For those of you making last minute decisions on your Coachella weekend 1 (or 2) wardrobe, we’re doing the same. Here’s one desert-worthy look that will keep you beach-chic and ready for music and musings. To start, grab a pair of printed shorts and play a bit with texture by wearing a cropped crochet number like the Look and See tank. This top will layer well with everything including your bikini top! We recommend going for something with embroidery detailing and a bright pop of color like the Radiate Love Tiki Tri! Don’t forget your #ROXYsandals, a little eye protection, and top it all off with the perfect flower crown or 31 Bits accessories! We’ll see you in the desert.

Slowly climbing their way up the garage/electronic scene over the last year or so, Disclosure is finally ready to break out. The British duo’s latest single, “Latch,” is a fresh love song featuring minimal rhythms that are sure to turn your attention toward guest vocalist Sam Smith’s stirring performance. It’s instantly become one of our top tracks of 2012, and it’s whetting our appetite for Disclosure’s full-length release, expected to drop early next year.

Adrian Michna — known simply as Michna when he’s performing — split time growing up between New York and Miami, a geographical pairing that’s acted as a clear influence on his music. His urban and tropical beats are major fun, and his new Moving Mountains EP is a favorite of ours when we’re on a run or working out. Michna himself is an avid cyclist, making it a good bet that his house-meets-hip-hop sound is great on two wheels as well!

We absolutely love this quiet peek into the effortless beautiful life of Solange Knowles. Fashionably and calmly cruising around Cape Town, South Africa, Solange confidently sets herself apart. This is the first single off a new album to be released next year — an album we think we finally show us just how talented this younger sister is!

Kitten is a young band — so young, in fact, that lead singer Chloe Chaidez just turned 16. Despite the less than advanced ages of its members, however, this Los Angeles fivesome blasts out deceptively dark music on the new EP Cut It Out. Track for track, it’s a consistently excellent record, but the one we’ve been spinning most frequently is “G#,” an epic, pounding rocker we can’t get enough of!

A current candidate for the throne of the Twin Cities’ storied music scene, Night Moves may well strike you as an unlikely contender. The Minneapolis trio creates country-tinged, easy-listening indie rock — imagine Animal Collective channeling the best of mid-1970s Nashville, with more than a hint of Supertramp tossed into the unholy mix. The slow, beautiful songs on last year’s Colored Emotions remind us of coasting down a long, sloping hill on a bike, and given how much we enjoyed that record, we’re eagerly awaiting Night Moves’ follow-up this October!

Dan Boeckner has quit more bands than most people started, his two most famous being Wolf Parade and Handsome Furs, both of which had excellent records and ran their course. Now he’s joined forces with Spoon frontman Britt Daniel for a rock-fueled side project Divine Fits. Their album is quick, clean and confident, with just 11 songs in barely 40 minutes. Full of driving beats and classic rock vocals, the album, A Thing Called Divine Fits, is a surprising slice of Cool that we can’t stop listening to.

We have a hard time describing Sky Ferreira, since she seems to be constantly switching things up! Her new Ghost EP is way different from the demos she used to upload to Myspace as a teenager before she got discovered in 2010. Confident, dynamic and humble, Sky’s contradictory pop comes across like more modest version of Robyn. The point is, we love her, and her new single, “Everything is Embarrassing,” is one of the best songs we’ve heard all Summer!

Dubstep ringmaster Skrillex took time out of his nonstop touring schedule to sign a new act to his label. Instead of another bass-dropping DJ, he chose a four-piece of Floridians who were making pastoral electronic songs in their Gainesville home. The band, Hundred Waters, have just released their “Thistle” single (and accompanying cluster of remixes). It’s a promising first step and we can’t wait to hear what they drop next.

Kentucky-bred singer-songwriter Jesse Thomas boldly moved west to Los Angeles in 2008 with buckets of talent and a guitar case full of sensational original songs, yet not knowing a soul and with very little money in her pocket. Eventually, by way of a few rough demos and open mic live performances, Thomas caught the attention of producer Jim Roach, who signed her to his label, Red Parade Music Group. Thomas’ star has been on the rise ever since, and her terrific song “Back To Fighting” breezes through the background of one of our recent “Let The Sea Set You Free” featurettes!
