I currently don't have any tunes that I'm that hype about.

Apart from the following two bangers:

Justin Faust's remix of 'With You', which is a lot more intense and dance-powered than his usual mellow stuff. Having said that, it's not too noisy. Faust blends the nice soft side of his music with a pacier funked-up bass and pounding drum pattern to create a sexy little dance song. Noice with an extra 'o'.
Then you have The Aston Shuffle, who I've loved since that awesome Grafton Primary remix, with a tasty new tune. Stabby synths and souped up 80s bits and bobs are laced all over 'Do You Want More', but it retains quite a sharp and bangerrific edge to go with the bounciness.

And while we're on the subject of bangers - how good is that Villains remix of 'She Wolf'?
Very good.

Probably almost as good as that DatA remix of La Roux I keep banging on about.

Indielicious

Indiieeee.

I haven't posted any indie/alternative stuff in a while. Probably because nobody wants it and if they did they'd be over at PTST getting it from someone who actually knows their stuff.

But whatever. I feel like I have to post a bit of Mew just because they're so bloody awesome. 'Repeater Beater' is still my indie tune of the summer, and possibly will be for every summer ever. Out of all their tracks it's the one where I think the light vocals sit most comfortably. Plus the drumming is superb (hence the track name?).

I also feel like being a bit poppy. Former Child Stars is a terrible name, but don't judge a band by it's shit name. Judge it by it's brand of catchy, trebletastic indie-pop. Even if you don't like 'Safe In Silence', you'll probably be singing the chorus for most of the week - it is ridiculously infectious.
