“Madhubala” (“Sweet Girl” in English) is classic Bollywood song updated for a new generation. This single comes from the soundtrack of the recent movie “Mere Brother Ki Dulhan” (Hindi for “My Brother’s Wife”) Like any good Shakespearean comedy, the story revolves around mishaps on the way to the altar and ends with more than one marriage.

Off of his seventh album, “Coco,” comes Parov Stelar’s song “
Catgroove,” and despite the fortunate connotations of the number of this album, certainly more than luck went into the production of the track. It’s difficult to tell whether the song fits better in a Parisian discotheque or a situation where flappers smoked cigarettes, gathered around bathtub gin; regardless, it is an interesting track.

Welcome to the weekend, brought to you this week by Waze & Odyssey, who serve up a banger with their remix of ‘Your Love.’ The producer-DJ duo puts a funky nu disco spin on the track from TEED’s debut album, and the result is decidedly better than the original. Luckily for you, it’s been released just in time for your post-Halloween-party listening pleasure. Listen after the jump!
Two years is an awfully long time to hold your breath. Nearly two whole years – that’s how long it has been since Jai Paul’s last (and his only) song was released. Since the falsetto menace of that first demo, “BTSTU,” happened to find itself caught on the web, it has been played in sets by Thom Yorke and even sampled by Drake. Still, no new material from Jai Paul himself in all that time – no album, no EP, not even a meager single. Until now.
If you’re looking for some good dance music, you’ve come to the right place. The Knock’s new EP, “Magic,” consists of six songs designed for the sole purpose of getting you up and moving. Admittedly, the first time I heard The Knocks was at 11 pm on a Thursday night at U Street Music Hall so obviously I thought they were great. But, even outside of such a setting, their new EP is enjoyable.
Body Talk Part 2 is the 6th studio album and the 2nd album in the Body Talk trilogy by Swedish dancehall queen Robyn. The album has claimed instant success in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. While her Europop flair is a European club staple, Robyn has had a tough time breaking into the US music scene. Body Talk Pt. 2 embodies Robyn’s vivid, unique, and innovative personality through the lyrics laid over synth-driven beats.The listener is taken on a wacky journey: from the spacey sounds and lighter-than-air quality of her voice on the track “In My Eyes” to her sassy, pseudo-hip-hop flow in “Include Me Out”, “You Shoulda Known Better”, and “Criminal Intent.” Read More »
