It’s back to the “Rave On” album of Buddy Holly covers, due to drop June 28. It’s hard to go wrong with a Holly song, but Florence + the Machine outdid themselves on “Not Fade Away”. Gotta love the arrangement, which includes a wandering tuba. Florence is hot off of a reportedly huge Bonnaroo reaction, and I’ve got to believe that Buddy would be proud. Contributed by Bruce Rave

Just when you thought “You’ve Got the Love” was done, that it couldn’t possibly be remixed again…. Enter this heater by 19-yr old Leeds UK producer Jaggz. We’re into it. Jaggz flips the mix souping it up with monstrous colossal synths and pulsing floor-filling beats. p.s. Most definitely check out Jaggz’ Soundcloud, wall-to-wall bangers.

The place was electric. It was Halloween. “This is the start of our American tour and I can’t think of a better way to start than in Boston.”, said Ms. Welch at the close of the opening set’s penultimate song. HOB roared. Florence was so over.
Florence + the Machine are massive. If for only the sold out House of Blues crowd; but every face knew every word to everyone of those songs. It was an hour long reverie. For the set and encore’s approximate 60 minutes duration, Florence stood before the faithful, her gathered masses. She had the attention of the congregation.
And from the vestments (The band wore skeleton suits. Florence, the dress of a flame-haired corpse girl.) of the assembled Machine, to the performance of Florence Welch (arms waved, arms reaching out, hands held high) to the set’s subject matter (as remarked by Florence herself) “hell. coffins. blindness. werewolves.” It felt almost religious, something between ritual and ceremony. And it was Halloween.
“Dog Days Are Over” sounded enormous, “Cosmic Love” towered and soared, and “Kiss with a Fist” straight knocked us out.
Florence is a star. The UK knows. The US soon will. This larger venue North American tour (NY’s Terminal 5, LA’s Wiltern) should help.

coming at you today with a killer smooth out mix c/o a couple killer covers and a dope you’ve got the love reflip.
Florence + the Machine – You’ve Got the Love (Theophilus London xx Reflip)the ubiquitous mr london re-flips the jamie xx flo machine remix from last year. to quote the gospel according to blink 182, i’m feeling this
Quadron – Baby Be Mine (Michael Jackson Cover)quadron are so over w us at this juncture that it seems almost unfair to the rest of the game that they continue to drop ridiculous records like this. this cover of the off the wall ballad is capital a amazing.
James Blake – Limit to Your Love (Feist Cover)atmosphere muthafuckas! you can literally feel the heaviness of the air on the recording just bleed through headphones. yes!

a few weeks back we incorrectly assumed uk artist florence and the machine was a side project of the incomparable kate bush. we’ve since learned that assumption was a mistake. our regards to ms. bush and to ms. machine.

when we first learned of uk artist florence and the machine, we though, oh yeah, this must be a cool new band or summat, right? WRONG FUCKERS! naw dude, florence and the machine is actually just one person. wild, right? and that one person is london, uk artist kate bush. so yeah, it’s pretty dope to have ms. bush back on the scene and we’re psyched on the upcoming release of her ninth LP “lungs”, due july 6 on island.

Isabella Summers a/k/a Isabella Machine and her bandmate, one Florence Welch sat in for Annie Mac last night on BBC Radio 1. Isa and Flo dropped jams from Switch, Azealia Banks, Joy Orbison and this Beyonce remix, cooked down by Isabella herself. It’s “Countdown”.

“Red Water”, the new track from L.A. band Dream Vacation, is excerpted here from the band’s new self-titled EP. Produced by John Rausch (engineer for Florence + The Machine, Foxes, and Taylor Swift), “Red Water” picks up palette-wise on a mix of Disintegration-era Cure mood and Unforgettable Fire U2 melodicism. A potent blend of anthemic ideas and the instrumental scale to support such ambitions, “Red Water” is a strong listen we recommend. Stream the B3 Premiere of “Red Water” from L.A.’s Dream Vacation below.
