Whenever we hear dancepop that has somewhat of an 80s vibe, our first thought is usually, “that’s pretty corny...but, it’s pretty catchy.” After a few more listens, it goes from, “that’s pretty catchy” to “that’s pretty damn good.” Electronic music about dancing, partying, and sexual attraction just grows on you in that way. This was the case for this spotlight. Mike & Cody have composed some catchy tunes in this fun and energetic genre. I swear as we’re writing this review, their title track “Let’s Go!” from their first EP is lodged in our heads as a catchy dance track should. Just a funny sidenote, it’s quite ironic that the EP’s called “Let’s Go!,” yet the album art's them chilling on top of a roof watching the sunset (and a random Citgo sign). Anyway, their tracks are groovy and filled with synths with a hint of guitar weaving in and out of their house style beats. Their lighthearted auto-tuned lyrics would have Daft Punk fans givin' them a thumbs up. In their bio, they mentioned that they played jazz growing up, and you can hear that influence in a few of their tracks like “Everything You Do.” In a nutshell, if you’ve jumped on the Chromeo or Cut Copy fan train, then you need to get a ticket for Mike & Cody’s. We’ve got ourselves a seat.

Mike and Cody are old pals. We used to play jazz together in D.C., then we started making pop in Boston late last year.

We like lots of music - we really like nice grooves, nice chord changes, and yup melodies. We like making songs that make people move their booties.

We put out a few random tunes last year, got a nice response, then spent this past summer working our booties off on writing, recording, and mixing this E.P. We're really proud of it, so we hope you like it and pass on to people you think might like it!
