Well, if you’re not Doin’ It right, then you are clearly doing it wrong. I’m sure most of you are familiar with the band Daft Punk…and their newest album Random Access Memories. R>A>M, for short, has made quite the splash in the EDM world with instant classics like album titled song, Random Access Memories, and of course Let’s Get Lucky featuring hip hop artist/producer Pharrell Williams.

This is a remix of one of the other instant classics on the album, Doin’ It Right is the name of the track, and it’s a great pace keeper, not to mention the classic Daft Punk electronic voice. This track we have here, is a remix of the track Doin’ It Right featuring Panda Bear. This is The Golden Pony Remix of the Daft Punk song, and they are indeed Doin’ It Right. The Golden Ponys have afros people, and they are serious about making discos.

That’s really all I can tell you about The Golden Pony. Besides that they’re from Brooklyn. Nice to see the Mets are off to a good start, and also it was nice NBA playoff run for the Nets. Maybe your city franchises suck, because they’re names fuggin rhyme. Gimme some Brooklyn Beavers and Brooklyn Cleavers if they’re going to fuggin rhyme.

Fantastic Remix by The Golden Pony either way…and this track by Daft Punk will remain to many their favorite. There just so happens to be zero FREE DOWNLOADS available, but I’d made you look. Oh, and Panda Bear…good job to you too Panda Bear. You’re “doing it right” too, being all extinct and shib…eating bamboo and just shibbin everydamnwhere. JK. Really though, Panda Bear is an “experimental musicisian” who paints a fuggin spot on his face to resemble a real Panda Bear. So, in essance, you’re shitting on real Panda Bears, Panda Bear. Get Your Ears Wet to this Remix of Doin’ It Right, by The Golden Pony, originally scored by Daft Punk.

If you can manage a spare second away from Daft Punk today, I highly recommend giving IS TROPICAL‘s latest release I’m Leaving and especially the airy track “Sun Sun“.

The track is a frolicy, breezy tune that will delight the ears of fans of lighthearted indie-rock. Lead singer Simon Milner‘s raspy, sage vocals are reminiscent of Spoon lead singer Britt Daniel’s. In fact, this whole song sounds like it’s from the same recipe book of Spoon’s classic “The Underdog”. “Sun Sun” has a bit more of a hippy-vibe to it. At a little past halftime, the track bursts out into an ode to the sun, sung by a chorus of flower children.

This jam is the least indie-tronic on an album that is already less electronically influenced than its predecessor Native To. I am always a huge proponent of bands expanding their sound outside of their comfort zone and “Sun Sun” is a perfect example of why.

The IS TROPICAL trio is completed with Gary Barber, and Dominica Apa all out of London. You can go grab their new album I’m leaving (courtesy of French label Kitsune Records) over at their website. Check out “Sun Sun” below and stream the whole album below that.

If you are looking to get in on the ground floor of a band that’s going to be huge soon, look no further than LA based, Smallpools. The numbers don’t lie. Their only song thus far, “Dreaming”, has 86k+ plays on Soundcloud in five short days in existence. Normally I am not one to read into “topping hype.m” or someone who is “BLOWING up Souncloud” too much, but this is downright ridiculous. Listening to the track it is easy to understand this phenomena.

“Dreaming” is a sugary anthem that is sure to dominate every speaker this summer. This track is a GIGANTIC whirlwind of all things that are great about pop music. Soaring “oohs and aahs”, bright, punchy synths and an instantly memorable chorus make this a shining example of what pop in 2013 looks like. One could go insane trying to debate if they are a “dance-ier version of Passion Pit” or a “sunnier Foster the People” or whatever meaningless comparison that can be mustered up. But that would completely defeat the purpose of it all.

Some songs and artists are meant to be analyzed for some kind of deeper meaning or message. This is not one of those songs. “Dreaming” is best absorbed without a care in the world. To spend too much time thinking about this song would be like looking at the nutrition facts on the back of a bag of Sour Patch kids. I am just now realizing that by using this circular logic to come to this conclusion I have effectively ruined the song for myself, but there is still time for the rest of you. So quick, go DOWNLOAD this song below and throw it on at your next pool party or summertime drive because if you don’t, someone else will.

I challenge you to name a band that seems to have more fun than Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. The Detroit duo has a knack for crafting pop songs that are as genuine as they are catchy. Like any band worth their salt, DEJJ absolutely brings it in their live show. In a music world that tends to take itself a bit seriously, it is incredibly refreshing to see a band throw all expectations out the window and do whatever they damn well please. Whether they are rocking glow-in-the-dark suits, dancing in the crowd on just their second song, playing in front of  a trippy 10 foot orb TV screen, using a telephone as a mic, or covering 90′s hip hop songs, DEJJ is always full of welcome surprises.

For those of you not quite familiar with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., think of a combination of Vampire Weekend and Passion Pit, but on mushrooms (yeah, it’s that awesome). The focal point of the band is Joshua Epstein & Daniel Zott who share vocals, each play guitar, bass, keyboard and a slew of other electronic instruments. Between songs the two humorously riff off each other with Stockton and Malone type chemistry.

Last night at the El Rey they played a mixture of their classics from It’s a Corporate World including “Morning Thought“, “Skeletons“, “Simple Thought“, “Vocal Chords” and ended the show with a blown-out version of “Nothing But Our Love“. The real surprise of the night came in the form of their new material. Look out for this one, folks. “Hiding” is an absolute anthem live. “If You Didn’t See Me” had the entire dance floor groovin’. The duo played a few unreleased tracks that are sure to be huge hits whenever their new album comes out.

