# Our EB Favorites of the Week: March 3rd, 2013
# If you've been following Electronic Beats for the past 681 days, chances are good that at least once or twice you've come across our daily feature, the '[EB Favorite of the Day][1]'---a single track recommendation we offer to all of our [Twitter][2]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} and [SoundCloud][3]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} followers, as well as all [Facebook fans][4]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} [of][5]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} [Electronic][6]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} [Beats][7]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.
People have often asked for a collated playlist with all these EB
favorites. Today we kick off a new weekly column, the 'EB Favorites of
the Week', collecting seven songs that we liked in the past days. And
while we usually don't comment on the tracks as we tell you about them
during the week, now you can find some extra information below.
SUNDAY, [February 24, 2013][8]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} \|
LB -- "Superstitious Heart"
Let's not discuss wether or not **Little Boots** is everyone's
favorite. It's pop music, like it or leave it. "Superstitious Heart" is
one of the new Victoria Hesketh-songs, produced by Simian Mobile Disco's
**James Ford** and **Maya Jane Coles**.
MONDAY, [February 25, 2013][9]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} \|
[**John Cale -- "Living With You" (Laurel Halo Remix)**
][10]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}Musical worlds colliding: Welsh
musician and Velvet Underground co-founder **John Cale** was reworked by
American producer and sound explorer **Laurel Halo**. Cale's viola
drones and piano keystrokes are reworked into something more dubby here;
'music for headphones' might be a good description for this.
TUESDAY, [February 26, 2013][11]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener"} \| [**Cloud Boat -- "Wanderlust"**
][12]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}Speaking of music for
headphones, there are some similarities between **Cloud Boat** and
artists such as James Blake and Mount Kimbie. Their music is mostly
hushed tones, guitar samples, and fragile electronica blended into
something that usually got tagged post-dubstep. Cloud Boat's new double
A-sided single is out on Monday, March 4th.
WEDNESDAY, [February 27, 2013][13]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener"} \| **Tricky -- "Nothing's Changed"**
Fully agree with that title! This is the classic Bristol sound of the
Knowle West Boy. *"Nothing's changed/I still feel the same"*
sings **Tricky** and featured vocalist **Francesca Belmonte**, and if
the rest of his new album *False Idols* can keep up with this track, you
probably want to preorder the album, out in May.
THURSDAY, [February 28, 2013][14]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} \|
**[Peaking Lights -- "Beautiful Son" (John Talabot's Acetate Dub)][15]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"}**
Wait for it. Wait for it. Here come's the melody. This **John
Talabot** dub version of **Peaking Lights** is something we'd like to
hear during the closing hours of club sets very soon-ish.
FRIDAY, [March 1, 2013][16]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} \|
[**Major Lazer -- "Watch Out For This (Bumaye)" feat. Busy Signal, The
Flexican & FS Green**][17]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}
**Diplo**'s digital dancehall alter ego **Major Lazer** is back with a
new album *Free the Universe*. Since the release of their debut album
*Guns Don't Kill People... *Major Lazer have rapidly grown from music
geek's latest discovery to mainstream pop music, and we recommend you to
go watch them see play live if you haven't done so yet---[satisfaction
guaranteed][18]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}!
SATURDAY, [March 2, 2013][19]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} \|
[Roosevelt -- "Around You" ][20]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"}As you may already know,
Cologne-based Marius Lauber aka **Roosevelt** will be playing [our
forthcoming Prague festival][21]. And while this festival's already
[sold out][21], you should catch up with this
charming, Greco-Roman-bound chap at one of his other live shows he's
playing throughout March and April. Until then, the balearic-driven
disco track "Around You" is a prefect taster for Roosevelt's live shows
and debut EP.
