Bangers & Bangers

 

I know, everyone is sick of bangers, and in a few months, everyone will be sick of this new disco/80’s stuff and the blog hype will have moved on to something else (if it hasn’t already).  However, these 2 bangers that found their way into my already flooded inbox warranted a post, no matter what [...]

Little Boots - Every Little Earthquake

 

 
A friend of the site just sent over this Little Boots demo titled “Every Little Earthquake” and it just further reassures my prediction that she will be one of the biggest pop stars in the world as long as she keeps this up.  I don’t know how to describe this track other than classic Little Boots.  [...]

Teenage Bad Girl + Boys Noize

 

 
I know their LP came out in March, and I think I actually got it about a week after it came out, but I never really gave Teenage Bad Girl much of a chance until recently.  A few weeks ago I had my playlist on random and I stumbled accross the track “USB Dick“, which I would [...]

Official Franz Ferdinand Remix Contest

 

 
Beatport is currently hosting a remix contest for Franz Ferdinand.  Unfortunately you have to pay if you want all of the parts, but they give you the essentials for free.  The winner will receive 500 pounds (approx. $950) and will be released on Domino Records.  There are also a few runner-up prizes. Do you think [...]

Cut Copy x ddpesh

 

 
About a month back we included ddpesh’s remix of Cut Copy’s “Far Away” in one of our DJ sets, but up until now we weren’t allowed to release it.  Well today Ddpesh gave us the ok so check out this very unique take on a blog classic.  I don’t really know what to liken the sound [...]

Keane Remixed by CSS

 

 
What do you get when you combine Brazilian electro-pop and English piano-rock?  Too many words and a great pop remix definitely worthy of a post.  With two giants like Keane and CSS, there isn’t really any more background needed…but Keane just released their latest LP titled “Perfect Symmetry” in early October and CSS’s “Donkey” was [...]

Sneaky Sound System X G.L.O.V.E.S. + Moulinex x Cicada

 

Just had 2 tracks here I wanted to post.  The 1st is German producers Moulinex’s remix of eclectic Brit electro-rockers Cicada’s track “Falling Rockets“.  The perfect mix of 80’s, disco, electro, and rock.  Even though this track is very “now” it has enough interesting elements to give it a long shelf-life.

The Glamour

 

 
Ok, so 1st I have to apologize for us being a terrible blog over this last week.  We have been really busy with other non-web related stuff and totally dropped the ball, but all that is over and Keylow and I are back in action.
So today I received a promo email with some tracks by [...]

Late of the Pier x Emporer Machine

  
 
 
Got a promo email for Late of the Pier’s debut LP, Fantasy Black Channel, today; and included was this interesting slowed-down disco remix of “The Bears Are Coming” by Emporer Machine.  Seriously, if you buy one CD/LP in 09, I really think you should make it LotP.  They are the most interesting act I’ve heard [...]

New Midnight Martyn

 

 
Midnight Martyn (aka 1/2 of Database) sent over his latest track today and I’m really liking it.  Part electro, part funk, and part French house makes for a great mix.  Great things coming out of Brazil!
