It’s the start of Memorial Day weekend ninjas! What better way to kick off the first official weekend of summer than with a breezy, sunny, yet completely reimagined version of Justice‘s signature song D.A.N.C.E. Though D.A.N.C.E. has been remixed by almost every DJ under the sun, England’s Hawa gives this song a pleasant breath of fresh air with a different arrangement of studios instruments and Mark Ronson inspired production. The R&B/Soul songstress is destined to make a splash with this creative take on what has now become an anthemic and classic electro song.

BONUS: While browsing the web, I also came across the soulful sound of Lady Daisey. Her faux-60’s sound is perfect for the Mayer Hawthorne fans as she brings us “Soul Strut,” a sassy little diddy available on her debut album In My Pocket out on BBE records.

I’m just as big of a fan of big heavy electro sounds, but it’s always nice to hear good music that takes it back to the roots; the talent of a vocalist with no autotune accompanied by talented musicians.
