Just a reminder that the remix contest is coming to an end. Toby Record was generous enough to upload the stems again and even extended the deadline to March 28th so get on your shit and make it hot.
Here’s a link to the original posting: Remix contest and Stems.

The Tough Alliance – “First Class Riot” (YouTube)
This is gonna sound like some hipster shit, but only one band impressed me at SXSW: The Tough Alliance. They blew apart my brain, and I’m still picking up the pieces. TTA basically changed every expectation I have for a performance from a band… some serious mind altering [...]

Ladyhawke – “Back of the Van” (YouTube)
Ladyhawke is set to be one of the big acts of 08 — can’t get enough. The video looks a little lesbian. Here’s the Van She Tech remix that was floating around. Not as good as the original, but free is free:

Yelle – “Je Veux Te Voir” (YouTube)
Omg, Yelle’s new video for “Je Veux Te Voir” lands almost exactly a year after the first version — this time around it is less trapper keeper and more dance/exercise/red carpet. Plus there’s even a PNAU wild strawberry hidden in there. Points if you spot it.
Yelle is set to [...]

The Presets – “This Boy’s In Love” (YouTube via GSD)
So. fucking. hot.
Update: HQ here. Download and convert for your iPods.

Ugh, am I enjoying SXSW festivities? No. I should be in Austin as of yesterday at noon prepping for fun, but alas I am in Dallas without my luggage. I’m taking a moment to make a public service announcement to never fly Delta because they suck.
Anyway — my luck is changing because this nice mix [...]

Franki Chan sent over his new IHEARTCOMIX remixed mixtape featuring 13 new tracks from your favorite IHEARTCOMIX artists with 8 exclusive remixes. Hot stuff. The good news is Scion has printed up 500,000 copies of this mix and will be handing it out for FREE across the USA starting at SXSW and WMC.

I’ve been totally in love with CFCF since that HEALTH remix first started being passed around six months or so ago. Something so classic and almost easy — a refreshing break from all the tireless nu rave, blog house, glitch house (or whatever we’re calling it this week) bangers that clog the airwaves. This is [...]

PNAU – “Baby” (MySpace)
We just posted that Breakbox remix of PNAU’s “Baby” — but the video for the track just premiered on MySpace and it is as addictive and cute as expected. Warning though, this song will never, ever escape your head.

I am so excited, so so excited. In five days Rchrd Oh?! and I will be on (different) planes heading to the music nerd’s ultimate wet dream — SXSW. And if there is one showcase that you and I MUST be at it is Summer Lovers Unlimited’s at Beauty Bar on Saturday night. Ok, I [...]

Santogold – “L.E.S. Artistes” (YouTube)
Is this already everywhere?.. hm, it should be. Last year Santogold got snowed in in NYC and missed her SXSW performances. That better not happen this year or I’ll cry.

The Twelves sent over their brand new mixtape — sneak a peak at two brand new remixes for Theatre of Disco and Black Kids that you haven’t yet heard. Plus, um Chromatics… can’t go wrong there. Overall nice mix… tweaked in all the right places.

Posting Database yesterday made me remember — New Rave Kids On The Block. Does it even matter that new rave was soo 06? No. The joke is still funny. These boys make me laugh… like in a Hipster Runoff type way. Funny shit:

NRKOTB – “Vivian the Whore Next Door” [...]

Brazil is so easy to looooooove. I wanna move there… now. Database is another great example of Brazilian party jamms lighting up our inbox… Good stuff. “How I Wish A Better Mix” is like a perfect little party starter to get the kids going:

WTF?! Something good must be going on with South Central because, yeah, this is our third post on the subject in the past week. Just when you thought your weekend was coming to a stop, we have the official blog premiere of South Central’s mix for No Love Lost Record’s excellent series:

Get Shakes – “Back On It” (via GetShakes.com)
Get Shakes (the band formerly known as Shakes) have a new song/video. We haven’t head much from the bad since their epic “Sister Self Doubt” — hopefully their excuse is they’ve been in hiding recording new music. If “Back On It” is any indication for what is in [...]
