Heads We Dance Feat. Little Boots

HeadsWeDance2

Heads We Dance have been rumoured to be doing a track with Little Boots for a while now and here is the fruits of that labour.

‘Work It Out’ is the B-side to HWD’s forthcoming single ‘When The Sirens Sound’, a single that will include reMixes from such exiting names as Don Diablo, Russ Chimes and Hot Pink Delorean. There should be some fantastic 80’s sounding dance tracks amongst that lot!

‘Work It Out’ is a bit more guitary than we have come to expect from Heads We Dance but is a fun tune nonetheless. it will go down a treat on any Indie dancefloor. Nice big rock chorus!

Keats’ Handwriting

KeatsHandwriting

Keats’ Handwriting are a boy/girl Indie-ElectroPop duo from Florida who’s music is strangely intriguing.

Managing to be, at once, raw and soulful, Keats’ Handwriting take ballsy, chaotic drums and layer, on top, cute synth ditties filtered and distorted beyond recognition, and the pairs quaint folksy vocals.

I’m hearing little bits of Freezepop or Venus Hum, but with and exiting live attitude. Apparently, many of the synth sound aren’t actually synths. It’s that kind of experimental feel that sets them apart from other whimsical SynthPop acts.

Expect to hear more of Keats’ Handwriting!

Calvin Harris reMixes Passion Pit

PassionPIt3

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.

‘The Reeling’ is out on May 11th followed by Passion Pit’s début album ‘Manners’ on May 18th.

Empire Of The Sun Vs. The Golden Filter

EmpiteOfTheSun3

Empire Of The Sun are often reMixed, some good, some mediocre. When you have a name like The Golden Filter who have repeatedly dropped top quality Disco gems you know you’re in for one of the good ones.

The Golden Filter bring a little of their ‘Sold Gold’ magic to the table. Their dreamy Electro Disco seems a perfect fit with Empire Of The Sun’s track.

Spencer Product

SpencerProduct

Old school ElectroClash (if there can be such a thing?) nightclub legend Spencer Product explodes from the New York scene once more with a new release on Coco Machette.

The Original Mix of ‘We Bite!’ is pretty standard ElectrocClash fare, I was always a little suspicious of ElectroClash, but there are some excellent reMixes from current BlogHouse darlings Designer Drugs and Tronik Youth the former putting the groove back into the song and the latter creating a robotic disco epic.

La Roux Vs. Wookie

LaRoux6

With ‘Bulletproof’, La Roux’s third single, incoming it’s time to brace ourselves for the inevitable tide of reMixes…not that that’s a bad thing.

Here La Roux are taken on by London House Award magnet Wookie who gives us a odd, but compelling, tom-tom-tastic reMix.

It’s all 909’s and heavy bass!

‘Bulletproof’ is out on June 15th.

New Ladyhawke reMix

Ladyhawke5

Ah Pip, when are we getting some new material? Well, in the absence of a new Ladyhawke record it’s always nice when new reMixes come your way.

Here we have another reMix of ‘Back Of The Van’. This time Sydney producer Beaumont cooks up a delicious 80’s treat with some fantastic gated synths and piano bridge.

♫ Ladyhawke – Back Of The Van (Beaumont’s Zirconium Throne reMix) (zShare) (MediaFire)

It looks like ‘Back Of The Van’ might be getting a re-release, no doubt this isn’t the last reMix we will hear.
