X-mas track-gift extravaganza!

I’m a bit late with my christmas (or w/e) post, but it’s that time of year a lot of producers decide to give away free tracks. I’ve been saving up all (or most of them) for this post. I’m not going to describe every track in this post, that’s something I’ll spend my time on for the top 10 list. So without anymore boring text, I hope you enjoyed the Christmas holidays so far and hope you enjoy the next batch of free tracks as well!

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:

Next a dreamy, very easy listening remix by Edwin Van Cleef for Housse De Racket – Champions.

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!

Jamaica – Short And Entertaining (Mixhell Remix)

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.

Dolby Anol – American Express

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!”.

Simian Mobile Disco – Nerve Salad

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!

JAMAICA – Short and Entertaining

Up and coming!

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!

Soulwax – E-talking (Faisal remix)

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.
