What's In Our Inbox?

We've gotten tons of e-mails from many different artists lately who wanted to share their music with us. First of all thank you and keep the e-mails coming, and second of all we thought we'd tell all you readers about some of them.

Dishevelled Youth  sent over his funky original "EVO" a little while ago, and it's a pretty cool track. No idea what EVO stands for. Let you guys ponder that one.


RiskoDisko are a name I would watch out for. They sent over some of their tracks, and they're just the type of thing everyone's looking for these days. Nice electro sound.



If you've been running out of that nice Bloc Party like indy/electro/rock lately I think I just might have the thing for you. Beautiful Balloon know how to make good fun indy-rock. Go check out their myspace, and pick up their entire "Lead By Example" EP for free.


It seems their is no one better to remix in the year 2008 than Cut Copy. The list of great remixes of their tracks is ridiculous. Now we can go ahead and add Hundreds and Thousands "Far Away" remix to that list.


After many exchanged e-mails I was finally able to give Gejius' music a listen. Really good stuff. It's got a very interesting sound that seems to pull me in. Even more interesting is hearing that sound backing vocals from Mariah Carey.



And even more Australian talent here for you with Smacktown. Another artist with a very interesting sound. Nice blend of electro and rap. Wanted to post their stuff cause it's got a very cool vibe to it, and I gotta give 'em props for remixing one of my all time favorite tracks.

I Love Techno, Don't You?

We know your out their so I decided to give a shout out to our readers in Belgium. I don't think we could possibly be more jealous right now of you guys than we ever could be at anyone ever. You guys have the opportunity to go to the legendary "I Love Techno Festival" which would be an honor for any of us at fancy sounds to attend. Last year the festival had some big names like Underworld, Felix Da Housecat, Dr. Lektroluv, Erol Alkan, Mstrkrft and many more amazing acts. This years festival features the Ed Banger Crew which will be comprised of Justice, SebastiAn, Dj Mehdi, Uffie, Feadz and Busy P. Their will be your favorite German artists such as Boys Noize, Booka Shade, and Digitalism. The festival also features some minimal dudes like Audion and Marco Carola and some of your favorite up and coming artists such as The Bloody Beetroots, Surkin, and Brodinski. The festival also is having our L.A. homies LA Riots and along with Birdy Nam Nam and Crookers. I cannot stress enough the jealousy I have for anyone who is going to this. I will leave you guys with some of the artists who are playing ILT and hope you enjoy them and for those who are going I hope you have a great time. Enjoy!

Don't Be On With Her

We dont usually do two video-posts in a row, but I could not ignore this. Miami Horrors latest EP is dropping soon, and I absolutely can't wait. Don't Be On With Her is the only song you can find at the moment, and now we've got a video for it. One of the best videos I have seen in years. Can't wait for that EP.

Across The Universe Clip

We at fancy sounds are very excited for this. I can see myself in this clip.

New Fake Blood

I think everyone's just about ready for a new Fake Blood remix. Even though he's kind of gotten that Justice/Ed Banger effect lately I still can't help but love his stuff. You know what I mean where someone becomes too big, and you don't feel cool for knowing about them anymore so you start to act like they're not actually that good. Anyway this remix is really interesting. He took an excellent Hot Chip track from their latest album that was a lesser-known song, and basically did what he does. It was certainly interesting to hear his sound applied to a slower song.

Riddles and Riddles of Steel

You guys might think that Para One has slowly fallen off the blog radar, but we at Fancy Sounds always keep a close eye on whatever he's up to. He recently changed up Guns N' Bombs new track "Riddles of Steel" which is a really good listening track. We recently got news of a new Para One project which is a collaboration with San Serac which is called Slice & Soda. Enjoy.

Haus Of Cards

When people think of Weird Science they usually think of the iconic John Hughes movie, but if you live in L.A. Weird Science may have a completely different meaning. Weird Science is a dj duo comprised of Steve Aoki and Blake Miller. The two have been djing for quite a while and decided to take a stab at production. Their Haus of Cards EP contains a delightful remix by none other than Laidback Luke. Almost sounds like a tune you would hear in ibiza circa 01.

Beni

Formerly 1/2 of super-duo Riot in Belgium, Beni is now solo, and building up a storm of hype with his new single, and remixes. The EP for his single "My Love Sees You" will be released on the ever-wonderful Kitsune label with remixes from some great artists. Not 100% sure of all of the remixers, but the ones I have heard about are great. So anyway I have for you guys two of his remixes as well as one of those remixes of his original track.

TOO MUCH CHEESE!

Guaranteed way more cheese. Promise us you won't drown in the cheese.

And another track of his I can't get enough of...
