White Girls Lust
Veronica over a CreamTeam turned my attention to this most delectable retake of the Prince classic “I Wanna Be Your Lover.” Prince, in my humble opinion, is the righter of all wrongs; that isn’t just because I was raised in Minneapolis it’s because it is the truth. It takes a bold soul, or on this case two, to attempt to bring new character to the work of the man in purple but duo behind White Girls Lust up the disco factor and add just the right assortment of beats to make it work. It’s awesome headphones material, especially if you’re prone to music inspired burst of dancing in the streets.

Kids Of 88
The Kids Of 88 are amongst my new favorite discoveries. The New Zealanders make fun poppin dance tracks. They describe their sound as a”whimful combination of dirt spitting kicks and feathering grit. An overdose of nightlife; the lubricated moan of spilt vodka. The hard realization of concrete and the happiness of blurry vision. An alleyway gangbang between Grandmaster Flash and The Knack.” Which pretty much nails it on the head, as does this remix of their bit “My House.” In the hands of RAC is it hard to go wrong and this one is oh so right.

Timmy The Terror
I’ll be honest “Om Nashi Me” isn’t my favorite piece from Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros but after hearing the digital wash Timmy The Terror gave it a blossom of appreciation was loosened in me. Pulling apart the driving beats and letting them echo in a little more space gives the chant an artier vibe . Timmy maintains the warm reverential spirit of the original just skewed slightly for a different setting, instead of tripping through fields think biking home from a night of dancing.
