Jai Paul – Crush (Jennifer Paige Cover)

Just who exactly is Jai Paul and what planet did he come from? Seriously, who is he? He’s one of the most enigmatic artists out there today aside from Bon Iver when Bon Iver was still Bon Iver (you feel me?). His sounds are out of this world. They spin, twirl, mix, and mash up [...]

Purity Ring — Grammy (Soulja Boy Cover)

We don’t follow your norms.  We could care less what the rest of the world is “on” to, or even doing for that matter.  We control our own world, and you, are, a part of it. Purity Ring dropped this crazy Soulja Boy cover of Grammy during the actual Grammy Week 2013.  Yea we heard [...]

Chromatics — Ceremony (New Order Cover ft. Ida No)

I love holidays in New York City.  It gives me a chance to breath the true beauty of such an incredible place.  My one and only, first true love, is NYC, so I’m always so excited to have the closest thing to alone time that I can with her. Ceremony (New Order Cover ft. Ida [...]

Ghost Beach – Vultures (John Mayer Cover)

I’m a little late to the Ghost Beach train, but after their little fan-tease yesterday I’ve hopped on and don’t want to get off. The duo announced that they had a little treat for us and this track is it. What a treat it is! I have a secret (well not so secret anymore) soft [...]

Rio En Medio – Let’s Groove (Earth, Wind & Fire Cover)

The first time I heard this track was during a Nicolas Jaar set at the Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival a couple of weeks ago. It kind of stopped me in my tracks at the time, forcing me to take a breath and examine my surroundings. Unfortunately at the time, I could not find the name of this [...]

Strand of Oaks – This Must Be The Place (Cover)

It’s currently Saturday, but aside from unpaid athletes on the TV Screen, it’s felt like a Sunday. And this tune has Sunday written all over it. Laid back, chilled vibes and a very unexpected take on one of the most inspiring, transcendent songs known to mankind. “This Must Be The Place” is one of “those [...]

Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 – For What It’s Worth

Certain songs are impossible to hate. Certain songs are impossible to NOT love. They are timeless classics that you could play for anybody, any age, and any color, and receive the same reaction: joy. These songs belong on an imaginary list where perfection is the norm. Buffalo Springfield‘s “For What It’s Worth” is one of these [...]

Chromatics – Into The Black (Voxels Remix)

It’s very hard to top a classic such as Neil Young‘s rock anthem Into The Black but what Chromatics did to it and then Voxels on the cover… This is just nothing short of amazing. Here’s the thing. I believe the original is very good, but it is only when you take it down a notch [...]
