Underworld is a British electronic group hailing from England. After forming in 1980, the group became known for their visual style and dynamic live performances. This black and white video for their new song, Nylon Strung, shows images of faces and hands while their melodic electronica plays in the background. This conceptual video is both interesting and hypnotic and showcases their ability to make their artistic vision a reality.
Nylon Strung is taken from Underworld’s new album ‘Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future’, out now.
Formed at a party in 2009, heavy metal singer Max and DJ Wawashi fuse their seemingly incompatible styles to make the disco duo Hard Ton. The mix of Sylvester-styled falsettos and contemporary beats make for music that reminds the listener of the past while moving them to dance in the present. The video features an epic battle between Karl Lagerfeld and a multi-eyed monster, fought with lasers, fireballs, and perfume. Check it out and tell us what you think!
Formed in New York City in 2010, Parquet Courts is our favorite quirky to rock band to spin during our Hunnypot DJ Sets! With their new album Human Performance, the band takes on a slightly more mature sound, mixing their iconic eccentricities and feedback with elevated lyricism and implied political nuances that may originate from their time in the DIY punk scene. Sensitive and odd, their new video features a puppet party that makes the viewer uncomfortable enough to think. Check it out and tell us what you think!

Bronson Wisconsin is a tasteful collaboration of Alt-Country, Indie-Rock, and everything in between. Growing up as one of 9 kids in a musically diverse home, brothers Bronson and Preston was exposed to all the music they could handle and more than enough instruments needed to express themselves. Spending the long, cold Wisconsin winters the same way they spent the hot and beautiful summers, practicing their craft.
After achieving success as the globally recognized latin duo, Taalbi Brothers, Bronson went on expressing a different side of himself as a singer and as a songwriter. What started out as a "one day one song" demoing session, quickly turned into "3 days, 6 songs" and before they realized it, the brothers had themselves their first EP as Bronson Wisconsin.
"That Damn Piano" is releasing on Friday, June 10th in Bronson Wisconsin's hometown of Madison, WI.

In 2014, singer/songwriter Georgia and producer DWhiz collaborated to create the duo LiiNKS. Hailing from Canada, they combine Georgia’s haunting vocals with DWhiz’s cinematic beats. This electronic-pop sound is exemplified in their new music video for the song “This Feeling”. When asked about inspiration for the song, Georgia stated, “all our songs come from personal experience and this tune is about falling in love with an understanding that nothing lasts forever. Nothing stays easy and we just wanted to write about those love-at -first-site feelings and wanting to hold on to them forever.”
Recently LiiNKS was featured on several high profile electronic viral hits with artists Datsik, Mord Fustang and Ephwurd which combined have had over 3 million plays online. Their most recent collaboration was with Datsik and Blink 182’s Travis Barker on the song Dark Star that LiiNKS co-wrote and features Georgia on vocals. LiiNKS is currently writing and recording in LA and working on their debut EP set for release in late 2016.

Based in Glasgow, Scotland DBFC is composed of Dombrance, David Shaw, Antoine Reininger and Guillaume Rossel and together they are a fusion of Disco, House, Techno, Indie, Post Punk, New Wave and most things in between! In their own words "DBFC has no strategy, DBFC is not interested in any political lies or promises, DBFC is inspired by the spontaneous combustion of the sixties and the endless possibilities of dance music, DBFC is not afraid to be accused of being schizophrenic nor longing to be praised for its diversity, DBFC refuses to choose between making dance records or rock records" The song Autonomic in particular is very reminiscent of an 80s sound with a New Disco vibe and a throwback style of 4:3 aspect ratio with a lower resolution opposed to the traditional widescreen almost all videos are shot in today. I don't think this is unintentional it clearly is meant to fit the vibe of the song and the stock footage while seemingly random chromatically fits the song as it progresses through the video.
From Los Angeles, CA Jasmine Jordan explores the different facets of love coming from a strong, confident, yet still imperfect person, to create rich stories that are heartfelt and empowering. Incorporating the soulfulness of Groove Theory, the sweetness of early Mariah Carey, and the sexiness and edge of Aaliyah, Jasmine stands out in the trending alternative pool with her timeless lyrics and sound. Jordan just released her 'Things Change' EP this year and followed it with a tour around California. Her Single 'Man Down' is a raw emotion felt vocal with crying guitar in the bridge. The song evokes the pain of loss but also conveys that the pain is only temporary and you must move on.
CC Dust is a new synth-pop duo consisting of Mary Jane Dunphe of Olympia, Washington's Vexx and Laurent Dagnicour. Their debut single, "Never Going To Die" showcases the duo's love of both dancing and electronic beats. Although Dunphe is known for her punk influence as a frontwoman, she clearly lets loose in this new project. In the video, she triumphantly dances near water as cosmic synths bump in the background. This is the kind of airy, dreamy, synth music you would want to be dancing to all night.
