DOWNLOAD: Woodhands - I Wasn't Made For Fighting
Our buddies at Paper Bag are proudly releasing the debut album by Canadian dance duo Woodhands later this summer. Entitled Heart Attack, it’s a straight-up party record that sounds like a boy band made of self-destructing robots performing in a space station on the moon (not an exaggeration). The Paper Bag RCRD LBL blog have more info and have posted a great track from the record called “I Wasn’t Made For Fighting”.
Sounds like: The Presets, Walter Meego
DOWNLOAD: NOBOT - Uke Falls
Remember that NOBOT/Estate remix exchange we featured earlier this week? Well we got our hands on the original NOBOT track used in the project, entitled “Uke Falls”. It’s more straightforward than the Estate remix, but we’re a total sucker for some vocoder action and heavy synth lines, and it definitely delivers on that front. NOBOT are from Minneapolis, and frankly, between them, Estate and the things we’ve been hearing from Too Much Love, we kind of want to go down there and see what’s going on. Road trip!

EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: Jamie Lidell - Little Bit of Feel Good (LA Garage Mix)

No one does blue-eyes electro soul quite like Jamie Lidell, and it shows in “Little Bit of Feel Good”, a track from his brand spanking new album JIM. Today we’re releasing the exclusive LA Garage Mix of the song, which will hopefully have the power to accelerate the arrival of summer and chase away the last strands of cold-weather-blues. The track sounds like Al Green boarding the P Funk mothership circa 2099, and has an added dose of sex appeal like only Jamie can dole out. Boom chicka wah wah!

EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: Cuizinier feat. Spank Rock and Pase Rock - Lettre F
Cuizinier is on his way to being France’s premiere rap artist, by virtue of being one of the main members of Parisian electro hip hop legends-in-the-making TTC and releasing his wildly popular Pour Les Filles mix tapes (the third and final volume of which is unleashed this month). The Institubes blog just dropped a mega bomb with “Lettre F”, an exclusive Cuizinier track featuring Spank Rock and Pase Rock. It’s total pop with a dangerous edge, like the perfect marriage between Pour Les Filles and Spank Rock’s 2 Live Crew-inspired Bangers and Cash project. Obviously, this musical coup is totally worthy of being a classic summer jam, and we’re sure you’ll be spinning it poolside for the next few months. It’s so fun you can imagine Spank, Pase and Cuiz hanging out in the studio and going crazy. The track was produced by TTC member Orgasmic, who’s signature glossy ‘80s style is all over the song. Enjoy…

DOWNLOAD: Estate + Nobot
Remix battle! Today we present to you the Magical Remix Project: two Minneapolis-based bands Nobot and Estate, have taken songs from each other’s repertoire and remixed them as they see fit, with awesome results. Nobot reimagined Estate’s “Let Her Know” as a vocodered love song sung by a broken robot, while Estate’s remix of Nobot’s “Uke Falls” is light and soothing, like the more bleepy moments of New Order meets Cut Copy. Check out both at their respective RCRD LBL artist pages.

DOWNLOAD: Temposhark - Crime
We recently saw London electro pop band Temposhark play a show to a crowd of in-the-know fans in NYC, and we immediately fell in love. We’re total suckers for a good hook, and Temposhark cranks them out like perfect pop machines, bashing us over the skulls with awesome hit after awesome hit until we beg for mercy. The central focus of the band is songwriter Rob Diament, who exudes the raw vulnerability of a man who spent every waking moment of his teenage years writing songs on his keyboard, under a giant David Bowie poster (not the worst way to spend one’s adolescence, you must agree). The track we’re featuring today is from their debut record The Invisible Line, called “Crime”. Its resonating lyric of “I want real gold in my hand” suggests that what Temposhark are after is total global domination, and can we blame them? If the world weren’t a lame ball of goo controlled by evil corporations, teens would be worshiping these guys instead of Zac Efron or whoever. Sigh.
After the jump, check out the video for Temposhark’s single “Blame”, which was directed by Japanese visual mastermind Motomichi.

DOWNLOAD: You Say Party! We Say Die! - Like I Give a Care (RAC mix)
Paper Bag have some interesting news to share… it would seem like, in a bid to strengthen East/West quirky power pop music alliances, You Say Party! We Say Die! and Woodhands are playing some shows in Beijing next month. It’s always a big deal when North American bands make it over there, so it’ll be interesting to see what exactly will go down. Pop trivia: did you know that the first Western pop group to do a full tour of China was Wham!? There’s even a pretty rad book about it.
Anyway, to celebrate YSP!WSD!’s imminent Chinese takeover, Paper Bag is releasing this awesome RAC remix of “Like I Give a Care”. Enjoy.

DOWNLOD: Fenin feat. Gorbi - A Try
More ambient dance pop from the SEEN RCRD LBL blog, this time from Berlin based electro mastermind Fenin. Fenin uses ambient, dub, IDM and soul to suck you into his blissed-out world of electronic down-tempos: like Moby and Massive Attack holding hands at the end of the biggest Ibiza comedown of all time. It definitely helps that Been Through, Fenin’s latest LP, comes straight form the roster of German techno heavyweights Shitkatapult Records. Head over to the SEEN blog to check out the video for Fenin's new single “A Try” and a hot download…
