Major Lazer : Pon De Floor

Pon De Floor is hands down one of the catchiest beats of 2009. It is neither a surprise to see your friends blast this song in the car to get them into party mood en route to the club; nor is it a surprise to see a club dancefloor mood become sixty-nine times more pumped once the dj drops the needle on this particular record. Major Lazer released their album ‘Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do’ just this past summer, no doubt an album worth buying if you’re one to get excited over the works of Diplo, M.I.A., Santigold, Switch, Crookerz, and the likes. Be sure to check out the video for this track as well, it is definitely a comically creative visual pleasure [note: you are required to sign in to view it on YouTube as it is "inappropriate for some users"].

Pictureplane : Goth Star

Here’s a dark ‘n’ eerie, simultaneously infectious ‘n’ uplifting, Fleetwood Mac-sampling jam from Denver’s new electro heroes, Pictureplane. The song is “Goth Star,” from the group’s debut album ‘Dark Rift.’ It just goes to show how a few catchy loops and a sprinkling of Stevie Nicks is all you need to make a great song, like how just peanut butter and bacon make a great sammich.

Mum : We Have a Map of the Piano

Múm are an Icelandic pop band with euphoric, yet tumultuous leanings, mixing sound with music and vice versa. The group has taken many forms and shapes since it started in 1997 and rarely cease to surprise and confuse. The core of Mum consists of these two guys (pictured above), whose names I wont even bother trying to spell, just as you shouldn’t bother trying to pronounce them. You should however know about their music, which is well worth listening to. They havent put out a new album since 2007, but ‘We Have a Map of the Piano’ is one of my all time favorite songs.

Sick Remix by Metronomy : Love like Semtex … Enjoy

This Hot Chip video is awesome! The video for “Ready for the Floor”, a single from Hot Chip’s forthcoming Made in the Dark, is all about this duality. But the way they choose to express that is what really caught my attention. women painted in half black half color dancing against a black background makes them appear only half way. So simple, and so brilliant! But I have to say that with so much of my attention on color and color blocking lately the best part for me was when the women are standing on a rotating color wheel of an incredibly selected saturation of colors.
