We previously featured Amiland‘s wonderful blending of Nas and Beck in ‘Life’s A Bitch, Loser‘. Well, the Illinois native is back on these pages with a new offering to wet your aural palette.

This time he pinches everyones favourite indie rock anthem ‘Float On‘ and adds Missy‘s boisterous ‘Get Ur Freak On‘ to create another kick-ass blend. Looking forward to more mixes soon. TRACKS: Amiland – Get Your Float On (Missy Elliot vs. Modest Mouse)

On Thursday the 4th of November music collectives Greco Roman and Moda are presenting Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs latest EP ‘The Household Goods‘ launch party. Live from The City Arts & Music Project in Shoreditch you can expect his very own dancing dinoasaurs on stage.

If you haven’t heard Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs is the newest and most exciting thing to hit the electro scene this year. His sound is up upbeat and melodic with feather light vocal touches. It’s got the space and feel of The XX with the dance roots of Crystal Castles. His latest single ‘Garden’, featuring Louisa from Lulu And The Lampshades, even throws in a few pop references just to be safe.

Come down to fulfill your Jurassic Park fantasies.

‘Boats‘ is the latest musical export from Dublin duo Conor and Eimer Devlin aka [The] Caseworker. The duo aren’t famed for their rapid record production averaging a release every 2-3 years but the results are timeless and tender with an easy- breezy, drive-time escapism feel.

Indeed the inspiration for this came from driving over San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and it’s not hard to see why; just listen to the track for a few seconds and you’ll instantly be transported to feeling like your in the backseat of a car staring out onto a bluish grey day as buildings and that glorious bridge cross your window pane.

The duo’s vocals fuse beautifully on this track to create an androgynous output that so economical it’s soothing and although they don’t often veer off on any unexpected curves, it is if nothing else, perfectly peaceful indie pop, and well worth a listen.

‘Boats‘ is out now on Indiecater Records.
