Touché!
You love Fake Blood. You have every song/remix by him, but it's just not enough! You must have more. Well as you may know Fake Blood is AKA DJ Touché so I thought since everyone loves him oh so much why not look in to some of his stuff as Touché. It's not too easy to find stuff by Touché, but I managed to find a good number of really cool songs. They all have similar sound to his Fake Blood stuff, and you can definitely tell their both from the same person. I've found myself listening to both "Calling My Name" and the "Dance I Said" remix over and over. Both are absolutely brilliant, and the other 2 tracks up there are quite good as well. If you like Fake Blood, The Black Ghosts, The Wiseguys, or just awesome electro-bangers in general I highly advise you to listen to these tracks.Saturday, December 13, 2008
New Peter Bjorn & John
I really really enjoyed Peter Bjorn & John's "Writer's Block", and I had heard they had been finishing up their new album recently. That's now been confirmed for my because we just got this video sent to us of one of their new songs. It's a really excellent song. If the rest of the album is like this song it should be really great (maybe even better than Writer's Block!). It's also just a really cool video... skillful dancing + slightly creepy masks + great tune = all around awesome video.
This video made me think of the handful of great "Young Folks" remixes that came out when it was the biggest hit in the world, and I went to check if I had missed any. Disappointed in myself for not finding this one sooner, but just happy I found it eventually...

New Dskotek Remixes

I'm sure you've seen their remixes on here before if you check our blog even somewhat regularly. They usually can be found as a bonus, but since Dskotek has consistently made such sick remixes, and they just gave us some brand new shit we wanted to give him the real deal! Haha. Anyway they just sent over two brand spankin' new remixes, one of "Bounce", and the other of up and comers Mom & Dad. Both are Dskotek's usual bangers. I know, I know, another "Bounce" remix. You already have so many good ones. What's the point? Well first of all the more the merrier. Second of all this one is quite good. I don't know about the best or anything... but it's pretty fun. Probably not quite as crazy as I would have expected from them actually, but overall it's a really cool remix. The Mom & Dad remix is also really bouncy and fun with some tight vocals.

(Re)rub Those Kidzz
I enjoyed the original of this song a good amount, but I've got to say this remix really takes it to another level. Skyve Reuter decided to take advantage of the cool underlying dark/deep vocals from the original and really used them well. They go great with Skyve Reuters nice electro sound. I would say both sides of this song (remixer and remixed) are artists to watch out for in 2009. Bonus:
Ba Ba Beautiful
Owl Vision contacted us through myspace a few days ago to see if we wanted to check out his latest remix. At the point I had heard his name once or twice more, but didn't know much of him at all. Checked his myspace and though he seemed tight so I said we'd love to hear the remix. Still didn't know exactly what to expect so you can imagine my delightful surprise when I heard this beast of a remix banging through my speakers. I was intrigued to hear the original song as well so I went to Miss Li's myspace, and you really should go check that out to see what a great job he did. It's basically an original track with a little sample. He really made it his own song, and did it a great job at that.

Higher State of Consciousness
Lately remaking or remixing classic electro/house tracks has been all the rage. If you've been enjoying this trend as much as I have you're probably really gonna like this. South Central decided to do a remake of Josh Wink's classic "Higher State of Consciousness". It's pretty brilliant. I always enjoy South Centrals music, both original or remix, but this one stands out. They really give their fresh rough sound to an old classic, and it works perfectly. South Central have really been doing there thing for a while now, and I see no reason why things wouldn't just get better and better for them.

New Jacks Beats Remix/Blog Appreciation
The next world wonder has been found. Listen now and experience Jack Beats' towering, pounding, mind-bending basslines! Ok that was a little lame, but I just had to emphasize the fact that these guys make the fattest, wobbliest, best basslines around. You've heard it in all their other remixes, and now you'll hear it in this one. Straight fire.Bonus:
Blog Appreciation: Every once in a while I like to remind our readers that we aren't always the first to find the things we post. The Jack Beats remix was originally posted on Discodust, and the bonus came from Mass Hyperbole. To find other awesome blogs check out our blogroll.
Rave Is King
Fukkf Offf is a name that at first may repel you away from checking them out, but once you hear there music you will be pulled in and realize giving them a chance was an excellent idea. Best one you've had all day. If you know Fukkk Offf already I'm sure you know there single "Rave Is King" that has gotten sooo much buzz over the last few months. It's an awesome banger of a single, and now it's got some awesome remixes to go along. They did a great job finding cool remixers too. I've had my eye on NROTB for quite some time now, but my interest picked up even more once i heard there "B4U" remix. I was really glad to see them on this remix EP. Before now I had never really given Zodiac Cartel a chance, but I think I'll have to start checking them out after hearing this remix. The last remix is by Midfield General who you probably know for their "Disco Sirens" single that dropped a few months ago. All 3 are great remixes that make for an EP that really pack a punch.Bonus:

Taken Away Remix Contest Is Over
Congratulations to ULTRNX on winning Digitalism's remix contest. There seemed to have been an overwhelming amount of entries, and I can only imagine the trouble Digitalism went through finding the one they liked best. Bonus:
