From funky to experimental

After all that mixtape violence it’s time for a load of tracks! Got a lot of nice blog submissions the last few days and here is a (still) rather small selection of it! First few tracks are a bit more funky and chill while the second batch is a lot more rougher and experimental!

Chromeo‘s new single “Don’t Turn The Lights On” is getting a lot of blog love. For good reasons of course, it’s a very nice track accompanied with this very cool video as well. What me interested the most is the remix by Aeroplane, good stuff as always from Vito:

And while we are sharing remix for french bands, here is the Mixhell remix for Jamaica – Short and Entertaining. Igor Cavalera made a guest apperience in the offcial videoclip so this remix didn’t came as a big suprise! If Jamaica plays their cards right they will be come huge, I already had the chance to listen to the full album which is coming later this month and it’s absolutely brilliant!

Let’s crank things up a bit and add some more bass to the game. Dolby Anol is coming with a new digital EP “Visa Mastercard”. For this EP they focussed on african rythems and ancient chants from the east, add a lot of hard claps and heavy basses and you get yourself the Dolby Anol trademark. Not the biggest fan of foreign-like chants though … and therefor this free “American Express” track they added I dig the most.

Malente is currently working hard on his own label “No Brainer Records” and in november he’ll release an EP “Tanzan Boys” on it with remixes from producers from all over the world (Them Jeans, Reset!, Rubix, …). This next one is a remix he did for Crystal Fighters. Very funk southern feel too it …

Crystal Fighters – In The Summer (Malente Remix)

Now it’s time for those more experimental tunes! The first one is a free track coming from Mako Records (Proxy’s label). Very experimental, futuristic touches for those creepy late dark nights… spooky.

Marseille – Speaking Phantom

Simian Mobile Disco made an Mix CD for the US based FIXED. From what I can tell FIXED is a party concept and SMD is one of their main residents. The mix cd resembles a mixture of deep disco, techno records but as they say theirself “without forgetting it’s still a party!”.

Beat & Bang were so generous to give away a free track. It’s called “Listen to Moscow” and brings us beats and wobbles you could expect coming from a label like Mako Records in my opinion. Will be hearing from the a lot in the future I think.

And to end this post a short cool video from Zombie Nation playing with his new KORG Monotron toy. Cool to watch in case you haven’t seen it yet!

Oh Yeah!

Housse De Racket is an electronic rock duo who’ve already passed this blog in the past. I recently saw some footage of them playing at an exclusive party for some brand (can’t recall which one) and it was pretty amazing. I’m hoping they’ll find their way to Belgium in the future! Apparently Victor and Pierre (the two guys from Housse De Racket) have done some work in the past with Phoenix (who by the way were amazing at Rock Werchter), Air and more… . We have two new remixes for “Oh Yeah!”, a bit down tempo, but perfect for this hot weather over here! If you liking these remixes you should get the 7′ release with the original and a remix by Chilly Gonzales: right here

Straight out of space

Today I got some tracks lined up for you all that will make you believe you’re flying true space (drugs not included)! Very futuristic synths and relaxing vocals are the central topics this time.

I’ll start of with a very mysterious Australian producer “Universe” (is this spacey or what?!) who apparently is getting a lot of good feedback on his remixes. His true identity I can not share! But the following two remixes fit perfectly in today’s pinned subject. I only have a remark on the Sebastien Tellier Remix, I think he looped the main vocal a bit too much…?

Next up “Acid Washed” a duo from France who combine vintage and modern equipment to create electronic music with a sharp pop touch. For some reason the beginning starts very fimiliar, but again … very spacey! (yes, spacey is my word of the day)

If we are in space, we want to go fast right? So let’s hit the hyperdrive and cruise along with this new Barretso remix! He did a remix for Housse De Racket, the original sounds very pop/rock like, you can check the original video right here. Add some Barretso trademarked electronic sounds and BOOM! you get one banging remix.
