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.

Their debut track, “Space Time,” spins a tale of unrequited, interstellar love. It comes with a cute homemade video, which you can watch above.

It’s hard to get more interstellar than Daft Punk, but Brooklyn’s The Golden Pony manage to launch “Doin’ It Right (Ft. Panda Bear),” a track off the robots’ latest effort, Random Access Memories, deeper into space with some heavy bass and supernova synths. Stream their remix below.

LA producers Bixel Boys are back at it again, re-opening the vault for their glitzy new remix of Robin Thicke’s delicious “Blurred Lines.” The duo kept the core of the song while transforming it from a dance-between-the-sheets track to a dance-floor appropriate model by adding some shrill highs and a quicker bassline. The result is another disco-leaning remix from the Boys, who seem eager to corner the market.
Warning: Topless models and sheep sold separately.
