Fever Ray - Triangle Walks (Rex the Dog Remix)




I've been trolling the netz for some good Fever Ray remixes. I LIKE THIS ONE. I was so excited to see a remix by one of my favorites, Rex The Dog. He does such a great job with this song...I can't imagine a Fever Ray song being very easy to remix at all. Anyway he does SMART thing by keeping Karin's voice as a prominent instrument, as well as changing the tempo without destroying the fidelity of her distinctive voice.

Bonobo - Nightlife



Here is a lovely, original, inspiring track called Nightlife, by Bonobo. Bonobo has more incredible tracks than you can shake a stick at. Matter of fact, I don't think you could shake anything at all his great tracks. Anyway, enjoy, and be sure to check out this pro's body of work.

The Whip - Divebomb


Here is a song by The Whip, called Divebomb...LOVIN IT. I like to listen to the song as I post, that way I get more excited about it. AND I'LL USE CAPS BECAUSE I LIKE THIS A LOT. I'll post two embedded videos, the original and also a Crystal Castles remix. CC really own this remix...sounds like a brand new song. Anyway, enjoy!

La Roux

You may have already heard of La Roux..she's making quite a big splash in the pool of people who like this sort of thing. She has red hair - hence La Roux, or The Red. Anyway they are a British electropop duo influenced by 80's synth pop. Their new album La Roux fits neatly into the 80's electro obsession. I washed my car to this album and it worked beautifully...so if you're looking for a way to multi-task, get out that soap and your smallest bathing suit. I'll give you her MySpace link so you can hear her songs which can't be embedded (thanks, Universal), but I will embed REMIXES, yes, REMIXES.

I'm Not Your Toy (Jack Beats Remix)



I like the first and last mixes the most, but I like to provide variety. In all cases I prefer the original, so be sure to go to her MySpace page.

Black Moth Super Rainbow

Black Moth Super Rainbow! I was a little annoyed at the name at first, but then after listening to a few of their songs I'm starting to understand the need for such an odd name. They are from P-Burgh, otherwise known as Pittsburgh or Papa Burgh, or even Puzzy-B. I hope those names catch on... Anyway this distinctive noise is achieved using ANALOG instruments. Yes, ANALOG! The song I choose to present to you is called Sun Lips. Here ya goooo. I WOULD SUGGEST NOT WATCHING THIS VIDEO - JUST LISTEN. WHAT A CREEPY VIDEO WOWOW



Neon Indian




This song will LIFT YOU UP!! Higher and higher...especially if you're having a bad day. This song will take all that badness and drop-kick it into Iowa somewhere. This beat and the birds in the background could continue all day and I wouldn't even mind.

Terminally Chill



Here is another song that I am just listening to for the first time right now. Another dreamy, boroque pop tune...I feel like I'm in a commercial for anti-depressants. By the way, these guys are totally mysterious so I have nothing to tell you about them, other than I think they are from Austin. Feel free to stalk them for me plzplzplz.

ORANGE MOONBEAM FLOORSHOW - Hotel Gansevoort


Orange Moonbeam Floorshow is the project of Patrick Cleandenim...I suppose it's meant to be CleanDenim, though I'm not sure. Anyway this is all very mysterious to me...my friend Nico has a friend who was somehow involved in OMFL's new CD (yes, I think I am the first to propose an acronym for them, so pay attention: OMFL) so he played it in the car on our way to Athens, GA and we loved the first song, Hotel Gansevoort. This guy seems to be totally mysterious - kind of like David Bowie and Andy Warhol combined. I don't know anything about him, but I do like this track. Anyway it isn't on YouTube, but here is a link to his MySpace page.
