Based out of Brooklyn New York, MGMT is comprised of Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden. The two met in college and quickly started making music together. In 2007 Spin Magazine named them artist of the day on October 5th and in the same year Rolling Stone pegged them as "one of the top 10 artists to watch in 2008". Their first album "Oracular Spectacular" debuted at number twelve on the UK album chart and number six on the Australian ARIA Charts, as well as managing to hit number one on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart! They have now been nominated for 2 Grammys and The Justice remix of "Electric Feel", won the Grammy for "Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical" Their follow up album, "Congratulations" was just released on the 13th of April. As one might expect, it features some amazing tracks and has a classic and nostalgic feel that is hard pressed to come by in 2010. "Congratulations" is now available for purchase on their website.
"Time to Pretend" was one of the hits from their freshman album and the boys of Slyde have gone and done us a favor but sprinkling their magic all over it and then giving it away for free. Reworking it with a bit of a Florida Breakbeat style and reggae vocal snippets, Slyde churn out a dancefloor groover. Now everybody say, "Thanks Slyde".
