Justice – On’N'On (Faisal Remix)

Other judges were staring at me weird when I said Faisal should be nominated for last years Red Bull Elektropedia Awards. Well, ok, I’ll admit it probably was a bit soon, because his big “breakthrough” came some time after the awards with his big win at the Limbomania dj contest. Now, Faisal is finally getting the attention he deserves. He already has been teasing us with small clips on youtube/souncloud of upcoming remixes but I bet nobody saw this one coming. This next remix for Justice – On’n'On is, yet again, brilliant. It just sounds like the original track was produced for the hip-hop lines he added to it. I kinda start sounding like a fanboy, but there is no way around Faisal this year!

Faisal – Penelope Dickstop (Breakbot)

Last week (and this week as well actually) I had to focus most of my time on other stuff (work, dj’ing, home, … etc) but I just can’t miss my beloved blog for more than a week I guess! So let’s get posting again and I’ll start with an awesome remix/rework by Faisal. He took the baseline of Penelope Pitstop by Breakbot completely turned it around and added elements from Mr. Oizo’s Cut Dick and for the good listeners you can even recognize a Michael Jackson sample!

Okay, my last post for the day focusses on some younger and new talent trying to get there stuff out there.
First up are two youngsters who go by the name “Tex Taiwan” they started somewhere 2008 and are finally coming with their very first album. Their music style falls in line with bands as Crystal Castles and Kap Bambino. Damaged Hearts is the name of this album that will be released digitaly the 21st June, but first there will be two single releases: ‘Labyrinth’ plus YLHCSD remix released on the 10th May & ‘Haphazard’ plus Aerotronic remix out on the 31st May.

Tex Taiwan – Labyrinth

Faisal sent me a remix for “Soulwax – E Talking”. As a big, big (seriously big) fan of Soulwax I was very curious and I must say, for an unknown Belgian guy, he did a rather good job on this one. The whole remix just feels right, great build ups, good sampling (I hear a sample coming from Justice, correct me if I’m wrong), I like!

Last but not least, a band that has been featured on many blogs the last few weeks. Jamaica (that’s how they are called) almost literaly came out of nowhere. Their Debut album is coming soon and is produced by Xavier de Rosnay and Daft Punk sound Engineer Peter Franco! Check out these two awesome remixes and if you haven’t already, watch this official videoclip.
