It's Saturday, it's May, and summer is officially here in Brooklyn. It seems truly appropriate then that we received this dreamy dance remix of Frankmusik from the always busy Don Diablo this very morning! It's a slower retouch of the new single "Confusion Girl" (Out July 6th) from Frankmusik's debut album Complete Me out July 13th.
It's perfect for a day like this, so make a mix and blast it at a BBQ or the park!
Frankmusik - Confusion Girl (Don Diablo Loves to Slow Dance Remix)
For the past few months, Adam Freeland has been pushing the first single, "Under Control", from his new band, Freeland. With remixes from Alex Metric, Zombie Nation, and others, the debut single has already gotten lots of blog love and attention. Well today we've got the music video for the single and it truly adds a whole new dimension and energy to the track. Just imagine it live folks! Really psyched for this record, it's shaping up to be a big one. Catch it out this June on Freeland's own Marine Parade.
OH and be sure to catch the band on tour here in the US starting May 1st at DC's own Rock and Roll Hotel, followed by stops in NYC, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco.
Ok I'm pretty damn sure the title translates to "Pay Attention". The Portuguese language has a sexy edge to it which sounds like Spanish blended with Italian and French. On that note, this steaming-hot track is from a combo of Brazilians called The Fire and Reason. Bella sings, Steve plays the instruments.
With a mix of fidget influences and Bella's voice, the track is definitely going to be getting massive play this year. They're releasing this track on Larry Tee's So What label later this summer, but we've got the remix now so you can whet your appetite and start craving the EP! Damn, that sounded like a post about food? Maybe I'm hungry.

The über-talented StereoHereos just dropped this fantastic remix of The Offspring's classic "Come Out and Play (Keep 'em Seperated)" from their debut album, Smash.
This album was my first CD, and seeing this in my inbox this morning seriously got me excited. It's a track I've always thought would be awesome to remix due to the high energy, plus this is before Offspring fell off. The StereoHeroes did a great job taking the track into harder dance territory, with awesome builds, all the while keeping some of the track's original elements.
Fuck yeah, what a way to start the morning!

The following is a guest review from our boy Jeff of The Culture of Me.
It's always fascinated us here how artists, bands and fans outside of the US seem to take to the sounds from the twenty years from the day that rock 'n' roll as a genre happened. They simply "do" the music better than any of us, with more fervor than any of us and with the panache and vigor that seem to be all but gone from our minds here in the states. With the handful of people that make up Copenhagen, Denmark's The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, this all couldn't be more true. They've taken to the 60s soul, psychedelia and bubblegum like no band we've seen before--and remarkably, they've only been around for about a year.
And Sunday night, at their packed show at NYC's Le Poisson Rouge, throughout their 45-minute set of brassy, dancey and spunky tunes, they showed just how easy it is to win over hearts. With guitar, keyboard and bras-laden tracks like "The Sun Ain't Shining No More" and the iPod commercial used "Around The Bend", singer Mette Lindberg chose to let her voice do the, er, talking, flowing in and out of her range (massive for a woman so small of frame) and while the idiosyncrasies of her voice--which tends to squeak and bend somewhat randomly--may turn off some listeners, we didn't find it a trouble at all. What was most fun for us though, was that you couldn't have wiped the smile off of her or her bandmates' faces the whole time. Refreshingly simple, infectious and capital-F fun, we cannot tell you enough about putting this band on your watchlist. And seriously, prepare to have your summer taken over when the group's debut full length, Fruit, comes out May 19.

Godspeed!
