WISH YOU WELL.

Just as you were starting to really miss The Chain Gang of 1974, he's back with "Miko", the barnstorming first taste of his next record. It opens innocently enough, like a waxing moonbeam of meditative pop, unfolding with the relaxed candor of early Bloc Party or Lightspeed Champion. But then things go haywire as it slides into hyperdrive, taking off on the pestilent wings of Isom Innis' studio magic as the Foster The People jack-of-all-tradesman turns in one of his finest production efforts yet. Buckle up and take flight below.

CAUGHT UP IN THE RODEO.

Things really couldn't be going better for Smallpools right now, as they continue their ascent up the alternative charts and traverse the nation supporting San Cisco on their debut tour. And today, we reunite with the LA four piece on another Neon Gold premiere, as we carefully pry the lid off the rather excellent remix package that's beginning to come together around "Dreaming".

First up on the remix rollout is LA newcomer Zookëper, who dims the lights and breaks out the lasers on a rare everything-and-the-kitchen-sink remix that actually works. The whole thing feels like getting your Smallpools served up animal style with an extra side of awesome, a genre-defying dancefloor behemoth that'll fuck your whole summer up. Seriously though, you've been warned. Smallpools return to LA to make their headline debut at Popshop West on September 4th, with tickets on sale Thursday and sure to sell out not long after that. Don't snooze. Don't lose.

MEET ME AT THE EDGE.

Dive In are the latest newcomers to the tropical heatwave of 2013's electronic pop landscape. Hailing from Glastonbury, there's little known about the four-piece (we think) beyond their hometown, but debut single "Let Go" speaks volumes for itself. Like a smooth island cocktail combining the glitchy fireworks of Delphic and balearic grooves of Polarsets with the skyward vocals of Mew, it's a breezy blast of blissful pop that's the perfect respite from this suffocating NYC summer. Dive into the exclusive premiere below.

HEART LOCKED TIGHT.

"The Wire" was always going to be The Song. And now here it is, HAIM's longtime live favorite arriving today in all its studio glory, a relentless glam-rock anthem that steamrolls over literally everything in its path. From the rocket-powered guitars to the alternating rock goddess vocals, it has all the makings of an instant classic. And when that majestic gun-slinging guitar solo drops in, it's game, set and match; all hail the new queens of rock.

HIGH AS A KITE.

Our love affair with Atlas Genius goes way back, so when we heard that our new starchild, Magic Man, was remixing Atlas' latest single "If So", we knew the possibilities were endless. And unsurprisingly, Magic Man fail to disappoint once again with possibly their best remix effort yet. Awash in a radiant astral glow, the remix plunges you into a magic monsoon of aquamarine synth surges that spring forth like a fountain of eternal youth, all boundless effervescence and unbridled optimism. Ladies and gentlemen, look no further, we've found the cure for the Common Monday.

COLOR IN THE CLOUD.

After testing the water with a series of sterling demos and covers this spring, Clare Maguire returns today with her best new offering yet. On "Paper Thin", Clare lowers the anchor as her heartbreaking sentiment hangs in the air with a light melancholy and husky urgency. It's a sonorous piano slow-burner that carves into you and leaves an emotional scar, and yeah, it's rather beautiful. Enjoy the exclusive premiere below.

WE COULD USE A LITTLE MEMORY.

Listen up, you're about to get very familiar with the name Panama Wedding. Exploding onto our radar earlier this summer with debut single "All Of The People", we've got a feeling this lot are primed for very big things and are pumped to roll out their debut for exclusive download on these pages here today. From the translucent rainbow synths to the irresistibly saccharine melodies, it sounds like a search party of Peter Gabriel, Foster The People and Vampire Weekend traipsing through the jungles of St. Lucia on a quest for the holy grail.  Add a touch of magic from Andrew Maury (of RAC) in the form of mixing duties and you've got the perfect summer smash dipped in white gold. Call it what you want, but mark our words - "All Of The People" is about to make some serious waves in the NYC pop landscape.

BUILT IT IN THE SKY.

By now you've probably heard that we've got a new thing going at The Westway to help launch their new and improved live setup, and it's kicking off tomorrow with our nearest and dearest Savoir Adore and French Horn Rebellion. And what better way to set the mood for tomorrow's star-crossed pairing than to revisit a recent "collaboration" of theirs, when French Horn Rebellion remixed Savoir Adore's summer classic, "Dreamers", into a house party burner. It's a loopy disco-singed rework that will make the condensation stretch across your cocktail glass. Come live the dream with us tomorrow and bask in Savoir Adore's au naturel glow, tickets still available HERE.
