Diamond Rings to Release Album Made of Candy

A little more than a year ago, Toronto's Diamond Rings put out the last great pop-song of (that) summer. The track, "All Yr Songs," proved that the glammy-scenester knew his way around pop hooks and kitschy 90s romance. When I got my hands on his upcoming LP, Special Affections, I poured myself a bowl of marshmallows, slapped on some bracelets, and relived the Zach Morris/Kelly Kapowski/AC Slater love triangle. The bubble-gum record hits every synthesized, romantic mark and makes you wanna live-out a photo-booth montage.

Look for the debut album come October 26th on Secret City Records.

Tensnake Want's Everybody to Dance... Now

For those of you who have their fingers on the pulse of electronic music trends, this recent 90s resurgence isn't something new. But for the rest of you, it may come as a surprise that ancient 90s house jams are becoming pretty chic.

Even if #90sDance wasn't already trending, this new Tensnake remix is hot.

The German producer has already thrown some original works into the revivalism pile (see his Coma Cat EP), but his remix of Azari & III's "Reckless (With Your Love)" is better than everything you've heard on any Jock Jam CD.

Taking cues from Snap! and La Bouche, Tensnake's remix brings back everything you remember about the electro-dance boom -- For me that's turning up the radio in my mom's Chrysler Town & Country, wearing a pair of L.A. Lights and a Charlotte Hornet's Starter jacket.

Re: The ending... Yes, that familiar sample jogging your childhood dance memory is C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now."
