Icona Pop - Just Another Night (Remixes)

 

 

After the massive success of "I Love It", it seems like Icona Pop decided to give almost every track off of their album the single treatment.  I hear the occasional radio spin of "All Night", but every other single's chart life has mostly been limited to the clubs.  Next up on the promo circuit is "Just Another Night".  It's the closest thing they have to a straight up ballad and I'm reminded of ABBA every time I hear it, but this set of remixes changes everything.  New remixes from big names like Morgan Page are featured alongside some frantic mixes by the likes of Faustix and Imanos.

You can stream the full set of remixes below and download them on Beatport.  Head this way to grab a copy of Icona Pop's This Is..., which features the original version of "Just Another Night".

Icona Pop - Girlfriend

Icona Pop have a new single and it's pretty spectacular in that Swedish dance music kind of way.  "Girlfriend" is the follow-up to their Charli XCX collaboration, "I Love It".  The new song won't be sent out as a single in the US quite yet, since "I Love It" is still dominating the charts, but it will be released internationally.  Europe always seems to be ahead of the States when it comes to dance music.

"Girlfriend" apparently features a Tupac sample from his 1996 track "Me And My Girlfriend", which I was completely oblivious to before reading comments below the song stream.  Let's just say that's a musical blind spot for me.  Anyways, the song perfectly matches the vibe of their Iconic EP and gives a preview of the duo's full length debut, which is due later this year.
