Willing summer a little closer with smooth beats and pristine electro layers of melody, Johan Agebjörn gives a taste of his new album with Casablanca Nights. The Swedish DJ auteur enlists Sally Shapiro on this song along with a cast of thousands (including CFCF, Lake Heartbeat, Fred Ventura and Le Prix) on his disco-tinged LP that sounds like it came from somewhere much more tropical than Scandinavia and the result is a set of tracks that could be the perfect backdrop for a on-demand eighties movie at 3 AM with Kelly LeBrock or lighting up the dancefloor after a night of non-stop dancing last night. Definitely one to look out for and add to the collection without hesitation. Look for it on Paper Bag Records online this month. You can pick up “Casablanca Nights” below or check out the super-chill hazy remix of the first Agebjörn single “Watch The World Go By” as re-imagined by Young Galaxy as well.

Without a doubt, one of my favorite remixes this year is definitely Pnau – With You Forever (FM Attack Remix). I’d been waiting to hear a little more from FM Attack, aka Vancouver’s Shawn Ward, and now my wait is over, at least temporarily. You see, he’s done a remix of “Looking at the Stars” by Sally Shapiro that is pretty much everything I love about FM Attack. If you are unfamiliar with Sally Shapiro, she’s a Swedish songstress who dabbles in the disco/dance/synth/pop genres. Although, technically, Sally Shapiro is made up of Sally Shapiro and DJ Johan Agebjörn. Sally Shapiro released an album last year entitled My Guilty Pleasure and the album has now been remixed by a variety of artists, so that’s where you can find this track. I think Mr. Ward told me via Facebook message a while back that he was working on an album, so let’s hope that is still happening and that it sees the light of day soon.

I wonder what new genre we can come up with to describe FM Attack. Chillhouse? Trancewave? Whatever we want to call it, it pretty much rules the school.

And here’s a fantastic original tune, since we’ve really only featured the remixes of FM Attack. But his own stuff is just as good and juicy. Here’s a track from his 2009 album Dreamatic
