That Raven Freestyle - Teki Latex vs. The Proxy
Working from a studio in Santa Monica, California. A young Daedelus began noodling bass clarinet notes, and soon graduated into the covenant of double-bass. After an ill-fated affair pondering classical and jazz, rave paved the way, and a burgeoning record collection fueled Daedelus’ artistic creativity, preparing the path to his first full length release, Invention. Inspired by ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘70s grooves, and defying genres such as downtempo and hip-hop, Daedelus gradually begins to venture into the L.A. afterdark. Daedelus recently was added to the Hard Haunted Mansion alongside such acts as Soulwax, Tiga, Crookers, Deadmau5 and many more. Deadelus put out his 10th album on July 15th through Ninja Tune. Be sure to catch him on tour with his mysterious magic music box. These are my two favorite songs from the new record.
I already made a post about Madlib's new album King of the Wigflip a few days ago, but we just got a new exclusive track from it in our inbox. From what I've heard of the album so far, I really like it. Give the track a listen and make sure to look out for King of the Wigflip which drops September 30th.
The Prodigy are an electronic music group formed by Liam Howlett in 1990, in Braintree, Essex, England. Along with The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, The Crystal Method, and a few other lesser-known acts, they were pioneers of the big beat electronic dance genre. They have sold over 16 million records worldwide which is unequaled in electronic music history. The first official album tours will begin in the UK in December with "The Invaders Academy Tour" and continue in January 2009 in Australia as part of the BIG DAY OUT Festival. The band has stated that the album is set to launch early February 2009. In commemoration to these rave gods I thought I would give you readers a more obscure Prodigy song that still ignites the dance floor every-time it is played.
Here's Scion A/V's latest release in which Herve, Sinden and Duke Dumont remix hip hop legends EPMD's new hit Run It. I really love every one of these remixes, especially the Herve one. I definitely recommend checking them out.
If you missed our other post about Jake-Simon (not pictured above) he's one of our good friends and favorite up and coming electronic artists. Very young, but he's already doing some really awesome stuff. Now if you've been reading this blog for long at all you know how much we love Proxy, and Jake-Simon to give some love to Proxy by remixing his Dance in Dark. He tells us he was inspired to remix it after hearing the Hostage remix of it, and being unimpressed. That and his love for the original song of course. But anyway he took the song it did it justice. Great vocal chopping awesome beat, all that good stuff. The other remix we have here is Jake-Simon's remix for whiteface. Another very solid remix, this time of a not so familiar song, but still an awesome track. We really like Jake-Simon's work and you can head over to his myspace to learn and hear more.
Here are the latest Crookers remixes, one from David Guetta's Pop Life album, and another from Wiley. I really like the David Guetta remix, I'll definitely give it a Most Fancied. I'm not so crazy about the remix of Wiley, but I'd suggest giving it a listen. I've been waiting so long for an all ages Crookers show in LA, and thanks to the Hard Halloween Fest I'll be seeing them. The lineup is great, so if you have no Halloween plans check it out! Okay well here the new Crookers remixes are, Enjoy!
The Aston Shuffle are two Australian dudes who know how to make some good electronic music. They've been remixed by some of my favorite artists, remixed some of my favorite songs, and it all sounds great. For a while I had only heard remixes by them, but there originals are my favorite. They really have a great sound. Not so crazy that it'll give you a headache or anything, but not too soft either. Here's my favorite original of theirs, and I guess I wasn't the only one who liked it cause it got some awesome remixers.
I just heard the new Cool Kids single, The Delivery Man. Personally I really like The Cool Kids and I think they put out some of the best rap these days. I liked Delivery Man a lot, take my word for it and give it a hear. I'm also going to throw in my favorite Cool Kids remix as a bonus. Enjoy!
If you don't know Telemitry, he's soon to be the mastermind behind your favorite Coldplay, Bloc Party, and now Michael Jackson remix. His remixes, though there are only a handful so far, are consistently brilliant. He does not promise hard-hitting bass-lines or beautiful synths on every remix, but he certainly promises a new well crafted, well produced version of one of your favorite songs.
I promised you when I found a better version of this I'd give it to you guys right away so here I am. You can find the rest of our favorite Cheap and Cheerful Remixes here.
I don't know how T.I. did it, but he brought the the four biggest rap artists together to rap on the same track. A track samples a line from M.I.A.'s Paper Planes, which is also one of the biggest rap songs of this year. This is the All-Star game of Hip-Hop songs. Everyone in it, and everything about it is top quality. All the best here. Check it.

I've been meaning to make a post on all of my favorite Cheap Thrills remixes. It all started out with the remix Herve made with Michael Jackson's Thriller. I know there is a bunch of mixed feelings on this remix, some people think Herve killed it, others think its great. I personally really liked it. So here are all my favorite Cheap Thrills remixes, I even included the super rare Count of Monte Cristal remix. Enjoy!
