Remix Sunday

posted by Justin at 9:23 pm.

I know it’s not Wednesday, but it’s almost 4am here in Norway and I thought I should post some remixes since I haven’t done a remix feature in a while.

The Golden Filter’s remix of Little Boots is by far the best thing I came across. Keeping their own slow tempo, sequenced-synth sound and slowing down the track, The Golden Filter has made something interesting; especially at the midpoint change with the piano. Cool stuff. I am in love with the intro to SebastiAn’s Kills remix, and his build halfway through is stellar. Aeroplane is still on a role since the ‘Paris’ remix. They played in Oslo last night, but unfortunately I am currently too poor to afford 150kr- would’ve been an awesome show. The Belgian guys remix Norway’s own Lindstrøm. And Miami Horror’s rework of an oldie, “Fa Fa Fa”, rounds off this weeks remix feature.

Little Boots - New In Town (The Golden Filter Remix)
The Kills - Cheap and Cheerful (SebastiAn Remix)
Lindstrøm & Solale - Baby I Can’t Stop (Aeroplane Remix)
Datarock - Fa Fa Fa (Miami Horror remix)

See you guys.

Remix Wednesday #10

posted by Justin at 1:36 pm.

Remix Wednesday is back! In the weeks to come I’ll be posting on some Norwegian and Swedish bands and hopefully have a review/re-cap of the Sound of Arrows and Suburban Kids with Biblical Names concert in Stockholm on Jan 30. Good luck with the new semester.

Nightshift - All Night Through (Geyster remix)
^Really, really felling this bass. Funky stuff.
Favretto ft Naan - What’s Your Name (LA Riots Remix)
^And oldie, but goodie. LA Riots always top notch.
Guns N’ Bombs - Riddle Of Steel (Para One Remix)
^Para One turns Riddle of Steel into something danceable.
Moulinex & Xinobi - D.I.S.C.O.Texas Theme (Lapse Remix)
^Hell yes! Listen to this filtered disco awesomeness. DISCO Texas is one of the best labels today.
Astrolabe - Leave The Station (Pelifics Remix)
^Pelifics from none other than Oslo, Norway!

Remix Wednesday #7

Here’s some remixes since it is Wednesday. The A-trak remix of ‘Bounce’ is awesome. I never particularly liked the original track, but all the remixes are really solid. Secondly, a shout out to Bgebs and her love of the Virgins and the Twelves. I posted a Treasure Fingers song a couple Wednesdays back but this is a new rework by Chromeo, which do you like better? Herve seriously never disappoints. I need to check more out about Kidda. And finally there’s another G.L.O.V.E.S. remix for those of you who can’t get enough since the ‘Changes’ tune. I also got word I will be attending the Hercules and Love Affair show next Friday the 17th in Chicago. See you guys there.

MSTRKRFT - Bounce (A-Trak remix)
The Virgins - Rich Girls (The Twelves Remix)
Treasure Fingers - Cross The Dancefloor (Chromeo Remix)
Kidda - Under the Sun (Herve Remix)
The Death Set - Listen To This Collision (G.L.O.V.E.S Remix)

Remix Wednesday #5

posted by Justin at 4:21 pm.

Shakedown - At Night (Alan Braxe Remix)
Midnight Juggernauts - 45 and Rising (Cut Copy remix)
Big Gipp - Hot (Treasure Fingers Remix)
Hercules & Love Affair - You Belong (Riton Remix)
MSTRKRFT - Bounce (Felix Cartal Remix)

Felix Cartal’s remix of ‘Bounce’ is out. Personally I dig the Mansion rework I posted last Wednesday a lot more, but you decide. Definitely check out the Riton remix of Hercules and Love Affair and always listen to anything put out by Alan Braxe. There’s some exiting stuff coming soon. I have some interviews lined up, a review of the Cut Copy/Presets show tonight at the Metro, and have been contacted by Muse Records to do some promotional work for their upcoming Chicago shows. Stay tuned.

Remix Wednesday #1

posted by Justin at 4:40 pm.

I promised I would post these yesterday, but I got tied up with stuff. So we can make Wednesday the remix day. I’ll try to post a handful of tracks I’m into, every Wednesday, right here. Tell me what you think, what you’re favorites are, or what you hate. This week I am really digging the Boys Noize ‘Lights and Music’ remix. I am a little behind on this one - its been around for awhile, but definitely check it out. Also the Justice remix of ‘Electric Feel’ is out in full glory now. The horns and Fx make the track. Watch for the breakdown at the end. And if there’s any other Cut Copy fans in the house, the ‘Far Away’ remix is great, but it’s kind of a rip-off of what Boys Noize did.

Moby - I Love To move in Here (Crookers Crack Mix)
Cut Copy - Lights And Music (Boys Noize Happy Birthday Remix)
MGMT - Electric Feel (Justice Remix)
Cut Copy - Far Away (Solly remix)
The Ting Tings - Shut Up and Let Me Go (CLASSIXX REMIXX)
Santogold - L.E.S. Artistes (Herve Remix)
Ercola - Follow Me (ft. Annie) (Lifelike Remix)
Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire (Kimono Kops Remix)
Yelle - Ce Jeu (The Twelves Remix)
Yuksek - composer (surkin rmx)
