Couleurs

As previously mentioned, M83 has a new album coming out later in the year. The first track has dropped and has intensified my interest in the album.

M83 - Couleurs

This song is simply epic. There is so much going on, from the erie synth that opens the track, lasting throughout the entire song, to the cryptic voices lining the final two minutes of the song. Lush keyboards clash with striking guitar chords to create an amplified masterpiece. Couleurs is different from past M83 songs in that it feels a bit more dancey. The drumbeat consist of a spastic build up not seen in previous M83 songs. I would not be surprised to see some knockout dance floor remixes done of this song. It has potential to be a real dance floor classic.

Couleurs is out now featuring a Jori Hukkonnen Remix, get it on iTunes.

Djedjotronic - Ghetto Girl

I was surprised to find out Djedjotronic is from France and that they share close ties with the Ed Banger crew. They aren't on a major label, they don't sound much like Ed Banger artists. They sound like emulators of the French Touch sound, not producers. It's still great music and this is one of my favorite songs by Djedjotronic. Like Couleurs, the first 2/3's of the track is instrumental, however vocals appear at the end. Unlike Couleurs these vocals can be deciphered, which can be considered good.

Surprisingly, Djedjotronic is on iTunes, be sure to download their EP.

Get Shakes - Disneyland (Part 1)

Get Shakes reminds me a lot of The Rapture, before they were on a major label. Listen to this song and you too will hear the similarities. The voice is totally different but the manner in which the bass and guitars are utilized are very similar. This is the Dance-Punk of 2004 and 05 reborn in 2008, and it couldn't of sounded better. Be sure to listen to Sister Self Doubt, it so is the reincarnation of Sister Savior, they even share the same first word. Was this intentionally done? Whatever, it does not matter, both bands are great!

Elroy and Tom Piper - Point'N'Clap (Matty Martinez Mix)

And finally, I'll leave you with some down and dirty electro! I've been listening to this jam for quite awhile now and still love it. It's an essential electro tune remixed by Matty Martinez. I have no clue who he is but this remix is brilliant and the vocals done by Gabrielle Abella are top notch.

That's all for now.
