WE MOVED!

2011-09-08T20:05:00.000-07:00

Hey there! I know it's been a while, but we've been working on a new site. Now we're coming back bigger and better than ever. Check out the new site: http://www.fancysounds.com. We'll be posting music news, reviews, and downloads daily.

Young Montana

2010-09-16T21:19:00.000-07:00

You can bet that things are going to start looking up when Mary Anne Hobbs names you her "Favorite Unsigned Artist of 2010". You can also bet that you'll be getting rid of that "unsigned" part. Coming out of the U.K., Young Montana is one of several artists working to bridge the gap between L.A.'s beat makers and London's ever-expanding dubstep scene. But what makes Young Montana's music even more interesting is that he takes it back and uses a more classic hip-hop sound, reminiscent of legend's like Madlib and Dilla, rather than keeping it electronics focused as most artists are doing today. Daddy Kev and his Alpha Pup label were lucky enough to sign the sudden sensation, which should mean we can be expecting an official release sometime soon. Here are two of his best tracks to date.

Young Montana - Sacré Cool

Young Montana - Bad Day

Warpaint

2010-09-16T20:43:00.000-07:00

Warpaint, an L.A. based all female quartet, have had a steady stream of tracks floating around the internet since the beginning of this year and in a little over a month, October 25 to be exact, we'll finally get to here their debut album, The Fool. They've given the public a taste of the album with their single "Undertow". The four-on-the-floor beat and synchronized bass and guitar are reminiscent of The XX, but everything else, especially the funky breakdown just before the three minute mark, is all Warpaint. Download "Undertow" and the older but equally amazing "Billie Holiday" below.

Morning Benders Cover McCartney

2010-09-15T21:30:00.000-07:00

The Morning Benders have covered Paul McCartney's "Ram On" as a part of their Echomix2, which you can download here. The cover has an unexpected R&B feel with heavy drums and a speaker-shaking bass.

Women - Eyesore

2010-09-15T21:07:00.000-07:00

Women didn't get nearly enough credit for their self-titled 2008 debut. It had more than a couple memorable songs and there wasn't a bad song on the album. Now, as they're readying their second album, Public Strain, I get the feeling they won't be so easy to ignore this time around. The single, Eyesore, runs just over six minutes but you'll be begging for it to keep going by the end. It's mellow production and atmospheric layering of guitar and bass drag you in while the melody invades your mind. Public Strain comes out September 28 on Jagjaguwar.

Women - Eyesore

Ana Caravelle

2010-09-15T20:30:00.000-07:00

Ana Caravelle is a 22 year old harp player and vocalist who has ties with the L.A. beat scene through her boyfriend/producer Asura. Her music is reminiscent of Bjork and Joanna Newsom and any other harp playing pop-vocalist you can think of. As if that weren't intriguing enough on its own, the production and remixes of her tracks combine two completely unrelated genres to create songs unlike anything you've ever heard. Her debut album, Basic Climb, comes out September 28 via Non Projects. Below is a spectacular track from Basic Climb and a remix by Non Projects label head Anenon.

Ana Caravelle - Where Have You Been?

Ana Caravelle - Shapeshifting (Anenon Just One Shape Remix)

Jonwayne - Infinite

2010-09-09T21:31:00.000-07:00

Jonwayne is one of several members of the WEDIDIT COLLECTIVE, a collective of L.A. based beat makers. He is a rapper and producer with an upcoming release on Stones Throw. His latest track, "Infinite", is the strongest thing he's put out yet and is one of the best beats I've heard in months. Also, check him out rapping over a RZA beat in the video above. Keep an eye on this one.

Dominant Legs

2010-09-09T20:29:00.000-07:00

As Dominant Legs, Hannah Hunt and Girls' guitarist Ryan Lynch create an entirely new form of indie tinged disco-pop. The combination of his vulnerable voice and her dreamy backing vocals creates a playfulness that makes you want to get up and dance. Despite having only a four track EP out, the duo's fan base is growing rapidly. Two tracks from the Young At Love And Life EP are below.

