Beat Connection is summer. No really. My memories are triggered by sound and this song does the job. Beat Connection, which essentially are lads from Seattle, Jordan Koplowitz and Reed Juenger, create music that makes you want to wish that summer had no end. The fresh, tropical themed In The Water is free and you can preview and download their Surf Noir EP at my new favorite site Bandcamp. Below is also a link to another one of I liked, Silver Screen. Folks, their music can be downloaded free so go ahead and drop in their site for good vibes.

Electro-pop darling Neon Hitch does this winning track with Sia's melodramatic melody from Breathe Me playing in the periphery of the track and Mike Posner's lyrics. She definitely shows some range with her recent cover of Travie McCoy's Billionaire which you should check out. Not enough to entice you? You'll do a double-take then with this soulful Snoop Dogg approved cover of Drop It Like It's Hot then. Catch her at on the BMI stage at Lollapalooza, 12:30 pm Sunday, 8th of August!

*Neon Hitch isn't a pseudonym guys. It's her legit name. How cool is that?

MARVELOUS - FANTABULOUS.(I rarely use this word but I feel uninhibited just now).

I've always kept my opinions on Ratatat's music brief. So by tradition, I'm going to leave you with this amazing song. Buy their LP4, here.

Have a good time viewing this loud and boisterously fun video of The Henry Clay People's "Your Famous Friends" from their album, Somewhere on the Golden Coast. The band is on tour with Silversun Pickups.

Summer is drawing to a close so better end it with a bang right? Modiba Productions, which is a music production company and record label committed to the social and economic empowerment of Africa and its Diaspora, sent this tropical theme of a podcast. Prepare that pina colada or any drink to your liking, bring friends over and have a house party with this playing and I guarantee you'd be having a bangin' time. Don't bring killjoys - unless they buy the booze. :)

RICH KID SOUND SYSTEM is more than that usual party banger you are used to. We love some no-nonsense partying but if you want to have that feel good tune and get into the groove at the same time, then Rich Kid Sound System's 'A Little Bit Of Time" is the one you should tune to. This South Florida based live band got selected on an upcoming Ford Internet campaign and with the music their making, I'm sure as hell looking forward for their big break! Looking forward to more great tunes from these guys.

Disco/weird/80's cool and odd facial expressions make this Short Circuit-esque music video from Chromeo worth your viewing. I've been feeling Don't Turn The Lights On, and if you are too, then I recommend you buy their album here.
