Summer (or Winter) Love


The New Zealand autumn is always a good time of year... for music that is. Not for the fact it is slowly getting colder by the day, Sav is being replaced by Pinot, morning runs for the gym and benders for DVD's. The Northern Hemisphere Spring produces a shit load of great new music, all ready for the European / US summer, from Winter Music conference in Miami, SXSW in Austin to Coachella in the US desert, all the hot new bands, step up to the plate. Who is going to be the next Florence, the new Passion Pit and so on.
Well I'm going to pick a few now, that will be on everyones lips this summer.. err winter. You get the drift.

Two Door Cinema Club are a Northern Island three piece signed to french purveyors of cool Kitsune and there indie pop, has summer roadies written all over it.  The picks of their debut are the infectous Something good can work and What you know and the two re-works below are the pic of the remixes so far, and there are a few.





Flight Facilites hailing from Australia, have some how managed to bring back what a year or two ago I would have said was impossible through their Crave you. This French 90's house inspired track is already number 1 on beatport and will no doubt start a the revival of a softer dance sound. Giselle's vocals on are break taking and when you hear this, you are transported to late Friday night.

Miami Horror are well known to most Sydney and Melbourne kids, however the lads are just starting to make waves internationally. Their indie electro sound is much like Modular darlings Cut Copy and they will rip it up when here for Deep, hard and funky. Let's hope we see the full band back here soon, which just quietly, I know we will.

I don't know much about Thieves of Aon, yet. However, I do know that they are Melbourne based, and sound like a cross between fellow Victorians Miami Horror and the best live band in the world right now French pop stars Phoenix. That is pretty big call but if I'm right it's a winning formula, so my pick is you will here more from these guys, soon. Fact.