Dominant Legs - Young At Love And Life [mp3]

Dominant Legs - Clawing Out At The Walls [mp3]

Teebs - Arthur's Birds / Teebs & Jackhigh - Rains (Video)

2010-09-07T21:45:00.000-07:00

Teebs is one of the youngest and most promising beat-makers coming out of the Los Angeles area. He's signed to Brainfeeder and has an EP and a debut album on the way. The album, titled Ardour, is supposedly being released on Oct. 19. "Arthur's Birds" is the first track from the album to be shared with the public. It's dreamy bells and buzzing bass will have you listening to it on repeat.

Teebs - Arthur's Birds [mp3]

Check out his collaborative Tropics EP with Jackhigh to hear some of his previous work. The video for the track "Rains" off the EP is below. Watching this will be the best four minutes you'll spend all day.

Baths - Lovely Bloodflow (Video)

2010-09-04T11:33:00.001-07:00

Check out this wildly imaginative video from my personal favorite track off of Bath's debut album Cerulean.

Matthew Dear - Slowdance (Bear In Heaven Remix)

2010-09-04T10:59:00.000-07:00

One of the highlights of Matthew Dear's new critically acclaimed album, Black City, is the slow synth-ballad "Slowdance". Bear In Heaven took the energy of the synth and vocal in the track and turned it in to an upbeat electro-pop masterpiece.

Matthew Dear - Slowdance (Bear In Heaven Remix) [mp3] [Most Fancied]

When I'm In Awe

2010-09-03T17:46:00.001-07:00

After collaborating on one of this year's most creative albums, A Sufi And A Killer, Gonjasufi and The Gaslamp Killer are back with another genre bending beat. The track will be released on The Gaslamp Killer's upcoming EP entitled Death Gate.

The Gaslamp Killer - When I'm In Awe (feat. Gonjasufi) [mp3]

Below, you can listen to Mark Pritchard's remix of "Ancestors". The Caliph's Tea Party will be released on October 5th and features remixes of several Gonjasufi tracks by artists such as Bibio and Bear In Heaven.

The XX - Shelter (Tiga Remix)

2010-09-03T16:32:00.000-07:00

Remixing The XX has proven a difficult task. Many have tried, but few have been successful. On his remix of "Shelter", Tiga seems to have found exactly what the song needed. Just by adding some thumping, minimal drums and keeping most of the original song intact, Tiga brings a whole new feeling to the track.

The XX - Shelter (Tiga Remix) [mp3]

Miguel Atwood-Ferguson feat. Flying Lotus - Drips / Take Notice

2010-09-03T16:23:00.000-07:00

Well, I hope everyone had a great summer. Now it's time for everyone to get back to work and the same applies for us. You can count on a consistent flow of new music coming your way so make sure to start checking the site regularly again.

The video above is of a beautiful arrangement of two classic songs brought together by the Miguel Atwood-Ferguson ensemble in collaboration with Flying Lotus himself. You may find yourself getting lost in the incredible musicianship and ambient sounds coming from this thirteen minute video.

Want You Back

2010-03-14T18:14:00.000-07:00

Imagine Flying Lotus remixing JJ. Now enjoy.

2010-03-14T18:09:00.000-07:00

"Round and Round" is the first single off of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti's upcoming full length release on 4AD. Ariel definitely cleaned up for 'em. He sounds better than ever to me.

New Four Tet Remix

2010-03-14T17:49:00.000-07:00

Four Tet's "There Is Love In You" is one of my favorite albums of 2010 so far, and has helped to remind me how great his remix work is as well. For his latest remix he took on Panthua Du Prince's track "Stick To My Side". The song, which features Animal Collective's Panda Bear, is transformed in to a never resting explosion of electronic synth bleeps, and sharp hi-hats. The simple, but brilliant bassline really makes this remix a winner.

