STAPLE TRACKS PT. 1

NYC collective The Phenomenal Handclap Band are an 8-piece band, with a variety of special guests.

Led by Daniel Collás and Sean Marquand, (producers/musicians/pals/DJs), the band released an incredibly amazing remix album for “15 to 20″/”You’ll Disappear” recently, out on Friendly Fire Recordings.

The remix is entirely different from the original track, but it definitely gets the thumbs up from us.

French girl band Plastiscines were one of the first few signings on Nylon Records in the USA and they have supported Little Boots on tour the past few months.

They may hail from Sydney, but this elusive band relocated to London and have been holed away in the Welsh mountains with Bat for Lashes producer David Kosten to record their highly anticipated, upcoming album, to be released in early 2010.

Over the past few weeks, Phoenix’s friends have teamed up with them to remix a couple of their tracks from their album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.

We have been spinning Relation non-stop the past few months and it never fails to invite inquisition from the crowd whenever it gets played.
