So I've recently been going through my iTunes library to weed out all of the stuff I'll never listen to (why did I like shitty, paint-by-numbers techno in high school?) and to organize everything better for DJing. I realized that I download a ton of music without ever giving it a full listen, so the process of weeding and organizing has also turned into a process of discovery for me. Among the music I've rediscovered are a couple phenomenal tracks by Wallpaper., a group that impressed me a while back with their remix of Mason Proper's "Safe for the Time Being." Their disco reworking is a drastic departure from the experimental indie sound of Mason Proper (really cool guys that make some great music, be sure to check them out!) but that's what I love about it. It's one of those go-to songs that seems at home in almost any set I play.

Their track "I've Got Soul (I'm So Wasted)," the first single from their debut album Doodoo Face, is a fantastically blissful electro-pop dance jam. It's a perfect party song, complete with one of the catchiest hooks I've heard in a long time.

The Wallpaper. remix of Das Racist's "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" (a song that, by what I can tell, never gained attention on its own) catches you off guard at first with the stupidly funny lyrics. But then you realize that there's some serious production value behind it and that its a kickin', rockin' good time. One of the wackier songs of last year? Yeah. But also one of the most fun and entertaining. I'm excited to see what these guys put out this year