Pantha Du Prince - Stick To My Side (Four Tet Version) (mp3)

Go Outside

2010-03-14T17:33:00.000-07:00

At the moment, I can't tell you much about Cults. They only came to my attention about a week ago, and since then I've seen them pop up on nearly every music site I check. Their name makes them hard enough to find information about, but even once you find their website, there really isn't much there. This seems to only make them more intriguing. On first listen "Go Outside" sounds similar to many of the other up and coming lo-fi/indie-rock bands, but something keeps pulling me back for another listen. This song is almost too catchy.

Cults - Go Outside (mp3)

You can download their full three song EP for free from their website.

Les Gillettes

2010-02-16T22:34:00.000-08:00

Les Gillettes is a fresh new Finnish act signed to Huoratron's New Judas label. They debuted their first release at the end of 2009 titled "Pompeii." It featured remixes from Obi Blanche and Mikix the Cat. We were all familiar with the Obi Blanche from the support it got from big name djs like Erol Alkan. Les Gillettes is back with a reissue of "Pompeii" on French label Kitsune. This new release features fresh remixes from Boy 8 Bit, Jokers of the Scene, and The Aston Shuffle. I must say all these new remixes are great. Enjoy!

Many Men

2010-02-02T19:15:00.000-08:00

As always, Gonzales delivers. It seems like he aims to prove that he can make any song sound good on piano. As if to prove my point, he is he is releasing his "Pianist's Envy Mixtape" sometime in the near future. The mixtape will feature this cover of 50 Cent's "Many Men" as well as Gonzales' interpretation of many other hip-hop and/or house classics.

50 Cent - Many Men (Gonzales Piano Version) (mp3) [Most Fancied]

And to give credit where credit is due, I believe Discobelle were the first ones to post this track, so big ups to them. They definitely know what they're doing over there. While were on the subject, they also recently posted an awesome new L-Vis 1990 remix, so here it is.

Last Dance (Kap10kurt Remix)

2010-01-29T17:20:00.000-08:00

This is just one of those combinations that I never would have that of, but I'm so glad someone did.

It's 1901. Still.

2010-01-29T17:01:00.000-08:00

I'm happy to see someone keeping this track alive. I needed one more reason to keep listening to it. Memory Tapes is very rapidly gaining a reputation for putting out unpredictable remixes that rarely hit below the expected greatness. His new remix of Phoenix's "1901" is as out there as anything he's done, and for some reason I feel it is best described as a very unbalanced sound. In a good way. Check it out.

Phoenix - 1901 (Memory Tapes Mix) (mp3)

Bonus:

Phoenix recently covered Bob Dylan's "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" during a recording for a German magazine. It's cool to see them playing something with such a stripped down acoustic sound.

Late Of The Pier - Blueberry (Video)

2010-01-15T17:51:00.000-08:00

Late of the Pier released their new single, "Blueberry", a few weeks ago on Erol Alkan's Phantasy Sound label. There were mixed reactions from their fans, but personally I think it's some of their best work yet. It sounds like the Beatles and the Cure came together to make an electro-pop song. The music video is at the top of this post. They also have another very highly anticipated single, "Best In The Class", due for release March 1.

The Morning Benders

2010-01-14T18:13:00.000-08:00

The Morning Benders' sophomore album, Big Echo, is set for release on March 9. They just released the first single as a free download. The track, "Promises", as well as the rest of the album was produced by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor. You can definitely hear his influence in the crisp, choppy guitar lead as well as the vocals. The track takes what made their first album a hit, and builds upon that foundation, which hopefully shows throughout the whole album. "Promises" does just that in promising us a great album to look forward to.

The Morning Benders - Promises (mp3)

The track is also up on iTunes, in case you're feeling generous. You can check out their website for more information.

