How do you describe the genre bending sound of British rapper, singer-songwriter, record producer M.I.A.? Stoner hip hop? Psychedelic beat? Perhaps in the generic sense simply electronica. However you try to categorize it M.I.A. has captured the sound of now and while that may seem a bit familiar to some (remember De La Soul?) this is definitely a new formulation. I can already hear an adventurous DJ or two dropping “Bad Girls” into their set, hell the song is dance floor ready so expect to be sweating to this one on your next girl’s night out. “Bad Girls” is the first official single from M.I.A.’s fourth studio album set to be released this summer.

Today’s Song of the Day is the perfect type of contemplative Deep House track that is perfect for a long, solo drive in the car. It’s brooding melody is provided by Anjunadeep artist Matt Lange. Matt has become a favorite for Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe and it’s easy to hear why with “Avalon” Take a listen and if you like add it to you playlist today. Thanks for reading.

Well some of you might be wondering why it’s taken so long for Atlanta’s Treasure Fingers to find his way into this blog. While there is no excuse, we hope that today’s Song of the Day will help make up for our glaring omission. The track “Au Revue” is from the recently released “Crusaders EP”, which is a collaboration with No Brainer Records head Malente and is a two song disco / house tour de force. Now by highlighting “Au Revue” we’re not trying to say that the title track (and mildly amusing Official Video linked below ) “Crusaders” is filler, oh no. In fact we recommend just adding the entire “Crusaders EP” to your playlist so take a listen and let us know what you think.

Dirty South, Thomas Gold, and Kate Elsworth have teamed up again to bring us “Eyes Wide Open”. It’s the trio’s second combined effort since last year’s hit track “Alive”. Originally, Elsworth’s vocals were meant to be added to a bootleg that Dirty South & Thomas Gold were working on. However, the two producers fell so in love with the track that they decided to forgo the bootleg and make a song around Elsworth’s vocals.

M83 (aka French musician Anthony Gonzalez) have been around since 2001 and have definitely earned some performance cred. They’ve opened for many acts in the US and UK including Kings of Leon, The Killers, and Depeche Mode. With the arrival of their latest album “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming” I can say without hesitation this is finally M83′s time to shine. “Midnight City” the first single from “Hurry Up..” was quietly released this summer and the reaction has been building over the last few months mostly due to some amazing remixes of “Midnight City” being released recently. My favorites are the booming Man Without Country remix and the sublime Trentemøller remix. Take the music video for a spin and please add the “Midnight City Remixes” and “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming” to your playlist. Oh and help us keep this feature going by sharing this around the web, Thanks!

We have all watched in amazement at the new landmark being built downtown. It’s astonishing modern architecture has made even the most nonchalant of us intensely curious. Now it’s our turn (as regular folk who couldn’t afford tickets to the gala mind you) to see firsthand what all the nation-wide buzz is all about. Get to the Open House THIS Sunday at 12:00pm for an afternoon of performances by many local artists and musicians. It’s going to be an amazing treat!

Today’s Song of the Day comes from Junior Sanchez, a New York based DJ/Producer who has remixed tracks for Madonna, Gorrilaz,Daft Punk, Placebo, Shakira, and Róisín Murphy, to name a few. Today’s Song is a full-on House Music anthem with a little added Latin flavor, booming beats, and sweeping vocals. This remix makes this song a perfect marriage of East meets West as Swanky Tunes are Russian electronic group with a penchant for big beats and dramatic presentation. The remix works and it works well, I am tapping the keys with the beat as I type this and I can only imagine the amount of heat this song will create on the dance floor. Take a listen and if you like it… You know the drill! Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Today’s Song of the Day is a real treat, it’s like a musical Reece’s peanut butter cup and these two taste go oh so great together. The song “Lights” is the title track from English singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding’s “Lights” album. The original version is an upbeat little dance number showcasing Goulding’s love for electronic music (check it out HERE). Now enter Bassnectar with an advanced/bootlegged remix of “Lights” which adds a much darker tone to the song but keeps Goulding’s vocal front and center. We have heard this type of sound from Bassnectar before with several of his other tracks most notably “Magical World” which is his remix of Nelle Furtado’s “Turn Out The Lights”. Here that same formula of delicate female vocals over dark synths and booming percussion is perfected. I cannot wait to hear this one tonight at Kanrocksas! While this might have had a bootleg start it has clearly been embraced by Goulding and is featured on Bassnectar’s new album “Divergent Spectrum”.

Check out the video and please leave a comment if you like the song and be on the lookout for it to be performed tonight! Wanna add it to your playlist? Click the iTunes and Amazon links below… Easy!
