You’ve probably been seeing a bit of Montag’s sexy, pop-fresh, melancholic remixes hyped up around teh intraweb, nailing a recent remix of M83′s Kim and Jessie will tend to do that for a completely incognito, experimental synth-popper.
Hey…. maybe you should try it too and YOU can get famous on Ye olde interwebbe. Go on – download a copy of Reason and dust off old Yamaha keyboard your step dad Greg gave you the first Christmas after your mum ran off with him. You know the one! Takes old-school midi cables, but that’s a’ight, cause Cash Converters got that bizzle in spades, yo. Call yourself something mysterious and uni-syllabic, like Doorknob or Doc Roc or Justice, then just get hell famous and buttfuck my inbox with your ‘blends’ for the next three months until you get that raise at work.
Montag’s better than that, this bloke’s a musician. His orchestrations, for want of a less ghey term, are lush and textured and oh-so-rewarding after the odd two or three spins. He’s channeling the best of indy-pop – m83, Stars (bands he has both remixed) and Broken Social Scene, and he doesn’t even look like much of a wanker. Kudos!
He even has a blog – how 2007.
His myspace traffic running a bit light, so hightail over there and make the man feel like a blogrebrity. He has a few amazing originals up there - http://www.myspace.com/montagmontag
Music to make you smile, music to make you really miss your girlfriend.

great post, i’ve been super diggin m83 recently and these rmxs are a great addition to this phase…!
m83 is like the best thing ever. the original ‘teen angst’ easily ranks in my top ten tracks of all time, while ‘run into flowers’ is probably topping the list altogether. so much love.
oh yeah, and montag is pretty cool too.
Heidi, I love you!!!
Haha ewwww.
What’s there not to love? Actor, model, R&B singer, remixer. She seems to be a platinum blond renaissance woman…
