THIS SONG IS SO GOOD- CAN’T STOPPPP. PP self-entitled new album drops on September 5 in Europe and October 18 in the US.
I took this picture tonight @ Hudson River Park. Hey Irene, you diva, we’re too pretty for you.
Sunday Scoop V31: Lovestep
Jul 24th
I want to BE in Capri, how delicious does that acqua look? Yum. In the meantime, we have some tunes to keep you dancing just in time for Monday. I don’t even know where to begin.. Calvin Harris? Ellie Goulding? RAC? CSS?
Nero’s sensual remix of Feel So Close (Calvin’s still riding the wave) is wonderful. It adds a little mystery, a little intrigue. The track has been referred to as dubstep’s first love song. Yes please.
Calvin Harris – Feel So Close (Nero Remix)

Next- Ellie and RAC. I don’t even need to say ANYTHING, as you all should be aware of how much we love both. Everything RAC touches turns to gold and this song just sparkles in the heat. Must must must. (Really sad I didn’t make it to Brooklyn Bowl- one of those chaotic city evenings)
Ellie Goulding – Lights (RAC Remix)

These next two come from a blog I’ve recently been introduced to curated by a fellow Bantam and new friend of mine- I highly encourage that you check it out. Great content, great jams. The month-end mixtapes have enough variety to keep you wanting more but share the perfect easy listening pop dancy chillwave sounds. Doo it —> Bempology.com.

Into these? Seriously- go DL the entire June (May, April, etc) mixtape here. So much for everyone.
we have too many bruises from too much kissing, and the only pain would be from too much missing
Sunday Scoop V30: SBTRKT
Jul 3rd
From XL, the same talent exploiting label that spawned Ratatat and The XX (to name a couple of favorites), London Based producer SBTRKT (SUBTRACT- another masked mystery) launched his debut self-titled LP at the end of June and it is an absolute treat. The versatility is what really caught me- from funky synths to tribal beats to melodic lyrics, SBTRKT has it all covered. It’s so listenable, so easy on the ears, doesn’t have too much of that overdone redundant build up. I digggg.
As a matter of fact, I am questioning my Saturday attendance at Bisco to stay instead in NYC and see SBTRKT live at MoMa PS1, join me?
Check out the event here: MoMA PS1 Warm Up
Support SBTRKT by buying his LP on Beatport.
And a preview of some of the album…

Sunday Scoop V29: La Mode et La Musique
Jun 5th
This month, along with the regular subscription of Plastik Magazine (probably my favorite International Mag), something was sent along as a compliment to Summer of Love. A One Year in Plastik CD.
One of my favorite tracks amidst the smorgasbord of steamy French lyrics and techno pops comes from Something a la Mode and features Chanel’s legendary Creative Director, Karl Lagerfeld. The track was commissioned by Lagerfeld for a Chanel show in Venice awhile back and has since been released. It’s perfect. Download here, watch the video below.
KL: “La mode et la musique, c’est identique. Parce que la musique aussi exprime son epoque.”
Fucking genius.
