Making their debut into the electronic foray last year, the Irish dub-pop duo Young Wonder sound like something of a cross between Purity Ring, Gold Panda and Little Dragon. Stream their standout track “Orange” below.

Ellie Goulding – How Long Will I Love You (EMBRZ Remix)
Jack Casey — or EMBRZ as he is known — is a young producer out of Ireland who demonstrates his potential on this Cyril Hahn-esque arrangement of Ellie Goulding‘s “How Love Will I Love You.” While the original is a bit of a sleeper (sorry, Ellie!), the downtempo adaptation is a staggering and affective ballad.
Baio – Sunburn Modern
There’s nothing I like more than the tropical goodness of a balearic tune, and this track by Vampire Weekend’s bassist Chris Baio fits the bill. The Greco-Roman release “Sunburn Modern” can be found on his 2012 EP Sunburn, the vibe of which Baio has described as “hopeful melancholy.” See if you agree by streaming the beat below.
TCTS – Over
Rising Manchester DJ/producer Sam O’Neill, or TCTS as he calls himself has just released a new EP These Heights via Greco-Roman. The UK label, whose roster of artists includes the likes of Disclosure, TEED, and co-founder Joe Goddard, is no insignificant backing in a rapidly flourishing world of future garage. Feel free to play the following track off the EP “over and over.”

BANKS – Change (The Chainsmokers Hot & Steamy Edit)
Hot off the press is this ‘steamy’ new edit of BANKS’ track “Change” by The Chainsmokers. I can’t get enough of BANKS lately so it’s nice to hear another take on the track from the the NY-based producers. Pick up a FREE download by liking their page and check out the BANKS original below.

Tom Odell – Another Love (Zwette Edit)
German house producer Zwette has reworked a track by Tom Odell, the sensitive singer-songwriter and pianist from the UK who won Critics Choice at the Brit Awards earlier this year.
While the original, “Another Love,” can be found on Odell’s debut studio album Long Way Down, take a listen to this emotive edit that serves as the perfect blend between electronica and wistful piano-driven pop.
Throwback Thursday: LCD Soundsystem
Inspired by the MS MR cover of LCD Soundsystem‘s “Dance Yrself Clean” at Black Cat a couple weeks ago, for this Throwback Thursday edition I thought I’d post one or two or four tracks of the now-defunct group.
Although the legendary NY-based group technically played their last concert in Madison Square Garden in 2011, frontman James Murphy is currently on tour doing his thing solo. He’s playing a DJ set at 930 Club Friday night, so in anticipation of the show, stream the tracks below and if you’re in the area go get your dance on tomorrow.
What’s your favorite LCDSS track? I’d love to know!
Anna Kendrick – Cups (Jellosea Remix)
Canadian producer Jellosea has pulled a Cyril Hahn-like transformation on the hit song “Cups,” sung by Anna Kendrick in the film Pitch Perfect. While the original is a low-cal catchy pop tune, Jellosea masterfully renders it into a layered and meaningful arrangement.
Bostro Pesopeo – Cheer Up
It may be Sunday, but there’s no reason to feel down when you have Bostro Pesopeo’s upbeat nu-disco track to lift you up. The German producer — known as Florian Peter in real life — just released his second EP “Cheer Up” via Permanent Vacation.
