We Are Blessed And Complete

Sia “Where I Belong (Red Astaire Remix)” – This is the latest mix from Swedish producer Red Astaire, and it could be his best remix to date. Astaire sets Sia’s quiet ballad against the backdrop of a pimp-funk bassline, a disco beat, and plaintive saxophone to great effect, far surpassing the source material. This is going to be released on the forthcoming single for “Where I Belong,” due out in July in the UK.

Greyboy Vs. Quantic (featuring Sharon Jones) “Gotta Be Your Love” – I promise you that you cannot sit still while listening to this; the grooves are just too strong to resist. On this track, California’s Greyboy teams up with Brighton’s soul funk king Quantic and Daptone Records’ brilliant Sharon Jones for one of the finest modern soul tunes that I’ve heard in a long time. (Click here to buy it directly from the label.)

I wish that I could say something better about these two songs, but I’m at a loss today. Both of these songs definitely deserve a better write-up than this! The same goes for the Armand Van Helden track from yesterday – all of these songs are very, very new to me, and I haven’t thought very much about them aside from “brilliant awesome perfect yeah yeah yeah!”

Elsewhere: Into The Groove is the new MP3 blog from the author of the Dirrrty Pop site. As you may have guessed, the emphasis of this blog is on bright and shiny contemporary pop tunes.

Also: If there is anyone in the NYC area who needs a ticket for tomorrow night’s sold out Scissor Sisters show at the Bowery Ballroom, drop me a line. I’ve got an extra.
