DOWNLOAD + VIDEO: Bobby Birdman - Weighty Wait
Today brings our second gift from Bobby Birdman off his upcoming New Moods. “Weighty Weight” is a slow-burning track, coasting in and out of guitar plucks and white noise. In the new vid, a hypnotic TV glare lures us in with skate videos, priming us for optimum scare when Bobby’s creepily half-lit face emerges out of nowhere. Look, man, we didn’t know anyone was home, so we’ll just back out of here, all right? We don’t want any trouble.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Le Corps Mince de Françoise - Something Golden (Lenny Picko Remix)
The three Finnish ladies in Le Corps Mince de Françoise (guesstimately correctly translated by our commenters as "the thin body of Françoise") are putting out "Something Golden" as a new single through Kitsune, though this slo-mo electro-disco flip from Lenny Picko won't be on the release. What will be on there is a trio of versions from Renaissance Man, Oleo, and Heartbreak, all of it preceding a new album called Love & Nature that includes production from Switch. As if they didn't already have you at that photo.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Passion Pit - Little Secrets (Jaymo & Andy George Remix)
.jpg)
Enthusiasm, falsettos, child choirs and the-falling-in-love-every-five-minutes - there's something about Passion Pit that just screams youth, so it's no surprise to learn that the latest kids to remix them look about 12 and are the youngest DJs ever to record an Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1. Ain't nothing dance-geek about Jaymo & Andy George - there's a little Moroder in there at the start, sure, but on the whole they're faithful to "Little Secrets"' carefree buoyancy, working it up into unabashed chart-house for you to smile at and make up funny dance routines to.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Amanda Blank - Shame On Me (Yuksek Remix)
Completing the "Shame On Me" remix drip in typically luxe fashion is the Frenchman Yuksek, who eschews Viking and Jacknife Lee's drive-time vibes for velvet rope lounge disco, synths soft like bear rugs and handclaps aplenty. Grab all three versions of the song below, and pick up the album from whence it came–Amanda Blank's I Love You–right here.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Uninhabitable Mansions - Do You Have A Strategy + The Speed Is Deceiving
Uninhabitable Mansions could be considered a super-collective, what with band members from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Au Revoir Simone, Dirty on Purpose and Radical Dads. As you’d suspect, they make big, strummy, fading-light pop that hits right into the soft spot of your swelling indie heart. You should have that thing looked at, dude. Pick up the album here after lifting the two excellent tracks below and check in with the band's MySpace for updates on their 2010 tour schedule.

DOWNLOAD: The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - Higher Than The Stars (Saint Etienne Visits Lord Spank Remix)
The yesterday's dreamers in The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart will release a remix EP in the UK next week for their single "Higher Than The Stars," this version from seasoned dance group Saint Etienne being an obvious highlight. We're never not cloudsurfing at sunset with Saint Etienne, and this remix–weightless with foggy keys and unsinkable hand drums–is no exception. Just don't ask us who Lord Spank is. Pains will be over in Europe for a few weeks of shows in November in December, those dates and more after the break.

DOWNLOAD: Chelley - Check Up On It (Clean Edit)
He melted hearts and minds on the hook of Major Lazer's "Keep It Goin' Louder," but didn't you know that Ricky Blaze is also quite astute behind the boards? This new single from Chelley, which he produced, is our parting shot for the weekend, a bit of unrelenting club heat we will be psyched to have danced to when we wake up on the floor tomorrow morning.
EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Amanda Blank - Shame On Me (Viking Remix)
The drip of "Shame On Me" remixes continues with a pass from Viking, who's been quietly killing the cushy electro-house thing from the unlikely perch of Richmond, Virginia. Download his version below, and if you happen to be in London this evening, catch Amanda Blank at Camden's Proud venue alongside We Have Band and the Passion Pit DJs.

Wow, Annie really forwent the subtlety route here, eh? Poor dude. She sounds so uncaring whilst trouncing his dreams over glitzy Paul Epworth beats, and this chorus will probably (rightly) reach mantra levels of popularity. The Norwegian pop singer's long-awaited second LP, Don't Stop, is out November 17th through Smalltown Supersound.
DOWNLOAD: The Mary Onettes - Puzzles + Dare
Sweden’s answer to new-new-wave, The Mary Onettes make woozy, 80s-inspired pop. Though oft-lauded for their unabashed leanings towards the more mass side of The Cure and New Order—the side where we all begrudgingly agree those bands were not actually for romantic misfits alone—the fellows take a moodier (but no less catchy) turn on their latest album. Islands drops November 3rd on Labrador while two excellent, keyboard-riddled tracks await below.
