Trus’me Mix

April 29, 2010

I’m really vibing to this Trus’me mix. Classy & cool. Recorded at Club Zukunft in Switzerland, it’s making me want to buy some plane tickets this Summer.


TRUS’ME – Prime Numbers Mix [Recorded at Zukunft 4.24]

Yeasayer @ Metro

April 27, 2010

I’m very excited for Yeasayer at Metro this week. Though there are so many good shows this time of year, I’m betting this’ll be one for the books.

R.I.P.

Avenged

April 26, 2010

Comics are cool, too.

Here’s a new Tepr track to keep us busy while he works on the forthcoming Yelle album. Gets pretty juicy around that 3 & 1/2 minute marker.

Tepr – The Membrane

Astronomer laid this Lo-Fi-Fnk mix on us yesterday. Known for Skulljuice and killer The xx & Metronomy remixes, his latest work opens up so nicely.

Lo-Fi-Fnk – Marchin’ In (Astronomer Remix)

Damn I just can’t help myself. Love me a solid Metronomy remix…

Metronomy – Made For Love (Astronomer Remix)

Leo Zero did a solid version of the above track as well. But there’s more pressing news to tend to. Check this “Music” remix that was just pressed.

One Way – Music (Leo Zero Remix)

I’m glad to have some new Holy Ghost! news. Keep an eye out for Static On A Wire, their debut EP, and get tickets to their show with LCD at Metro.

Holy Ghost! – Say My Name

Sublime

April 25, 2010

I’m feeling wonderful today.

This Mondkopf remix of Caribou‘s “Sun”, from the latter’s latest LP, is making me very antsy for the former’s Deaf House EP release, out May 31st.

Caribou – Sun (Mondkopf Remix)

This one simply makes me feel wonderful. From the forthcoming Todd Edwards EP, here’s Joy Orbison‘s beautiful take on “I Might Be” – WOW.

Todd Edwards – I Might Be (Joy Orbison Remix)

Taken from Disco2, recorded in Trent Reznor’s studio and titled “USA Boys”, I’m certain this HEALTH gem will place in the Grindin’ Top10 April chart.

HEALTH – USA BOYS

“Here is our housey remix of Human Life -the band, not the general notion of being Human, which might be too cumbersome to tackle via House Music.”

Human Life – In It Together (Acid Girls Remix)

Certainly liking this French Fries take on the new Poney Poney Run Run track, “Walking On A Line.” You a producer? Why not make your own remix then..

Poney Poney Run Run – Walking On A Line (French Fries Remix)

Ok- I’d feel downright guilty if I didn’t include the BeatauCue one along with the frenchily fried version posted above. Which one do you like better? Idk.

Poney Poney Run Run – Walking On A Line (BeatauCue Remix)

Since Trash Menagerie threw this one out I’ve been rockin’ it daily. Shir Khan, of Jungle Book fame, tearin’ into the Malente & Dex‘s Exploited joint. Beauty.

Malente & Dex – Habibi (Shir Khan Remix)

Hands Up

April 23, 2010

Fresh grime from Bok Bok with Top Billin‘s new bmore jam, “Hands In The Air” by Diamond K & Al Ripkin Jr. The flipside has “Single Ladies Single Fellas”. Tes La Rok, Cobra Krames & Lunice were recruited, too. Love congas.

Diamond K & Al Ripkin Jr – Hands In The Air (Bok Bok Remix)

El Paso

April 23, 2010

I wish I had some good Fake Blood/Boy-8-Bit news for us. News about a tour hitting Empty Bottle, Beauty Bar or Smartbar. I don’t. Seems they’re skipping us this time around in favor of.. El Paso? Wtf?? I’m not hatin’ but…

Boy-8-Bit – Wolfen (Jokers of the Scene Remix)

Anyways, I’m still glad they’re doing it so I can spotlight Jokers of the Scene for a sec. Check this O.Children remix off the Ruins EP. Unh! As for events, this past week they ripped the roof off of the Coachella campground. I got some videos of the whole ordeal you’ll enjoy..

