After spending years perfecting his style as an electronica musician and DJ/producer, Aman Ellis has decided to turn the knobs in a different direction, and with this change comes a new moniker. AIMES is the name that the Alabama native and Brooklyn resident has taken on, and his sound features references to the late 70′s Manhattan disco circuit, as well as the current UK bassline scene.

His first single, “Every Time When I See You,” was released earlier this week through ModyWorks, and features the b-side “Is A Good Friend?.” Both tracks are filled with nostalgic beats that include an array of lush synths, and bubbly bass lines. Currently, the single, along with the b-side, are available for purchase through iTunes, Beatport, Amazon, and Juno.

AIMES debut release Your Floor Is Now A Tree will be available on August 2nd through ModyWorks, and is currently available for pre-order.

Based off our listening of the synth-pop single “Utopia,” and the disco-filled “Dystopia (The Earth Is On Fire),” it is safe to say that YACHT‘s June 21st release, Shangri-La, is going to be a summertime hit. The idea behind the album is that the future is a blank slate, with a perfect world that is made up of songs. What exactly does this mean? We aren’t quite sure, but, luckily, NPR has full album stream for you to help us figure it out!

With their debut Native set for release on June 14th, Is Tropical have have continued to bring more exposure to the album with their latest video for “The Greeks.” Here is what the band had to say about the video:

“We like kids, we like gangs, we really like daydreaming and imagination; the video straddles the line between nostalgia and the visual death-porn of our generation – the action film. Don’t get carried away by politics – this is a straight-up kid brawl the way it played out in your head when you were stealing your mum’s mascara to be like Arnie in Predator.”

My first taste of NYC’s dance-punk outfit The Rapture came through their single “Out Of The Races And Onto The Tracks,” which I first heard back in high school. The jangly guitars, catchy dance riffs, and killer lyrics (i.e. “shake, shake, shake, shake”) really turned me on to their sound, and after seeing them perform live, I was hooked. With the release of their 2002 debut Echoes, which featured the infectious single “House Of Jealous Lovers,” The Rapture began to gain more ground in the music scene, and their live shows/DJ sets became a settled source of great music in NYC.

Now, The Rapture are ready to return to your stereos with the September 6 release of  In The Grace Of Your Love through DFA Records. While we only have the tracklist to offer at this time, we will keep you updated as any new information/tracks emerge!

3. Blue Bird
4. Come Back To Me

Last month, Green Label Sound’s Classixx busted out a killer dance track titled “Into the Valley.” If you thought the party was going to stop with the original, than you should hold on to your hats, as the electro two-piece YACHT have gone ahead and remixed the track. Take a listen/download the track, but first check out what YACHT had to say about the remix:

“We’ve been waiting for the chance to return the favor and make a remix for Classixx ever since the amazing Psychic City remix they made for us. We like to make remixes that really alter the structure and sometimes message of the original, while maintaining the overall spirit inside. ‘Into the Valley’ has one of the most inspired vocals that we’ve heard in recent memory. It was an honor to make/break this song.”

With veiled faces, and a sound that is difficult to put your figure on, Is Tropical have released the single “The Greeks”, which can be found on the London trio’s debut effort, due out on June 13th. The band describes themselves as “bass heavy, beat driven, pop-influenced lo-fi dance music,” but take a listen to “The Greeks” and see for yourself.
