For those of you wishing to work on your beach bods, but lacking the musical inspiration to hit the gym, you can stop searching. The Knocks are here to help us get those washboard abs with this upbeat track, Modern Hearts. Step on the treadmill with this song on loop, and you'll push yourself harder than you even thought possible.  

We have no clue where Jesper Samuelson keeps finding his summer inspiration in Sweden, but whatever he's doing is working. Keep dreaming of the beach, Jesper, and we'll keep listening to your tunes!

Los Angeles duo, Bixel Boys, absolutely kill it with their debut EP Love Like This. The title track is a euphoric dance tune with a classic sample from the sultry Faith Evans. In perfect time for Valentine's Day this song is guaranteed to remind you of just how fantastic your lover truly is.

This is a more somber track than those I generally write about, however something about this song is absolutely captivating. Alle Farben effortlessly pairs Daughter’s voice with beats that were made for head-nodding.

This Pixelated remix is a fun dance tune with an absolutely mind-blowing build up. My body loses all control the minute that saxophone meets the piano. Turn up the volume and let your body do its thang. 

As a total sucker for all things Bit Funk, it's no surprise that I can't take his latest release off repeat. I like to think of this song as a friendly reminder that life is a journey and that my seemingly enormous concerns are nothing but small hurdles along the way. 

Bestowing a classic Aaliyah sample, William Phillips aka Tourist makes a minimal magnet with "Your Girl."

As a Bon Iver fan, I'm generally quite critical of any remix, but Stop The Car exceeded all expectations with this remix of "Towers." It's dramatically different from the original yet still maintains the sense of solemnity that defines it.

Steven McKenney, otherwise known as Soul Bells, shares that SoCal feel with us in this smooooooth tune, No More.

Tim Bernhardt, aka Satin Jackets, can do no wrong in my ears.  The oohs and the aahs in this track are just right.  Thanks Tim, you make me feel good.
