Beastie Boys & Passion Pit!
So, unless you;’ve been living under a rock this week you’ll be aware that the almighty Beastie Boys are returning with a new single and brand new album. Produced by Beastie Boys and Cassius’ Philippe Zdar, the album was announced with a hilarious video which you can catch here.
I’m absolutely lovin’ this reMix of the lead single, ‘Make Some Noise’ by Passion Pit. Who give the track a Dreamwave going over! Dreamwave Hip-Hop? DreamHop? Whole new genre anyone? (LexiconDon, are you listening?). Passion Pit give the track that smooth LA vibe and cover it in lush synths.
♫ Beastie Boys – Make Some Noise (Passion Pit reMix)
‘Hot Sauce Committee Part Two’ is released 2nd May.
Passion Pit reMix ARMS
Wow, this has been around for a week or so now but I’ve only just been turned on to it.
ARMS are a Brooklyn based Indie outfit who’s track ‘Heat And hot Water’ has been given an rollicking Electro-Indie-Pop reMix by none other than Passion Pit. The reMix is the kind of thing you’d expect from PP, it’s a cute Lo-Fi affair with a really cool toy synth lead line.

‘Heat And Hot Water’ comes from ARMS’ free EP, you can get it here.
Error: Operator Vs. Passion Pit
OK, first off I gotta’ say I’ve been meaning to write about Error: Operator for a while now, they (he/she?) are producing some of the most interesting and listenable electronic around right now, their début album is defiantly worth a listen. Unfortunately sometimes things slip down the back of the blogging couch in this line of work and it’s easy to forget about stuff. I’ll be rectifying this mistake in the coming days with a dedicated Error: Operator post, in the meantime check their reMix of Passion Pit’s ‘Sleepyhead’.
It’s an oft reMixed track but Error:Operator bring something unique to the table. The reMix is pretty indicative of their sound, chilled without verging into the dangerous(ly boring) territory of ambient, more intricate and subtle. Their music harbours some deceptively catchy lead lines too!
♫ Passion Pit – Sleepyhead (Error: Operator reMix)
‘Sleepyhead’ comes from Passion Pit’s now classic ‘Chunk Of Change’ EP, still available now.
Penguin Prison & Passion Pit
Things have been quite in the Penguin Prison camp for a few weeks now, the guy’s been studio bound working on his forthcoming début album.
He’s taken some time out, though, to drop this awesome reMix of Passion Pit new-classic ‘Little Secrets’. Reinventing the track for this summer, Mr. Prison drops some intricate drum programming and a hypnotic piano break that just draws you in and carries you along until the string laden finalé.
This mix is gonna’ make any day feel summery!

Penguin Prison is looking to release his album later this year.

Cassette Club reMix Passion Pit
The good folks at Eye Industries sent on over this reMix of Passion Pit’s now classic ‘Sleepyhead’ by Cassette Club in lieu of their début single, ‘4 Me’.
CC’s Ben Macklin and Tom Hammond bring their own brand of feel-good ElectroPop to Passion Pit’s Indie-Electro with results in a type of, almost hands-in-the-air, Electro (it’s a pity hipsters are far to cool for that!) that’s retro enough to make you smile in reminisce but contemporary enough to shake your booty ‘til it falls off!

Passion Pit reMix Shout Out Louds
Swedish Indie kooks Shout Out Louds have got their friends Passion Pit to grace their single ‘Fall Hard’ with one of their classic reMixes.
And PP synth the track right up! Layering deep analog basses and lush synth pads Passion Pit have warped Shout Out Loud’s track into a prefect summer synth jam.

Passion Pit reMix Dan Black
Still trying to get through the electronic rumors Inbox backlog! This is one I have to share with you though.
London live ElectroPop scenester Dan Black has manages to score a reMix from current Passion Pit, who must be busy right now promoting their new album ‘Manners’!
The song, ‘Symphonies’, is Dan’s own reworking of his track ‘Hypnotize’ (Dan’s take on the Notorious B.I.G. tune) which is taken in the realms of American Indie-electro by PP, the result being a clash of UK Pop and US Hipster!

‘Symphonies’ is out June 26th.
Calvin Harris reMixes Passion Pit
Passion Pit’s brilliant upcoming single ‘The Reeling has been given the reMix treatment by Calvin Harris.
Whilst, personally, I don’t think it’s quite as good as the original, it does provide a sweet dancefoor version with some crazy slap bass action.
The more you listen to it the more it grown on you, if you don’t find yourself grooving a little to this you must be dead inside.
