Active Child // Classixx

Classixx is rising up out of their hidden lair this summer and along with them they've brought a new mix for LA's Active Child. "When Your Love Is Safe" gets the chilled gloss treatment, complete with snapping fingers and drifting keys. definitely a great summer slow jam, Classixx never miss a beat

The Knocks x Monsieur Adi

the knocks & their perfectly crafted dose of summer addiction "Make It Better" has been playing on repeat around these parts for a good while now. As if I could take anymore lushness Monsieur Adi has come along and driven up the vibe to a whole new plain. Throwing in some really open synths and a great breakdown complete with winding guitar solo  turns "Make It Better" into a epic track  while still holding on to the blissful character of the original  . thanks to TMS for droppin the knowledge!

Aeroplane // We Can't Fly

Over the last few years Aeroplane has been making craters in everyones mind with their numbingly good brand of remixes. This september the duo are releasing a collection of their own creations to us all and i am proper stoked. Tracks like "London Bridge" and "Fish In The Sky" bring sounds and rhythms from generations past and piece them together in a way only the two lads from Belgium can. "We Can't Fly" isn't just a collection of tracks; it plays like a real album, winding up and down throughout while showcasing all of Aeroplane's talent. I'd say it sounds a lot like a great soundtrack to some lost 80's summer blockbuster. The album is to be released Sept. 6th so start saving.

She's Gone

Part of the daily routine around here is a quick check over at one of my favorite blogs Too Many Sebastians. Today i found myself confronted with a song that in just a few quick hours has turned me into a love struck sap in the best of manners. Walter Sobcek are duo, part French and German, that make some of that great lush 80's pop I can't get enough of lately. Recently they made a cover of "She's Gone" by good ol' Hall & Oates and it's a triumph. It's reminds me of the spirit of Matt Van Schie's "Journey" (another heavy favorite here) and I can't get enough of it. keep it coming.
