its chorus while exiting our office. I dunno, it's just way too disco gay for me. The duo teamed up with Calvin Harris in this track and you can download the unreleased remix of Hands here. Their sophomore album Kunst will be released this October.

MUST LISTEN: Hang With Me (single version) by Robyn

Hang With Me was probably one of my favorite tracks from Robyn's Body Talk Pt. 1. With its stripped out and heart pouring melody, it's an unexpected ballad track to close an electro-dance filled album. The new version of it appears in Body Talk Pt.2 which is totally different from the earlier version. It's dancey and synth-full, electropop jam close to everybody's fave With Every Heartbeat. I don't know which one's better but it goes well to any mood you have.

Here's the first version from Body Talk Pt. 1:


and here's the single version from Body Talk Pt. 2

MUST WATCH: Celestica by Crystal Castles

Crystal Castles continues to "gothify" their image with their newest music video for Celestica. This is my favorite from all of the leaked tracks that will be included in their sophomore self-titled album. It still has that dark elctro sound induced with melodies and catchy beats.

This music video is pretty much dark and has that goth imagery going on. It's just refreshing to see Alice Glass in a very contained state. I like her better on stage, though. That girl knows how to get crazy and i love it.

Watch the video here

BAND CRUSH: Jamaica

If you are a big fan of Phoenix and Two Door Cinema Club, you would probably love Jamaica. Kitsune Maison compilation introduced me to the band with their song Short and Entertaining. And from the title suggests, Jamaica delivers what they promised. It's infectious and catchy and you would just want to put it on loop until your ears bleed. From the time the guitar intro teased me with its stop and go hook, I was immediately strung out. I also include the video for their current single I Think I Like U2 which is equally catchy as Short and Entertaining.
 
Their upcoming album is co-produced by Justice’s Xavier de Rosnay so we'll be expecting a smashing debut from this Parisian duo.

Short and Entertaining

MUST LISTEN: Wall of Arms by Friends Electric

There's nothing new about this track from Friends Electric. You might have heard a million songs similar to its sound. But regardless of freshness, Wall of Arms is a solid dance track that can make you go whoa! and yeah! while doing your regular choreography.

That's it
