99–cent Download:"All My Life" Matthew Masurka, better known as Gigamesh, is the man behind Mike Posner’s multi–platinum single “Cooler Than Me” and just about every super–popular remix of Top 40 music out there. Although most recognize his characteristically chill remixes of bands like Grouplove and Foster the People, his original music is even better. His 2012 EP “All My Life” is dreamy and pretty disco heavy—perfect for an afternoon in the Quad.

Trippy, lots of cricket noises in the background, heavy synth, weird but inexplicably catchy—all of this pretty much sums up this Spanish alternative dance band. Their sound alternates between fast–paced dance beats like “Push It” and more psychedelic anthems like “Stay Close.”

The French moniker aside, Autre Ne Veut is actually an R&B singer from Brooklyn. A serious up–and–comer in the R&B world, ANV touts a Prince–esque falsetto and the energy to bring the house down with sultriness. He’s been called a “bedroom phenom,” and his most recent album is a perfect example of an artist growing into their potential. Other than crafting excellent dancing beats, ANV has a tortured quality that makes his music especially interesting. But seriously, EXCELLENT dancing beats. Plus the songs on his new album cost $1.29, so he’s gotta be a big deal right?
