If you’ve been keeping up with this website for a while, you may have noticed I don’t necessarily blog about cutting edge-seconds-after-release brand new tracks. I have in the past and I might in the future, but as the days have passed I’ve realized that nobody gives a fuck who broke news of whatever hyped track first. For now and the future, all that matters to me is the lasting appeal of whatever it is I’m listening to. Everything is too short-lived these days and it’s honestly not a great thing. Savor these moments my friends.
You want the latest-cutting-edge-neu-LA-disco-dubstep-gonein60seconds hip shit? Find it elsewhere because all you’re going to find here is quality.
Miike Snow just released their self titled album and the single ‘Animal’ is obviously fun as hell. Not to forget the fact that anything Treasure Fingers touches turns into…..erm… treasure, he turns this pop escapade into screaming keyboard synth rampage. It might be ugly as sin in LA weather-wise, but it’s still summer and this bleeds it!

Also, the Crookers remix of ‘Animal’ is featured on the Miike Snow myspace and well, you know, whatever.
To Andrew: (fuck CITS^n x infinity), Them Jeans sent this to me a while back. I raved about it for a minute on twitter and somehow forgot all about it. MY BAD. never again. PUT YOUR BONGOS UP.
Feel this track. Them Jeans reworked the YYY’s ‘Soft Shock’ into a bongo-tastic summertime chill capsule. WE POPPIN PILLS. You need more bongo?

ALLO. The summer weather in LA is uncharacteristic, for the lack of a better word. June is here and thunderstorms, lightning bolts, and rain loom in the skies.
To continue with my series of summer music, Miami Horror will be the first in line for this post. (These) Guys aren’t strangers in blogdom, nor are they strangers here. I don’t remember ever posting any of their original productions, but let me preface this and say, it’s ALL GOOD HOMIE. All you need to do is close your eyes and pick any track he’s ever made and it will be gold.
Summer sounds its best with Miami Horror’s ‘Make You Mine’ off of the Bravado EP. Hand claps, bongos, SUPER FLUTE, summer, summer, summer. I hear some ‘Music Sounds Better with You’ filtered guitar riffs in there too. A healthy addition to any throwback. Can you hear it?

On the topic of gloomy skies in LA, remember back to the last post in which I mentioned Breakbot being signed to Ed Banger. There was a remix I completely forgot about and it would have been quite fitting for the situation. Unholy matrimony at its best.
Breakbot remixed Ed Banger poster boys, Justice ‘Let There Be Light’. It is SO Breakbot, SO good. Have your drink in hand by the pool and let this ride.
