The Ian Carey Project's 'Get Shaky' is one of the more ear-snagging house tracks I've heard in quite some time. Carey's brand of "electronic superfunk" is in full force on this schoolyard dance party. Lyrics such as, "Baby go crazy, break the rules," say just about everything you need to know to get your own rave going.
This reviewer will be out celebrating a birthday over the weekend. I plan on getting a little shaky, myself. And now you can too...

Ali - 'Boughetto'
What can I say, this song is simply awesome. During my college days there were certainly times where my buds and I cruised around campus blaring this song on infinite loop.
Check out the hip hop classic, 'Boughetto,' below:
Boughetto - Ali
Paperboy - 'Ditty'
'Ditty' was the catchy one hit wonder for Paperboy. Perhaps it's most addicting quality is the song's liberal looping of a funky sample from Zapp's 'Doo Wa Ditty (Blow That Thing).'You can stream this nineties classic below.

Jaydiohead: The Jay-Z/Radiohead Mash-Ups
First it was Jay-Z and The Beatles. And only a few months ago, Coldplay released a more flavorful Jay-Z version of 'Lost,' which in turn inspired Viva La Hova, the Jay-Z/Coldplay mash-ups. Now, DJ Minty Fresh has added yet another mash to the Jay-Z/(insert rock band here) repertoire.Jaydiohead, as the name suggests, is Jay-Z + Radiohead. The mixtape is brilliantly put together, and is currently rocking my iPod. You can check out Jaydiohead's official site here. From there, you can download the mixes for yourself.
Below, find the full stream to the entire compilation:

Metronomy - 'Heartbreaker'

Britain's Metronomy is at the height of its game on the indietastic, dance-rock anthem, 'Heartbreaker.'
Squelching keyboards and a funky bassline lay the foundation for frontman Joseph Mount's reassuring lyrics. Tired of constantly having to pick his friend up after heartache, Mount sings, "I've been down, time and time again. The girl's no good, for me and you. She hurts me too."
It's a pretty spot-on ode to bromance for anyone who's ever played the sounding board in a friendship.
The track breaks down into a groove of handclaps and saxophone, with whistling to boot! It's definitely one of the catchier tunes I've heard in the past few months.
Metronomy just released its sophomore album, Nights Out in September. Give 'Heartbreaker' a spin below, and visit Metronomy's official website and myspace to check out more from the band.

Want to Know Why We Haven't Been Updating?
Recently, we've had a couple of our posts, featuring non-downloadable streams of some of our favorite songs, taken down by our blog host. Because our blog is hosted by a third party, we were provided no notice.
Apparently, the problem isn't isolated. Drowned in Sound recently posted this, journaling the phenomenon. With that said, we're evaluating the direction the blog shall go into the future.
Thanks for your patience.
