// Breakbot - Baby I'm Yours (Aeroplane Remix) //

Aeroplane are godly. Everything these guys do is gold and luckily for us, giving Breakbot's funky summer jam "Baby I'm Yours" a facelift is no exception to the trend. While the original track is already pretty solid on its own, Aeroplane turned it into a six-minute dance anthem. Listening to the first 13 seconds of the song made me feel like I was being launched into space from a cannon. 6 minutes well spent.

// French Horn Rebellion v. Database - Beaches and Friends (Hey Champ RMX) //

It's a bummer that it's almost the end of June and summer still hasn't really hit Vancouver. What makes it more of a bummer is "Beaches and Friends" really, really makes you jealous of people who are enjoying beach weather somewhere. This song is actually a year old, but who cares. It's still relevant and it just might be your next best find of the day.

// KiD CuDi - REVOFEV (Revolution of Evolution) //

Cudi started performing this at his live shows about a month ago, and he blessed us with proper studio mix earlier this week via his blog. Ever the black sheep, Mr. Solo Dolo has smartly added another crowd-pleaser to his repretoire. The chant section is simple and catchy, and it'll be stuck in your head all day if you hear it once.

// Lissie - Pursuit of Happiness (LIVE Kid Cudi Cover) //

I'm always interested to see what happens when artists cross genres and take a chance performing other people's hits. American folk-rocker Lissie has a thing for covering all kinds of popular music (check out her rendition of "Bad Romance"), so she took Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness" for a romp at a recent show and did some nice things with it. This chick is kind of raw.

// Eminem - Here We Go //

"Lady, put your money on Shady / Fuck the other weak shit."

This is top flight sounds like. Much like the rest of Recovery, Eminem is comfortably locked into 6th gear on this bonus track. I missed Em tracks with no hooks, no singing, just the world's most masterful wordsmith devastating a track. Like him or not, this level of skill is undeniable. Just check out the 2nd verse. Staggering.
