The pair made this exclusive dance mix of URB that runs the gamut from Boney M to Iggy Pop. Full tracklist after jump.

Perry Farrell interview

Perry Farrell, the ‘godfather’ of alt-rock, might soon have a new moniker to honor his strides in…electronic music? Yes, Farrell’s still a part of Satellite Party and Jane’s Addiction, but he’s also integrated a sizeable DJ area at Lollapalooza, performed live with Paul Van Dyk and Moby, played at Cochella under DJ Peretz and has a live electro act with wife Etty Farrell. While it seems surreal to chat blogs and The Bloody Beetroots with a man who’s famous for an extensive rock-based career, make no mistake about it, Farrell knows what he’s talking about. In fact, with every passing day, he’s becoming increasingly entrenched in the dance scene and collaborating with some of the biggest names in the business. Here for URB, Perry talks about DJ culture, the future of bands and finding his way in …

FRIENDLY FIRES: Post-Hardcore High School Band to Indie-Pop Darlings

Interview with Friendly Fires 

Friendly Fires have been making music since they were teenagers. Ed, Edd and Eddy–just kidding, the third member’s name is Jack–met in high school and formed a post-hardcore band, First Day Back. However, they evolved into a pop band shortly after leaving university and began to take inspiration in their music from Kompakt, Carl Craig and Prince, leaving their hard-rock beginnings behind. Always having been listeners of many genres, the Fires understand and appreciate music to the fullest, so it was only natural for a conversation to go on a tangent about pop music before they were swiftly scooped up by their publicist for another interview.

PASSION PIT: The Simple Road to Success

Interview with Drummer Nate Donmoyer 

Passion Pit is not shy about admitting the simplicity of its success. Rather than taking a preaching tone and explaining how hard they worked to come up with such a unique sound, Passion Pit’s drummer Nate simply states that everything came together perfectly without any real type of difficulty or stress. This effortlessness could help make sense of Passion Pit’s multi-layered genius. Still a young band, Passion Pit formed in 2007 when Michael Angelakos became aware that his solo project would be a hell of a lot more interesting with a band. Lucky for Michael, he was able to recruit some brilliant musicians to fill his void, and together the band started gaining buzz from BBC, CMJ, MTV, and many more.

Interview + Lykke Li (Video)

Lykke Li is not happy. Not in the sense that she is depressed, but in the sense that she is frustrated with her life presently. The 23-year old sweedish singer responsible for underground-gone-mainstream hits such as “Little Bit”, “Dance, Dance, Dance” and “Let It Fall”, has been touring for what seems like ages, and she is tired of it. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t still in good spirits. I meet her in one of the only shady areas of Grant Park (home of Lollapalooza) that day, the media tent. This has to be one of the hottest days of the year, but Lykke doesn’t seem to be phased at all. Looking quite fashionable and calm, she sits down in the lawn chair across from me. But the biggest suprise about Lykke Li is that she could care less about …
