Vocalist Maggie Horn and producer Sammy Bananas make up Telephoned, a Brooklyn-based duo with a knack for delicious pop originals and covers.
Their latest project is a reimagining of Fun.’s mega hit, “We Are Young,” where Horn’s smooth vocals glide over Sammy’s Top Gun-style synth backdrop, eventually giving way to a big bouncy club beat.

Summer is here, and more refreshing than ever. Josh Legg aka Gooldroom‘s latest single “Fifteen,” arpeggiating synths pulse like ocean waves around a thick bassline and relaxed percussion samples as lush melodies from Australian vocalist Chela narrate a romantic memory.
A few alternate versions of New Zealand songstress, Kimbra‘s catalog have been released for free through her soundcloud page.
Two renditions of “Settle Down” are offered with this release: the first being a low-end instrumental based rework from NY based Brenmar and another by Londoner Benjamin Damage, who’s remix is more along the lines of chique, contemplative coffee house music.
Also based out of the UK is George Fitzgerald, whose glassy techno rework of “Build Up,” draws comparisons to Cicada’s 2006 self titled debut.
Irish producer, Owsey also makes an appearance with a busy electro meets lush-pop remix of the singer’s biggest hit, “Cameo Lover”
Kimbra’s debut album Vows hits the states May 22. Pre-order here.
