Jamiroquai's lackluster new album, Rock Dust Star Light, gets completely overshadowed by the Fred Falke edit of single, Blue Skies, which appears on the deluxe edition. Mixes of White Knuckle Ride also top the original, and can be heard here.
Lesson to be learned: remix every new Jamiroquai song ever, and therein you find success.

**EXCLUSIVE**
Since first writing about Florrie in March of this year, shne's been on quite the impressive dominance of my words, my listenings and playlists, and equally, she's hot on the radar of bloggers across many a genre. Thanks to backing by Xenomania, Fred Falke's sweeping and swooping skills, along with her own incredible talent to boot, the young artist rightfully earns all the respect that's been tossed her way. Oh, and did we mention, every song that's out there right now by the tow-headed talent has been personally sent out by herself...for free. It just doesn't get better than that.
Barely a month has passed since her latest dosing of new tunes, and we're already getting the pro quo Falke fixes of the songs. Wanna Be Starting Something and Give Me Your Love (the latter being higher on my listening quantity) are fine examples of what you can expect when giving your attention to Florrie tunes: pop tinged tunes that aren't your standard run-of-the-mill sugary sweet ones. Nope, these are quality cuts.
Ok, all that said, Florrie isn't quite ready to throw this new one out to you free the cost of naught just yet, but we are, so here we roll in with the exclusive. Pretty pumped to start our Friday off with this gem. Falke mixes up Give Me Your Love, and he takes an already special track, into an even shinier, happier existence.
Ready for what's gonna happen now? Play and repeat, repeat, repeat...aces.

Parisian label Kitsuné continue their close relationship with London fashion webmag Ponystep this summer as their very own Jerry Bouthier mixes a new compilation...Kitsuné x Ponystep. Out on July 5, it features some rad selections from their catalogue as well as external gems from the likes of Booka Shade and Roisin Murphy. This is the second time they’ve released a CD together, after Kitsuné released the Boombox CD back in 2007, the offshoot of the trendy London club night that was run by Ponystep’s main man Richard Mortimer.
Quick tip: there's a Florrie 911 (not Call 911 anymore...apparently?) mix by BeatauCue via the JBAG Edit on the compilation that is going to thrill you all. I've had a listen, and am sharing a live DJ mix of it...so there are quick drop-ins from Nouveau Yorican and Teki Latex. But you'll get the idea. MASSIVE. (All apologies for the sub-par quality...but really it's not the worst. And at least you get a sneak peek, er, listen to the tune, yeah?)
BONUS: speaking of Florrie, she's got two new, free and fantastic tracks. Love this girl. Keep up the pop, lady...you''ve done nothing but make us happy and dancey for the better portion of the year.
Grab all the goodies below the Kitsuné x Ponystep track list. Viva la France!

These are the kind of things I like to wake up to on a Monday morning. Robyn matching wits with Fred Falke. No more words necessary.
Bask in the lush, beasts.
Bask indeed.
Want to know how Sia got started in music? She jumped over to Last Call with Carson Daly last night and drops some knowledge on her background, as well as bits of info on her upcoming album.
Yep, this is a mega short post because I'll be catching the singer at her sold-out show at Terminal 5 tonight, and will have a full on rad to the max review post with pictures and video up tomorrow.
For now, enjoy this lil' nugget o' joy.
mp3: Sia - Clap Your Hands (Fred Falke Remix)
Nothing makes us happier than getting news from camp Sia. With an endless supply of free spiritedness along with a perfect pop musicality to boot, the Australian singer and songwriter never fails to entertain, be it visually or audibly. Today, we're picking up on a bit of both, so get ready to grin, because there are goodies to gobble up.
Second single, Clap Your Hands, from the gal's upcoming 5th studio album, We Are Born, is a jaunty jam of a gem, showcasing the singer's often-neurotic, yet embraceable, style of singing and wordplay. At times it,'s funky and with moments of sincere emotions tossed on top, not only does the track have us smacking our mitts together, but it has our feet tapping the ground in nonstop fashion. The single was released earlier this month and can be purchased here.
Yesterday, she unveiled the video for the song, and holy puppets and fundom! Sia always manages to keep a young wash of wonder throughout her videos and this one falls right in line with everything we dig about her visual productions.
Watch the clip below, then jump after for :30 second previews of official remixes of Clap Your Hands from Diplo and Fred Falke. Two completely different yet equally stunning jaw-droppers!

I've been seeing a major trend lately in artists remixing their own songs. No complaints here...so long as the end result is as rad as what's just come through from one of our latest pop beasts, Florrie. Having already had her track Call 911 (as well as Panic Attack) fixed up by Fred Falke, she flips the ish on her own original.
I officially confirm her twinkling and synthly-xylophonic self-mix as 100% Beaston approved. Super digging the vocal drop in and outs. Florrie once again proves herself as deep in another facet of all her productions...adding master mixer to her already long list of credits.
Sorry for the short post(s) this AM. It's been a nutty one today!

Shame, shame, shame on me. In the post-SXSW hubbub and craziness, I completely overlooked this video footage of Lykke Li performing her Twilight soundtrack-worthy track, Possibility. Never the mind though, because slow and steady...she wins the race, eh?
Dudes, when I say she brings something forth with her voice...I literally mean she is channeling some other world entities like whoa. Hauntingly great.
Now when are we getting a new album, dear?
