Marina’s made my week!

Seriously! Ever since these two reMixes of Marina And The Diamonds forthcoming single, ‘Mowgli’s Road’ (Originally the B-side of ‘Obsessions’), dropped into the electronic rumors inbox I haven’t been able to stop listening to them.

And don’t make me pick between the two, I couldn’t do it. Mille’s rework is upbeat with a bouncing bassline. It’s arpeggios and strings brilliantly capture the epicness of the original while Valerie man Russ Chimes brings his 80’s styled disco funk to the track and then hits you with massive electro breakdowns.

Two seriously good reMixes:

Check the original too, in all it’s quirky brilliance!

‘Mowgli’s Road’ drops on November 16th and can be pre ordered at PureGroove, it comes B-sided with a cover of Late Of The Pier’s ‘Space And The Woods’.

The Presets’ ‘If I Know You’ reMixed

ThePresets3

Naked Highway have only gone and reMixed one of my favourite tracks by The Presets haven’t they!

Their take on ‘If I Know You’ is a full on Roland-fest, old school clean Roland sounds make up this straight up dance mix. I love this track anyway, I swear it’d be impossible to mess up a reMix with these vocals.

Really dsiggin the drums in this.

Oh, and there’s a Radio Edit in case you’re, y’know, ADD or something.

The week in Bangers: 07:06:09

The week in Bangers: While electronic rumors isn’t strictly an Electro-House blog, we do cover a lot of Electro-House that crosses over in to our realm. So many good club tunes and reMixes surface each week we can’t (and wouldn’t) cover them all, so this is a round up of some of the best from the week that we didn’t have time to dedicate individual posts to…

This weeks club roundup starts off with another reMix of La Roux’s ‘Bulletproof’ by tEPr and a Vitalic reMix of Birdy Nam Nam’s ‘The Parachute Ending’. Friendly Fires get reworked by Stuart Price A.K.A. Thin White Duke and Death To The Throne take on a Lykke Li cover of a Kings Of Leon song. Fredrick Carlsson reMixes Jonathan Johansson as Johan Agebjörn does for Friday Bridge. The Preset’s K.I.M tackles Bag Raiders’ ‘Turbo Love’ and the forthcoming Simian Mobile Disco single is given the treatment by Naum Gabo. Enjoy!

Good Luck At The Gunfight summer lovin’

“Kimberly is about a girl. Puma is about a woman.”

That’s how Good Luck At The Gunfight describe the latest tracks they dropped in the electronic rumors Inbox and when you keep that in mind it kinda’ makes sense.

We blogged GLATG a few months ago (well, raved about them really) and since then they have polished up the production and brought us two tracks that are a lot smoother than their previous delivery. With sweet lead lines and vocodered vocals these are two, in their own words, “electric summer love songs”.

I couldn’t agree more.

Pony Pony Run Run

Getting some major airplay in Europe is French ElectroPop trio Pony Pony Run Run’s latest single ‘Hey You’. The accompanying reMixes are a really great crop of tunes.

Pony Pony Run Run themselves have dropped a stunning dance reMix. Heavier than the original it’s a ice cold Nu-Disco/ElectroPop mashup.

StereoHeroes have fun with their reMix, warping sound and bringing an old school dance flavour before dropping the Disco riffs while sayCet go completely the opposite direction and deliver an ambient, chilled noise lullaby that sounds like the world winding down.

Emil & Friends – Downed Economy

Emil & Friends have dropped a whole mess of reMixes of their forthcoming ‘Downed Economy’ 7”.

The original is a strange and wonderful Synth Funk garage jam. Making the track their own are Dim Mak’s Dan Oh who ups the groove factor to 9.5 with dirty synths and wobbly bass. Mr. Vegas’ version is a lot more abrasive, rapid fire bass and heavy beats seem to pin down the floaty vocals while the same vocals sit perfectly with Beaumont’s atmospheric retro House track.

Marina’s not a robot…

Post-Tori quirkpop’s of the moment Marina And The Diamonds are all set to release their ‘The Crown Jewels EP’ soon and the lead track on the EP ‘I Am Not A Robot’ has been given the reMix treatment by The Shoes and Starsmith.

the Shoes turn in a really cool Electro funker which shouldn’t go well with Marina’s vocals…but does, while Starsmith does something a bit more classic ElectroPop, it’s pretty epic with layers of fantastic synth work.

The Faint reMixed by La Dolce Vita

We’ve previously featured on of his reMixes here, now La Dolce Vita has dropped three official reMixes into the electronic rumors Inbox. Most interestingly (to me anyway) is a reMix of The Faint’s ‘Forever Growing Centipedes’ from their last album, ‘Fascination’.

Turning a punky garage Electro track into a dancefloor epic the reMix finds a way to perfectly match Fink’s Vocals with a bouncy, almost Italo, bassline and slick production.

LDV has also performed reMix duties for US Electro rockers Innerpartysystem.
