Music from accross the pond.

 
We got this in the mail the other day, but I didn’t have a chance to post it till now. It’s from UK based up-and-comers, Heads We Dance. They describe this track as a “space-disco synth work-out”, which oddly does describe it pretty well. All I know is I like what I’m hearing from these guys.
The Human Touch will be [...]

 
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.  [...]

 
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 [...]

 
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 [...]

 
Hot Chip got me into this whole genre of music way back, so I was really excited to see them paired with one of my newest favorites, Late Of The Pier. This one does exactly what a remix should. It takes you away and lets you see the song from a whole new perspective. And what is [...]

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.

Who doesn’t enjoy tons of maxed out compressors working ass backwards, heavy filtering, and huge unison bass lines? I know I do. FutureFlashs brings that and all the other components together that give you the right to come up with a name and put remix after it. Not too much changed from the original though and GRUM is holding a remix [...]

  
 
 
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 [...]

 
Our neighboors Designer Drugs keep sending over the good sh*t, and we keep posting it.  That’s just the way its gonna be.
This time the victim is the UK’s androgenous IAMX.

p e a c e FIRE is an American living in Japan who is relatively unknown to the casual blog observer, but I think that will change in the future. p e a c e FIRE delivers with heavy 80’s influence and some really unique touches, but it sounds like his production techniques are still evolving. Keenhouse is a [...]
