The Black Key have been around a little while now but they have just come out with the album Blakroc which is a collaboration between them and various hip hop artists including Ludacris, Mos Def, and RZA. Its actually a really good album. Hip hop and the Black Keys rock beats work surprisingly well together check it out.
Done Did It (feat. Nicole Wray & NOE)
Next up is Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. At first I was a little skeptical because of the lead singers voice but it grew on me. The whole sound is very unique and the first track especially makes me think I am at a drunk circus and honestly I can’t think of much better. But seriously this music is worth taking a listen to.

Finally this week check out Jets Overhead and their newest album No Nations. You can actually get the title track from this Canadian band from their website as well as listen to the album all for free. A lot of it actually reminds me of Radiohead. If you don’t feel like going over to the website and getting the track for yourself here it is.

So last night I went to see Jack Beats at the Button Factory in Dublin, Ireland. Amazing. Their whole set was pack full of great beats and completely danceable music. There was one thing that ruined the whole show, Dublin. Now I have been living here for a while and I know that the people here really cannot dance and thats fine. But don’t go to a show for an international act and try to make requests to the DJ. I literally heard a girl say “I’m gonna go ask if he can play some house music.” I’m sorry but that is just wrong. Anyways definitely check out Jack Beats. They make amazing tracks and have an amazing live set. Now just come to the US so I can party with people who really know how to. Here are some of the newest stuff from these guys and a video of them live so you know that they are actually amazing.
Here is a mix for your Saturday night dance party… please enjoy responsibly (aka don’t overplay). This mix has bee brought to you by Algeronics. Algeronics was formed in 2006 by George Banzon at only 14 years old. Originally it was intended to be based on deep electronica but has since become synonymous with french-electro being influenced by Daft Punk and Justice. Here are a few of the tracks that have been put out so far.

The Cool Kids recently put out a mixtape with Don Cannon who is known for working with acts such as 50 Cent and Ludacris. This is nothing short of the typical awesomeness that The Cool Kids put out. Plus with Don Cannon you know the beats are gonna be sick. The first track or two does have that annoying typical shouting out of the producers name but thats about the only problem I have with this mixtape. Other than that its been jam after jam. So get it, throw it on, and enjoy.
Grab the mixtape here.
A few tracks that I especially liked. Look out for Ludacris on Pennies.

Sunday's Best is a segment where I am going to put a song from my top 3 listened to bands of the week. So here it goes, the first ever installment.Ella Fitzgerald- Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye
As of late I have stumbled upon Discovery and their LP. They have a way of being melodically digital and at the same time cannot help but bob my head and move my feet. It has gotten me through many of my long travels. The song Osaka Loop Line has amazing tempo changes and is put together in an interesting way. Other songs to check out: I Want You Back and their cover of Ra Ra Riot's Can You Tell? called Can You Discover? These guys are definiately worth the time.Suburban Rating: 8/10
