The Hundred in the Hands – Commotion

hundred

we caught the hundred in the hands opening for the temper trap a few weeks back and we’re def impressed. the track for their lead single commotion further delivers on that first impression. we’re feeling the grooves and the killer melodies (spot that massive prechorus). consider us stoked to dig deeper into their self-titled debut.

Two Door Cinema Club – What You Know (Demetrio de Ccs Remix)

twodoor

so i was hanging out in victoria’s secret on saturday, just chillin, doing what dudes do and heard this song except not this remix just the song and i thought to myself 1) wow, this song is great, totally forgot about that 2) this song would make for a perfect gossip girl segue, maybe blake lively’s giving the kiss off to chuck bass, i don’t know. 3) oh yeah, this song would be totally cool with some sort of latin drums on it. so i saw phoenix the next night (great show btw) and two door cinema club was one of the openers and of course they played their big jam and it was great, we got down, all that. but i was still sorta thinking, wow wouldn’t this totally rule if it had some latin drums on it. so i went digging. behold: milwaukee dj demetrio de ccs super awesome merenguetronic remix of the verbosely named irish quartet’s 2010 headline jam what you know
