Viceroy returns like a mack
The latest Jet Life remix from Viceroy is sizzling its way up the charts and its a definite heater.
The successful string of remixes have catapulted Viceroy into the public eye and for good reason. Each version in its own way has been a way of conveying his “summertime all the time” motto. Keep your eye out for a show near you.

weather music
Music and weather, weather and music. They go together like a fine wine and cheese, calvin and hobbes, models and buffets…
Here is some weather music for you to enjoy in the weather of your choice.
Johnny Kotze aka Johnny Neon is out of Cape Town, South Africa. He uses old vintage electronics and synthesizers to create 80′s inspired aestehetics of sunsets, palm trees, night drives and the love lost youth culture. A little time on his soundcloud revelaed a diverse collection of sounds alongisde the catchy single “Hearts.”
I’m loving the reference to Airwolf and Nightrider. Maybe those shows have just finally made their way over to South Africa?
Free download from soundcloud so get it while its hot.
Metronomy – The Look (Mikey V. Remix)
Los Angeles based DJ/Producer/Extrordianair, Mikey Velazquez, has produced a really well done remix of one of my favorite tracks. Mikey is an inspiration, and pretty much the definition of what it takes to make it in music these days. He manages the HAWT label A & R, hosts the weekly HAWT Music Radio podcast, organizes LA’s infamous HAWT events, produces originals and remixes, collaborates as a vocalist, drives professional Nascar, and DJ’s regularly.
Mikey puts his signature house twist on this already catchy jam which is slated to be released after Winter Music Conference.

Niki & the Dove x Goldroom
Lovin this remix of Niki & the Dove’s Mother Protect by Binary’s own Goldroom (Josh Legg). Niki and the Dove caught my attention back when Mylo surfaced with a remix of Gentle Roar. That jam sex-ed up my summer and now this one is hear to guide me through fall.
But dont take my word for it…

and the original in case you where wondering (“YOU CAN’T KEEP ME DOWN”)
Nuthin but love for ya
Rest well Heavy D. I wasnt a huge fan but this was and still is a jammy jam. The video is real good too.
Richie Panic got me all fired up
San Francisco’s own underground party rocker, and lover of cats Richie Panic has got me all fired up. Not only did he drop this gem of a mixtape a couple weeks back, and his latest edit of A-traks remix of “How deep is your love” is real good. Word on the streets is that Vol 2 of the mixtape is about to be born so keep an eye on the soundcloud and check back for updates.
He will be droppin’ some sound at the Red Bull Canvas Cooler Party tonight so check it out
But dont take my word for it…

blind pilot – we are the tide
One of my favorite bands of the last couple years, Blind Pilot, is scheduled to release their sophmore album “We are the tide” on Sept. 13. I am a bit more than excited as I really enjoyed their first album. It’s one of those albums you just cant stop listening to. From the lyrics down to the kick drums every bit is great. I spent many days riding down the coast listening to their sounds as they were an inspiration to me with their own bike tours. I plan on covering some ground with this album in my ears as well.

DJ DaBass mixtape
DJ DaBass out of germany put together this little gem of a mixtape. Nice clean transitions and great song selections. Defintiely getting my feet tapping, and my thoughts racing. On his soundcloud he says “Let the sunshine “get out of your dreams and get into your car”, roll down the windows and ignore the summer which is not worth mentioning so far”
Have a listen!

bright eyes live EP
Some exciting news from Indie icon, and one of my personal favorite artists, Conor Oberst. The Bright Eyes front man has announced that they will be releasing a live EP this coming July 4th weekend. I’m stoked on all the new Bright Eyes material as I was sure the band was done for. Dont get me wrong, I like the Monsters of Folk material as well as Oberst solo efforts, but something about Bright Eyes just gets me every time.
pre-order it HERE
I guess this is a good time to talk about their latest album as well. Bright Eyes released “The Peoples Key” earlier this year. The album stays true to style with Obersts wavering metaphors, intricate lyrics, and steadfast meloncholy, but there is a sense of maturity in this album. The songs all come off strong and confident, which I really like. I sense a bit of an electronic tinge to the album, which I directly attest to The Killers remix of Four Winds. There are some really strange samples about life, and evolution, and the battle between good and evil thrown in there. Not sure the orgin of those or if they come from an obscure movie perhaps. Overall this is pulling hard for my favorite bright eyes album. Favorite tracks include Approximate Sunlight (so damn good), Jejune Stars, and Shell games. Now for some tunes…
