LOVE AT FIRST LISTEN - The Sounds - Beatbox (Hey Champ Remix)
Bubblegum disco pop perfection - ignore the first minute if you want but once the vocal kicks in…tell me that chorus isn’t fantastically infectious in a sunny-summer-day-kinda-way.  If you’re not singing “So turn it up…and break it DOWN…come on bring that beatbox back!” after the first time you hear this, then you are a cold, cold robot.  :)   These externally-hosted mp3s take a while to load in the Tumblr audio player above (30 seconds or so) so here’s another PLAY link.  Download this track below!

BONUS TRACKS:
Hey Champ
Hey Champ is a production trio from Chicago, and I definitely have my eye on them.  Check these out:
Beaches and Friends - French Horn Rebellion (Hey Champs Remix)
A summery groove that kicks in with waves and seagulls and even layers the occasional synthy “ah!”  The chorus of “beaches and friends” makes you wish you never had to work again.  (PLAY)
Cold Dust Girl - Hey Champ
Takes a little U2-New Year’s Day and some New Order -True Faith and mixes them into a simmering electropop single. (PLAY)
Getting You Off - 80kidz (featuring Hey Champ)
I hear great things about 80kidz and intend to check them out.  Meanwhile, another fun filtery happy song in the rotation. (PLAY)

The Sounds
“Beatbox” is from The Sounds’ new record “Crossing the Rubicon.”  Here are a couple other highlights from that release -
The Sounds - No One Sleeps When I’m Awake (PLAY) 
Love the 80s Blondie vibe.
The Sounds - Dorchester Hotel  (PLAY)
Solid track, not exactly addictive but still makes the cut.