I Want This Shit Forever

2010-01-14T17:50:00.000-08:00

Since the release of his amazing debut at the beginning of last year, Nosaj Thing has been amusing us with a handful of remixes. There have been a few recently, but somehow this one, released through his site a few weeks ago, slipped by me. Drake's "Forever" is an inevitably unavoidable track simply due to it's star-studded line-up, and not to mention it's a halfway decent track. However, with one of Nosaj Thing's signature clean-yet-dirty beats and some thumping bass this track is transformed in to a whole new beast. The lyrics, mainly about how great each rapper thinks he is, shine through and bring you in.

Drake - Forever feat. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem (Nosaj Thing Remix) (mp3)

Here's another one of Nosaj Thing's latest remixes. This time he remixes two alt/indie-rock all-stars, Charlotte Gainsbourg featuring Beck. If you're feeling this remix then definitely check out the original track, and keep a look out for Charlotte's forthcoming album.

Free Gucci

2010-01-13T17:53:00.000-08:00

The hilarious and brilliant Diplo recently decided to use some of his excellent connections to get an amazing remix album made of music from none other than Gucci Mane. The whole mixtape is excellent as well as extremely entertaining, and you can download it for the price of your e-mail address here. In case that's a little more Gucci than you can handle, I've picked a few of my favorites.

Gucci Mane - Frowny Face (Douster Remix) (mp3)

Gucci Mane - Boi (Zomby Remix) (mp3)

Gucci Mane - Excuse Me (Diplo Remix) (mp3) [Most Fancied]

This is definitely the #1 contender for remix album of 2010, so far.

Jay Reatard was found dead at 3:30 am this morning, Janyuary 13, 2010. He was 29 years old. Not all details are known yet.

I've probably listened to this cover over a thousand times. It's one of my favorite covers of all time.

JJ - The Truth

2010-01-10T20:04:00.000-08:00

Last year's JJ No. 2 was one of the most well received albums of 2009, and although I didn't feel quite as strongly about it as many other critics on the web, there is no denying this groups talent. I just recently came across their song, "The Truth". It is from their "From Africa To Malage" 12-inch, and it is so perfectly melodic and calming. This song, however, is extremely tough to get a hold of so I only have a youtube video of it to share with you, but I'm going to give you the other track from the same 12-inch, which is another great song.

Radiates

2009-12-27T10:39:00.001-08:00

Riton and Primary 1 have teamed up once again for another awesome track. Their first track "Who's There" created huge hype and was delivered with a magnificent remix package including Style of Eye, In Flagranti, L-Vis 1990, and Doorly. Their new track "Radiates" is yet another insanely hot track although I would recommend this one for home listening opposed to playing it in the club. This track comes with a Riton and Primary 1 Re-Rub and an amazing Joker Remix. Enjoy!

Best Of The Year

2009-12-24T22:13:00.000-08:00

Rather than dwell on how sorry I am that we've abandoned our beloved blog for so long, I am going to attribute that abandonment to what is best called a shift in interests, and move on. We thought that the perfect way to get back in the game was to come back with a bang, a.k.a. a nice big end of the year, best of post. Unfortunately we didn't give ourselves too much time to make this idea a reality, so we don't have anything written about the music, but we would hope that our choices speak for themselves.

To start things off...

These New Remixes Of This New Technology

2009-10-23T23:32:00.000-07:00

Midnight Juggernauts' first release lead to some of my all-time favorite remixes so it's no surprise that their new single would lead to some great stuff as well. With some great names on the package including Emperor Machine, The Juan Maclean, and Memory Tapes. I personally am feeling the ladder two much more so those are the two I have for you today. The first time I listened to the Memory Tapes remix I kind of went, "eh I guess this is interesting", and since then, listen by listen, my response has been progressively better. At this point I'm at the stage where I love it, and am probably completely overplaying it. It's a very diverse mix with so many ideas crammed in to a 5 minute space that it becomes mind numbingly brilliant in it's movement. Now The Juan Maclean remix definitely holds it's own. Great percussion work, vocal chops, and some great bass combine for 7 minutes of great disco flavored indie-electro.

