Now here's an interesting track for your Saturday. It's an upbeat instrumental number from DJ/Producer David Sugalski, AKA The Polish Ambassador, and it could work either as a wake-up or a warm up. It's versatile like that. If you enjoy it, you'll probably dig the rest of his latest release, The Color of Flight, which mixes eclectic sounds, inventive melodies with some really sweet beats.
RILY: Beats Antique, Why?, Break Science, Pretty Lights
Midnight’s crazy when you’re down
Plant your tears in the ground
Dream plantations slowly grow
Until they cover your sorrow
Let's keep the smooth, mellow and funky going with the new single from Cut Copy. This is pretty classic Cut Copy, with a polished, upbeat lounge vibe that's perfect for chair wiggling.
RIYL: Toro y Moi, Hot Chip, Neon Indian, YACHT
Mirage, so careful now
Too close, you're finding out
Is it me being blind?
Notice that I'm high as a kite
And now I'm pacing too fast to speak
It's me, so fine
I was only looking to be with you now
So take it or leave it, take it or treat it
So high
I dunno why I do this to myself
So high, so high, so high
We flew into Austin this morning, from Miami, and Kerri dropped me straight off at work, ready to rock and roll. Was such a great weekend. Looking forward to another visit. You might be asking what the devil that has to do with today's Most Important. Well, Toro y Moi's new cut, "Mirage", has a funky vibe that feels perfect for art deco, dancing, palm trees, and beaches.
RIYL: Cut Copy, Neon Indian, Washed Out, Tennis
I can't take it anymore
Got to get up on the floor and move
Taking his sound straight from 1978, Luxxury (aka Blake Robin) has released a couple singles this summer that also, somehow, remind me of 1991 Will Smith (fka Fresh Prince). I've been searching for a new song that reminds me of "Summertime" in an ephemeral way, and I think this is it. Reading up a bit on this L.A. producer/DJ, it sounds like his live sets would really make you dance your cares away. Good times.
RIYL: Bee Gees, Chic, LCD Soundsystem, Mark Ronson, Kungs
The minute I was thinking
to hold you back.
The moment I was wishing,
it's overnight.
TGIF! The latest track from Aussie retro-pop band, Parcels, is a perfect cut to get the weekend going and/or your dance party started. If you're into groovy, smooth and well-crafted dance music Parcels has what you're looking for. It's good stuff. Check out "Allaround" and "Older".
I'm writing this on Tuesday night (a TMIS secret, don't tell) from San Francisco, my favorite city, and I'm already thinking about the weekend. Kerri is coming and, fingers-crossed, we're going to do some much-loved shakin' and here's to hoping Parcels is on the playlist.
RIYL: Daft Punk, Oslo Parks, Vacationer, Mew
