The xx : On Hold

A bold and blasphemous move to sample Hall & Oates “I Can’t Go For That” but the xx somehow do it in a fun and tasteful manner.

Lunice – Out of Touch

Lunice is a 21 year old Montreal native producer on Glasgow’s LuckyMe Records. I witnessed him DJ last week in NYC at the LuckyMe showcase at 88 Palace and I must say he was one of the most entertaining and energetic DJs I have seen in quite a while. He dropped everything from Flying Lotus to Beyonce “Diva” and Gucci Mane and this gem of a track of his that samples Hall & Oates’ “Out Of Touch”. I am a Hall & Oates purist and believe that their music should not be remixed or sampled but this is the most tasteful uses of a Hall & Oates track I have heard.

Chromeo – Don’t Turn The Lights On

It seems that hanging out with Daryl Hall has rubbed off on the Chromeo boys. “Don’t Turn The Lights On” is the first single off of “Business Casual” which sounds like their version of “I Can’t Go For That” – which I feel is amazing. Every band should aspire to write tunes like Hall & Oates.
