  So Much Lykke
  Release, Remix, Short Post (0)

  I was vaguely tempted to handball this across to Ned in the vain hope that I might not look quite so stalker-ish by writing two posts on the same woman in one calendar fortnight... But hey it is Lykke Li. And anyway, I can totally justify it on the grounds that it's more about Fred Falke and the Black Kids than it is Lykke. Because it is. Totally. Anyway, the 'I'm Good, I'm Gone' promo dropped last week through 679 Recordings and it comes with some glorious remixes courtesy of Metronomy, Fred Falke (who really seems to be able to ...

  In Digital Form Again
  Remix (0)

  The other morning I was in the shower, thinking about how to begin this post, hoping that water = creativity, when I looked out the window to see a kookaburra land on a branch just outside. This kookaburra spontaneously multiplied itself by six just moments later and they all sat in a row, silently staring at me down their pointy, omnivorous beaks. I suppose if they had been laughing it would have been slightly more off-putting, but their silence was disturbingly Hitchcockian. Then the happy thought occurred to me that my day was probably going to be awesome having started ...

  Bagraiders Remix Galvatrons
  Release, Remix (1)

  Sometime last year, I think around October, a whole bunch of people started raving on to me about the Galvatrons and telling me to go see their shows. Apparently they were packing out and just playing a really solid live show. A month later they signed to Warner Music and have been on the go since then... I found it really refreshing that the band had an indie fan base and wasn't just some pop manipulation. This is especially amazing considering they are doing to hair metal what Wolfmother did to Led Zeppelin. Now I just have to put up with ...

  Supermayer Go Acoustic (Sort Of…)
  Remix, Short Post (0)

  Not that I thought I'd see myself doing requests, but my interest was piqued when I received an email asking about minimal mega-teamSupermayer's remix of the seemingly everywhere 'Heart's a Mess' by Melbourne's Gotye (the exceptional Ocelot remix of which has been previously profiled here). A little bit of exploration later and I discover not only that particular gem, but also Supermayer's similarly under-publicised remix of Rufus Wainwright's 'Tiergarten'. And best of all, they're both stunning. And epic. The Rufus one clocks in at 13 minutes. Whew. Perfect fodder for your Saturday afternoon. Settle in with some chocolate and wine ...

  Violens’ Frontman Remixes MGMT
  Remix (2)

  I wouldn’t normally post a MGMT track, because they’ve received quite enough hype already, (albeit deservedly) but this remix was too good to resist. Jorge Elbrecht has really outdone himself with this one. The thing I find so charming about MGMT is their ability to combine whimsical innocence and amicable sarcasm, alternating them beautifully through the twelve tracks on their recent release, Oracular Spectacular. And then Elbrecht comes along and infuses Time To Pretend with so much psychedaelia that it becomes an entirely different creature, a swirling electronic kaleidoscope of noise and distortion. You’d expect that this sound, coming from ...

  Shoes Shoes Shoes Shoes
  Release, Remix (0)

  I already displayed my wealth of love for French electro wonder-kids The Shoes back in March, but recently the remixes have been flowing out so thick and fast, and their touring schedule expanding at such a prodigious rate that it seemed only fitting to revisit G and B Shoe and give you all a taste of what's been happening. First up is their gloriously summery take on the Mystery Jets' 'Young Love, the first single off the MJs highly recommended new album 'Twenty One'. It's a simple remix, but The Shoes have taken the gilded 70s guy-girl guitar pop of the ...
