I was checking out Hypem.com today to see the top songs. One of my favorite music blogs “Battery in Your Leg” posted Bodies (French Horn Rebellion Remix) by Savoir Adore. It is #9 on the popular list surrounded by artists such as Nas, Damian Marley and Ratatat. Check it out it’s awesome! If you are not aware, Sleigh Bells is blowing up on hypem.com, music blogs, and other blog aggregators. They are the #1 most blogged artist on Hypem.com right now which basically equates to the most blogged band on the internet (since hypem.com hosts 100s of the top music blogs). Having Sleigh Bells perform at The Mill made our venue that more legitimate venue since Sleigh Bells is rapidly growing in popularity. Anyways, Keep rocking those tattoos and enjoy this sweet dance remix
MAY 4 IS ALMOST HERE!
I’m sure you’re aware by now, but The Mill is throwing a HUGE show on Tuesday 5/4 featuring some pretty sweet acts, and they are….
THEOPHILUS LONDON
This guy has been making moves in the indie-hip-hop realm like nobody’s business, and it’s no mystery why. His style is sick, a perfect union between production and rap. His samples are perfectly selected and placed, and span everything, from Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston to techno beats that were premiered last week. His flow is completely different - he’s got this preach-hiss-sing aspect to his voice that is reminiscent of nothing I’ve heard before. He’s got a little electro, a little R&B. All in all, Theophilus has the best of every world in hip-hop right now. If you’re interested in his music, you’re in luck. All of his mixtapes are available for free online, as he hasn’t released his first full-length yet. Check them out here:
- I WANT YOU (released 4/10)
- This Charming Mixtape (released 1/09)
- JAM! (released 4/08)

SAVOIR ADORE
Savoir is a full, five-piece pop-rock outfit from Brooklyn. Their style is simple, but infectious - their sound is raw and polished, focusing on melodies that glide through one ear and out the other with ease. They’re just damn fun and effortless, and perhaps that’s what makes them so endearing considering the movement towards overproduction and over-complication in the studio and on the stage (of which we are all certainly a willing participant). Savoir is signed to Cantora Records, who held a showcase at The Mill last fall that featured Bear Hands and Rumspringa. Now, Savoir is ready to blow the lid off this place. Should be difficult considering we’re outside, but still… Check these tracks.
- Bodies (mp3)
- We Talk Like Machines (mp3)

WET BANDITS
You probably know these guys as Ayad and Jeff from a little band called Passion Pit, in which Ayad serves as the lead sampler and Jeff does synth work. Anyway, these guys also DJ under the name Wet Bandits and, well, I have no clue what to expect. But hey - these guys know what they’re doing. Here are a couple of their remixes you shouldn’t miss.
- Chairlift - Bruises (Passion Pit Remix) (mp3)
- Two Door cinema Club - Undercover Martyn (Passion Pit Remix) (mp3)
- Lady Gaga - Telephone (Passion Pit Remix) (mp3)
