Aside from working, I am anxiously awaiting two things. The third Bloody Beetroots appearance in this city in the last two months. This time it will be with LA Riots again at Smartbar for free. They say nothing comes for free. But sometimes they are full of shit. If only the drinks were free. Then, next week is Coachella. I’ll do a huge post on my schedule for that one. Fucking Prince signed on for a measly five mil. I’m expecting the greatest performance ever. Who’s going? Hit me on my AIM: Disqord. See ya there

Metric - Combat Baby

This Breakbot remix of “Aerius Light” has been getting a lot of attention over here the last week or so. Not a new release, but definitely worth checking out if you haven’t had a chance to take a listen yet. A more recent track coming from Breakbot’s way is Stereo Provolone. It’s almost as if it picks up right where the Aerius remix left off. Breakbot always makes such distinct music. This month he’s been touring in Australia with PNAU. For all of you Aussies down under, I’m pretty jealous. Not gonna lie.

Another killer track that has had my attention is the Tronik Youth remix of Joy Division’s “She’s Lost Control”. Through that I stumbled upon the Headman remix, only leading me to further explore his more recent work and anticipate his album release on the 2nd of June.

Calling In Sick hit me up a few days ago and sent me a link to their new Bag Raiders remix. Complete with glaring distortions and a wicked slap bass intro, it’s been a refreshing take that holds up to the other tracks that I’ve gotten around to posting. CIS After a little digging, I also came across the Toecutter version of it as well- another sturdy, glitchier rendition. Totally different visions here that share the same influence. Big ups to Fried My Little Brain for the latter. I’ll toss on an older ‘cutter track as well for another little taste.

Philthy B from the Villains let me know that he recently left the group (on good terms) to embark on a new project he’s starting called After Midnight. To get the word out, he threw together a nasty little mixtape for you all to enjoy. In this mix, it becomes clear to me where his previous influences come from. Keep an eye out for more nasty work from his direction.

Here we have the Mystery Jets track “Young Love” remixed by Shoes for you to listen to. My first impression of it is a likening to some of the great love songs by Paul McCartney: not too terribly complicated of a message, wrapped in a wonderfully catchy riff that begs for a second listen. And Switch on a remix? Nothing short of amazing. I expect great things from the ‘Jets in the future, and you should to. Go check out their myspace page and give the album promo a listen, their full length is out on the 28th.

Every song I listen to that the Hey Champ DJs get their mits on is solid gold. Not to mention the anthem banger for our city here, I can’t get enough of “In The White City”- Wow. That track should be spun in every set on every night in Bucktown for the next three years. Christ, that song bangs. To top that off, they dropped a mixtape that they crafted for a German radio show a little bit ago.

Tasty New Wave goodness from the likes of poptronica artists Ready Fire Aim. Hailing from Brooklyn, “So Fine” is a single off of their newly released album “This Changes Nothing”. They have a really consistent vibe and the other tracks that I’ve had a chance to listen to live up to the one I’ve posted below.
