I just had to post this song not because LCD Sounsystem knows how to make some dope music, but it has been put too probably one of the coolest skiing scenes known to man.  The songs slow progression leads into a great beat and is perfect for this ski scene.  I bet the people in this town where just like, “who the fuck is skiing in my front lawn?”  I’ll shut up and let the video do the talking.

Okay since that last song was rather old, I must follow it up with a really new song, so here you go.  It’s called “Forever” by Till Death, and there isn’t a whole lot to this song but I must say it has an awesome melody and is a fantastic track overall.  The guitar riff in the beginning is consistent throughout the song but that settles well with me and the song builds in the slightest of ways and keeps this a nice chill song.

The M Machine are a trio from San Francisco and they have been gaining popularity rather quickly. They have opened for the likes of Pretty Lights and Empire Of The Sun and had summer gigs at Global Dance Festival, EDC, and Electric Zoo. The song I have for you today is off their upcoming album titled Metropolis Pt. 1, which is scheduled to release on April 24th, and from this song I can tell it is going to be a dope record. “Faces” is a very chill electro song with a bit of an Indie vibe to it which gives it a nice driving/dancing feel. Take this song and blast it as you cruise around town nice and slow for maximum awesomeness.

Hailing from Minnesota Gigamesh is a indie dance power house. A notable accomplishment of this producer is his involvement in Mike Posner’s success. Gigamesh remixed Cooler Than Me which ended up being the number one single from his album 31 Minutes To Take Off and needless to say it was a hit. From that Gigamesh has gained a ton of fame in the indie dance world and continues to grow. This remix of Alexander Holland’s City Full Of Lights is no exception, in fact it is pure gold. Giving a soft 80’s electro vibe to this amazing indie song just gives it a funky out look that can be enjoyed all the time. If you like what you hear, be sure to drop Gigamesh a line and show some support on his Facebook and Soundcloud.

Next is an amazingly complex artist, Claire Boucher, that goes by the name of Grimes. Mixing and matching styles creates flexibility in what she can produce and that makes her infinitely more intriguing. Her soft rhythmic voice mixed with indie dance is nothing short of amazing. It is so elegantly beautiful, yet so simple. That is why I had to share this with you. Still up and coming she needs your support, so show it on her Facebook!

“There is a powerful harmony in Grimes. It is a project which is both musical and visual, embodying the arts of 2D, performance, dance, video and sound. Claire Boucher weaves these together to a strong rhythmic effect, ‘the marriage between the voice of a human and the heartbeat of a machine.'” – Bullett Magazine

After seeing SBTRKT live at the Fox Theater I couldn’t help myself but to post about them because quite frankly that was one of the best concerts of the year so far.  They are a solid two man group with a musical background.  The singer Aaron Jerome sings and their drummer has some damn good chops, all the while they mix samples in between singing and playing.  So to call them multifaceted is an understatement.  The first song I have for you is a very sensual song and would recommend you grab your partner for this song.

The second song I have for you features Sampha on vocals and is perfect for when your night is winding down after a great night of partying.  So please enjoy.

The final song from SBTRKT is called Pharaohs and features Roses Gabor on vocals.  This is a little more upbeat but still manages to be smooth and chill in true SBTRKT style.
