filthy

Groovin, upbeat electronic track from   Filthy Dukes which proudly displays their love of 80’s synths and drum machines.     This track can be found on their full length album, “Nonsense In The Dark”.

Bio from last.fm:

Filthy Dukes are an alternative electronic band from London, UK.

Filthy Dukes were originally the duo, Olly Dixon and Tim Lawton. For the past five years they have deejayed around the world and promoted a club night called Kill Em All at fabric in London.

Music on thesixtyone.com: FM Belfast, Passenger,Kid A, Red Sky Lullaby, and many more…

Wanted to highlight a site I visit daily for new music called Thesixtyone.com. It’s a site where musicians and bands upload their tunes for bumps/hearts to have their tracks more less voted to the top of the boards. Similar to Digg, but for music. Seriously, it’s a great site with even greater content.

Here are some of the many tracks I have found thesixtyone.com :

kid_a

Kid A

KiD A – Smudge (CINEMAX)

red-sky-lullaby

Red Sky Lullaby

Down and dirty track with a killer chorus hook from Dasan Ahanu, “To Get To You”. The Rap style of Kalu James on this track reminds me of Del The Funky Homosapien from the Gorillaz. Great Track!

Red Sky Lullaby – Love Sick (ft. Dasan Ahanu and Kalu James)

fm_belfast

FM Belfast

Produces wonderfully “old school” electronic music in the vein of Kraftwerk and earlier works of LadyTron. At times the music reminds me of Komputer but with a more playful bounce (think Tom Tom Club).

FM Belfast – Underwear

FM Belfast – VHS

marryathief

Marry A Thief

Has Postal Service sentiments with Imogen Heap soundscapes, not a bad combo at all.
Marry A Thief – Honestly Bored

anjulie

Anjulie

For those who enjoy Lilly Allen, like myself, will dig this track from Anjulie. Anjulie mixes 60’s soul, pop, and electronic elements for a swaying melchonly tune.
Anjulie – Addicted 2 Me

passenger

Passenger

Imaging an old smiths tune married to 60’s soul music and you’ll have Passenger.

Passenger – Walk You Home