There was a genuine smile on everyone’s faces as they flooded out of the El Rey into the streets of Los Angeles. Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr‘s lighthearted charisma had stolen the night. Technically, it wasn’t a perfectly played show. A few guitars got unplugged in the chaos, a few cues were missed, but none of that mattered. It was just another facet of their charm. DEJJ put on a show in every sense of the word, not just playing studio cuts of their previous material, but entertaining . “You should know by now/We’re just gonna keep on moving on/We’re just keep on/on the dancefloor” the duo unapologetically sings. Sounds about right.

Check out Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.‘s new video for “Dark Water” from their latest Patterns EP as well as a live video of them performing “War Zone” yesterday on KCRW . If you are in San Francisco, the circus is heading your way as I write this. Go check them out at The Independent tonight. They will be in Chicago next Friday as well for all you good Windy City citizens. Go out and support live music, you won’t regret it.

Well The Weeknd dropped another baby making ballad last night, and it’s called Kiss Land. Much like CandyLand, you’ll find yourself licking a lot of things that are questionably edible. The track was produced by Silkky Johnson, and marks the third or fourth new release from The Weeknd in 2013. In 2012, The Weeknd made sure everyone knew he was here to lay down them “get fugged” beats, and 2013 has steadily become no different.

Kiss Land, is one of two new releases from The Weeknd this week, the other is John Carpenter, which has far less to do with “pussy poppin” and centers more on the personal life of the rapper. Kiss Land falls in line with most of The Weeknd’s other song messages, exploiting sexual experiences, and multiple hip thrusts. Kiss Land is also nearly eight minutes long, so strap in, and put a rain coat on.

Kiss Land is also the name of The Weeknd’s fourth upcoming album, breaching a familiar subject of sexual expression and apetite. “Cause the only thing you’re taking, is your clothes off/ Go ‘head girl strip it down, shut your mouth, I just wanna hear your body talk”. If I could say that shit, without getting slapped upside my head I totally would, but for some reason The Weeknd says it better and pulls it off.

The other track released this week, John Carpenter, which will also be featured on his upcoming album later this year, tells more of the shy singer’s life and experiences outside of the bedroom. As for the rest of the album, you can be sure it will be packed full of sexual expletives to last a lifetime. There is a FREE DOWNLOAD of this track Kiss Land, and be sure to check out the full album once it drops later this year. We will have full coverage of the album when it drops, so you don’t want to miss out. Get Your Ears Wet!

Check out this newest remix from MS MR, of the MØ single called Pilgrim. The Eargazm was fortunate enough to see this bad bitch in concert, and boy howdy did she have my skin tingling. MØ, Karen Marie Ørsted, is a danish singer songwriter. “Pilgrim” her first official single has charted in the Tracklisten, the Danish Singles Chart, and she is signed to Sony Music. This is official video for the remix of Pilgrim.

MØ, whose name means roughly “unmarried girl” or “virgin” in Danish, has been compared to electro-pop vocalists such as Grimes, Purity Ring, and Twin Shadow. We were lucky when we saw MØ, she was opening up for the Swedish sensation CHVRCHES at The Echo theatre in LA, and the house was packed. The crowd, who assumably had come to see CHVRCHES, showed MØ serious love and gave her an amazing applause of energy when she gave one hell of a performance to start the night off. This remix of Pilgrim will have you soiling yourself.

MØ‘s style is an interesting one to say the least, she has a very eclectic array of influences, and her theatrics while performing makes her show and talent endearing to watch. I really wish I could say she was still in the states, but that is isn’t the case. She is in Brighton this Friday & Saturday, and then in Amsterdam on Sunday, so if you’re in the area….Thus far there aren’t anymore confirmed tour dates in the states for 2013, but be sure to keep those ears and eyes peeled for more of this genius. Pilgrim I say.

Also, if you have a second, check out her videos for her tracks. Trippy stuff yo. MØ recently signed with Chess Club Records/RCA Victor, who will be releasing “Waste Of Time” on July 7, a new single by MØ. There is also a video available for Waste Of Time, so be sure to check that little Diddy out. Get Your Ears Wet!

In this post apocalyptic music world we live in, where anyone can make music and get noticed, there are bound to be some terrible efforts. But on the flip side of that is MØ. The Danish singer/songwriter. 20 years ago, I doubt there is anyway that we would be fortunate enough to hear her “Electronic Soul, Street-vibe Indie Pop” tunes. Anyone saying that the internet and technology is ruining music just isn’t looking in the right places. It’s about time the cream rises to the top and the emergence of MØ may just be sign that there is hope yet for the internet artist.

It is a tall order to describe MØ‘s brand of music. Like Lana del Rey’s punkier, cooler sister, she lays down catchy-as-all-hell pop hooks over bumpin’ hip hop beats with elements of anthem rock that propel the track to the moon. “Waste of Time” is the latest in MØ‘s small collection of releases, which includes the groovy “Pilgrim“, and the dreamy “Glass“. One thing is certain, she is unique. Not many artists could cite Sonic Youth, Major Lazer, and Lykke Li as their influences and live up to it but this list actually makes sense for MØ.

Expect to hear more from her in the near future. She is currently touring through Europe this May. Cannot wait to see where she goes from there. Check out the video for her latest cut “Waste of Time” below as well her lethal track “Pilgrim” below.
