"Oh Adrian, I Wanna Be Like You"

The formation of so-called super groups can go one of two ways. Sometimes it can be a revelation when the two styles meld together to create something greater than the sum of the parts. Other times it's an absolute train wreck that makes you question how such talent could result in a such a let down. Luckily for us, when The Knocks and Mat Zo got together to form The Mary Nixons, it was the former rather than the latter.

Adrian combines the quirky upbeat rhythms from both collaborators, creating an idealized mix of styles. The high-pitched vocal sample that gets chopped up throughout the track is a good look. It'll have you singing along as you find yourself nodding along to the beat. It's poppy, Indie dance at it's best and you'd be crazy not to consider adding it to your latest Spotify playlist...#Adrian

Mat Zo Says No Thank You To Vanilla EDM

With EDM becoming a household genre, I'm finding myself constantly on the look out for interesting dance music that finds a way to distinguish itself from the crowded mess of over-synthesis. Experimentation within the genre by artists like Baauer and RL Grime are the banana chocolate habanero basil flavors I seek out tasting over the usual vanilla offerings. Feel free and throw Mat Zo's recent Punjabi infused heat rock into that mix as well. Sure, the serious secret service sounding, NSA sound bites seemed ill-fitting, but honestly, he could he thrown in some court TV audio samples over that beat and it still would have been absolute fire. If you're with me in believing that risk taking and experimentation should be awarded, head on over to his Soundcloud page to pump up Hello NSA beyond the 10K+ listens it's gotten in the past 48 hours...#HelloNSA
