Interview: K.I.M.

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

In New York for a DJ set, K.I.M. from The Presets took a moment to talk to me about The Presets, their work ethic, his time as a Raver, and In & Out burger.

What were you doing in London?
We were touring. We did a couple of weeks in the UK, did some dates in Europe, [...]

The Twelves

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Our friend The Twelves is no stranger to this site — we’ve posted their remixes of Asobi Seksu, M.I.A., Erlend Øye, NYPC, Kylie, Yelle and Theatre of Disco… and let’s not forget the most popular mixtape we’ve posted in recent times. So yeah, no strangers.
A step away from the remixes, the duo emailed us [...]

Little Pictures

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Little Pictures album “Owl + Owl” has been getting much love in my stereo the past week. Perfect DIY pop that reminds me a bit of the Blow or Tender Forever. One of those rare albums that I could post anything from… all the tracks are real gems.
“I Wish I Could Keep You” makes me [...]

Lismore + AC Slater

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

Travis posted Lismore’s “More” back in April which I loved. I love the Penelope’s vocal on this track in the fashion of Spektrum (RIP) and NYPC. Well here we have AC Slater’s remix which emphazes the urgency in her pleads and has me jumping and screaming for her to get more. Both of them are [...]

Spruce Lee and KATO (whose mixtape I posted a month back) have just sent me their remix of girls by Walter Meego and its pretty darn fine.

The Golden Filter

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

This email landed in the inbox this morning from The Golden Filter:
“We’re super new. and somewhat secretive…”
I’m kinda over the market-your-band-as-a-mystery formula — hey it worked well for Fake Blood and Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya, but I dunno… So I almost hit delete but gave the track a second and thank god. Golden [...]

PNAU + Ladyhawke

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Hot on the heals of that Falke/Horror “Embrace” remix that caused a mini blog riot is the video for PNAU’s “Embrace” featuring Ladyhawke. It’s a “live” video, which I’m rarely a fan of… but the editing does a good enough job capturing the feeling of the song.
EDIT: aw, a little bit more info on [...]
