M.A.U is know for their New Wave electro sounds and catchy tunes and this song is no exception, the remix the Rockets made is a the Disco House masterpiece , it takes this song into a different level, I'm really excited to see what else this guys will do next.

Mr. Gnome and Vagina Panther

Cleveland duo Mr. Gnome is finishing the last touches of their forthcoming album Have Yer Skeleton available November; although they've been compared over and over to some great bands, form what I can tell you their sound although mature, still has an raw edge that creates a harder sound, yet is not somber or boring, in fact its loads of fun. They've graciously enough sent over two tracks from "Have Yer Skeleton", and feel free to go to myspace page to check out their tour dates.
Mr. Gnome - Vampires
Mr. Gnome - Slow Side




Vagina Panther or VP if you are a pussy, is set to release their latest self titled album. They've send us a taste of their music which goes great with The Gnomes in that they are both raw and fun.
Vagina Panther - Dave you kill me

A-ux



A-ux is back! And with some amazing new material, as well as some remastered music that brings out some chilled classy Hip Hop. The first song is called "Forgotten Memoirs" an amazing electronic song that was inspired by his latest state of mind (very nice huh). The second song is an old song that he re-worked and is what I would describe a chilled Hip Hop a very very nice song.

From Chicago comes Yawn, yes an odd name but i'ma role with it. Yawn has just released their latest ep; their music sounds like an electronic tribal/Caribbean music it almost reminds me of the music you would listen on the soundtrack of Beverly Hills Cop or some 80's movie, it brings an amazing sense of nostalgia while keeping your spirits up. You can check out their ep at their website.

Yawn - Toys
Yawn - Empress

Blindfold "Fake Dreams"


With mind controlling soothing lyrics accompanied with a melancholic sounds, comes Blindfold. Blindfold has just released their album "Fake Dreams" which is a perfectly crafted album with tracks that set the ambiance for fall; I sat dow on one weekend and was never able to put it down.
Blindfold - Sad Face

Midnight Masses

There is something that draws me into Midnight Masses it may have to do with the brilliant compilation of artist drawn from some of the best bands out there, all I know is that I've listen to some of their other work and is just as solid as this song I'm posting, so whenever their CD "Rapture Ready, I Gazed At The Body " is available in November 10th its one of CD's you should be listening to.

Midnight Masses - Preachers Son
**Bonus **
I know alot of people have a love/hate relationship with Heads We Dance, but how about if I sweeten the deal with a remix by the great Justin Faust, ok... I think we have a deal.

Metronomy

So last week I had some amazing post waiting; however Time Warner Cable takes a week to transfer service and Apple service sucks, so I was not able to post what I had plan; however I'm just going to narrow it to two artist that I'm currently in love with.

First off is the new Metronomy , with the addition of two members and the loss of one they are out with the new song called " Not Made For Love" and it comes with a remix that is causing quite a stir in the bloggesphere.
Metronomy - Not Made for Love (ALALAL Remix)

Next is Don Diablo's latest track called "Get on the floor" featuring J. Rock and Big Ed a song that I wasn't sure at first if I was crazy about it, but for some reason it made it into my iphone and now I'm hooked.

Don Diablo - Get on the Floor (Ft. J Rock and Big Ed)

Mount Righteous Open Your Mouth


On September 25th Mount Righteous will be releasing their latest CD "Open Your Mouth " and I could not be more excited; this band embodies what a true Indie band is all about. With the compilation of many percussion and wind instruments, it creates an uneven experience of true musical goodness. Although there is still a few days to go, they've sent a song to makes us lust for the rest and the best part is that they've provide us with outlets to purchase this masterpiece whenever it becomes available.

Dragonette LehtMoJoe Remix

LehtMoJoe had sent this remix a few months back, but due to release dates infringements he ask us to hold off on posting the song (its OK I'm always running late anyway). So here it is the long awaited Dragonette remix, yes, unlike most remixes this song actually slows downs the song and makes it into a ballad, any question on how the song sounds originally, well watch the video below.

The Sounds "La Dolce Vita Remix"


The guys of La Dolce Vita sent over a new remix. As we know summer is over, in many parts of the country the afternoons are getting cooler and the sweaters are starting to re-appear; the guys of La Dolce Vita refuse to let this summer go without another remix (perhaps because the winter in Chicago are brutal). The remix is from Swedish band The Sounds single " No one sleeps when I'm awake", the remix is a good rendition for this amazing song, with the guys from La Dolce Vita breaking down the song and re-piecing it together to make it into an electro/glitter wonderland.

Fascination Movement


The Fascination Movement are soon to release they're latest single "Bringing down the wall" a nice little new wave, song with enough darkness and industrial to dye your hair black and dance on a wave movement, unfortunately the MP3 is not available yet but here is a video with the song.
