Little Dragon - Sunshine
…new @LittleDragon tune.
During one of last week’s episodes of The Daily Show, the Swedish electronic group debuted “Sunshine” in a music video created in conjunction with Absolut Vodka for Absolut Remix, and inspired by the company’s Absolut Punch drink. Sunshine was released June 28 via Peacefrog.
SBTRKT - Wildfire (Ft. Little Dragon)
What we have here is the promise of this decade’s Timbaland...
SBTRKT made his name hiding behind a mask, remixing the likes of M.I.A., Basement Jaxx and Modeselektor. His debut album is paced like a perfect DJ set. The mix of shiny vocals with tight, accelerated textures is steeped deep in a glorious combination of two-step, UK funky, dubstep, US RnB and Chicago house. Add that to the compendium of a killer pop sensibility, infectious bubbling rhythms, unbridled energy and astounding curation from the man in the mask, and what we have here is the promise of this decade’s Timbaland. - Natalie Shaw, BBC Music

Maximum Balloon - If You Return Ft. Little Dragon
Not quite a solo album and not quite a side-project, Maximum Balloon features David Andrew Sitek’s (TV On The Radio’s guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer and sometimes beat-boxer) beat-making, songwriting and collaborative production skills all at once, authored with different singers he calls, “his favorite voices in the world.”
Thick, noisy and wholly funky — everything you’d expect, but with more glam — and bolstered by a star-studded array of guest vocalists including David Byrne, Karen O, Little Dragon, Theophilus London, and Sitek’s TVOTR bandmates. - SPIN.COM
