David Lynch Vs. Boys Noize (yes, you read that right!)

It gets weirder and weirder!

So, we introduced you to David Lynch’s new ElectroPop single a couple of weeks ago. Now, not only do you get the mindfuck that David Lynch has made an (actually really good) ElectroPop record, but now there is a Boys Noize reMix of it.

That’s right, Boys Noize reMixing an ElectroPop track by David Lynch. How often does that happen?

♫ David Lynch – Good Day Today (Boys Noize reMix)

‘Good Day Today’/’I Know’ is being released by Sunday Best with an Electro album coming next year.

Logo – BAAB

Here’s a nice slice of free cosmic Electro thanks to the folks at Kitsuné Music.

Hot on the heels of their acclaimed single ‘La Vie Moderne’/’Juniocide’, Logo have dropped this free “not an X-mas song” as an X-mas present to you all. It’s called ‘BAAB’ and it’s a pulsating, hypnotic jam that reminds me (in a good way) of Electro parties in 2008 it’s got that big post-Acid Electro bass going on, Just the kind of pumping electronics we don’t hear enough of these days.

♫ Logo – BAAB

‘La Vie Moderne’/’Juniocide’ is out now on Kitsuné.

Daft Punk’s Tron: Legacy soundtrack reMixed

You can’t move these days for reMixes of tracks from Daft Punk’s Tron:Legacy soundtrack, and quite honestly most of them are shit, which is a pity as the album itself is a work of art. Many people seemed shocked and upset that it didn’t sound like a new Daft Punk album but, really, what did they expect, it’s a soundtrack! If, like us, you dig soundtracks you’ll find Daft Punks OST an amazing mix of emotive score and electronics.

Anyway, here are a couple of actually really good reMixes that have come our way. DJ DLG drops a big noisy house mix of ‘Fall’ that could quite easily be massive on the dancefloor while still holding on to those strings to create a level of tension. Paris Electro guru DJ Aurélien Vialet gets ADD on ‘Derezzed’ creating tightly structured Electro choas. I’m still deciding about this kind of all-over-the-place Electro-House, sometimes it just sounds lazy, but when it’s done well, like Aurélien, it really rocks!

♫ Daft Punk – Fall (DJ DLG Lazor Legacy Mix)

♫ Daft Punk – Derezzed (Derezzonable reMix)

Nice injection of the original soundtrack too!

Daft Punk’s Tron: Legacy soundtrack is out now.

Feed Me

Feed Me is Deadmau5’ first external signing to his Mau5Trap label and the producer has an EP out at the start for next year titled ‘Feed Me’s Big Adventure’.

To build up the release Feed Me is giving away a special unreleased track ‘Jodie’ and it’s an odd mix of Fidget-House and retro synth lead lines. I’ve really got to be in the mood for Fidget, but when I am this track would totally fit the bill.

♫ Feed Me – Jodie (Radio Edit)

‘Feed Me’s Big Adventure’ is out in January.

Mille’s ‘Crysteena’ finally gets a video!

I love this track, absolutely love it. Loved it when it first came out. Still love it now.

In fact, Mille hasn’t put a musical foot wrong yet with either his productions or reMixes, we need to hear more from the man!

So, a year later ‘Crysteena’ gets a video courtesy of Upper First. Awesome it is too!

Did I mention that I loved the track?

New Mille can’t come soon enough!

electronic rumours mixtape: Pop-Fu 08

Ho ho ho! Being full of X-mas cheer today I’ll dish out the pressies early!

Here’s the latest Pop-Fu mixtape, it’s so full of rad ElectroPop and Nu-Disco that it’s stuffed more than your X-mas turkey!

01 Daft Punk – The Game Has Changed
02 Anoraak – Crazy Eyes (Mr. Mæn reMix)
03 Douze – We Got The Love
04 Kid Kasio – Not For Turning
05 Michael Cassette – Shadows Movement
06 Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls (Grum reMix)
07 Aeroplane – Superstar (The Krays reMix)
08 Vandroid – Master & Slave (Yuksek reMix)
09 Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – Household Goods

13 Super Mal – Rock The Night (Diamond Cut reMix)
14 Futurecop! – Venice Beach (4TrakZ reMix)
15 The Human League – Night People (Cerrone Club Mix)
16 OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark) – Sister Marie Says (Monarchy Twin Galaxies reMix)

Don’t forget my mince pie and glass of port!

EDIT: Well, for the sake of less than 30 seconds of a Daft Punk track in a mix which is, arguably, promoting their music, Walt Disney Records/Universal Music’ have seen fit to kill Pop-Fu 08.Seems a bit pathetic singling this mix out for infringement when a simple search of SoundCloud would reveal (at this time ) at least six illegal uploads of the whole track, but who are we to question the insane logic of a major record label.So Pop-Fu 08 is dead (and, not that I’m that bothered, but the play stats and comments too), lovg live Pop-Fu 08 (Redux)!Yes, it’s the same mix with the offending track removed and a whopping great fade in! I suppose you could pretend the intro is not longer made up of a Daft Punk track but a recording of John Cage’s 4’33”!

JBAG’s ‘X-Ray Sex’

January finally sees the release of Kitsuné DJs extraordinaire JBAG’s début artist single.

After numerous awesome reMixes and two essential mix albums (‘Kitsuné BoomBox’ and ‘Kituné X Ponystep’) the duo of Jerry Bouthier and Andrea Gorgerino have teamed up with ex-Ping Pong Bitches frontwoman Louise Prey on ‘X-Ray Sex’.

First heard on the Kitsuné X Ponystep’ compilation, ‘X-ray Sex’ is a pretty stunning début, these two have cranked out some amazing reMixes and edits in the past few years and you can see how things were heading in this direction. Equal parts ElectroPop and House with a nice 80’s flavour (particularly in the bassline), it’s defiantly got a London vibe to it as well. For something a little heavier check the Jolie Cherie reMix which sounds like a mash-up between early 90’s House and some killer Electro bass!

Chromeo Vs. Duck Sauce – Brother Vs. Brother

It’s still a few weeks to the release of Chromeo’s ‘Hot Mess’ single and their massive duet version of the track featuring with Elly Jackson from La Roux but the reMixes have already started coming in.

Funkin’ things up are Duck Sauce, who I’m sure you’re aware are Armand Van Helden and Chromeo’s Dave’s Brother and reMixer/DJ supreme A-Track. Their reMix is exactly the kind of big room House track we’d expect from these two. Expect to hear this version in the clubs very soon!

♫ Chromeo (Feat. Elly Jackson From La Roux) – Hot Mess (Duck Sauce reMix)

The ‘Hot Mess’ single is out 17th January and along with the original and the new duet features reMixes from the likes of Duck Sauce and Tiga.

Danger Vs. Nero

We’ve already bigged-up Nero’s new video game Dubstep tune ‘Me & You’. It’s a track we’re really digging. Just to add to out love of the tune 8-bit Electro-House guru Danger has dropped his reMix of the track.

Danger creates a hybrid of his console Electro and the original’s 80’s action movie theme epicness dropping ElectroPop riffs over the track’s power chords to awesome effect. It’s been a while since we heard anything from Danger, let’s hope this is remedied soon with an EP in the works.
