American (not canadian) Dream

I don't wanna be any less of a track sniffer then my dear colleague. To people who know me it wont come as a surprise that I love almost anything that Robyn is involved in. We did a post on the stuff she's done over at cherrytree records just last week. Now I found a collaboration with a, to me at least, unknown artist named Troy This. The song is called American Dream (Happy Song) and it just keeps spinning around in my head. It's totally awesome. It's more dancy than the Canada-loving stuff A posted earlier. Ohh! Crapp... offers a free download of the song here. If you do wanna preview it before downloading you can listen to it here at HypeMachine.

Solidarity, Sister volume 2

Well we are on a roll here with all the cherrytree stuf so this would probably be a good idea to continue. If you check out the artists page on their website (link) you will find an amazing artist called Feist. One of her absolutely best songs is My Moon, My Man. You can listen to that and all of her albums at her myspace-page (link) so like Fever Ray she gets major solidarity points. Sweetness.
Here is the video for My Moon My Man which is one of those videos that just make you smile.


But there is more. Because we did not discover Feist through Myspace or Cherrytree even if that would be logical in our case. But Some time ago an extremely talented DJ named Alex or more famously known as Boys Noize featured a track on his album Oi Oi Oi that caught almost everyones attention. It was his remix of this track. double the length and maximize the Donk and add some of Alex's trademark crispyness. Masterpeice. Sorry about the video. We know it's just a picture.


And speaking of Solidarity if you check out the Boys Noize MySpace-page you will see that you legally can stream both Oi Oi Oi and Oi Oi Oi remixed Total Solidarity.

When it was good

Today we both learned something. Aparantly Flipsyde isn't just one dude but a full group. Most of you remember the song Happy Birthday which featured a sample from the ever so awesome pseudo-lesbians from Russia called t.A.T.u. What mad that song stick out was the thing with a black rapper doing a song about abortion.
But Now they have released a new track called When it was good. This track is unbelievable. V can't really put his finger on what it is but it is on his most played list for today. The video looks good as well.


Now you might wonder how we found this specific track. Who we should thank. Of course it's our friends over @Cherrytree Records. Flipsyde belongs to them. :)

And if you like the song up there in the video. Buy it, don't download. and the entire single is only $0.99 so don't be cheap, support the artists you like. (Single on iTunes)

The Cherrytree Sessions

The awesome label Cherrytree records is, according to us, releasing some of the most amazing tracks you can possibly find. But right now we're gonna focus on two hot(in more than one sense of the word) ladies, who are extremely musical and talented but hide behind the technology. You can find all the musig in this post for download if you go to the iTunes Music Store and search for 'Cherrytree Sessions'. Yes they cost 5 bucks all togeter but they're dynamite so don't be a cheap S.O.B.

First up is Lady Gaga who basically forced her way into the humming-sphere of everyone last year with her hit song Just dance. Don't get this wrong, it was and still is extremely club and iPod-worthy, but it did not show off her best side. Her absolutely best side comes out when she's behind a piano. Check it out:

If you wanna see her perform the whole tracks you can do so at Cherrytree Records website:
Just Dance
Pokerface <---------- Gotta have it


The second bunch of talent you have here is Robyn, the main thing why Sweden is not deported from Earth. She started out her career with a lot of RnB-ish sounds, then moved into more mainstream pop-stuff and created tracks like Underneath the Heart and Psycho which will forever be etched into our Swedish contributor's heart. Then Robyn went her own way, and that meant towards electro and she has never been hotter. Her versatility and talent is shown when she does stripped down acoustic versions of the songs that always seem to invade our sets when we play. Check this out:

Same thing here, if you want to see her perform the whole tracks you can do so at Cherrytree Records website:
Be Mine
With Every Heartbeat
Bum Like You <--------- Total sweetness

That's it. We know it was long but who cares when such awesomeness(as Barney would say) is on display?
