Kids Of The Apocalypse, the mysterious production team behind “Masters Of The Sun,” have a whipped up a remix of London Grammar’s “Wasting My Young Years” that does justice to their name. Replete with brooding synths and thunderous horns, this is what we hope the End of Days sounds like. Stream it below.

The 1975 mix things up on new track “So Far (It’s Alright).” The Manchester outfit takes its minimalist side to new heights, laying Matthew Healy’s vocals over not much more than a singular piano line and ambient synths. We’d like to think this is what The 1975 would sound like if you crammed them into a music box. Stream the track below.
“So Far (It’s Alright)” appears on The 1975′s IV EP, out now on Vagrant/Dirty Hit.
DC: Come catch the 1975 at a special edition of All Things Gold on June 20th at U Street Music Hall. Advance tickets available for $12 (or $15 at the door) at the link below.

On Saturday, June 9th, All Things Go will be kicking off a brand new emerging artists series at Living Social‘s intimate 918 F Street space. Our maiden show will feature two bands you need to know this year: X Ambassadors and Gemini Club. New York’s X Ambassadors are coming off a BIG first half of 2013, which included some big radio plays and a record deal with this little label called Interscope. Their Love Songs Drugs Songs EP, produced by Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds, dropped earlier this month and is required listening. Following them will be rising electro upstarts Gemini Club, whose live wizardy — which includes plenty of on-the-fly remixing — is a spectacle worth witnessing.
This all goes down Saturday, June 8th, 7PM at Living Social’s 918 F Street. Tickets are for the show are now available for $15 at the link below. Jump on it, folks.

The end of May brings a welcome break from the barrage of patio brunch and festy pics that signal the arrival of spring on Instagram. According to my calculations, 100% of the people I know attended a graduation ceremony this past weekend, treating us all to rare glimpses into their family life with photos of wide-eyed little brothers and sisters ready to take the world by storm (once they sober up).
But when I think of the senior year that set the course for my life, it’s not college that comes to mind. It was four years earlier, when my high school sensibilities and warped sense of time allowed every day to be The Greatest Day Of My Life. I generally swear off nostalgia with the defensive panic of a 30-year-old bridesmaid, but nothing sends me into a maudlin spiral faster than the songs that soundtracked my last month of high school.
So for this month’s installation of The One, I asked the ATG staff — what’s THE ONE song that brings you back to senior year? Check out everyone’s answers and let us know your graduation anthem in the comments.
With the impending release of their new album, A Better Tomorrow, the RZA has seen fit to open up the Wu-Tang vault and give us a previously unreleased nugget of Wu-Tang gold. “Execution In Autumn” features an all-star line up Inspectah Deck, Raekwon, RZA and U-God doing what they do best. It’s a tease at only three minutes five seconds, but any Wu-Tang is good Wu-Tang. Stream it below.

Fans of Best Coast should take note of Books of Love. The L.A. duo — comprised of Katy Goodman (Vivian Girls, La Sera) and Greta Morgan (The Hush Sound) — turns up the doo-wop on Bethany Cosentino’s summery lo-fi surf rock. Their debut track, “Space Time,” spins a tale of unrequited, interstellar love. It comes with a cute homemade video, which you can watch above.
