So some of you may be familiar with Ratatat, some because of there more famous collaboration with MGMT and Kid Cudi for 'The Pursuit of Happiness'. Well Ratatat is a duo based out of Brooklynn, NY and I have actually been a fan for a couple years now. They've got an incredibly catchy single they released years ago, I am going to have to post later this week. But for now first off is a remix from there underground released mixtape Remixes Vol. II which is a little old, but I know most of you haven't heard it. Well this first track "Stomp" originally done by Young Buck, T.I. & Ludacris gets the signature Ratatat sound. I chose to post this first, as it's a little more catchy right of that bat, and will get you interested in Ratatat.

Next up is a song that has little more of the original, unique Ratatat flavor. And although it starts very slow, give at about a minute to hear the drop, and the Ratatat energy start flowing in. It's such a sick, no that's not the right word, groovy song? Not sure what to call it, but it puts a smile on my face, and I'm sure it will do the same for a good number of you. This track is called 'Drugs' and is off their newest upcoming album LP4 which is sure to be amazing to say the least. Now this isn't a party song by any means, more of chill song to do some work or chill out to.

Next is another song off Ratatat's forthcoming LP4, this one also has a little bit of a slow start, but surely kicks in the the signature energy. It's another chilled out song, so don't expect to get hyphy up in this bitch. I'm sure there is going to be a good number of Ratatat fans after this post. Enjoy as always!
