Danger Vs. La Roux

I get the feeling ‘In For The Kill’ is due for a rerelease. La Roux has been chatting about filming a new video for it on her Twitter feed and now we have this gem. It’s only bloody Danger reMixing La Roux init!!!

Danger and La Roux is an awesome combination, and it doesn’t disappoint. It does, however, surprise. It’s a mid-tempo, bass heavy, almost Dubsteppy in places jam that drops in bits and pieces of familiar Danger style melody. It works amazingly well and comes off as a kinda’ 80’s Dubstep track. New genre anyone?

♫ La Roux – In For The Kill (Danger Ocean reMix)

No release date for the rereleased ‘In For The Kill’ yet, looks like soon though.

LexiconDon; two new versions of ‘Student Body’

Well, this summer truly is the summer of LexiconDon!

See that little search box to the right? Well if you type ‘LexiconDon’ in there you will be rewarded with about a days worth of reading and music. We’ve written about the LA SynthPoppers quite a lot in recent months, but hell their début album, ‘Pink + Blue’, really was that good. We thought so anyway.

So here we have a couple of new reMixes of the second released track from the album ‘Student Body’ courtesy of the boys label dubFrequency.

De Pepe Guinta brings us a very chilled, slightly Indie, slightly Chillwave mix but we are brought straight back to the dancefloor by TomAHawk with a feel good, retro synth, house stormer!

♫ LexiconDon – Student Body (De Pepe Guinta reMix)

♫ LexiconDon – Student Body (TomAHawk reMix)

LexiconDon’s ‘Pink + Blue’ is out now on dubFrequency/Binary, and keep it locked to electronic rumors for our forthcoming Binary event!

New Florrie reMixes: Fred Falke & Justin Faust

Xenomania drummer/songwriter Florrie has a new single out soon, ‘Give Me Your Love’ which, as well as being a nice slice of Pop, will also feature reMixes from habitual Florrie reMixer Fred Falke and the man Justin Faust.

Falke’s reMix is a power Pop track with arpeggios that drag you straight to the dancefloor, but it’s Justin Faust’s reMix that really hooks. From the electro toms onward it’s a crazy good Nu-Disco stormer.

♫ Florrie – Give Me Your Love (Fred Falke Club Edit)

Oh, and Florrie’s a Bristol girl too! Much love!

‘Give Me Your Love’ is out soon.

Anoraak Vs. Neon Indian: Chillwave Vs. Dreamwave

Neon Indian is re-releasing his critically acclaimed album of last year ‘Psychic Chasms’ as a deluxe edition complete with reMix CD.

The disk features work from the likes of Yacht, Dntel and this reMix of the title track from Valerie staple and all round retro synth genius Anoraak. It’s an interesting study on two different approaches to SynthPop, the original’s dreamy Lo-Fi psychedelia against Anoraak’s 80’s looking, Nu-Disco flavoured, chilled ElectroPop.

Chillwave Vs. Dreamwave! Fight!

♫ Neon Indian – Psychic Chasms (Anoraak reMix)

The deluxe edition, titled ‘Mind Ctrl: Psychic Chasms Possessed’ is out September 28th.

Monarchy & Penguin Prison reMix new Jamiroquai single

Mid-90’s funkateers Jamiroquai are kicking back this year with a new album and someone on team Jamiroquai has good taste when it comes to picking reMixers ‘cos you can’t get better than Monarchy and Penguin Prison!

‘White Knuckle Ride’ will be the lead single from the forthcoming album ‘Rock Light Dust Star’ and it gets transformed into two awesome slices of DiscoPop by Monarchy and Penguin Prison. Both versions are top quality but if I had to, gun to the head, favour one I think it would be Monarchy’s ElectroPop/Nu-Disco slant (although PP’s had a wicked lead line!)

♫ Jamiroquai – White Knuckle Ride (Monarchy reMix)

‘Rock Light Dust Star’ comes out this November.

Beaumont reMixes Housse De Racket

Beaumont, the hardest working man in unsigned showbusiness, is back with another storming reMix, this time for Housse De Racket.

Featuring on the UK release of their ‘Forty Love’ album, which comes bundled with a bonus reMix CD, his version of ‘Dans L’Avion’ has all the elements we love about a Beaumont reMix. That smooth Nu-Disco he has become synonymous with subtly brushed with a bit of 8-bit chaos.

Check it.

♫ Housse De Racket – Dans L’Avion (Beaumont reMix)

‘Forty Love (Bonus reMix Edition)’ is released this week.

Monsieur Adi reMixes Paper Crows

Paper Crows are a UK duo who incorporate elements of Dub, Trip-Hop, Electronica and Dubstep to create a haunting and atmospheric, yet soulful, sound.

Which, of course, is taken apart and put back together with strips of ElectroPop and Nu-Disco by the awesome Monsieur Adi for their forthcoming début single ‘Stand Alight’. Adi, who literally makes the track sound like a different song, manager to work the melancholic ballad into an upbeat floorfiller.

‘Stand Alight’ is released October 11th, until then check out Paper Crows at their MySpace.

Aeroplane featuring Chromeo

The second single from Aeroplane’s ‘We Can’t Fly’ album will be ‘Superstar’ and will feature a special version of the track with a little help from Chromeo!

Returning the favour for Aeroplane’s rad reMix of their ‘Don’t Turn The Lights On’, Chromeo drop the funk and some smooth vocals over the track. Seriously, the pairing of Aeroplane and Chromeo is awesome, and the track sounds like the three of them just jamming out.
