POPSHOP029: JAKWOB + LITTLE DAYLIGHT

As summertime radness reaches its festive climax in the coming months, we're keeping the Popshop glory rolling right on through the dog days of August. Coming in hot and humid August 1st, we have the live debut of local new kids on the block ASTR, as well as the much-anticipated return of Australia's Strange Talk to the Neon Gold stage in the main support slot. Then it's a knockout one-two punch of co-headliners, as rising superstars Little Daylight launch their debut Tunnel Vision EP (out August 6th) in the live headline slot, before UK club maestro Jakwob shuts things down as our DJ headliner. It's going down on Thursday August 1st at our Santos Party Home, with $10 advance tickets now available HERE. Don't delay though, as this one's shaping up to be a Popshop for the ages and you're not gonna want to miss out.

YOUR FAVORITE SUPERHERO.

Until The Ribbon Breaks first shattered our senses with debut single "Pressure" earlier this year, and now he's back with another backbreaking showstopper in the form of future hit, "2025". With a stark cinematic intro like the beginnings of an epic war, UTRB's crusade for truth and pop glory affords him a flowing cape and grim weaponized beats. All soul-soothing vocals and warped electronics, its arrival is accompanied by yet another homemade video for the ages, as The Ribbon further establishes himself as one of the most exciting new acts to emerge this year.

POPSHOP WEST 011: NIGHT TERRORS OF 1927

Last week's Popshop West with Kate Boy and Lovelife was one for the ages, and we've got another power bill lined up for you next month featuring an entirely homegrown cast of LA's finest new acts. Opening things up, we have support from local upstarts Dead Times alongside pop noir newcomer Jaymes Young, both making their respective LA live debuts. Then in the headline slot, we've got alt-radio soothsayers Night Terrors of 1927 keeping you up late into the night. It's all going down Thursday, July 25th, at the Echo with $8 advance tix now available HERE.

THE WORLD IS IN YOUR PALM.

If you couldn't tell, we're getting deep into Smallpools this summer. The LA outfit has been soundtracking our sunshine in a major way these past few weeks, and now Charli XCX and Twin Idol have come together to remix their gatecrashing debut single "Dreaming," giving the original a spaced-out intergalactic makeover. Smallpools play their debut live show with us on Popshop Brooklyn next month, before heading out on the road with San Cisco on their debut tour. Trust us, you're gonna want to keep a CLOSE eye on this lot.

CLAP YOUR HANDS AND SHOUT.

Swedish princes The Royal Concept are back. Their latest single, "On Our Way," is a true return to form, a swirling contagious summer-sonic epidemic, Fun-sized singalong chorus and all. It's a literal sync goldmine and we're all getting spoiled by its riches.

BURN BRIGHT THROUGH THE UNIVERSE.

Between their first two singles and ridiculous remix track record, Little Daylight is yet to make a misstep in the brief amount of time they've shared with us here on earth. Now the Brooklyn trio is back with their shiny new single, "Glitter & Gold", an exquisite solar-powered daydream showcasing the vocal dexterity of The Naked & Famous and the cage-rattling jungle beats of Kate Boy.

WE ARE CREATURES FROM THE WIND.

Our fondness for Sweden's native brand of frosted pop is well documented, and today we're pleased to introduce you to their latest offering, Sirena. Street name Elsa Carmina, the Barcelona-born singer ushers in a tidal wave of exotic heat on debut single "Love Is Not". As undulating synths ring their way around your finger, her lovelorn voice resonates like the smoking pixie fireball of Lykke Li with the rapturous homespun afterlife of Ms Mr. There's no expiration date on this one, but you're gonna wanna get familiar with Sirena as soon as possible.

CALL ME THE DOCTOR.

We first introduced you to New York's own ASTR a few months ago and now we're back with a brand new remix of debut single, "Operate," by local DJ duo The Chainsmokers. After lighting up remixes for Say Lou Lou and Little Daylight in recent weeks, it comes as no surprise that their latest doesn't stop burning either. The Smokers drop the original in a platinum vat of homegrown house, and it grows into a massive glimmering asteroid of a dance party anthem hurtling toward you. When it hits, it destroys.
