Miike Snow’s latest piano driven pop-romp, Sylvia, has been given a touch up by Sinden.

Miike Snow – Sylvia (Sinden Remix)

Sinden’s remixes have flown under the radar a bit recently, as young bedroom upstarts force their way through the ranks, grabbing the focus from the big guns of ’08. This gets back to Sinden’s world bass sound, sketchy drum rhythms and percussion stabs just roll and roll over Miike Snow’s melancholic synth melodies. Tubby bass wobbles fill out the breaks. Vintage Sinden, euphoric-vocal-world-wobble-house you could call it if you’re genre minded and/or retarded.

Sinden’s playing a special set at the salubrious confines of GoodGod Small Club on Friday 15th (tomorrow) in Sydney. It’ll be up close and personal, close enough to tilt his hat in funny directions and still have time to run away before he slaps you.

Apparently (via the promoters) this gig is a ‘personal request from Sinden to play something different to a festival set, so he can drop his real favourite records in the real old school Sinden way!’. It’s not even listed on his MySpace, so expect something pretty mega (like tunes from the Mega EP omfg lol).

Tix here..

And check out the mini-mix he made for his Australian dates through the jump. Straight up EPIC bang0rz in rough and tumble Sinden style.

The first of several posts I should have done blog-months ago but never got the chance, so I’m doing it now. One of my favourite tracks from Miike Snow’s self-titled debut, “Black and Blue” blends beautifully together those addictive vocals, charming piano stabs and Wyatt’s signature lyrics that he works so hard to place in that middle ground between the simple and the cryptic.

The single is being released on October 19th and includes a remix by Swedish duo, Savage Skulls, who released an EP on the legendary Dubsided earlier this year. It moves back and forth from the smokey windowless depths of the club jam to the fresh air of the pretty original.

You can also pick up the Tiga remix here while you’re at it. It’s pretty much everything you’d expect it to be.
