2manyDJs | Soundcloud | Tickets

When I think of the godfathers of modern electronic music, a few names come to mind: Daft Punk, James Murphy, Justice, and the lesser known brothers of Soulwax (AKA 2manyDJs). The amount of influence these guys have had on many of our idols shouldn’t go unmentioned. They’re well respected and highly regarded in the electronic music community by many, but aren’t nearly as recognized as they should be. When taking time out of their studio in Belgium, these two are traveling the world; either with their full band for the sensational live show that is Soulwax or in the brotherly twosome as 2manyDJs.

While they are normally found rocking the larger stages of festivals, seeing a club show curated by these two is a privilege. Not to mention that they’ll be at Sound Nightclub which coincidentally has the best sound in town. LA, we’re in for a treat tomorrow.

Tracks From As Heard On Radio Soulwax Part 2

Mighty Mouse | Soundcloud

It’s nice to watch someone’s progression and see that they are continuing to grow and master their skill. Mighty Mouse has always had a knack for releasing groovy disco and house tracks, but his most latest release is the pinnacle of his journey thus far. The astounding vocals from Monarchy’s Ra Black backing up Mighty Mouses’s funky beat brings the song together beautifully. Almost reminiscent of Michael Jackson, if I do say so myself. Excited to see where else Mighty Mouse takes his sound.

BONUS REMIX

Cashmere Cat | Soundcloud

It’s hard to believe that it has been nearly a year since Cashmere Cat graced us with his beautiful debut EP Mirror Maru. Since then he’s been garnering more and more acclaim; getting booked at festivals and events around the world, most recently opening for Dillon Francis on his I Don’t Give A Fuck or Santa tour.

Today our favorite feline released “With Me”, his beaming new single. While showcasing his distinct production style along a melancholic piano intro, the uplifting synths and percussion climax is unlike anything we’ve ever heard. “With Me” will be featured on Cashmere Cat’s Wedding Bells EP, set to released in January. Kitty’s back y’all.

Flume | Chet Faker | Our Flume Interview

It’s no surprise to see these Australian natives coming together again for an official release. Flume and Chet formerly collaborated on “Left Alone,” one of the many standout tracks on Flume’s double-platinum, self-titled record. When you see Chet’s lumberjack-esque and raw exterior, you’d never imagine the range and power of his vocals. Combined with a textbook Flume beat on “Drop the Game”, and you’re feeling weightless; gliding just overhead a foggy rain forest. Is that weird? See for yourself below.

IHEARTCOMIX | TICKETS

Our IHeartComix homies are celebrating the three year anniversary of their incredibly popular Check Yo Ponytail series tomorrow! As we’ve come to expect from CYP, the talent is absolute top notch and suggestive of an insane, memorable night. Alice Glass of Crystal Castles will be playing a DJ set and self-proclaimed party god Andrew W.K. will be bringing his energy as well. We’re expecting some good ol’ chaos of the finer varieties.

IHC has also announced there will be special guests in attendance. It should be noted that CYP has had superstar DJs show up on a normal basis. As always this will be held at the Echoplex, one of Los Angeles’ more intimate venues that generally brings a passionate crowd. Expect to be a part of one of the ~coolest~ parties in the country.
