Let The Night /  by E

       Dirty Vegas was in the business of EDM before it was cool and, with their latest single, the band proves that they are still the best in the business. Their Let The Night EP was released January 24 (except in North America, where you can only get the lead single from beatport [along with remixes from Vanilla Ace, Sharam Jey, and Betoko]) and the lead single could not be better.
       "Take a look at yourself, you're going somewhere, such a beautiful thing when it feels right, no it's never too late to believe in something, open your eyes, see what the world is saying" opens the song articulately while beats that are both relaxed and upbeat ooze out of the track. The song pulses with energy and insists that you dance around while the wandering melody and steady rhythm are pulled together nicely by the repetition of "let the night follow you" and "you should see how good you look right now"; this single, in its entirety, is kind of perfect.

Riptide /  by E

       Vance Joy's "Riptide" from his God Loves When You're Dancing EP is the free single of the week on iTunes and, with lines like "I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations", "this cowboy's running from himself", and "I just wanna know if you're gonna stay, I just gotta know, I can't have it any other way" supported by that gorgeous acoustic guitar, you have no excuse not to get this song (if you don't already have it) while it's free.

Battering Ram /  by E

       The Pack A.D. released Do Not Engage today and each track is just as wonderfully addictive as the last. The melodies are easy to go along with and the rhythm is strong enough to grab you and pull you down into the song within seconds while those vocals are so prominent and rich that you'll be wondering how it's possible that this band has yet to take over your playlists. 
       Watch the video below for a track from Do Not Engage and get the new album from iTunes today (then listen to it on repeat). Check out another single from the album, "Big Shot", for something that will be running through your head all day.
