Got a new artist on my radar! Rewards is the moniker that Aaron Pfenning, former member of New York’s Chairlift, chose for his solo project when he left the band in 2010 to purse a solo career. His first single, Equal Dreams featuring Solange Knowles, was released earlier this year by DFA Records. Although an album release date hasn’t been pinned down, Aaron has been keeping busy by touring with We Are Scientists & Warpaint while also collaborating with Dev of Blood Orange for his new album. Rewards is definitely a creative departure from Chairlift, producing a warmer, dreamier vibe with its layers of guitar & synth. Keeping an eye on this guy cause I like what he’s puttin’ out!

Mylo – Ecstasy Passion & Pain Discomix Nov 2011
HOLY SHIZ!!!! Mylo’s new mixtape is so clean.
Top 5 artists I still need to see and I’m dreaming of the bad things I’d do to attend this event.
Beyond jeal.
NIki & The Dove – Mother Protect (Goldroom Remix)
One of the standout tracks on The Magician’s Magic Tape 17. Goldroom hails from LA and is the solo project from Josh Legg, of NightWaves fame.

Mickey Moonlight And The Time Axis Manipulation Corporation LP has finally landed via Ed Banger Records, and this is by far my favorite track.
Foster the People – Call It What You Want (Treasure Fingers Pre – Party Radio Edit)
Brodinski – Let The Beat Control Your Body (ft. Louisahhh!)

Vibe Radar is taking its talents to South America for 100 days starting next month! In honor of our big move, here’s a sweet remix by Mariano Iliuta, aka Toomy Disco. The 22 year old producer resides in Buenos Aires, Argentina and knows how to get people moving.
Citizens! – True Romance (Gigamesh Remix)

The day I look forward to the most is the day The Magician releases another Magic Tape.
Today is that day.
There are some amazing gems in here like the Goldroom remix of Niki & The Dove, Plastic Plates remix of Katy Perry, TEED remix of Lady Gaga, and Stephen rounds it out with Halo & Kemal.
