[QUICK MIX - CHILL ELECTRO] Goldroom – ‘Saguaro Mix 2013′

“When I make a mix I try and tell a story. These aren’t the newest or coolest songs on the block, and you probably wont hear me DJing most of them. But they’re all some of my personal favorite songs right now, and if I did things right, this will soundtrack some sort of epic [...]

[THE DAILY SWIM] Seraphus ft. Farisha – “Exception”

Welcome to The Daily Swim, a new feature on The Sights and Sounds to bring you as much new music as we can. As a daily swimmer, water has always served as a dichotomy to my psyche – wholly and unswervingly calming in it’s vast simplicity yet at the same time able to harness and [...]

[CHILL/ELECTRO] Stardust – “Music Sounds Better With You” (Giraffage Remix)

Back in the late 90′s, in a time before EDM dominated radio and internet charts, a group of small artists came together under the moniker Stardust to create just one track. Consisting of Daft Punk‘s Thomas Bangalter as well as two guys named Alan Braxe and Benjamin Diamond, the group produced the classic, and instantly [...]

[ELECTRONICA] Phoenix – “Trying To Be Cool” (Moon Bounce Remix)

Philly based electronic producer Moon Bounce caught my attention pretty quickly with the glitched out, chill-hop remix he put together for Phoenix‘s new track “Trying To Be Cool.” With so many EDM artists producing a wish-wash of similar sounding beats, it’s refreshing to hear something that sits in the same vein, yet sounds altogether unique. [...]

[SYNTH/POP] Capital Cities – “Stayin’ Alive” (Bee Gees’ Cover)

Spring seems to be in full fling in Chicago as the temperatures have steadily risen from the deep freeze just weeks ago. As my old band director used to say, “It’s a great day to be alive.” LA based Capital Cities seems to feel the same way as they have reworked the classic Bee Gees‘ [...]

[ELECTRO/POP] Jon Sandler – “Take My Time” (Little Daylight Remix)

I’m really digging the upbeat new sounds coming from rising star trio Little Daylight. First featured on this site for their ultra catchy single “Overdose“, the group has just dropped a club-driven, electro remix of Jon Sandler‘s Take My Time.” Entering with some fairly dramatic fanfare, the track quickly picks up pace as we find [...]

[ELECTRO] Brown & Gammon – “Dark Matter”

I hadn’t heard much about Brown & Gammon before I came upon their new retro-synth injected jam “Dark Matter,” so I decided to do a little research. Here’s the mini bio I got from their Soundcloud page: “We are now a duo, complete with unnecessary vintage synthesisers and guitars. Expect unnecessary vintage sounds in amongst [...]

[SYNTH/POP] Marina & The Diamonds and Charli XCX – “Just Desserts”

Good pals Marina & The Diamonds and Charli XCX have joined forces to premiere their much anticipated collaboration “Just Desserts” in support of their upcoming North American tour kicking off May 6th in San Francisco. The synth pop sounds in “Just Desserts” tend toward the darker palettes as the girl power duo croon about the [...]
