Charlie XCX - What I Like (Com Truise Remix)

British electronic pop artist Charlie XCX has recently been remixed by no other than that of Com Truise. Com Truise mixes it to bring a more interesting electronic edge to the track with his signature 80s synth mixing and pulls away from the pop edge with the added dynamics. The track is a very good listen and well worth it so put your ears to this track. You can find the remix over at Under the Influence Charlie XCX - What I Like (Com Truise Remix). Watch the original video below for referencing the original release.

Inga Copeland - Higher Ground Mixtape (Free)

Inga Copeland is somebody you might remember from her collaboration with Dean Blunt last year as Hype Williams. She recently released a free mixtape titled Higher Ground. I have not myself had the pleasure of listening to it but based off of the incredible record last year as Hype Williams you can bet this mixtape is on my radar and should be on yours. It is a quick 20 minute listen and I'm sure well worth it. Give it a listen and see what you think for yourself. You can grab it right now over at Tiny Mix Tapes Higher Ground Mixtape.

Mount Kimbie - You Took Your Time

Mount Kimbie released another single off of the forthcoming record, Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, which will be released this next Tuesday. The single, You Took Your Time, goes to show that electronic music makes great backing for rap vocals with King Krule laying down some lines over the Kimbie created track. The single is a new sound for Kimbie and is open for interpretation as it seems like fans will be on the fence over this track. Put your ears to this track and see what you think for yourself.

Boards of Canada - Reach For The Dead

Scottish duo Boards of Canada is set to release their first new set of tracks in over seven years on June 11th.    The first single released from the new album, Tomorrow's Harvest, was debuted in Japan last week on a big screen in Tokyo. Reach for the Dead, the new single shows fans that Boards of Canada have not lost their knack for creating the incredible electronic music that they do. Give the track a listen and let your ears decide what you think of the new song.

Troller - Troller

Austin band Troller is set to re-release their self titled album on vinyl in a limited run of 300 via Holodeck records. This record had a dark, drone, electronica sound to it which creates an interesting depth to tracks. I recommend this record to anyone willing to give it a listen. Put your ears to a track and see what you think for yourself.

Big Summer - Bone and Arrow

Stumbled upon this group through a friend called Big Summer which based on the little information I could discover is a new group out of Barcelona. The band has put out an EP titled, Bone and Arrow via bandcamp. I must saw these guys are worth checking out as this dream pop EP will serve you very nicely paired up with this nice sunny weather. Weather excluded, this garage rock group uses the pleasant reverb guitars an vocals to create a lush hazy mix that is very enjoyable. I highly recommend the listen so put your ears to a track and see what you think for yourself.

Dom Recording New Tracks

Indie pop rock group Dom has so far released two fantastic EPs but has not put out some new music since the release of Family of Love back in August of 2011. Recently I wondered to myself when this group would put out some new music, as so far to date I have not been disappointed yet and sure enough, much to my surprise my answer has been partially answered. Although no details have been disclosed yet on the release new music will be out soon as posted by the band earlier yesterday. The band posted a quick snippet of a track along with a hashtag hinting at a possible record title, Hyper Fantasy???. Hear the snippet over at Vine (Dom).