Sticky K Seems To Be Sticking Around

2009-10-23T22:38:00.000-07:00

I just got the latest batch of remixes from Sticky K, and I see no reason to make you guys wait for these bangin' mixes so here we go. The first is a mix for an EP out on Scatterblog's still-fairly-new label. The EP is Scattermish and Mat Cant with their song "Hornbo". It's really dope EP with some great remixes, my favorite of which comes from Sticky K. If you are one of the people who liked the concept of Renaissance Man's "Spraycan", but thought it was just maybe a little bit to techy, this is for you. Same great air horn madness in an even crazier form. This one's just crazy.

Mat Cant, Scattermish - Hornbo (Sticky K Remix) (ALT) [Most Fancied]

Next is one of the 20-something (kidding) remixes that came with the "Put Your Hands On Me" single recently released by Crookers. I'm not a big fan of the original song, but Sticky K has definitely managed to turn it in to something that is more than pleasant to listen to. Another good one here.

(They Are) Champions

2009-10-23T22:25:00.000-07:00

I'm always surprised to remember how much I like The Cool Kids. There's something about them that definitely reaches out past the average hip-hop bitches and cars rhymes over crappy beats. Maybe it's the same reason that makes them smart enough to do something like go and collaborate with fellow chicagoites (?) Hey Champ. Separately both artists are great, and it definitely shows major talent to be able to come together and create something this good. If you ever find yourself trying to create some classy electro-pop hip-hop, take this as an example.

Black Noise Means Business

2009-10-21T17:38:00.000-07:00

Black Noise, Hailing from the United Kingdom just dropped their second EP titled "EP2" as well as a remix of the Crookers track featuring Wiley titled Business Man. Black Noise certainly upped the track and added in one hell of a wobbling bassline. If you dig this remix I would definitely recommend you go check out their original tracks, as they all pretty much sound exactly like this. They are all pretty much back to back basslines with massive buildups and drops. The new EP dropped a little less than a week ago on Southern Fried Records and you can buy it on Beatport here. Because I haven't made a post in so long (due to the massive amounts of schoolwork I've had) I'll throw in Crookers remix as well as my favorite track off their new EP. Enjoy and I apologize for posting so rarely lately. I'll do my best to do it as much as possible from now on.

I have to admit that I think Das Glow is one of my favorite producers of 2009. He has put out music on labels Institubes, Vulture, and Arcade Mode. He has remixed the likes of Shadow Dancer, The Micronauts, Douster, The Faint, and more. Today, Institubes released a remix EP dedicated to my favorite track of his, "Lite Brite." The EP features Strip Steve and Qebrus. Their is also a new Das Glow song on the EP I love. Go buy this EP now!!

I am sure you guys have been waiting for this one. A-Trak is back with his astounding Yeah Yeah Yeah's remix that has been getting attention from Tiga, Erol Alkan, and Annie Mac. I must say that this is his best work to date. A-Trak says he is done with remixes after this one to focus on productions. This makes me so excited to hear what he is working on.

After listening to Hudson Mohawke's new album "Butter," I was quick to pick out my favorite songs. Their were a few that stood out but this track ZOo00OOm stood at the most. After hearing it the first time I was instantly hooked and could not stop listening.

So by now I am sure many of you have heard Boys Noize's sophomore album "Power." I have to say it's nothing less than amazing. All the tracks stand out in their own original way and construct a very "powerful" album. I just finished up my remix for the track Trooper. I hop you guys like it!

