The sickness, Happy Hump Day, & The Twelves
So everyone in my life is sick right now which is a bummer. I was fortunate enough to have been sick last week and had gotten over it with a quickness which in return, be immune to it all. I hope this post makes you all feel better! Happy Hump Day.
I can’t get enough of these Brazilian dudes. I stumbled upon them about a year and half ago. They got popular shortly before I came across them by their remix that they did of Boyz by MIA. Soon after that, people and the blog world started noticing them for their remixes. Big names: Asobi Seksu, Erland Oye, Metric, La Roux, New Young Pony Club….started noticing them as well and started paying them to remix their songs. Their remixes are loved and adored because of their unique style. They leave the vocals and most of the original song intact but adds their own beat bumping, disco booty shaking, Daft Punk feel to it. They take tracks that you might not think is danceable, Fleet Foxes- White Winter Hymnal (prime example), and make it to a steady head-bopping, feet shuffler! Their original tracks: Works for Me, I Feel Fine, and When You Talk are songs that preview for what’s to come on their debut album. These guys are definitely on my radar.
These tracks I have collected over the year and half that I have been listening to them. I’m pretty sure these are all of them. Please send some my way if I’m missing any. Download their most recent full hour mix, The Twelfth Hour, from the Halloween post. Enjoy! Happy listening.
