I’ve been sitting on LOL Boys and “Arabesque” for quite a while. The LA-based electro whiz kids already have a slew of well-received remixes to their name — one which became quite popular around here. Now, “Arabesque” doesn’t have a big name, like Vampire Weekend, to draw in listeners, but it’s just as deserving, if not more.

The song is a 5 minute-plus sugar high. The track builds for 2 minutes before a sure-fire disco diva chimes in with “someone is waiting for you”, and the song only takes off from there. “Arabesque” is a must-listen for anyone who hopes to have a glimpse of fun on the dance floor this summer.

I’ve just found out about LOL Boys through your website and I gotta say that they are definitely growing on me. Once I got past the dreadful name, I found that these LA based producers have some talent hidden in those electro infused brains. They have a ton of remixes (make sure to listen to the Passion Pit – Sleepyhead mix) that can be downloaded here http://bytesland.com search if you are interested. As far as the song Arabesque is concerned I may say that it’s a great disco track that would get anyone out on the floor to shake their bodies. lol