Hey sorry I haven't made a post for a few days, I've been in New York City and the internet was terribly slow. The minute I got home I came across a fairly new remix of Hey Boy, Hey Girl by Soulwax. YES! Both The Chemical Brothers and Soulwax, two of my favorite artists! This remix is great, I definitely recommend taking the time to download it. As a treat I decided to include the original, which is pretty hard to come across these days. Enjoy!
Great moments in Russian art:
Herve could easily be the busiest electronic producer there is. Everyday he cranks out something new. It's hard to keep up, but I'm here to give you the latest I've found.
If you ever check Hype Machines Most Popular section you may have noticed a month or so ago that a god 75% of it was ruled by Immuzikation. He does awesome Mash-ups and now a remix! Got this in our inbox a few minutes ago, and it's pretty awesome. It's not quite up to par with the Justice remix (the only other remix of this I like), but Immuzikation didn't have the a cappella, and all that good stuff. As you can see he's got an album called Probly Normal (the picture ^). I don't know if that'll be released officially or what's the deal with that, but you bet if I found out I'll let you readers know. So without further ado here's Immuzikations first remix.
Treasure Fingers latest single's been getting some major attention from well, everybody. Other artists, blogs, hipsters, people in the club, your parents, anyone. It's an awesome song and there's lots of good remixes to go along with it. It's best feature is that I could really see lots of people liking it. Hip-Hop fans, Electronic fans, whatever you'll like it. I picked the best of the remixes, and I'm sure you'll recognize some or most of the remixers.
When it comes to bass heavy House and Electronic music, Vandalism gets my pick. They have put out remixes of some of the hottest dance floor hits. I posted some of my favorite remixes they've made, it was hard to narrow them down. Give them each a listen I would call these all "Most Fancied" but i'll highlight my favorites.
LA Riots do some of the best remixes you'll ever hear. And they do a lot of em. They do some really great stuff, and they have a great live show, which I was lucky enough to catch. There latest is a remix of The Ting Tings "That's Not My Name". There have been a good amount of remixes for this, but to many I've cared for much. This one's different though. LA Riots do similar stuff on a lot of there remixes, but I'm not complaining. The have a really great sound. I've heard very little original stuff by them, but hopefully more will be comin soon. I decided to throw in a whole bunch of my other favorites by them so hope you enjoy. There all really great.
Brodinski just released an original song titled "Goldigger." I would definitely recommend downloading it, I love it. I also decided to include some of my favorite original songs and remixes Brodinski has done in the past, check them out, he's great.
When i heard SebastiAn had an album coming I got way too excited so that when i found out it was an album of his remixes i was a little disappointed. So i tried not to put a deceiving title and get you guys all excited. It's still pretty cool. So ya I got a tracklist here for you, but I'm a little scared to post the download link cause we might get in trouble, but I'll send you over to someone a little braver who did post it.
So I guess the long awaited Blueprint 3 from Jay-Z is now in production, and a Kanye produced track was just leaked. I havn't liked his stuff since the Black Album, but I think he'll go all out on this one, and we'll get to see his real talent again. From what i've heard it's not just this track that's being produced by Kanye, but most of it will have his touch on it, which is a good thing in my opinion. Yes, Kanye's attitude can be ridiculous at points, but I have to respect his writing and producing skill. So here's the last from Jay. Enjoy
We got some more Surkin for you. This time it's his song White Knights Two being remixed by Laidback Luke. Laidback Luke's done as many remixes as anyone i can think of over the last year or so, but I guess I can't blame him he's damn good at 'em. This one's a real gem especially after what Surkin did to this song with Chromeo. That was very average if not below par for Surkin, but this was a good choice. Laidback Luke rarely does wrong.
Here's one of Tittsworth's songs off his new album "12 Steps," which was released today. This track was okay, listen to it yourself though, you may like it. 12 Steps can be bought on iTunes as of today so if you dig this, check out this rest of his album.
It hit me a few days ago that there's just a massive amount of remixes of American Boy out there. I decided I'd round-up the best for you. Consider these all these [Most Fancied] because there the most fancied of the American Boy remixes. I love all these and a buncha are done by some of my favorite artists. Check em out.
Bloc Party's newest single started showing up around the blog-o-sphere a few weeks ago, and a few remixes sprang up as well, but we've got some official remixes for you that are on an E.P. including the single and a few remixes. You can get that E.P. on Bloc Party's site, and I'm sure it'll be on iTunes soon. It includes the first three remixes posted plus the original, but don't skip out on the Telemitry Remix just cause it's not on their. It still may be the best. I highly suggest giving every one of these a try. There all within reach of our Most Fancied mark, but some stand out a little more to me.
Here's the latest MSTRKRFT remix, this time of John Legends new collaboration with Andree 3000 called "Green Light." It sounds a bit like Bounce and VUVUVU, which i decided to add in as a bonus. Just to add in, we've gotten to see MSTRKRFT live a few times, and if you get a chance make sure you take it.
Jake-Simon just sent us his latest DJ mix for the month of August. He said these tracks have been his favorites lately.
