SHELLS - MIA

In a relationship, typically if one person announces they want to go on a break... everyone knows that it almost always ends in a breakup. Thankfully in the case of M.I.A. and her fans, the break did its job. After the major radio success of Paper Planes it's nice to see M.I.A.'s latest release didn't veer to far from her previous work. You can grab the How Many Votes Fix EP from iTunes (not available in Canada). The EP features a Jay-Z remix of Boyz as well as a new track called Shells. A catchy, upbeat tune with a message, from M.I.A? Who would've thought?

ZOMBIES! - DESIGNER DRUGS

Halloween is quickly approaching and once again I still haven't decided on a costume. The only thing I know for certain about his Halloween is that DJs all over are going to be haunting crowds with Designer Drugs latest release - Zombies! This track reminds me of one of those sound track tapes you buy to play outside your house on Halloween but obviously way dirtier and more danceable. This isn't just water dripping and a few werewolf cries... Filled with distorted vibrations and a killer beat this is the perfect track for an electro-zombie dance party.

CHAD VANGAALEN

Chad VanGaalen is the complete package. The same can be said for his his latest release Soft Airplane. This singer/song writer/artist/illustrator, spends the majority of his time in his basement in Calgary. Creating is what Chad does. Recently, his collection of words, sounds,drum machine's, lo-fi recordings ect, have come together under the album Soft Airplane. Stories of life, death and the beautiful things in between make up his 3rd album released through SubPop Records (INTL) and Flemish Eye Records (CAN). Rarely does it happen that such a young artist can put together such a cohesive album that truly does capture your attention and heart from start to finish. With his distinct sound VanGaalen has solidified himself in the Canadian music scene and now finds himself on tour once again. You can check out Chad VanGaalen this October as he passes through Edmonton on the 17th.

TMNT MASK (NOAH YORK CITY REMIX) - CHAD VANGAALEN

DESIGNER DRUGS MEDDLE WITH LITTLE BOOTS

Designer Drugs are at it again. This time their target was the impossibly infectious track "Meddle" by Little Boots. Done up right, this track is the perfect length and hits all sweet spots hard. Keep an eye out for "Zombies" the upcoming single from the New York duo.
