“Suicide Party” by Ja Prawn (LIVE) from vosotros on Vimeo.

“Vosotros is music for you all.” The latest release from the impeccably eclectic label is Everybody by Ja Prawn.  This is some very cool stuff, surprisingly focused and well structured for how cool it really is.  It’s electro-funk at it’s finest with a thick coat of vintage 80’s gloss.  Vosotros describes Ja Prawn as “a demigod sculpted of synth sludge, apocalyptic sci-fi soundtracks, and pawn shop lo-fi glory.” Each song is an experimental adventure of sound and the album as a whole is a true musical journey, one you’re sure to enjoy.  Check out Everybody below, buy it here.

A message from Little…
Here are a couple of great remixes I recently came across. The first is of the PNAU song “Embrace” which features Ladyhawke who also does the second song. Its a nice little spin on the original song and a good listen. The second song is a remix of an already great Ladyhawke song – “My Delirium”. Check out the video of the original song if you want to see a really cool original video. Sort of reminds me of the A-ha video “Take On Me” because of the animation. I’ll post some more sometime soon. Enjoy, people.
