Catch the MEN

JD Samson of Le Tigre’s band MEN are finally heading for the UK for a bunch of shown in London and to drum up a little bit extra interest they’ve dropped a couple of reMixes of their ballad ‘Simultaneously’.

New Brooklyn based outfit Tête-À-Tête really do a good job, turning the tune into a full-on ElectroPop floorfiller complete with House piano and Soaring lead lines. Hipster DJ Lauren Flax chills things out more with a deep spacey mix.

Ocelot’s new single

I’m quite exited to hear Ocelot’s début album ‘No Requests’ when it is released, they’ve done some storming reMixes in recent years such as Kap10Kurt , Robyn, Muse, The Killers & Røyksopp, all of them top notch.

Before the album comes the single ‘Our Time’, a anthem for a electronic generation, featuring reMixes by the likes of Kap10Kurt, Calvertron and this one by Bird Petierson who take the vocodered vocals and hits the danceflor running!

‘Our Time’ is out soon on Wall Of Sound.

FutureFlashs

German future Electro act FutureFlashs has been all over the music blogosphere for a year now with many of his tunes and reMixes causing quite a stir.

Now he’s about to drop his first EP for new label KIEZ BEATS, titled ‘Reach’ and it’s a big dirty space-age Electro epic. Check out the robot Synth attack of Blokgolf’s reMix:

♫ FutureFlashs – Reach (Blokgolf reMix (Promo Edit)) (zShare) (MediaFire)

Other reMixes on the EP include Sick Boy & Traxx Dillaz

I’m not sure if the repeating vocal “FutureFlashs Reach reMix!” was laid on especially for this promo version, but it works really well!!!! Keep it in there!

The ‘Reach’ EP is released 26th January:

Kids At The Bar reMix Quiet Riot

We last featured one of Kids At The Bar’s reMixes back here but now have sent on over a little something they have been having fun with in between projects. it’s a big ol’ Electro reMix of American Rock anthem ‘Cum On Feel The Noise’ by Quiet Riot.

Not much to say about it except it’s fun and actually quite cool. It put a smile on my face today!

New M.I.A. track!

M.I.A. just dropped some brand new material, in the form of this video titled ‘There’s Space For Ol Dat I See‘, via Twitter.

Not much is known, even whether that is the title, but more than likely it’s a track from her long awaited follow up to 2007’s Kala, which is being recorded right now, produced by Blaqstarr. I would say that this is a teaser in the form of raw session material, but it’s actually a really nice track. If the album come out anytime this summer then this laidback electro Hip-Hop could be the soundtrack to chilled summer afternoons!

Mirror People

House/Electronica producer Rui Maia is back and dropping beats under the guise of Mirror People. Counting New Order, Add N To (X), Giorgio Moroder and Suicide amongst his influences (and you can bet Kraftwerk too!), you can see them shine through in this almost minimal slice of Electro. ‘Diamonds’ is a blipy little tune whose sheer electronicness can’t help but put a smile on my face.

Check out a couple of reMixes he’s done for Detachments (really Kraftwerky!) and blogtastic Nu-Disco act Neon Indian.

Ali Love Harderer

We’ve already hit you with Ali Love’s forthcoming single ‘Love Harder’ and in our excitement for the single dropping we’ve can’t help but share with you two reMixes from the release.

Tronik Youth turn in quite a minimal, quite old school House, mix that has some SynthPop overtones that all works pretty well together while Jaymo & Andy George’s wonky rave reMix beefs up the original.

Cavaliers Of Fun

UK based Ricco Vitali A.K.A. Cavaliers Of Fun has been getting quite a bit of hype on the more discerning blogs this week, and well deserved too as he takes on Dreamwave from a slightly left-field position.

Mixing up elements of Dreamwave, Space-Synth and Chiptune, ‘Midnight Resistance’ is a kinda’ ‘what if’ Jean-Michel Jarre was a C64 obsessive who started hanging out with College and the Valerie crew. Are you comfortable with that? Well you won’t be expecting ‘Secret Galaxies’ then, which suddenly swings Cavaliers Of Fun over to the Van She side of Indie-Electro.

Varied, crazy cool, and…well…fun!
