I think I have sufficiently been introduced by the last post. I am Agnoek and I am very honored that I’ve been asked to contribute to this site. To start this one off, Southern Fried Records have marketed the release of Armand van Helden’s “Je t’aime” on Valentine’s Day. They ordered some 9 remixes of this song. This one is from Riva Star, their next up and coming talent.

The Whip are also a Southern Fried signing and they will be releasing their first album X Mark Destination somewhere in March. Here the french edit of their song Divebomb, one of their classics from last year along with a Sons & Daughters remix of “Killer”.

Some songs of the Toxic Avenger are really hard to find, and this old remix of “Space And The Wood” was one of those. Late of the Pier songs always receive massive remix coverage so that might be one of the reasons why this song was under everybody’s radar.

Thomas Bangalter’s take on DJ Medhi’s song Signature was a huge favorite of mine but this new take on the song by Dave Dresden is equally fine in my opinion.

I think the most famous remix by Motor is their version of The Whip’s song “Trash”, but this remix of Forgotten Days deserves some attention as well..

Franz & Shape - Forgotten Days (Motor Remix)

Another band that are said to blowup over 2008 are The Ting Tings, the new incarnation of Dear Eskimo and this remix of their song “Great DJ” by Calvin Harris will surely help them. Calvin Harris provides the song with the great disco glitch which has made him famous.

One of the things that really surprises me is the amount of electro outfits that cover famous popsongs. Here is the Loose Cannons take on Janet Jackson’s What You Done 4 Me Lately.

The Loose Canons - WHYD4ML

Due to the massive amount of attention towards the SMD and Van She remixes of the song “Are You The One” by the Presets, the Cagedbaby remix has been thoroughly overlooked, but since it ain’t that bad at all and I think you can recover from the massive exposure to this song.
