Acid Ted likes Acid Invaders, when they do their acid-tinged dance pop thing. We’ve had their work a few times but never one of their remixes. In tribute to LCD Soundsystem’s last show on 3 April, they’ve remixed Tribulations. I’m not really a fan of LCD Soundsystem but this remix makes it bright, sparkly and poppier. [...]
New EP out on a new label – 530Techno – from Northern California. The artist – Oilpanic – isn’t known to me comes from Sweden but is now based in California. The EP involves some spartan techno and is saved by a lovely Detroit remix from Symbio. The tracks are TWL1, which is a pretty spartan sounding [...]
Lord Warddd is Phil Ward ins solo guise when on leave from Lo Fidelity Allstars. We had his previous single back in October (still available to download here). This time a track from his debut album Saturday Night Is Ours. Last time, it was “big dumb, good time disco”. The track – Say You Will [...]
Carl Craig’s remix of Gus Gus’ Polyesterday is one of my favourite tracks. I therefore approached Dirtyhertz’ remix of the remix with some trepidation, not least since his remix of Stereo MCs Connected was so awful I couldn’t post it (here) and a complete contrast to how good was his remix of Orbital’s Halcyon (here). As [...]
Daft Punk remixes from the Tron theme album by Count Effectz and The 14th Minute. 
Another remix by the normally excellent The 14th Minute synth duo. Last time their indie remix was of Tim & Jean’s Come Around which was electro-styled. This time it is of Two Door Cinema Club, from Northern Ireland. The 14th Minute turn their What You Know single into a summery wave-your-hands-in-the-air indie disco track. The remix is [...]
I was reminded of this by new blog Method of Dance posting the Interference remix of the track, from the War Babies single in 1998 (see here). The original track from the Sister Feelings Call album has barely dated from 1981. Its electro stylings still sounding relevant today. The Interference mix is by Tim Simenon [...]
A dubstep remix of The Beatles’ Eleanor Rigby can’t work can it? Sort of. This is by Danish artist Jacob Bogh and makes extensive use of the strings at the start of the original track, set against a downtempo, midly dubstep beat. The track takes its time to get anywhere with a spliffed out, late night [...]
This comes from Finland out of Canada. Maiyal is a new artist, based in Ottawa. He sounds ridiculously young. A couple of tracks to listen and download. Colours is first up. This is a nice piece of chilling dub techno with lots of space and echoes. The tinkling sounds half way through give it a [...]
There are a lot of remixes of Orbital – official and unofficial. But few of them have really grabbed me. The remix of Halcyon by Dirtyhertz (see here) being one notable exception. Here’s another - to listen and download. Gazzman takes on the not inconsiderable challenge of remixing Orbital’s spy soundtrack epic The Box. In its [...]
