MuuMuse Approved Tracks for the Week of April 25, 2010

5. The Runaways – Cherry Bomb
Saw the biopic on Wednesday. It wasn’t very good (aside from Dakota Fanning’s spot-on performance), but I’ll be damned if I haven’t been blasting this ever since.
4. Robyn – Cry When You Get Older
Layered electronica and complex rhythms. The dancehall queen takes it to another level yet again.
3. Lolene – Rich (Fake It ‘Til You Make It)
My life’s mantra at the moment.
2. Robyn – Don’t Fucking Tell Me What To Do
This song is killing me. Is it all about the song title? Yes…yes it is.
1. Diana Vickers – Once
The song is not a new addition to my playlists by any means. I am just too proud of this chick for officially hitting #1 on the UK Single Charts today. Congrats, Diana! Totally deserved. Album review coming this week.

Huzzah! An official press release!

Kaskade is releasing his sixth studio album, Dynasty, on April 27 on iTunes (May 11 everywhere else).

The first single from the album will be “Dynasty,” featuring Haley (who’s previously sung on such MuuMuse favorites as “Move For Me” and “I Remember.”) And now, the song:

There we go. As you can hear, it’s still Kaskade at his best, featuring classic beats and waves of emotion. He continues to do no wrong in my eyes.

The single can now be purchased at iTunes here.

Kaskade will be touring the country to promote this release. Click “Read More” to check out the full list of dates he’ll be appearing!

It’s time to get transitive up in this bitch.

I love Kaskade. Kaskade is a member of Late Night Alumni. Therefore, I love me some Late Night Alumni.

But Kaskade or otherwise, I’ve always adored this group. Composed of lead singer Becky Jean Williams, Finn Bjarnson, John Hancock, and Ryan Raddon (Kaskade), Late Night Alumni is a stunning dreamy dance-pop outfit responsible for some the lushest, heaven-sent soundscapes I’ve ever heard (as well as the soundtrack to countless makeup tutorials by Michelle Phan–love her so hard!)

The group’s latest album, Of Birds, Bees, Butterflies, etc., was released digitally in November of last year. However, the physical release just happened on February 2.

To celebrate the album’s physical release, MuuMuse is proud to be giving away TWO COPIES of the album. To win, send a blank e-mail to muumuse@gmail.com with the subject line “ALUMNI,” or send a tweet my way with the phrase “I want to stay up with @muumuse listening to Late Night Alumni!” Two random winners will be selected at 12 p.m. EST on February 24.

And now, enjoy–this is the sound of something beautiful.

Kaskade proves that he literally does no wrong with his remix of “Waves of Change,” the new single stemming from Samantha James‘ long anticipated sophomore record off of Om Records.

Such a dream, I could listen on and on and on…

Lady Gaga‘s “Bad Romance” Remix EP hit iTunes yesterday, including four mixes from Chew Fu, Kaskade, Bimbo Jones, and Skrillex–all of which you can hear at Lala. (I’m loving that site lately!)

My recommendation? Hit the Chew Fu H1N1 Fix first, and let your “free bitch” freak flag fly.

While driving to pick up a friend from the train station last night, I suddenly realized that it was dark, it was snowing, and that I was sort of lost.

So, instead of doing the sensible thing (pulling over and sorting out my GPS), I decided to pop in Kaskade‘s The Om Remixes instead, a remix compilation sent to me by Om Records a few months ago when Kaskade was building up press for his equally immense compilation album that I also wrote about earlier this year, The Grand.

It was clearly the better option of the two.

The Om Remixes are a solid set of throbbing house mixes of underground dance artists, including Colette, Rithma, Naked Music NYC, and Afro Mystik. Alternating between disco bass lines, tribal beats and super lush, chill-out grooves that only Kaskade could provide, the album is a solid representation of the DJ’s abilities and a superb addition to his praiseworthy back catalog.

So please, do yourselves a favor and get it while you can…You never know when you’ll need the perfect escape.

MuuMuse is giving away ONE FOR LACK OF A BETTER NAME CD AND POSTER! To enter, send a blank e-mail to deadmau5@muumuse.com. One winner will be selected at random in one week (10/22) and notified immediately. Don’t wait–enter now! USA residents only please.

For Lack of a Better Name is Deadmau5‘s second studio album, a follow-up to his 2008 award-winning success, Random Album Title.

While Mr. Mouse, a Canadian house DJ, might be best known ’round these parts as one half of the collaboration behind Kaskade‘s genius “Move For Me,” he’s also an accomplished solo artist in his own right, spawning several Juno and Beatport Award wins, as well as a Grammy nomination for his remix of Morgan Page‘s “The Longest Road” in 2009.

“Ghosts ‘N Stuff,” the first single (and very first video for Deadmau5!), provides all the right “Stuff” to get into the Halloween swing of things: Mix some Hi-NRG organ synths, a pumping bass and a ~spooky~ vocal delivery thanks to Rob Swire, and you’ve got yourself a hit–not to mention the makings of a ridiculous music video.

Ever want to know what a night out on the town in the afterlife looks like? Check it out above–I think you’ll find a deeper appreciation ifor what a day in the life of Lindsay Lohan would be like after viewing.

The album is streaming in full at Deadmau5′s MySpace.

Good news, electronica fans! On September 22, Deadmau5 will be releasing his sixth album, For Lack Of A Better Name on Ultra Records.

If the name doesn’t strike you, perhaps the work will: Deadmau5 is most known ’round these parts for his collabo work on Kaskade‘s Strobelite Seduction, including MuuMuse favorites “I Remember” and “Move For Me.”

To this day, my first post about the latter track remains one of the most viewed pages on MuuMuse. Isn’t that crazy?

Then again, “Move For Me” is a brilliant, brilliant song.

Nadia Ali never disappoints.

Today marks the Beatport release of her latest single, “Fine Print” (which will be released on iTunes August 1). Right now, you can hear the track streaming at her MySpace. It’s luscious as any other Ali release–a helping of ethereal nightlife trance a la Kaskade and his side project, Late Night Alumni.

The single precedes the release of her first much anticipated solo album, Embers, due out on September 15. I’m excited!
