Yale No One Else Knows YALE BOYS DONT NEED TO GO TO YALE TO MAKE MUSIC [FREE MP3]

Aussie fellas Yale have their fingers on the pulse when it comes to making the funkiest of tunes. You may have noticed a slight surge in electro-funk sounds since Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories surfaced, and these “Brisbanites” are holding up this delicious trend. The duo, Stefan Emslie and Mark Maxwell, have created a royal buzz for themselves with this single ‘No One Else Knows’ with soaring feedback from various Triple J big guns and blogs from all over the world. From [READ ON]

!!!’S PERFECTLY FUNKY TRACK ‘ONE GIRL/ONE BOY’ [STREAM]

chkchkchk1 620x413 !!!S PERFECTLY FUNKY TRACK ONE GIRL/ONE BOY [STREAM]

Did you like Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories? How about the new Phoenix album? If I’m hearing an overwhelming “yes” to either of these questions, here’s another track to add to your favorites list. New York funk geniuses !!! (Chk Chk Chk) dropped their latest album, THR!!!ER, earlier in the year, containing one of the catchiest bass lines, sexiest grooves and overall most danceable tracks I’ve heard in a while. That song, titled “One Girl/One Boy”, is bursting at the seams with summery, jive-worthy bass parts, a catchy, divalicious vocal section by Sonia Moore and a lot of general feel good vibes. With their change in sound from dance-punk to pure dance-funk, I think you’ll be hearing these tunes a lot during warmer seasons!

So…after all the hype, preview videos, tracklist reveals, collaborator interviews and feverish anticipation, Daft Punk’s fourth studio album, Random Access Memories, has finally landed. After a masterclass in prolonged promotion, does the record match the anticipation? Has it been worth the wait? The straightforward answer to that question is yes! It has indeed been worth the wait. With that satisfaction, however, comes a couple of complications — this record is, in many ways, not the release [READ ON]

LISTEN TO DAUGHTER’S DAFT PUNK COVER OF ‘GET LUCKY’ [STREAM]

daughter1 LISTEN TO DAUGHTERS DAFT PUNK COVER OF GET LUCKY [STREAM]

One of our absolute favorites, Daughter, just dropped another chill-inducing cover, this time of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky”. The original may be disco-fabulous and feature Pharrell Williams, but this version is stripped and striking like only Daughter can manage. The slower, more restrained cover hits your ears from a whole new angle, going from dance jam to insightful and melancholy —  and Daughter does melancholy better [READ ON]

Update (4/15/13): While this is indeed Daft Punk, this was created by someone who looped the commercial.  A taste, yes. But the final product? No.