Night Of The Hornheadz

2009-10-13T18:15:00.000-07:00

A smile comes to my face every time I see that there is a new Act Yo Age or Sweat It Out release on it's way. I know it means some seriously fun beats, and catchy electro is to come. This latest release is really blowing all their past EP's out of the water too. The original features Drop The Lime, and comes with remixes from Acidkids, Bird Peterson, DCUP, and Sticky K. The original track is great, and for those of you who love Drop The Lime, but are unsure about Act Yo Age, go ahead and grab this one. Luca's presence is definitely felt all over this one. The heart of this release definitely comes from the remixes, however. Bird Peterson's remix is easily one of his strongest yet. Brilliant in it's destroying heaviness as well bouncy playfulness. I can't get enough of this one. DCUP really impressed me on this remix. Turn it up if you really want to feel that beautiful bouncy bass. Last but not least is the Acidkids remix. Another heavy hitter full of bass, and big beats. Every track here is worthy of multiple listens.

2009-09-29T19:40:00.000-07:00

Alright maybe summer did just end, but I'd still be fine with some more vacation time. On to the real point of this post... Linus Loves just released his next single through Beatport today. After the success of "Prom Night" it's no shock that people are getting excited about this new track. Perfectly titled "European Vacation", it will make you want to do nothing but relax and listen to Linus Loves' beautiful synth-house all day.

Linus' friend Burns also just gave us permission to let this little gem out of its purchase-only box. His Majesty Andre takes this one to a whole new level. The original is a fun house track with a good sample, and a nice beat to it, but when His Majesty Andre get his hands on it it was turned in to something else completely. This one is worthy of being in an old Daft Punk Essential Mix or something of the sort. This track is going to be on rotation for a while.

Black & Blue

2009-09-27T12:01:00.000-07:00

Tiga's remix of Miike Snow's "Black & Blue" starts off with a loop of the words "I won't waste your time", and that is not a lie. It's been a long time since I have seen Tiga make a remix this good. He captures everything I love about his style together in to just 6 minutes and 21 seconds. At certain moments this remix embraces Tiga's disco style, then his love for minimal tech-house, and there's even room for some big bass to drop in there. Thanks to our friends over at RCRD LBL for hosting this one.

Sound Pellegrino has done it again. They have released another smokin' hot record. This time from mysterious Gucci Vump. Sound Pellegrino is on fire right now having put out records by Harvard Bass, Renaissance Man, Momma's Boy, and more. Their newest artist, Gucci Vump is a bit of a mystery. Their is wide speculation on who it could be. The rumors are that it could be Tiesto, Steve Angello, Brodinski, and even Fake Blood. We don't really need to know because the music speaks for itself. It is a bouncing techno masterpiece. The EP is out now on Beatport and I recommend you go buy this release. Remixes by L-Vis 1990 and Downtown who is one half of the duo Renaissance Man.

Anyway, DJ Mehdi's edit of Erol/BN's "Death Suite was just posted over at the Boys Noize Rec. official blog. I expect greatness from him, and he comes through. Great job on this one Mehdi. And if somehow any of you readers haven't heard the other track from this EP, "Waves", please go check it out. One of the best tracks of the year, easy.

This one is probably a few days past it's postable expiration date, but I like it so why not? I was glad to learn Fool's Gold would be on remix duty for Cudi's newest hit, but following came a few disappointing mixes along with one or two good ones. Here is the best one in my opinion. It's also the first time Sammy Bananas has really impressed me. Disco/pop/bass/80's synth works very well for this track.

Lately they have haulted their output of music because they are working on their first full length album. Luckily they are delivering us with their I Love Techno Mix.

Teknique

2009-09-03T14:45:00.000-07:00

This happens all the time. I get a new track from an artist I really like, and I get lazy. I figure I'll like the track, but not enough to post it so I set it aside and say I'll listen later. Half the time I forget to even listen, and half the time I'm right and don't care enough to post it. Sometimes however, I feel incredibly stupid because it turns out the track is amazing, and should've been posted the second I got it. So, sorry about that Burns, and hopefully I don't look too lame posting "Teknique" a few days later than everyone else. This track is bound to be a classic with Burns usual choppy, funky style as well as beautiful bass, and sharp piano to really make this track stand out. The full EP is now available on Beatport. What are you waiting for?

