“The wonderful Jessie Ware joined us onstage at Night+Day in Berlin. We did a version of Modjo ‘Lady’ + Stardust ‘Music Sounds Better With You’ over Jamie’s edit of Sunset. It was such a joy to share the stage with her, she has an incredible voice! Here is a video filmed from side of stage.

Get pulled in by the inescapably hypnotic groove of “Falling,” the sinuous new track from Australian super-group of sorts Lace Curtain (not to be confused with Coomers’ Lace Curtains, also rad). As great as this sounds right now on Wednesday morning on a blog, we imagine it becomes nearly transcendent on a foggy/preferably seedy dance-floor at 2 AM. Taken from the group’s excellent Falling / Running 12″, out June 11 on Mexican Summer:
