Class Actress

Brooklyn-based electro-pop trio Class Actress is Elizabeth Harper, Scott Rosenthal and Mark Richardson.  I'm captivated by the title track of the 2010 EP, Journal of Ardency.  Here it is along with another track off the EP.  The production work is pretty damn sexy.

EUC (Brooklyn!)

I've been sitting on this for too long.  I'll blame it on the many many distractions here in London.  But, bringing it back home, here's the latest from Brooklyn's own EUC (Electric Umbilical Cord), off their brand spanking new The Prey EP.  Wes and Cory are my home boys, so give these two some love.  Even if they weren't their beats and new take on post punk is rather infectious.  Start dancing in the dark...

The Hundred In The Hands

I have the biggest crush on ELEANORE EVERDELL'S VOICE! HOT! The Hundred In The Hands straight out Brooklyn just signed with Warp Records and are out with a new EP titled 'This Desert' that kills it! I REALLY LOVE IT. I picked my 3 faves below but it was a tough call as every song is good! For my Cali & NYC peeps - they are touring in your respective hoods next week so I would go to a show if you can make it! Do it for me! Love from Sydney x

Aislyn

Aislyn is the side project of Passion Pit keyboardist, Ian Hultquist and his girlfriend Sofia Degli Alessandri.  The Brooklyn couple produce original music as well as remixes.  Always a fan of a good remix, here are two of my favorites.

Body Language

Brooklyn's own Body Language is Angelica Bess, Ian Chang, Grant Wheeler & Matthew Young, a four-piece that cut their teeth as a Brooklyn party act and remixing the likes of Passion Pit and Theophilus London, who they also backed up live on his tour, dressed as The Lovers. Back now to doing their own thing, with a LP out soon, the electronic indie crossover act is worth keeping track of.

Here's two remixed Body Language tracks. The Toro y Moi mix of "At A Glance" is laid back, while the Sammy Bananas and Yes Giantess mixes of "Work This City" are cut out for the late night house-party dance-party...aka, the best kind of dance party.
