Calvin Harris

Since the first time I stumbled upon Girls, I’ve had a thing for Calvin Harris and that synth line pop swagger of his.  Here he brings some strawberry funk jam on The Reeling off of Passion Pit’s new album Manners.

Passion Pit – The Reeling (Calvin Harris Remix)

And an remix from the archives of Cut Copy’s Hearts on Fire.  Is it me or has there been a steady set of remixes to this song for the last year straight?  Nope, not just me.  Cut Copy is that good.

Spare a Billion?

Flosstradamus juked out this Totally Michael track proper.

Totally Michael – Casual Satisfaction (Flosstradamus remix)

Got this track a while back, Ayres juxtaposes her catchy words with some classic Oizo.  This song is just sassy.

Chelley – I Took The Night (Ayres Flatbeat Remix)

Damn Arms‘ recent melodic change is perfectly fitting with the recent emergence of midwest UV… post on the porch swing, put him on play, unbeatable.

Cut Copy – Far Away (Damn Arms Remix)

The Muse goes Down Under

I recently posted an Empire of the Sun track that stimulated my inner senses. I keep seeing more and more about Empire of the sun and decided to continue on that same route and do a post about one of the members former groups.

Nick Littlemore is one half of Empire of the Sun, but has been active for a while with bands such as the Killers, Ladyhawke, and a group composed of friends of Sir Elton John, named Pnau.  This song by Australian electronic group Pnau I have been loving for a while.  There’s something about a track with children singing on the chorus that I find ultra catchy… (think about the hook on D.A.N.C.E.)

On a similar note, why does Australia output such better movable indie music than the states?  It’s like they inject nuwave synth in their morning yogurt.  What the place may sometimes lack culturally, they more than compensate for with groups like The Presets, Midnight Juggernauts, Gameboy/Gamegirl, Cut Copy, the list goes on and on and on.  Point in case:
