Body Language + Alaska in Winter

Body Language + Alaska in Winter

March 30th, 2010

Body Language’s cover/edit of Detroit Grand Pubah’s “Sandwiches” was one of the biggest aha moment of their debut EP “Speaks.” Body Language took a whacky pop song and created something relaxed and even understated. But the potential for something a bit more remained and Alaska in Winter ran with it — creating a remix that [...]

Baby Monster + Golden Bug

Baby Monster + Golden Bug

March 29th, 2010

Today is the day for Baby Monster to officially hit iTunes with “She Comes Alive.” This also means you can finally pick up the b-side “Sudden Symphony” which is worthy of an a-side of its very own. To kick it all off we’re giving you the Golden Bug remix, which is included in the package [...]

Midnight Juggernauts

March 29th, 2010

Today is a good day because we have a couple new Midnight Juggernauts remixes to share with you. First up is the b-side to the “This New Technology” single which is out on Acephale. Total clanky and haunted sounding… Baby Rainbow kinda scares me. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Midnight Juggernauts – “This [...]

She’s done it again. Her new album looks like it’s gonna make for some dance floor mayhem. I hope it’s not incredibly cheesy like her costumes in this video.

Monarchy

March 29th, 2010

Monarchy may go down as the biggest teases ever — but they do know how to keep our attention from wavering and continue to do so with this quick preview of their new video for “The Phoenix Alive.” The video is shot by Dandelion & Burdock and looks to be animation/cgi heavy… Definitely plays off [...]

Jetskiis

Jetskiis

March 28th, 2010

I was about to write a post about Jetskiis being chillwave with cojones but decided it would be a disservice to Jetskiis to lump them in with chillwave. There’s a bit more going on here. Jetskiis is a new band out of San Francisco that falls somewhere between Roxy Music and the xx — filtered, [...]

MOPP

MOPP

March 28th, 2010

“Hold On” is one of those tracks that does a wonderful balancing act between pop and club. The guest vocals by Beth take on La Roux a bit, especially at the height of the track, but it’s MOPP that keeps the track from being a derivative of last year’s pop. The music is definitely something [...]

Emperor Machine

Emperor Machine

March 27th, 2010

I’m a huge fan of the The Emperor Machine, and they have their own sound more than anyone. They really are emperors of the analog machines they use. Their outboard gear would make most gear junkies hard, and did I mention they play live as a band (watch the youtube)? Anyway, The Emperor Machine remixes [...]

Headman

Headman

March 25th, 2010

Headman’s latest single “Private Show” is out April 16th. It features Steve Mason from the legendary but now defunct Beta Band, and has several remixes from the likes of Gomma co-boss Telonius and Tape to Tape, who I am loving right now. Telonius layers nice acid bass to the mix and Tape to Tape has [...]

Miami Horror + Boss In Drama

Miami Horror + Boss In Drama

March 25th, 2010

Boss In Drama has been busy locked away in some distant studio, but he had time to turn out this remix of Miami Horror’s “Sometimes.” Boss plays up the funk but keeps the carefreeness of the original. It makes me want to go swimming in the fountain of youth. [Audio clip: view full post to [...]

Penguin Prison + R.A.C.

March 24th, 2010

Where in the wide world did Penguin Prison come from? I had no idea who the gent was six months ago, but it seems like I don’t listen to anything but his remixes these days. Thanks be to the internet. Fittingly, my favorite Penguin Prison tune just so happens to be a remix by yet [...]

Florrie

Florrie

March 24th, 2010

Every March we’re thrown the new female indie pop star and like clockwork Florrie has arrived. She’s done some work with Xenomania so some of her sounds might be a bit too sweet for some, but the stuff she is doing with Fred Falke is pretty much ace. Perhaps a tad pedestrian but it’s pop [...]

In Flagranti

In Flagranti

March 23rd, 2010

Codek/In Flagranti just sent over some of their latest goodies… It included “The Swinging Co-eds aka Mädchen, die nach München kommen” which is sample heavy and true to the In Flagranti style. They truly are brilliant at finding weird but wonderful samples and making it into a groovy dance jam. Get the high quality version [...]

SXSW is always filled with OMGWTF moments. They usually involve guest appearances, getting lost in east Austin looking for some obscure venue or finding out you and an A-list celeb share a love for the same band. But this year was a bit different, not because none of the above didn’t happen, but rather the [...]

Jamaica

JAMAICA – “I Think I Like U 2″ Meet Jamaica — actually, you probably already know them as Poney Poney but ponies are a wee bit 2007 and Caribbean islands apparently are not. You can download the single if you opt-in to their mailing list. We hate opting-in as much as you do so just [...]
