| Description |
Production duo Holy Ghost! have proved themselves worthy of the exclamation point. As a pair, Alex Frankel and Nick Milliser whip up a propulsive stew of disco beats and electro throb anchored by white soul vocals, making them a living mash-up of Simian Mobile Disco and Chromeo. Even if you haven't seen 'em before, you've probably danced to their beat, either via their stint as touring members of the Juan MacLean or one of their numerous remixes (Moby, MGMT, Cut Copy et al.). Their Brooklyn neighbors, Chairlift, take an artier approach — preferring soupy atmosphere, distorted instrumentation and nostalgic synth sounds — but offer up an equally poppy, highly danceable groove. Meanwhile, Futurecop! shamelessly basks in a bevy of '80s influences, from video game music to Top 40 radio.
