"Our culture functions doubly as a form of surveillance, not just by those who govern us, but also by all who participate in it. For us, every act of publicity, representation, and sharing is an irreversible act of fashioning the political self, which is perhaps part of why we are all so anxious."

RIP 2016 Retrospective Dance Mix: David Bowie, George Michael Prince and More

I didn’t want to celebrate 2016, nor was I excited to ring in 2017. The future looks bleak, and we lost so many greats. Especially the loss of David Bowie, which hit me harder than any celebrity death ever has, or likely ever will. So this year, instead of bringing you the best dance music of 2016, I’m offering up a retrospective dance mix comprised of musicians who died in 2016. Honestly, I…

Doesn’t LaeCharles make the best faces? I couldn’t resist making a gif or two of his dancing. 😼 From the video shoot for Super Geek, a new tune from Learn HTML With Song.

I love Angel Haze. She is the fiercest thing in rap right now. There’s been all the hype lately about Azealia Banks, but while “212” is one of the freshest things to hit hip-hop in a while, Banks lacks the consistence in quality you get from Angel Haze. 

Not that there’s any reason to compare them, other than: if you like “212” check this track out…or “A Tribe Called Red” or “New York” or any of her songs, because she gets it DONE.

Not only that, she can sing too. 

Check out this acoustic version of the same song, Battle Cry.

MK is back with his trademark bass heavy beats, perfect for the heavy rhymes of Angel Haze

Washington, D.C. producer Alex Young first stormed on to my radar last year with his brilliant house remix of The Neighbourhood’s Sweater Weather, a flip which he named SWTRWTHR. Today, he offers up a remix of Aussie synthpop band Miami Horror’s Real Slow, giving the jam some wonderful summer vibes and arresting, luminous synths. Alex Young is currently working on his debut EP, and I’m eager to hear it. For now, let’s revisit SWTRWTHR again below, because I’m still stuck on that ish. Amazing.

I love that crazy rest with the cheer around 4:00. Even the fade out is sexy and subtle.

Alright, so we’ve gone through our fair share of remixes of Lana Del Rey’s ubiquitous, well loved single West Coast, off her upcoming album Ultraviolence. They’ve all been stellar, giving us all kinds of takes on the beautiful tune. We’ve heard remixes by Dan Auerbach himself (The Black Keys), GRADES, Hippie Sabotage, and even the elusive Four Tet. Add to the list of excellent remixes this new one by Vancover/Los Angeles (hey, WEST COAST!) producer STINT, aka Ajay Bhattacharyya. He gives West Coast a laid back, carefree atmosphere fleshed out with terrific horns and charismatic whistles. How many more amazing remixes are we going to hear of West Coast? I don’t know, nor would I mind if they keep coming out of the woodwork, since they’re all sounding so dang good.

Oh those whistles. So classy, like Mr Rogers is on back up.

This week on NPR’s First Listen you can preview the whole new Nikki Nack album from tUnE-yArDs.

This is my second-favorite remix of Lorde’s big teen hit “Royals”. My top pick will be on the forthcoming Best Indie Dance Tracks of 2031 list.

Wild Boyz is still offering a free download of this track, and you don’t even have to like their Facebook to get it. Very 2006, Wild Boyz!…and I mean that as a compliment.

Just found out from earmilk.com that Wild Boyz! are based out of San Francisco. W00t.
