South Central

June 25th, 2008

South Central are back with a remix for the new Sneaky Sound System single “Pictures.” This is less of a banger than some of South Central’s previous work and feels like a tease with the original song — stretched out and distorted at all the right moments: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Sneaky [...]

Black Kids + SQZMYLMNS

June 24th, 2008

Ok, I have to be honest and say I wasn’t super crazy about the SQZMYLMNS remix that Melissa posted the other week. It was alright, but didn’t really add to original for me. That said, SQZMYLMNS’ new Black Kids remix totally does it for me… adding some much needed craziness to the original. SQZMYLMNS brings [...]

The Black Ghosts

June 23rd, 2008

Another Monday, another Black Ghosts video — this week it’s “Something New” in a silent-esque film direct by Chiara!! Story behind the video: “Two characters from the turn of the century, a doctor/scientist and a clown/magician, walk through one day in their lives in search for something new to break the monotony of repetition. As [...]

The Phonograph

June 22nd, 2008

The third instalment of my Italian fetish gives you The Phonograph a seriously catchy tune called “The Absence” in which they sampled a fellow Italian, David Genco. Listen to the original and you will see what a great job these guys did. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] The Phonograph feat Genco – “The [...]

Hail Social + Adeyhawke

Hail Social + Adeyhawke

June 19th, 2008

You can now file Adeyhawke under artists-who-have-remixed-Hail-Social. Adeyhawke adds a certain fantasy element to the original track that makes it so much more wonderful. If you need an Adeyhawke intro check out Valerie or Disco Dust with the deets. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Hail Social – “No Paradise” (adeyhawke remix) (mp3) Aw [...]

Little Boots

Little Boots

June 18th, 2008

The above photo combines three on my favorite things: outer space, kitty cats and synths. Best picture ever. Nerd! The photo was snagged from Little Boot’s MySpace which makes me love her even more. I posted the same words on RCRD LBL the other day, but I still stick by them… If Little Boots isn’t [...]

Starfucker

Starfucker

June 17th, 2008

The name Starfucker reminds me of those two songs that NIN and Tori Amos did that were supposedly about that mess of a child that you love to hate and hate to love, Courtney Love, remember that? ANYWAYS this is nothing like what the above put out. This is some sweet homemade dance pop that [...]

A-Trak

June 17th, 2008

A-Trak’s new mix for Nike+ landed in my mailbox yesterday, and I have to say it’s been on repeat for the past 24 hrs. If I actually ran, like the title of the cd suggest, I’d have run myself to New Jersey by now. For reals. A-Trak’s Running Man is gonna be a must have [...]

Kasper Bjørke + Tomboy

Kasper Bjørke + Tomboy

June 16th, 2008

Ah, does Kasper Bjørke do any wrong?.. upping Bjørke’s own ante is his remix with Filur bandmate Tomboy of “Doesn’t Matter.” The original is pretty etherial with vocals by the Pierces, but this brings the song to the next level. Look for the single out soon on Plant Music — includes this remix, as well [...]

Thieves Like Us

Thieves Like Us – “Program of the First Part” When I was a kid I thought TRON was the future — in some ways it is. But not in the literal sense I was hoping for. Anyway, Thieves Like Us released a teaser video for their upcoming album Play Music… which is how I want [...]

Broke One

Broke One

June 16th, 2008

I have a strange little fetish for Italian music of late. Broke One has a nice little ep “We’re Crossing the Same Road” which the following 3 tunes are from. The whole ep is worth a listen. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Broke One – “EVRBD!” [Audio clip: view full post to listen] [...]
