JUST LIKE THE FIRST TIME.

Brooklyn's own bright young things, Little Daylight, have been smashing it out of the park for the better part of the last year, and this week marks the arrival of their much-anticipated debut EP proper Tunnel Vision, out tomorrow on Capitol. Today, they've been kind enough to throw us the exclusive premiere of "Restart" - a Daylight live favorite from day one that instantly reminds you of all the reasons you fell in love with the three-piece in the first place. With space age synths and frontwoman Nikki Taylor effortlessly channeling Emily Haines in the winsome femme fatale role she was born to play, it's a synth-laden timewarp that floods you with '00s nostalgia in all the right ways. Don't miss them live as they hit the road next month with another Neon Gold favorite, Charli XCX.

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.

MATTE + NEON GOLD PRESENT: FULL MOON 2013

Over the past few summers, Matte Projects' Full Moon parties have become something of an NYC summertime institution, and this year we're thrilled to be teaming up with them as they take on their biggest undertaking yet. Leaving behind their former home of Beekman's Beer Garden, they're taking things to the wide open spaces of Governors Island Beach, the perfect urban paradise for a Full Moon.

We're giving you a front row seat to a sunset over the Statue of Liberty and a moonrise over Lower Manhattan, and the perfect soundtrack to accompany it, with two stages of live music and DJs from 4pm-12am to coincide with the full moon on June 22nd. In addition to larger-than-life main stage sets from Miami Horror (making their triumphant return to NYC), Cyril Hahn, Tanlines, Yuksek and Wild Belle, we'll also be presenting a very special Neon Gold stage starring HAERTS, The Knocks, Little Daylight and more. And with pre-release $25 tickets (and $75 pre-release VIP tix) already sold out, you're going to want to move fast to get your $35 second release tickets HERE before it's too late, as this is sure to be one to remember.

POPSHOP BK 011: SIR SLY

Another month, another killer Popshop Brooklyn bill ready to bowl you over. Up first, we've got Aussie party kids, The Griswolds, making their NYC debut, before Little Daylight shine in the main support slot a month after debuting their live show at Popshop NYC a few weeks back. Then in the headline slot, we've got LA's princes of darkness Sir Sly shutting things down as they make their Brooklyn live debut. It's all going down on May 11th at Brooklyn Bowl, with advance tickets available HERE now.

NOTHING LEFT FOR ME TO BREATHE.

Picking up where CHVRCHES left off, Prides are the latest new band to carry the torch forward for Glasgow. Much like their previous project Midnight Lion, Prides have an out-of-the-box arena-ready quality to them, and nowhere is that more evident than on debut single "Out of the Blue". Packing a swift uppercut of anthemic, off-kilter bagpipes (okay fine they're synths) and empire-toppling big beat drums, the song enthralls like CHVRCHES crashing into Little Daylight on an intergalactic space high and never ever coming down. Cop the exclusive download below.

LET IT POUR OUT OF YR SOUL.

Little Daylight has been holding down the remix game for a minute now and after a pair of brilliant originals, we're here to talk about their treatment for The Mowgli's. Daylight spin their feel-good rock anthem "San Francisco" into an astrophysical exercise of electronic pop pushups and nu-disco pullups. It's an impossibly jubilant number that we can get behind any time of day. Catch Little Daylight LIVE tonight at Popshop, advance tickets still (barely) available HERE. And don't miss The Mowgli's first sold out NYC show tomorrow at Mercury Lounge.

SAILING THROUGH THE DARK.

Little Daylight swept the blogosphere like a fluorescent carpetbomb with their debut single "Overdose" earlier this year, and now the Brooklyn trio have released their second single "Name In Lights". The perfect complement to its predecessor, "Lights" drops in like mellow dynamite, a soft blow to your mind that you can't help but fall in love with. As the manic pixie dream-laced vocals seep in, the pensive gossamer synths play nicely alongside an angelic percussive patter, and with early offerings like these, it should come as no surprise that a label bidding war is currently hitting critical mass. Little Daylight will be making their NYC debut at Popshop this Thursday, and with advance tix still available HERE, you're gonna wanna lock yours up sooner rather than later. Trust us, this is not one to be missed.

POPSHOP025: ALEX METRIC + GOLDROOM

 We've been feeling generous with all the free Popshops this year, but all free things must come to an end sooner or later. We wouldn't deign to jolt you back to reality if we didn't have a lineup worth its weight in gold though, and our next bill is one of our biggest and best yet. After Hurricane Sandy washed out his Popshop debut last November, Alex Metric makes his triumphant return as our DJ headliner, fresh off a massive NYC play earlier this month supporting Zedd at Webster Hall. Then, in the live headline slot we welcome back seasoned Popshop veteran Goldroom, as he unveils a brand new setup in his NYC live debut. Rounding out the bill we've got two of the brightest up and comers NYC and London have to offer, as Little Daylight and Lovelife start things off early. It’s all going down April 4th at Santos Party House at 9pm, grab your $10 advance tickets HERE before they jump to $15 at the door.

NEED YOU LIKE A DRUG.

New kids on the block, Little Daylight, turned heads throughout 2012 with remixes for such Neon Gold luminaries as Passion Pit, St. Lucia, and Penguin Prison. Now the trio have their eyes set on 2013, as they arrive with their debut original single "Overdose". The track finds our shadowy heroine singing over a heavy grind of vindictive synths and drums, almost like Sky Ferreira fronting The Naked & Famous with streaks of Blondfire and Passion Pit making their presence felt throughout. Are winter anthems a thing? Because if "Overdose" is any indication, they might be now.