Felix Cartal recently released his newest banger "Drone". This track is really something. To be completely frank i wasn't a big fan of some of his previous remixes, and although i do find this song a little repetitive, I can still see the forward progress from previous tracks Cartal put out. The breakdown is massive. This track is a banger!!!

Round 'Em Up

2009-09-03T13:36:00.000-07:00

There's been a serious lack of posting going on lately so I thought I'd play a little catch up here, and kill a few birds with one post... or however the expression goes.

It took quite a few HypeM chart toppers before I really took Death To The Throne seriously, but I've realized he's definitely someone to watch. You can't really be considered a good remix until you've attempted to remix a Daft Punk classic (right?) so here is his take on "Technologic". It definitely doesn't focus on the original parts much, but definitely shows off his interesting style and takes the song in a completely different direction.

Daft Punk - Technologic (Death To The Throne Remix) (ALT)

I really can't think of a single track involving Steed Lord that I ever really loved, except maybe the Jack Beat's remix of "It's What U Do 2 Me", but this latest remix of theirs has definitely won me over. I wouldn't even have given it a listen if I didn't see FutureFlash's name on it, but I'm glad I did. Very nice remix.

FutureFlashs - Get Down The Funk (Steed Lord Remix) (ALT)

I was thrilled to receive two great new track from NROTB the other day. One being an original and the other, a remix of Amanda Blank's "Might Like You Better". The original track, "Droplet", is great, but MUST be listened to very very loud or else it will sound quite boring. The second track is my favorite track of theirs yet. It's an excellent remix that I can imagine being played be pretty much anyone anywhere, and would definitely have the dancefloor moving.

Last, but not least is the Jesse Jamz remix of Flosstradamus' single, "Big Bills". I imagine this remix being played in more of an intimate club setting where everyone is jumping in to one another's personal space, and sweating all over each other. I'm definitely digging this one.

Mr Hudson's White Lie As Told By Rusko

2009-09-03T13:17:00.001-07:00

Mr Hudson's first full length release (as Mr Hudson & The Library) gained him tons of attention. It got him a remix from The Count & Sinden, but probably most importantly it got some serious notice from Kanye West who later signed Mr Hudson to his label G.O.O.D. Music. Mr Hudson's second release will be out soon, and with any good release these days comes some good remixes. The easiest way to make sure that your remix package gets some serious props is to throw on a Rusko remix. Mr Hudson was smart enough to do that, and I bet he's happy with his choice right now because the remix turned out great. It's not the greatest remix he's ever done, and the drop isn't quite as destroying as some of his have been, but it would certainly get a dancefloor moving. Overall it's a very well made remix that I would love to hear at a festival or in any club setting.

Flying Lotus - L.A. EP 3 X 3

2009-08-20T11:09:00.000-07:00

The final installment of Flying Lotus's Los Angeles EP Series just dropped a few days ago on WARP Records. The EP has seven tracks, some which are originals and others remixes by friends. The EP feels much more ambient than any of the others did, while it lacks the psychedelic synth lines and wild drum beats. L.A. EP 3 X 3 sounds as if Flying Lotus wanted to create a much more minimalist sound than usual, to perhaps show the beauty that can come out of his music. Maybe this minimalist sound will start showing up in some of his upcoming work. Flying Lotus has killed it again. He did a great job completing his Los Angeles EP Series, the EP really lives up to the others. Make sure to show some love and grab a copy of the EP, out on WARP Records now!

Definitely a little late on this one. I guess I've just been letting myself enjoy summer a little too much. NORE (of Bounce fame) released a new single featuring that man on the moon that we know as Kid Cudi, and while that original track itself probably doesn't interest most of you there are some remixes here that should keep you more than happy. Both Felix Cartal and Bird Peterson drop their usual club bombs that start off slow, but only until the build up to a body destroying bass drop. I'd probably go for the Felix Cartal remix if I had to choose, but both are nice.

