MAKE IT WORK.

Body Language are some of our favorite people in the world, so we're thrilled to see everything blowing up for them at the moment. Since we first wrote about them last year, their fantastic debut Speaks EP has dropped on Moodgadget, they've impressed NYC crowds supporting La Roux and locked in an upcoming tour with Zero 7. Suffice it to say, things are going pretty damn well. With that, we're thrilled to premier the brilliant Yes Giantess remix of EP standout "Work This City", which comes off like a brilliant italo-disco update of "Star Guitar", all urban atmospherics and late night grooves.

RIDE OR DIE.


Hidden gems were few and far between at this year's CMJ, but D. Gookin provided a pleasant surprise Friday night at Public Assembly. The jam dropping alias of percussionist Mike Birnbaum, D. Gookin is all about funked out electro beats and glossy production flourishes over which Birnbaum lays down live vocals and drums. Quietly released on Moodgadget last week, the Hartford export's When You're Lonely Everybody's A Celebrity EP is one of the fresher debuts of the year and the live show doesn't disappoint. "Glad I Met You" is its most triumphant track, a sexy, slow burning dance cut constructed from candy coated synths and an unplaceable vocal sample that's every bit as eerily addicting as the loop in "Sleepyhead". Listen to this on the street and it's hard not to feel like the hottest shit on the block. Strutting has never been so inevitable.
