Reference the picture above, a wolf shooting neon pink lasers from its eyes.  I don’t think much more is required to prepare you for the electopop dance fury you will hear below.  The LA duo Story of the Running Wolf (SOTRW) craft pristine retro-futuristic fun in the vein of Empire of the Sun or Duran Duran.  You’ll also get a taste of peers Walk the Moon and Niki & the Dove.  Need more reason to like them?  They’re live show has been described as a ”John Hughes party on Neptune”.  Yeah, I’m gonna catch me one of them.

SOTRW – “Stratospheric”

SOTRW – “New Love”

I’ve been backlogged on remixes for a while, so why not just unload them all at once?  Starting off is Goldroom’s sunny version of Niki & The Dove.  Following is former NIN keyboardist Alessandro Cortini’s new solo project SONOIO remixed by dance gurus Ladytron.  An interesting remix by Second Date of Bon Iver’s 2009 track “Babys”.  Then a excellently mellow mix of Daft Punk by Cherokee.  Last but not least a motown infused take on Peter Bjorn & John’s “Dig A Littler Deeper” by Mayer Hawthorne.  Enjoy!
