<br /><br />This track is a bubbly stand out on
the Moodgadget/Ghostly joint compilation album titled <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Synchronicity-Suite/dp/B0018DQW3W" target="_blank"><em>The Synchronicity
Suite</em></a>, which apparently comes highly recommended from ITunes(?!). D.
Gookin, also known as Mike, layers some blissful synths over the
innocuously charming refrain. Meanwhile, the pace sticks to a mid tempo
lull capable of inducing some light high-stepping a la R. Kelly's "Step
in the Name of Love." The song feels like it can work night or day but
probably would be best served as a late night pacifier. It's a sweet
one but lucky for you it won't turn your teeth yellow. <br /> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/pnaupnau" target="_blank">PNAU</a>—"Baby (Breakbot Remix)"</p>

<p>This was already a likable
song to begin with, but as soon as Paris-based DJ Breakbot put a
D.A.N.C.E. style sheen on it, it really took off. The elements to this
remix are played-out and yet work wonders—rough edges; Kylie
Minogue-baiting background; endearing kids chorus. Of course, some
credit should also be bestowed upon the Aussies of PNAU for crafting
the original tune. Come January 1st, when you're walking out of a
packed bar or club at 5 in the morning soaked in sweat and still
buzzing from $14 champagne, this is the song you'll want to listen to
on your way home or wherever the fuck you're headed to next.</p>
