EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Penguin Prison - A Funny Thing (Jeffrey Jerusalem + Monarchy Remixes)
(Photo: Bjorn Iooss)
Penguin Prison–Neon Gold newbie and much-lauded Marina & The Diamonds remixer–has a resume littered with half-lives like Alicia Keys’ choir-mate and Q-Tip’s near protégé but it’s his Holy Ghost! connection we dig most. Dude was integral to two of our HG! faves—singing back-up here and co-writing this. Below, two shiny edits of "A Funny Thing" pump disco keys, Lucite synths and analog-pop into the bloodstream.
Sounds like: Holy Ghost!, Hercules & Love Affair

DOWNLOAD: Music Go Music - Warm In The Shadows (Villa Remix)
"Warm In The Shadows" already wielded a lot of bell-bottomed prance in its original form, so the Belgians in Villa didn't have to build a whole lot to make it more categorically dancey, just add some cycling synth pulse and a jacked-up bass figure and let Music Go Music surf their own gleaming, satin-draped, porcelaneous cloud. Should you still need MGM's debut LP, Expressions, you can pick it up from Secretly Canadian right here.
Sounds like: ABBA, Aeroplane, The Golden Filter

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Bag Raiders Vs. Sammy Bananas - Fun Punch (feat. Carrie Wilds)

Fool's Gold just put out a record with Sydney party denizens Bag Raiders, collecting some remixes from FG associates and a new original with Donnis for the North American exclusive Big Fun EP. This mega retro version of their single "Fun Punch" by Sammy Bananas and Brooklyn singer Carrie Wilds was held just for us, and since it sounds like Gloria Estefan as heard through a pack of Starburst, we are obviously psyched to share. Download's below; for the Big Fun EP hit up Beatport or iTunes.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Alice Russell - Let Us Be Loving (KidKanevil Remix)
Alice Russell is from England? We call foul, she’s got to be from Rogers, Texas, thrice divorced, her congregation's star alto and Alvin Ailey’s muse with pipes like these. Below lift the excellent, soul and funk-kissed KidKanevil remix of “Let Us Be Loving” before it drops next week. Show support here by purchasing Pot of Gold or a slew of singles and 7-inchers including The White Stripes covers and Mr. Scruff remixes. Also, dainty limited edition teacups. Okay, she’s British.
Sounds like: Duffy, Aretha Franklin, Jill Scott
DOWNLOAD: Beach House - Norway
Beach House timed this one just about perfect, didn't they? "Norway" isn't just made for autumn, it is autumn, ticking along on breath-on-window backing sighs, synths that disintegrate like a bed of fallen leaves and the voice of Victoria Legrand; who inhales oxygen and exhales bitter, bitter, wistful regret. Break your heart some more when the duo's much-anticipated new album Teen Dream drops early next year.
Sounds Like: M83, Memory Tapes, Joe Cocker trapped in Pat Benatar's body

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: The Golden Filter - Thunderbird (With Beauty Before Me, I Walk Mix)
The Golden Filter's name implies immaculateness, so no surprise that their tunes always have this great aural New Car Smell. They just put out a new single through Dummy called "Thunderbird," a traipsing disco cut that sounds like it could've been made from ivory. The original and dub mixes have been floating around and a new video arrived today, but this version, with towering oil drum hits and foggy rainforest vibes, is exclusive to us. Download it below while we go mine the closet for rainsticks and facepaint.

DOWNLOAD: Fan Death - Cannibal
We've had remixes and incredible videos, but "Cannibal" is actually the first original Fan Death tune we've heard since "Veronica's Veil" in 2008. They're still singing about macabre stuff over regal synth-strings, the same ABBA-gone-goth path we happily followed them down the last time. It will also open a new EP called A Coin For The Well, which is due in January through Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sound.

It's been a long time coming, but Kid Sister finally released her debut LP, Ultraviolet, today–pick it up on iTunes, Amazon, the Music Tee, or whichever fine physical outlet you patronize. As a special bonus beat, we've got a super swishy unreleased mix of "Right Hand Hi" from Miami house producer SonicC.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Crystal Fighters - I Love London (In Flagranti Vintage Mix)
Despite the implications of the above photo, Crystal Fighters are not the second coming of From First To Last, they are Spanish, Kitsune-signed electro kids with party mantras like parasites. They touch down in New York this week for some shows in advance of a new single called "I Love London," which In Flagranti have sculpted into this particularly huge, chugging mass of arena-disco. Info on those New York gigs after the break; the full "I Love London" single is out on November 30th.
Sounds like: Jacques Renault, Serge Santiago, Holy Ghost!

T-Dot disco impresarios TMDP (not an acronym, apparently) put together this glimmering Italo version of Lissy Trullie's "Self Taught Learner," affronting any notion that it's just Nordic and Flemish beardos killing this cosmic synth thing. Of course, if you prefer the unmanipulated version, it's available on Trullie's just re-released EP of the same name.
Sounds like: Aeroplane, Faze Action, diskJokke
