Club Song of the Day // Infinity Ink - Infinity

Party season is officially over in Ibiza and with it I've decided to recap some of my favourite songs that kept the clubs pumping all summer. I'm going to pick two this year -- one I will post today and the other tomorrow.

Here is my second favourite track of the summer, a wildly dark and different song from UK DJs Infinity Ink, a song that channels a few quirks of '90s house tracks (random rappper for 15 seconds, anyone?), but maintains the attitude of a sexy house track that works best at 4 a.m.

 

Gorburger launches on The Warner Sound with Tegan and Sara

The Warner Sound, the online media division of Warner Music, launched a wildly unusual YouTube series called Gorburger today. It's a platform for artists signed on the Warner labels, but also serves as an insanely weird mix between My Pet Monster, MTV and Japanese television.

The first episode is a wildly awkward five minutes with Tegan and Sara.

Song of the Day // Hot Chip - Night and Day

Somehow I forgot to post this sizzling electronic track from Hot Chip, but for most of you, I'm sure the band isn't a revelation, since they've been on the scene for a good decade, with such "on-the-edge-of-mainstream" songs as Over and Over.

Night and Day is only one of the many amazing songs on their latest album, In Our Hands, which hit stores last month. The video is wild and nonsensical, but I decided that it distracts too much from the structure and feel of the song. So here it is in its most basic, audio form.
 

 

 

Song of the Day // Tristan Pettyman - My Oh My

A couple months ago I posted a video of Tristan Prettyman singing a song from her upcoming album called Marry You. It was a gut wrenching performance that a lot of you responded to strongly.

Well, that track isn't the first single (no surprise) and the album isn't out yet -- but the upbeat first single is, and its very summery and catchy. Here is My Oh My -- it's a little bit country a little bit pop'n'roll. Hope it perks up your day.

 

 

Song of the Day // Elton John vs Pnau - Sad

If you believe the story, Elton John stumbled across Pnau's music back in 2008 and fell in love with the sounds of the Australian electronic producers. He ultimately signed them to his label, and helped pave the way for a ...

side-project from one of the two members, called Empire of the Sun.

After a world tour with Empire, the producers settled down with John to create their latest album, as well as another album for John that took samples of his mostly lesser known songs and turned them into new tracks. The result is Good Morning to the Night, a project that has shot up the UK charts this week and is likely to take the #1 spot.

Sad is the first single, and the music video is an absolute visual treat.
