[Listen] Giraffage Remixes Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You"

As the May 21st release date of Random Access Memories approaches, I've been digging into all my old Daft Punk records in anticipation. That also includes all of the duo's side projects, like Together and Stardust. Seems like I'm not the only one doing so. San Francisco producer Giraffage takes Stardust's famous single "Music Sounds Better With You" and gives it a fresh spin, turning what was originally a disco-inspired house banger into a chilled-out atmospheric cut. Consider this classic track revitalized.

[Listen] Stream Thundercat's New Single "Oh Sheit It's X"

Stephen Bruner (aka Thundercat) gives us another sampling of his upcoming sophomore album Apocalypse with the awesome, funky jam "Oh Sheit It's X." It's a great track underlined with a groovy bassline and spacey synthesizers, as well as some solid vocals from Bruner—"Oh shit, I fucked up." The title alone is fantastic. Stream it below.

Apocalypse is out digitally on June 4th and physically on July 9th.

[Listen] The 1975 - "Haunt // Bed"

Given the fact a year ago nobody knew who The 1975 were I think they've done damn well to get where they are now. They've announced a string of ever bigger shows and have already released an impressive array of EP's (Sex, Facedown, Music For Cars), and later this year will drop their first full length. Today, ahead of their new EP IV's launch, Hunger TV have gotten their hand on an exclusive stream of "Haunt // Bed" which is the second track we've had to enjoy from the new EP. It follows up the impressive new version of "The City" let loose last month. Check it out below and keep your eyes and ears peeled for more from the band in the coming month.

IV is released on May 20th and it's available to pre-order over here.
