Groove Armada – I Won’t Kneel

People who don’t really listen to a lot of dance music still might remember Groove Armada’s hit from a decade ago, “I See You Baby,” which was downright inescapable if you watched MTV in 1999. This song sounds absolutely nothing like that. Instead, it sounds like it could be some awesome unreleased song by Kate Bush or Til Tuesday. Fantastic vintage 80s synth-pop that falls right in line with my recent obsession.

Mayer Hawthorne – My Green Eyed Love (Classixx Remix)


The boys from Classixx have absolutely been on fire recently, there’s nothing that they’ve done that I haven’t absolutely loved. This is probably my favorite thing from them so far, a minimal cosmic-swing remix for Stones Throw’s neo-soul crooner Mayer Hawthorne. Additionally, if you’re in NYC tonight, they’re playing for free (RSVP info here) at the W Hotel on Lexington. I hear rumors of a later set downtown at Ella as well. Anyways, stream and/or download the track via Rcrdlbl.com’s nifty player below.
