The Brits & PMR Records



PRM Records is a London based music label that represents some of the best DJs and artists in the U.K. The label was founded in January 2011 with the “funky house” DJ Julio Bashmore. Since then they have grown into a label of 7 artists who continue to release “forward thinking pop music in a completely non-flashy way.” Here is a sampler of some of the talent they now represent, which includes the great Disclosure, T.Williams, and Jessie Ware.

Little Boots - "Motorway"



Little Boots just released her music video for “Motorway”, a song off her highly anticipated album, Nocturnes. The video features strange black and white visuals of front girl Victoria Christina Hesketh; nonetheless her perfect, angelic vocals and instrumental beats throughout this song, all give me a good feeling about the rest of her album.

Alabama Shakes



From touring with Jack White to performing at the Grammy’s and more recently on Saturday Night Live, the Alabama Shakes have made their mark on the southern rock scene. Here is their new single “Always Alright”, which appears on the Silver Linings Playbook soundtrack. It’s always great to hear more from them and I'm excited to see what they will do in the future!

Always Alright- Alabama Shakes

*Shout out to Jillian Cook*

In October 2012 they released the single “Latch”, featuring Sam Smith which is my personal favorite.

Day Dream, Hippy Remixes



















Nothing can compare to the original Fleetwood Mac, "Rhiannon" but this is a great remix of a classic.
"About That Life" is a Diplo song that steers away from his typical, popular music. The last song is a Flume masterpiece; a young Sydney producer who started at age 13.

Fleetwood Mac vs Massive Attack

About That Life feat. Jahan Lennon- Diplo

















Sleepless Featuring Anthony For Cleopatra- Flume

Chill Grooves


















Here are some funky chill tunes that have been on my radar these past couple of months. Let the smooth voices and steady beats sink into your soul.  

'K Koke Ft Maverick Sabre - Turn Back (Tough Love Remix)

Gold Snake Hipps Bootleg- Bondax

So Good To Me - Chris Malinchak



Some Things Never Seem to Fucking Work- Solange

Losing You- Solange

Purity Ring

























This chill electro-pop project of Corrin Roddick and Megan James, Purity Ring began when the two were in Canadian indie rock act Gobble Gobble (which later became Born Gold). Their first song, "Ungirthed," arrived in January 2011 to critical acclaim, and Purity Ring eventually signed with 4AD Records. Shrines, their debut album, was released in July 2012. I also love this new Hood Internet Remix of Purity Ring and Frank Ocean.

Purityspeak (Purity Ring vs. Frank Ocean)- The Hood Internet

Obedear- Purity Ring

Cyril Hahn

























Absolutely love Cyril Hahn and his Destiny Child’s remix. Say my name, say my name…o0o0o0o0oh

Say My Name (Cyril Hahn Remix)- Destiny's Child

Don't Save Me (Cyril Hahn Remix)- Haim

RAC!!!!!!!




















My obsession with RAC (Remix Artist Collective) has grown throughout the years. NEED TO CHECK THEM OUT if you already haven't. Their synth-pop, anti-“club remixes” are always on point. This group of international members has created some of the best rock/electronica/dance remixes of our time. Here are my favs…

Blue Jeans (RAC Remix)-Lana Del Rey
Stranger Love (RAC Remix) - Clasixx
Some Boys (RAC Remix)- Death Cab for Cutie
When I'm Small (RAC Remix)- Phantogram
We Come Running (RAC Remix)- Youngblood Hawk
Part Of Me (RAC Remix)- Katy Perry
Houdini (RAC Remix)- Foster The People

Cherub


















Cherub is an avant-garde, electro-pop dream I was immediately turned on to after their release of “Mom and Dad” in February of 2012. Their music seems to embody the funky, sexy, cool guy everyone wants to be friends with.

Xoxo - Cherub

Doses & Mimosas - Cherub

New Phoenix!



I have been in love with these French boys from Versailles for quite a while now. I happen to also praise the indie, royal couple that is Thomas Mars (front man) and Sofia Coppola. Regardless, everyone loves Phoenix, and this is their new song.

Phoenix - Entertainment

Sky Ferreira



If you don't know her by now, Sky Ferreira is an American singer/songwriter, model, and actress. She released her first EP "As If" in March 2011, which seems very mediocre compared to her 2nd EP "Ghost", released October 2012. My two favorites from "Ghost" will surely put you in a girly, love dream coma you won't want to wake up from.

Sky Ferriera- Lost In My Bedroom

Sky Ferriera- EVERYTHING IS EMBARRASSING
