Gang Gang Dance – Princes

[Via Gorilla vs Bear]

Tis the giving season #1

Ok so over the next two or three days, I’m going to round up a selection of free Mp3s and mixtapes that labels/bands have released in the spirit of the xmas season and to round off another great year of music.

I’m going to start with a recap mixtape from the Social Registry, the label home to the stellar Gang Gang Dance in the States. It’s not really advertised on the SR website so I have to the credit to Gorilla Vs. Bear for the tip off about this. The Recap mixtape includes tracks by Blood On the Wall, Growing, Sian Alice Group, Gang Gang Dance and Douglas Armour. I wasn’t familiar with Sian Alice Group before hearing this mixtape but I’m definitely going to check out more of them. The Social Registry were also kind enough to release a “Leaked Tape” featuring live versions of Blood On the Wall songs from SXSW and Koko, London. There’s also a great Hot Chip remix of House Jam by Gang Gang Dance. It’d be worth downloading the mixtape just for that, it’s a nice sombre electro remix that slowly builds into a tune that would be quite complimentary to a good auld boogie.
