Welcome to Playlist, Youthography’s newest monthly offering that features high rotation music that we think are important indicators of contemporary youth culture. May is for “Move ya feet, suckers!” The sun is shining, the trees are green and we are ready to shed off the winter and par-tay! This month we’ve picked a lot of upbeat sing-songy music for you to bust a move to – from fun electro-beats from Canada’s best in dance to hilarious videos to make you smile big and wide. Youthography is sending rainbows your way!

Justice – D.A.N.C.E (Cross, WEA)
Ahhh, spring has finally sprung! And that makes us want to dance! No – it’s makes us want to D.A.N.C.E.—how fitting that we are crushing all over the music, lyrics (and video) to this super fun track from Justice. It’s like running through balloons wearing tube socks and then eating vanilla frosting – yes, it is that good.

Chromeo – Tenderoni (Fancy Footwork, VICE Records)
The album cover of Canada’s own electrofunk darlings, Chromeo, features a set of lady legs growing from a keyboard – and if we ever saw that we’re sure they would be dancing up a storm to Chromeo’s newest track Tenderoni, which is a fun and sexy song that feature’s Chromeo’s signature talk box. We’re sure you’ll be addicted to Tenderoni!

Thunderheist – Bubblegum (Bigfoot Records)
Another Canadian duo, ThunderHeist is the meeting of tele-DJs Isis (in Toronto) and Graham (in Montreal) and they certainly do make fun music together. They are so fresh to the scene that they don’t even have an EP…yet, but they are getting buttloads of attention from critics from CBC Radio 3 to the Montreal Mirror to Toronto’s EYE weekly. We think you’ll enjoy their bouncy tune straight through the summer.
