Electric is the love

I’ve been scavenging the blogosphere and our inbox this evening and found some tracks worth posting about! And apparently I felt like talking about it!

I’ll start off with the biggest hype on the blogs the last few days: Stylo from the Gorillaz. The remixes from Alex Metric, Yuksek and Chiddy Bang have been posted on numerous blogs and are praised by many authors and readers. Now today Chemical Jump posted a new remix from my favourite French House producer: Louis La Roche. As expected very funky with a down-tempo beat. Perfect for a relaxing evening!

Another relaxing tune with some disco house influences comes from Moullinex who remixed Justin Faust‘s new release “Holdin’ on”. The digital release is available on Beatport. Not convinced yet? Check the original “Holdin’ On” and other production “Witty” on the Discodust blog.

Little Boots scored rather well with her debut album “Hands”, but apparently the album wasn’t released in the US/Canada yet. Thanks to Elektra the release will also be available in the US and Canada March 2nd. One of the exclusive new remixes comes from GRVRBBRS. They remixed Tune Into My Heart. Very funky with of course the brilliant vocals from miss Little Boots herself.

Gonzales is bringing more damage in the electronic dance scene then you would expect! His rework of Boys Noize & Erol Alkan – Waves was to say the least AMAZING. A few days ago he unleashed a mixtape on the blogosphere. Beats, perfect lyrics and the amazingly perfect fitting piano in the background. You can find the mixtape right here. Gonzales also made a rework of Rollin’ & Scratchin by Daft Punk, his success-formula applies here as well!

Time to crank this post up with some bouncy tunes. Die Antwoord took the internet by storm and socialchannels as Facebook and Twitter were flooded with Die Antwoord videos. Of course it didn’t take long for remixes to appear such as this one by Slap In The Bass. Not a top quality production but quite enjoyable, just see it as some “Next-Level Sh*t!”.

Last but not least a taster from the remix EP from our two Portuguese friends Zombies For Money (Dj Manaia and Klipar). Some interesting names on the remix EP: Malente, Jay Orbinson and Foamo, but if you want to get your hands on these remixes you’ll have to buy them on Beatport where the EP will be released the 25th February. We got, as a perfect taster, the remixes by Drop Top and Zeder.
