We’ve loved LIGHTS from day one, since we bought her first EP something like six years ago. There are few people on this planet who make electro-pop and synth pop as catchy as she does.

Hard to believe but Danny Darko has released over thirty Top 50 Releases on the Beatport Genre Charts. Equally impressive: his Youtube channel, launched in 2012, has received over 4 million views. We suppose that’s just what happens when you get kudos from DJ Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Pete Tong, Judge Jules,…

If you like M.I.A. then you’ll more than likely dig “Ping Pong,” this hot new tune by Mighty Mark featuring TT The Artist and Sushi Samson, “Ping Pong.” Lyrically, it certainly doesn’t break new ground; “Big booty, shake it, shake it.” And if you’re stick of twerking then you probably shouldn’t pay much attention to…

SPC ECO: THE ART OF POP The best artists are those who are constantly changing colors like a chameleon if not downright evolving and SPC ECO make a great leap forward with The Art of Pop, an album that ditches all of those raw, distorted guitars in favor of delicious, pristine pop beats, uplifting melodies…

Chances are you’ve just read the above subject line and thought, “Who the hell is Klangkarussell?” That’s what I thought when their publicist first contacted me about them. But their publicist usually sends me great stuff, so I checked out the Austrian duo’s album and immediately fell in love with it. Typically, when I encounter…

Tricky fans — like our editor — have a lot to celebrate today. Tricky has just unleashed a brand-new track called “Nicotine Love'” featuring Francesca Belmonte, which you can listen to above (obviously). And it’s quite the song… a throbbing, almost EDM-flavored track that should please club kids as well as his longtime trip-hop fans.…

Foster The People’s “Pseudologia Fantastica” could just as easily have been called “Psychedelic Fantastica” because, well, that’s precisely what it is. And it’s easily their best single since “Pumped Up Kicks.” It’s got such a groovy, ’60’s vibe about it, which is awesome, but we’re not sure if it’ll get on radio. But with such…

Betty Who is a 22-year old Australian born, New York-based pop songstress who’s been gradually introducing herself to the world with a fantastic EP here and an awesome EP there. Currently, she’s just finished a successful tour of the UK and she’s just released her UK debut, an EP she’s dubbed Worlds Apart. Since we’ve…

“You only see the stars when they fall like rain,” goes “(Netzwerk) Falls Like Rain” by Austrian dance act Klangkarussell. It’s a hypnotic number with punchy beats that throb away beautifully while glimmering synth radiates, giving off a penetrating warmth. It’s the sort of irresistible song that you hear once and then you’re compelled to…

Chairlift vocalist Caroline Polachek isn’t an artist you can pin-down. Just when you think you know her, she goes and does something different, like this, her debut solo album, released under the pseudonym Ramona Lisa, a purposeful parody of Mona Lisa. But she was using pseudonyms to play secret shows and debut new material before…

We love it when Mika sings in French. His songs are always bursting with joy and love and no language is better suited for expressing these things than French, which our editor has studied for years (and still isn’t halfway fluent in). And he can tell you that this song is about sex. “You and…

Rebecca & Fiona’s debut album, I Love You, Man, was as perfect as any pop debut could be. Astounding from start to finish, really. Compared to their new sophomore effort, Beauty is Pain, I Love You, Man is a bright and shiny sky with a double rainbow. And I suppose it always was, the ladies’…

Now this is a different sort of video from Banks. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. We love her and think she’s borderline flawless. We’re hoping she’ll have a big breakthrough single like Lorde did with “Royals” and get the larger audience that she deserves. But, secretly, sometimes we hope she doesn’t get any…
