The video for Justice’s latest single “ON’N'ON” was released last week and during that time it was announced a number of remixes for the EP, one of those mentioned was Rick Rubin. Well, lucky us, as Ed Banger Records has decided to release a stream of that particular remix, which is quite good. When hearing Rick Rubin was remixing the song I was sort of imagining a harder version of this song, but he went the opposite direction making it a lot more dance / pop. I actually prefer this over the original.
A visually looking video from Justice for the song “ON’N'ON” that’s being described as cosmic, which pretty much defines it. Shit is pretty trippy at moments. The EP for this song will be released on January 30th and feature remixes from Rick Rubin, Tiga, Brodinski, Erol Alkan and Video Village.
ZOMG, new Justice…well, actually I’m not totally sure about the material I’ve been hearing so far from the new album, which happens to be the same name of this new single, “Audio, Video, Disco”. Album out on October 24th. Video is directed by SO ME.
Okay this mix isn’t new, it’s about 2 months old according to Soundcloud, but I somehow missed it. But it was a nice surprise as I listened to a few times yesterday and love this mix. Lifelike keeps the jams fun-kay.

One of the most hyped-about shows this month almost never happened when Toro Y Moi Tweeted “Wow. Canadian border is bein a total pain in our ass. We may not play” several hours before the show was to start. But fans were able to breathe a collective sigh of relief when he announced that he had stepped into the Great White North three hours later.
The artist with Chazwick Bundick stamped on his passport was headlining a show with Canadian electro-pop darling Teen Daze and experimental rockers Braids, which seemed more of a triple billing rather than two openers given the excitement surrounding the lineup.
Things got started with Teen Daze just after 9:30 p.m. at the Biltmore Cabaret. A sold-out crowd had been pouring in from Vancouver’s damp, mild start to spring an hour beforehand and was ready to get down with sweaty cans of PBR in their hands. After a brief introduction along the lines of “Hello I’m Teen Daze and I’d like to play you some dance music,” the young, blonde DJ from Abbotsford started pumping out the happy, electro-pop dance music found on his 2010 EP, Four More Years. Teen Daze isn’t doing anything too sensational or innovative, which is probably why he’s developed such a healthy following from critics and fans alike. His sound comes from the same vein as mid-2000′s Ed Bangers like Justice and Busy P, and in this case, a little goes a long way. Songs like “Shine On, You Crazy White Cap,” “Saviour” and “Gone For the Summer (Part 2)” follow the classic chord progressions of VI-V-IV-I, with solid 4/4 dance rhythms below and galaxy-like arpeggios above. Bottom line: it’s feel-good dance music.

That was posted yesterday morning on their FaceBook page. The album, Civilization, is just around the corner with the first official single dropping on April 4th. Check the leak that’s been posted on YouTube.
Formerly known as Poney Poney, the band has returned under their newest name, Jamaica. Their first album, yet to be named, has been generating a ton of hype as it is being produced by Xavier de Rosnay, one half of Justice, and Daft Punk’s sound Engineer Peter Franco. Who can hate with a team like that. Their first single “I Think I Like U 2″ is available here for download as well as the music video which was produced by So Me and Machine Molle.
