The french strike again

shapeimage_21

Figured I had to post this sooner or later. I’ve been loving this track since I first heard it on Fake Blood’s essential mix. The track, of course, is ‘End Run’ by Vektorkat. It’s a real refresher for the french electro scene, with it’s crisp synths and hard-hitting beat. Be sure to grab this one, along with their remix of Mr. Oizo’s ‘Positif’, another track that has really been renewed after being remixed about a thousand times. Enjoy these, and definitely be sure to check out Vektorkat on their myspace.

Vektorkat – End Run

Mr. Oizo – Positif (Vektorkat Remix)

Oh, and since I mentioned the essential mix before, I thought I’d throw this in too. It’s the R!M!E! remix of Mars, definitely one of it’s better remixes. I’m sure you’ll agree.

I’m not alone + remixes

calvin_harris_05

Not a massively big Calvin Harris fan. Nonetheless his new release has been held in high esteem, and it’s pretty good too. Something real nice to chill out to, definitely. Plus remixes by Herve and Deadmau5, so you can’t go wrong.

Ugh, need to buy a new, working computer, so I can check out whats going on more than once every few days. Found out the the ‘fake blood remix’ was bogus about half an hour after posting it and just now got ’round to fixing that one. At least everyone got a good laugh out of it. Me too.

Anyway, here are things by Herve, I suppose. I’m tired now.

I am really sick and am also working on original tracks/a first EP for Surprise Junkies.  Anyway, here are some songs no matter what, I suppose. Be excited, because here is the 320kb version of Raven; or that is, the Crookers remix, which we’ve all been waiting for. Finally we get to hear it without that Radio 1 gibberish in the way. Bet dj’s will go nuts over this. But hell, I will too.

The Fake Blood Essential Mix

fake_blood-dan_wilton

Haven’t really seen too much action lately on the Essential Mix front, but this time around we have a real good one; it’s none other than Fake Blood. This one is a little different, ’cause it’s in two parts. Hour one for the club, hour two for the afterparty. This means you get go insane for a bunch of bangers and then leave the next hour to cool off to something a little more chilled. This is definitely one of the best mixes Radio 1 have given us, so make sure you give it a listen.

Get y’all boots on

little-boots

Sorry I haven’t blogged lately. Not really in the mood. Just don’t know what to post and don’t really like much new production lately. ANYWAY, I will blog about Little Boots, because as you will all know she is fast becoming one of the internet’s, and possibly real life’s biggest new acts. Don’t really want to elaborate because like I said, don’t feel like blogging, but here are these remixes which you are STRONGLY urged to download. Although, I have to say that I don’t like the Fred Falke remix, it’s pretty much just boring. But I figured I would include it, since it is so popular… for some reason. WOO.

Keep yo’ heads up!

soundofstereo14

Feel kinda weird ‘cuz I though I had actually posted this one before but I suppose I just forgot? Well, whatever. Hear are three sweet remixes of Sound Of Stereo’s “Heads Up!”, one by The Bloody Beetroots, one by Nic Sarno and one by Mightyfools. Just a word of advice; I know how BBS are such a big deal and how much people love their shit, but just don’t let the other two remixes take a complete back seat to it, because they are really great. Get ‘em right now.

Slow on the uptake

yeah-yeah-yeahs2

Once again! Well, I’ll get up to speed eventually. Anyway, this is a post about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They’ve got a new single out, and indeed, a new album, titled It’s Blitz!. You should BUY IT. Anyway, the new single Zero shows us that the album is clearly electronic based, which is a new direction for them, but perhaps a refreshing one. We’ll see how well it’s recieved anyway. At the very least, it’s great to know that they’re back on form, since Is Is was one of the worst releases I’ve heard. Anyway, buy the album, and enjoy the new single!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Zero

UPDATE!
Okay, just found out about another track – Heads Will Roll. It’s a good ‘un!

With a whole array of artists from all over bringing this sound, it’s hard to escape it lately. Heres some of my favourite tracks, new and old, of said genres. Along with this, I’m throwing in AC Slater’s new one, Rock It Out. You should BUY THE  EP!
