Fever Ray - “If I Had a Heart” (YouTube)

Fever Ray’s video for “If I Had a Heart” owned me for four minutes and five seconds. Very special. Directed by Andreas Nilsson, this is a total masterpiece.

If you missed the memo — Fever Ray is the solo project of Karin Dreijer Andersson from The Knife. Fever Ray’s debut album comes out physically on March 29th or available digitally next week on January 13th (Amazon).

Sacramento make sure to get here for this one, you don’t get shit like this too often.

Check out the preview mix for Bravado that our friend and brother Shaun Slaughter sent us, it has been playing at the BigStereo San Francisco office inbetween breaks for a dance off.

Make sure to be here Friday, it’s going to be like New Year’s all over again.

Dead Man’s Bones - “In the Room Where You Sleep” (live) (YouTube)

Yeah, Ryan Gosling. It took me like five whole minutes to figure out Ryan Gosling = Dead Man’s Bones. Who knew an actor could make music that makes ya feel so alive. And I guess children choirs seem creepier when not accompanying dance music (and dressed in Halloween costumes).

Triobelisk dropped a couple new remixes of “Xrystal Eye” — neither are featured on his “1″ EP so if you’ve dugged his other stuff you’ll wanna check these out.

First up is from Jonathan Kreinik (see recent post) who turns the track into an eight minute masterpiece — full of ups and downs. He even somehow ends up turning the melody into something that sounds a little more alien then the original. Soundtrack, video game or club… not sure where this one falls:

Dmerit takes “Xrystal Eye” into a totally different direction. Shaves off all the rough edges and creates some total disco for a club in another galaxy:

“1″ EP is available on Triobelisk’s Bandcamp where you can download it for free or pick a price for varying levels of quality. Bandcamp is the best site to come to the Internet in forever (think MySpace mixed with iTunes without the annoying features of both sites). Gotta say my one wish for this year is that more bands jump onto Bandcamp. Anyway, full “1″ EP embed below:

YO, still in full blown NYE recovery mode. So sorry this is late and sorry if I puked on you. And sorry if we’ve been post-lite… took a much over due and needed blogcation.

Anyway. Here are the most downloaded, bestest tracks of December 08:

So as you may know we are having an LDL NYE party tonight! Yo are looking for the address? Well we have it for you. We have to make a few things clear though…UGH!

The location we are having this party at is a location that has been known for craziness so we have to inform you that the better the behavior the longer this party will last. If it all goes well who knows what can happen. So that in mind the rules are as follows no more entries after 1am. This party will go on later but we can’t have people hanging out outside. No people under 21, very strict! No fighting or tagging! And no having fun, just kidding the fun will be there.

So its 15 before midnight and 20 after, this includes a champagne toast too at midnight, so be there!!!

Address is 150 folsom, its a TV Studio and we will be filming. Get ready to party like its 2009, crazy!!!

If you feel like doing something a little bigger and with some bigger names, we will also be here.

Steed Lord has released this little eleven minute mega mix of all the tracks that are on their debut album Truth Serum. Troof, I luv u megamixes. The band will be heading out on a proper North American tour this February and March with stops at SXSW and WMC. Look for them in your direction soon.

Steed Lord - “Truth Serum Mega Mix”

Album is out — buy it from Amazon or wherever.

Continuing on the Brazil tip is Superpose. The duo is from Florianópolis which is on an island off the southern coast of Brazil. If you Google image search Florianópolis you’ll come across photos of white, sandy beaches which makes me long for a vacation south of the equator. Anyway, I digress… kinda. What Superpose does is create some super slick electro pop rock that’ll warm you up and help you make believe that you’re on a sandy beach even if you’re stuck in the arctic tundra.

Superpose - “Move My Baby”

For like ever BIGSTEREO fav’s Database got their hands on “Move My Baby” and did something wonderful:

Superpose - “Move My Baby” (Database remix)

And new BIGSTEREO fav’s Discobot also remixed one of Superpose’s tracks — Beautiful:

Superpose - “Beautiful” (Discobot remix)

Superpose’s “Dance Me” EP was recently released on Beatport — download it there.

Discobot’s “Lights Out” is the necessary track as we approach New Years Eve at lightning speed — loud, fast, total party track to lose control to… perhaps totally epic in a 2008 way but brazen enough to bring us into 2009.

Total bonus points for Discobot being from Brazil. You know they know how we do:

And here’s a little mixtape they did a few months back:
