Jake Hennien and Jeremy Buffa form the Australian duo Contrakids to "make hot babies," or in other words, make great music. Though the two have been working together for quite some time, they've steadily been churning out a few key songs and remixes that have garnered them more attention, like their remix of Savoir Adore's "Regalia," or my personal favorite "Blur." Their single "We Go You Go" has since been remixed by the likes of Dim Mak's Yung Skeeter, Age of Rockets and yes, Savoir Adore. In each release, we see Contrakids successfully building upon their ability to fuse hip-hop, electronic and pop elements. They have just released their 5-track EP Dreaming in 3D, which harbors the lead single "Good Girl," an electronic-tinged pop song that will be perfect for the upcoming summer judging by its effervescent synths and catchy hook. The PetPet rework below is not to be missed. Press play and head over to their Soundcloud for a free download, courtesy of Jake and Jeremy.

Though the guys may sing about love and heartbreak (or trying to avoid it on songs like "Good Girl"), they've got a sense of humor that makes it hard to believe they've lived through the situations Jake sings about. Read on to learn about their babymaking process, a slight Selena Gomez attraction, and their craziest moment on stage (it involves a condom, but no, it's not what you're thinking).
