If there’s one thing central to the Passion Pit M.O.–aside from that falsetto–it’s their transfusion of weightlessness: synths seemingly overloaded with helium, drums blasting like air cannons, the whole amalgam sounding like one giant ball pit rave.

This fresh edit of Passion Pit ‘s "Little Secrets" by Jokers Of The Scene has been the arsenal cornerstone of basement DJs for weeks, but finally debuted to the masses on Monday as a RCRD Of The Day.

Punch! Yay! Mitsubishi! B U R N S is totally strobe-ing out the UK electro scene right now, and rising hype says he’s the new Calvin Harris. Put down your drink, we have to go dance like this minute or this beat’s gonna kick through our ribs like Alien!

Both Passion Pit and Miike Snow have debut records scrapping for summer speakers; PP’s Manners is out now through Frenchkiss while Miike Snow hits next Tuesday (June 9) through Downtown. The latter flipping the former’s new single is a nice bit of ‘09 synth-rock synergy, we’re just amped to hear the Snow guys release their army of buggy studio tricks upon the original. And to let that Angelakos guy get our hearts all aflutter again.
Looks like SXSW has just announced a few acts that will be appearing at the 2009 Music Festival.
