fresh: Robyn 'Hang With Me' video & mp3 (album version)

Robyn is my favorite pop star, and I cannot say that enough. She has this ability to take control of a song and make it completely hers, while surrounding her given talent with the best producers in the world who know how to enhance it. It's quite astounding. Her next release, in the series of three EP's, is Body Talk Pt. 2. The first single, Hang With Me, is more addictive than heroin-laced cocoa pebbles, and one of the better written songs I've heard in years from a pop star. Enjoy the video and mp3. Download HERE.

Hang With Me - Robyn

essentials: discobitch & deadmau5

Here are two filthy dance tracks (by Discobitch & Deadmau5) that get me rolling. They are essentials for any party, any dance-heavy night out, anything that requires the most visceral of experiences... except for massages... very bad for massages unless it has an extremely happy ending. On a sidenote, I am so excited to see Deadmau5 on Thursday at 930 Club! It will be the perfect warmup and inspiration for Saturday's HURRICANE SHIFT!

Hi Friend - Deadmau5

remix monday : robyn none of dem

Today in Remix Monday land, we travel once again to the Robynhood. None of Dem has been tearing up my iTunes for a while. It's a pretty amazing track in its own right (look up previous entries to listen/download), but these two remixes hold their own, I must say. One of them, the Criminals remix) was used in my TeaserMix. Check'em:

Hurricane SHIFTeaserMix

Every TeaserMix takes its own shape. This month I definitely was in a very pop-laden, rave-heavy mood. I wanted a build-and-explode factor, and I think I succeeded. Being a Hurricane theme, I wanted it to start big and destructive and finish with a bit of carefree serenity... you know, minus all the deaths and superdome rapings. Now, doesn't that sound AWESOME!.. and the mix does too! I hope you dig it. If not, f*ck you! JayKayJayKay.

Here are three new tracks to get you ready for the weekend. First we have Dragonette doing their best impression of Le Tigre. Next, we have Cut Copy returning from disco hell and dwelling in indie pop-dom. And, lastly we have Kele, my favorite black gay vocalist of Bloc Party, proving to us that RAC really can go toe-to-toe with any remixologists out there. I'm really excited for all these tracks. Download away...

just what i needed

essentials: martin solveig w/ dragonette

In 2009, French DJ/Producer Martin Solveig teamed up with Dragonette to produce one of the best tracks of the year, "Boys & Girls," and in 2010 they are at it again with a new song called "Hello." The latter has been dominating my playlist over the last couple weeks, and now it's time to do so to yours.

remix monday : designer drugs pop overdose

I love Designer Drugs, as many of you know, and to celebrate their glorious return to Washington, DC this weekend (Saturday the 17th at U-Hall), here are a couple more of my favorite remixes by them! I chose the three most pop-heavy of their remixes for this... but that doesn't mean that DD's signature aggression is not splattered all over them. I hope you start to love them as much as I do. I'll see you on the dancefloor Saturday! Enjoy!

I'll Be Lovin U Long Time (Designer Drugs remix) - Mariah Carey