O.Children – Ruins (Jokers of the Scene Remix)

CMYK

April 22, 2010

Check out the James Blake CMYK EP if you’ve been digging that Mt Kimbie material that’s been heating up. Dropping on R&S at the tail-end of the month, someone on Grindin’ described it as “Nu-IDM..” Hmm..

Discotexas @ Berlin

April 21, 2010

Discotexas is well represented this week in Chicago. Two of my favorite acts have gone stateside; Moullinex & Xinobi will grace Stardust! Thursdays at Berlin tomorrow. Peep their facebook page if you wanna see what they are and how they do. I’m excited. Because Jesus loves Discotexas. Fact.

Moullinex & Xinobi – Discotexas Theme (Digitalfoxglove Remix)

Cut Copy – Lights & Music (Moullinex Remix)

Xinobi – Valsa in NJ

Xinobi – Day Off (Anoraak Remix)

Always forward looking- “It would be awful to make an album of ‘Quitters Raga’s because I feel like I’ve done it now and that’s enough of that.” Here’s what Gold Panda has been up to. More awesome remixes to come.

Gold Panda – You

Treasure Fingers is going to be in town this week- with Kid Color opening. I’m gonna go ahead and say Kyle is the busiest cat in the city. If you’re at the Filter Coachella Party in Indio, he’ll be there. Say what’s up. Shake his hand.

Treasure Fingers – What Am I Supposed To Do?

Yeah, I’m excited. Couldn’t ya tell? Big news from Heineken this past week. Seems they’re bringing some friends- OM Records, along with The Inspire Dome (lineup) to the Coachella valley. Here’s a few artists I’m getting really excited for. Air Conditioning is a valuable commodity out there.. Jussayin’.

Eskmo – Sister You Have Got To Listen

Andy Caldwell – Give A Little (Trentemoller Readjustment)

Little more to report from local partystarters, Midnight Conspiracy, once again. Italo-cized. Consider this one a preview of the show to come a few months from now- they’ll be opening for Crystal Castles at Congress.

Crystal Castles – Crimewave (Midnight Conspiracy Remix)

For the vast majority of you who are probably staying here this week, there’s something that I’d almost consider staying back for. Seriously. Spy Bar is having Matthew Dear and Gui Boratto under the same roof on Saturday. Wat?!

Juan Maclean – Happy House (Matthew Dear VS Audion Remix)

Adam Freeland – Silverlake Pills (Gui Boratto Remix)

For a little bonus, way off the mark from any current event I can think of. Here’s two Soul Jazz Records classics featured on the compilation New Orleans Funk. Feel the funk. Yeah, that’s it. Makes ya move a lil, don’t it?

Ernie K Doe – Here Come The Girls

Mary Jane Hooper – I’ve Got Reasons

DJ Sneak is in town this Friday at Spybar. Back to his roots. How many of you were aware he used to work at Gramaphone? That’s right. You learn something new every day. Free cover with “Ego” at the Door.

M.in & Patrick Kunkel & Harold Todd – Frauen & Blumen (DJ Sneak Remix)

Oh, Midnight Juggernauts, I knew you were up to something sweet. I can’t wait for their next full-length, The Crystal Axis. Check out the Vital Signs video while after this CcenturiesS remix.

Midnight Juggernauts – This New Technology (CcenturiesS Remix)

Zombie Nation is always on my radar. Check out his facebook page to see what he’s been up to with remix packages, contests and whatnot. You could just skip all of that and download ‘em all here if you’d like.

Zombie Nation – Mind of Many

I’m dying to see Phonat live. Dying. Can anyone shed light on what his performance is like? I’ve only been to Italy once, and during that trip had no idea who the hell he was. Some European kid reading this can tell me, I know it. Here’s a nasty little DCUP remix fit for flavor.

Major Lazer & Rusko @ Metro

April 6, 2010

I’ve been slackin! It ain’t entirely my fault, though. Comcast – my favorite awful monopoly – has stood in my way of the internet for days now, since I moved in on Thursday. I was going to do a ticket giveaway.. Key word: Was.

Now it’s just a ‘heads-up.’ Major Lazer & Rusko will be at Metro this Saturday. So if you want both socks blown off, you know where to be..

Major Lazer – Hold The Line (Djedjotronic Remix)

Major Lazer – Zumbi (Nujax Remix)
