Oh. My. God. How have I never taken the time to listen to Swedish House Mafia? Shame on me! I’m loving the new Marc Ustari remix of One.Axwell + Sebastian Ingrosso come together, forming a dance force to be reckoned with. I’m totally dancing + sweating in my chair right now. - Matt
GRUM certainly has a knack for making hilarious videos! First we got the food porn inspired Can’t Shake The Feeling and now he’s back with this homo-erotic pornstache fest for Through The Night. This was not quite what I thought he had in mind when he talked with us about making driving music! (interview coming later this week) This video had me dying from scene one, spend a few minutes with these bumbling idiots this afternoon it will brighten your day!
Isn’t that picture the cutest ever? haha. A few nights ago the Scissor Sisters played a show in Melbourne and Kylie joined them on stage for Any Which Way, as she did at Glastonbury, and also for an encore for country style version of All The Lovers. I can’t get enough of this pairing -- it really is a match made in heaven! I’m very pleased to see that these live collaborations are a recurring event… and yes I’m crossing my fingers and toes that Ms.Minogue makes an appearance at the Scissor Sisters show here in NYC next month! Wouldn’t that be a dream New Yorkers?
One of the most exciting new artists to emerge this year is 21 year old Florrie from the U.K. We’ve posted lots about about her here on Hard Candy and loved every track that she’s given away on her site! So we figured it was time we had a little chat with her to find out more about the girl behind these electro-pop goodies!
In our interview Florrie talks about the experience of working with production powerhouse Xenomania (who are responsible for plenty of your favorite pop tracks from the likes of Kylie Minogue, Girls Aloud, Pet Shop Boys and many more), teaming up with Fred Falke, what she’s been listening too, what she thinks of the all the love shes been receiving from the blogosphere and much more. I cannot wait to hear more from Florrie (especially the Florrie Plus One track shhh!)
I’m never really dissapointed in anything that Goldfrapp releases. All of their packaging, videos + tour performances have such a cohesive vibe – it really makes a difference!
The new single from Head First has been announced as Believer. I would have picked I Wanna Life, but that’s just me! Remixes by Little Loud, Vince Clarke, Subway and Joris Voorn are coming their way!
Check out the Davide Rossi Interpretation (basically an acoustic/orchestral mix) below! - Matt
