What an amazing revision of one of the year’s greatest new songsFriendly Fires – “Paris” (Aeroplane remix)





The XX – “VCR”

24 10 2009

Amazing band coming out of London. This is the type of stuff that I love on rainy fall days….just the type of thing to properly put you in the zone and get your creative juices flowing.

VCR’s melody will definitely get stuck in your head and leave an imprint on your soul. This is the stuff great bands are made of.

Uffie “Pop The Glock” – Video

4 10 2009

Oh, Uffie…while it took you and your Ed Banger crew three years to make this video (didn’t the “Pop The Glock” single come out it 2006?), it is semi-cool. Wondering why you didn’t come out with a new video for a new song…but you’re Uffie, and it’s pointless to question you. It may be because you’re pregnant, but still…





Munk – You Never See Me Back Down (Cut Copy Jackmaster mix)

4 10 2009

You know that feeling when a song makes your day…maybe even your week or month? It’s wonderful, isn’t it? Well, my friends, this track did exactly that for me today. Cut Copy is back on the remix circuit, this time doing their take on Munk’s “You Never See Me Back Down.”

Close your eyes, put on your best pair of cans, and press play — you’ll be transported back to the early days of new wave, and maybe you’ll even think you’re at the Hacienda. This particular mix channels a lot of prime New Order and a bit of the Happy Mondays. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to just want to drop everything and get moving.

WARNING: Please be careful of where you are when you play this for the first time. Make sure you’re in a comfortable environment with people you can trust — the kind of good friends who won’t pass judgment. This track is so infectious that you may end up just dancing on the spot, waving your arms in the air and acting a fool like it’s the rapture. And, if you’re like me and decide to give it a first spin while on the treadmill, make sure the gym is empty, because that piece of exercise equipment will become your dancefloor.

Drake vs. Miike Snow – “Cult Logic Forever” (The Hood Internet mix)

4 10 2009

Who wudda thunk? Nice little mashup of Drake’s popular “Forever” and Miike Snow’s incredible electro track, “Cult Logic”.

This is pretty wow.





Kid Sister – Right Hand Hi (Micro Genius remix)

4 10 2009

Starting this shiz out right with a track by one of Chicago’s finest, Kid Sister. Right Hand Hi seems to be a little more upbeat poppy/clubby than her other stuff….but hey, if this is the direction she wants to go in, I’m not complaining.

The Micro Genius remix is something else. Kicks things into gear just a little more, but mostly prolongs the synth that makes this tune so freaking great.

Can’t wait to hear a few more badass mixes of this….and hoping there’s an accompanying music video soon!
