Feelin’ the awesome heat this summer?!!

Enjoy it, and dig in with super hot tunes from Major Lazer’s Lazers Never Die EP which includes our lovely & talented songbird Lindi Ortega. Pre-orders available at inSound.com and eMusic.com.

“Better still is the Collie Buddz- and Lindi Ortega-assisted “Good Enough”, a pretty down-the-line island-riddim affair that employs great melody and some aqueous synth accents that help lodge this one right into your brain. Ortega– an under-the-radar Canadian singer-songwriter– somehow walks away with it, deliciously channeling a rocksteady-pumped Gwen Stefani.” Pitchfork – Lazers Never Die EP review

Big News from synth-pop diva Kay! She’s just announced a new track with Dj Tiesto titled “Work Hard, Play Hard”. The song is the result of a collaboration of Kay, Tiësto and SanDisk and is being released on the “What’s Next” mix, a collection of 5 brand new songs exclusively for Tiësto’s new “Wake Up Your Phone” campaign.
