Thursday Stumble Vol .2

The time has come for the second edition of the Thursday Stumble, a short and sweet selection of tracks that I like to post on a Thursday (for some reason). This week's selection features a mixture of mellow groovy tracks with a number of heavy dangerous ones, with genres spanning from nu-disco to jackin house to tech to bass to indietronica. Let's see what's on the menu:

Cause & Affect - The Tickle

Some dank heavy bass transforming into funky synths and back again for a dirty rave

Boys Noize - Starwin (download in player)

A new one from Boys Noize, a feel-good nu-disco number with a bit of acid house thrown in for taste

Breach - Jack (Download link)

A dark bassy tech number with vocals from a woman who really wants to jack, whatever that means

Cause & Affect - Pushy Pushy (Download link)

Another much older track from Cause & Affect, disco house at it's grooviest

Bot - One Hour

A scary yet bouncy tech number from one half of the now disbanded Crookers

Marcus Marr - The Music (Download link)

A very mellow and feel-good Daft Punky nu-disco type track found by the Tozz-Man

Madame - Realness (Download link)

Probably the heaviest track on this list, proceed with caution and hide the children from this tech house terror

Yacht - Second Summer (RAC Remix) (Download link)

A cool melancholic indietronic remix from remix-king RAC, also courtesy of Tozz

Hope you enjoy this strange eclectic mix of the tasty tracks that I've stumbled upon throughout my journeys!

Indie-velopments

So there are exciting things happening in 2013 for some of mine (and your) favourite and biggest Indie acts around. Here is what we know thus far:

After 10 years The Postal Service have announced that they will reunite and tour the US for a bit starting off at the ultimate music festival in the world, Coachella. They have also re-issued a re-release version of their debut (and only) smash album Give Up. All this activity and one can only speculate (and hope) that perhaps some new music is on the way!

French Indie rock superstars Phoenix have released the album artwork to their upcoming 2013 album Bankrupt! Set for release on the 23rd of April. It is a picture of a peach.

 

My enthusiasm for the music however is far greater than that for the album artwork as this is their first new offering since 2009's amazing Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. The tracklist has also been released.

 

Super excited for this album of French indie amazingness! Below is a brand new lyric video for the first single off the album called Entertainment! Awesome!

 

Vampire Weekend have released the release date, album artwork, tracklist and tour dates for their new album Modern Vampires of The City. The 12 track album is set for release on May the 7th and I am quite a fan of the cover too. No singles as of yet but I'm expecting good things!


So those are a couple of things to definitely look forward to in 2013! In the meantime, listen to this brand new Two Door Cinema remix. Super remix magicians RAC have just released their rendition of 2DCC's song Next Year off their super sexy smooth and soulful 2012 album Beacon. If this remix is anywhere near as good as RAC's remix of Something Good Can Happen then we definitely have a winner here! Stay tuned for more indie-velopments!
