Personal favorite Metronomy dropped their latest offering “Nights Out” to a UK Release recently and a digital copy has been on repeat for a bit now. It comes as this huge refreshing set of sounds, bleeps and oddly disjointed synths which coalesce into this massively appealing listening experience. Most of their stuff seems unavailable for purchase in the US, so looks like you’re going to have to wait/dig around for the album.
Anyway, in celebration of this release (and in true Hacks style): here’s a collection or remixes/mashups for your enjoyment!
First, an original from “Nights Out” .. this has been floating around in various forms for a while now, but completely encapsulates Metronomy’s sound:

Pretty solid mix, kinda grungy and a bit harder.. good for the middle of a set.

Nice little edit/mixup from the Mad Decent crew… only 128 though, so be wary of its usage!

From waayyy back in the day (Maybe you remember from one of my Mobius sets?) It just screams fun and is a perfect way to end this post.

“Nights Out” is available via Play and also via Amazon.co.uk. As I said, no US release seems to be set (but if that’s otherwise, please let me know!)