Make Her Say Afrojack

2009-08-11T12:41:00.000-07:00

Fool's Gold Blog:

A few weeks ago, Fool’s Gold was asked to commission remixes for Kid Cudi’s latest single “Make Her Say.” Well, broskis - the results were pretty damn banging!
Details on the full batch of mixes (and where / when we’ll be leaking them) to follow, meanwhile dig into this awesome, instantly playable remix by Afrojack, who’s Dutch house bangers (and some major co-productions) are currently lighting up DJ sets worldwide.

The one thing that can ruin a remix of a rap song for me quicker than anything else is if the remixer doesn't use the vocals well. Although Afrojack doesn't do the best job on that front there is something I really enjoy about his latest remix of Kid Cudi's chart-topper "Make Her Say". Perhaps its the incredibly strong production on the track or the fact that its so all over the place it feels like 4 different songs put in to one. I'm not sure, but it's made me a fan of the track despite the fact that I feel like I almost shouldn't be. The first minute feels like it could easily be another Crookers remix of Cudi, but by the end you will certainly know who Afrojack is, and that he's not playing around.

I linked Living the Life which was my favorite track on the EP, but make sure to go pick up a copy of the EP at beatport or itunes to check out the others.

Ever since I started listening to The Bloody Beetroots, I've been patiently waiting for this album. Although they've been pretty hit and miss lately, The Bloody Beetroots debut album Romborama which was recently released on the Los Angeles based record label Dim Mak, really impressed me. From what I had heard from the album prior to its release, I was expecting yet another disappointing release from the duo I once loved. On Romborama, you'll find a good amount of previous releases as well as a handful of some brand new and well produced tracks. I've been waiting a while now for The Bloody Beetroots to put out some quality work and I'm glad I can now say that I once again, love The Bloody Beetroots. Also as a little bonus I included a ghetto house remix I really liked of House N˚84 by FCKN formerly known as FCKN Crew.

2009-08-02T01:01:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, I'm on a vacation but when I stumbled upon these two tracks I had to post them. If you haven't heard, Boys Noize and Erol Alkan are releasing two tracks on Boys Noize Records which will be dropping August 31st. Previews of the two tracks, titled Waves and Death Suite, have recently surfaced and from what I've heard so far, I think they're great. Don't take my word for it though, give them both a listen yourself and make sure to go out and buy the 12" when it drops later this August. Also as a little bonus, I included a Yuksek remix i really liked of a track titled Heavy Cross by Gossip.

Mad Kids

After hearing their remix of Jesse Rose's "Touch My Horn" I knew that Mad Kids would be a group to watch. However, with this second batch of tracks I am beside myself. I am beyond impressed. Both of these tracks are excellent, the remix especially being a real breath of fresh air. Every little piece of their remix of "Staring At The Sun" is so subtle and so perfectly put together. I can't stop listening to it. The original track, "House Step" is faster paced, and not quite as brilliant to me sitting here in my room, but it would certainly be a lot of fun in the clubs. Big drums, rave synths, and a fun dubstep breakdown make this track.

Redial - Heart

A lot of people got very outraged a few weeks ago when Redial released his remix of Proxy's "Who Are You". Most people took it as some amateur trying to get his name out there by doing an easy edit of some unreleased Proxy. It's too bad that happened, and those people didn't care to look at all the great tracks he made before that, but he definitely has the chance to win those people back . If you're one of those people give this song a shot. He sent this over our way a few days ago, and I'm loving it. I'm definitely a sucker for anything with those warm synths, and that underlying bass. This style is definitely hot right now, and Redial knows what he's doing.

Hope you guys enjoy this new Daft Punk song for Tron as much as we do.

Power

I would probably say that my most look forwarded too album coming up this year is Alex Ridha AKA Boys Noize's new album "Power." Ridha has been dropping his new tracks in his recent DJ sets and everyone has the same reaction to them. They freak out and loose their shit. The album will be out at the end of September and the launch party will be in London on Sept 26th with some very special guests. Hope you guys are as excited as we are!
