Danimals – Fox (Produced by Mark Ronson)

Danimals are a lucky Australian band that were winners handpicked by Mark Ronson himself for The Lab an initiative set up by Australia’s own Tooheys Extra Dry. With the help of Mark Ronson taking the production reigns, Danimals were able to craft and capture a 60s pop psychedelic sound that evokes The Kinks, The Beach Boys, and the Zombies to name a few. This tune is a project that tapped into all the star studded resources they could. Just take a look at the credits. Sean Lennon even stopped by to lend his ear to the project. What an exciting opportunity for this band – goes to show you what having a team behind you with resources can yield.

Hey Champ Sign to 1st and 15th


So for the past few weeks I have been rocking out to Hey Champ’s “Cold Dust Girl” on repeat, such catchy pop goodness. Lupe Fiasco has been raving about them since they are a hometown Chicago act and recently signed them to his label 1st and 15th, another Ivy League Indie Rock band signed by a hip hop superstar.

I then stumbled upon Hey Champ DJs’ Retrosexual and Electrosexual mixes that they released sometime this time last year. I fell in love with one of their original tracks, “Sugar Daddy” which has this old school French Touch sound, something that Le Knight Club would produce. Great use of samples and filters.

Here is another track by the band that has that Midnight Juggernauts synth feel but with a Depeche Mode/Duran Duran pop touch.
