Sounds of 2011 features many of the top songs and artists we’ve written about this year.

Oh hey y’all, word on the streets is that Chromeo‘s headed out on tour again. Are you excited, because you should be. After catching about half their set at this past Virgin Fest, I’m confident in saying that it was my favorite performance of that dusty day. They’re playing two consecutive nights in DC, February 5th & 6th (hells yeah), and the rest of their tour dates can be found here. Bonus: this dope Duck Sauce remix of “Hot Mess”.

Crimson is the other half of Comanche and has been very busy polishing the final pieces of Candy Beats/Indian Summer. He’s really outdone himself with this one. Tracklist provided below.

Chromeo is getting ready to drop Business Casual on September 16, and recently sent over this stunning Aeroplane remix of Don’t Turn The Lights On. This song is really making me miss Belgium. Vito of Aeroplane also just uploaded his July mix to Sound Cloud and will be dropping his debut single, Superstar, this September. This is going to be a great fall for music. You can pre-order Business Casual here.
