“Pyramids” is ruling my world right now. Stream and download below.

Electro-Disco Darlings AVAN LAVA Share Free “Flex Fantasy” EP

Posted on May 23, 2012 by Mia

Um, yes. The first two tracks are like Prince and Scissor Sisters had a baby with Cathy Dennis. Can you really ask for more on a hump day? I don’t think so. Thank you AVAN LAVA – I will be busting these jams out during Pride – which I can’t believe is only a few weeks away!

Hump Day Mix Tape ft. Dummy Mag Mix 111, Midnight Magic & More Ass Shakers

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Mia

My heart is still recovering from not being at South by Southwest. In all seriousness I think I sounded like an air-horn that replaced the annoying honking sound with the even more annoying Snookie, “Waaaah”.

Instead of crying about it (any more), I distracted myself by finding music to share with you.

Let’s start out with this tasty Holy Ghost remix of Midnight Magic’s track “Drop Me A Line”

Dummy Mag’s Mix from Brenmar is a delight and holy shit – it even has Dru Hill‘s “How Deep Is Your Love” which was my dance floor grinding jam back in college.

Rye Rye will be releasing a proper album soon and a set of remixes for the single “Boom Boom” has made its way to the net. So far, this is my favorite of the batch:

Friday Mix Tape: Random Greatness from The Mynabirds to WhoMadeWho

Posted on March 9, 2012 by Mia

Apologies for not writing too much this week – I’ve started another freelance job to add to my others, I’m starting another project for anyone who reads/listens to anything of mine and will have more exciting, and incredibly random, news for you soon.

The theme for me this week has been: Random. So, the mix of music below should be considered rather random, but still great.

Shout Out Out Out – Never The Same Way Twice

The Mynabirds – Let the Record Go

The Mynabirds – Numbers Don’t Lie

The Maccabees – Feel To Follow (via ohmyrock)

Radiation City – Eye of Yours (from their upcoming Cool Nightmare EP)

WhoMadeWho – Inside World which I would describe as ear sex between Hercules + Love Affair, Pet Shop Boys & Wild Beasts

Old Monk – Sacred Birds

Slow Country – Yes You Have

Redgrave is a band to get really excited about because they’re from Chicago and, from what I’m hearing so far, have that great hot & ugly sex-rock vibe

This song has my teenage angst written all over it. When I listen to it I feel like I’m Willow from Buffy watching an episode of Buffy.

Whispertown “Open the Other Eye” from her March 20th EP release Parralel

Friday Afternoon Mix Tape ft: Hollis Brown, Emily Wells, Saint Saviour & More

Posted on March 2, 2012 by Mia

For your consideration, we’ve got tracks to stream and download and an entire hour-long mixtape to get you started this weekend.

Emily Wells “Passenger” (Kid Koala Remix)

Hollis Brown’s track, “Spoonful” is ridiculously good. Makes me want to drink some bourbon and get my feet stomping. Their Nothing & The Famous No One EP Drops April 3
