Indie group Hey Champ (previously signed under Lupe Fiasco’s label FNF) just leaked a brand new track from their upcoming remix project w/ dubFrequency. Taking the vocals from one of my personal favorites from Gone Fishing — “Champions” — Hey Champ mashes together a concoction of 80s pop and funk as background to match. Definitely an interesting sound to hear The Cool Kids on since we’re all so used to their signature yet minimal drum beats. Take a listen here and look out for the rest of the project soon (rumored appearances include Mike Posner, The Sounds, and others)…
After finishing up a lengthy tour with No Doubt, The Sounds will be embarking on their own tour in the U.S.
Chromeo, Canada’s top purveyors of new school funk and 80s soul revivalists, have been tabbed to compile the next edition of the esteemed DJ Kicks mix series. They’re even stepping up and giving away a free download of their cover of The Eagles’ “I Can’t Tell You Why” which you can nab by providing an e-mail address at chromeo-dj-kicks.com.
With their mix of early 80s disco and R&B they join other artists like Kruder & Dorfmeister, Tiga, Hot Chip and Booka Shade who have had their own fun under the DJ Kicks banner. Expect to hear the sounds of Leo Sayer, The Alan Parsons Project and others in Chromeo’s mix.
