The Saturday Mix #25 - you caught me under false pretense



The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Higher Than the Stars (Saint Etienne Visits Lord Spank Mix)
Pretty long band name plus 2 collabs on the remix = what a mouthful this title is. Very slow version, almost fit for ballroom dancing.

Muse - Supermassive Black Hole (Emre B Remix)
The remix at times tends to overwhelm the song, but overall pretty decent remix.

Miike Snow - Black & Blue (Jaymo & Andy George Remix)

Feist - My Moon My Man (Boys Noize Classic Remix)
I had never ever expected there to be a remix of such a song! It's like does Rachael Yamagata have a remix? Maybe I should go check it out and see if there's a remix of her. This is really cool, probably Alexander Ridha (Boys Noize is just his stage name) running his voice through the vocoder to give that "My Moon My Man" backdrop beat. FUNKY! And he doesn't ruin the original at that, it's more intertwined, giving My Moon My Man an alternative life as a dance song. It's a real pleasant surprise.

Two Door Cinema Club - I Can Talk (Crystal Fighters Remix)
Remember them? Here's a Crystal Fighters remix.

Passion Pit- Sleepyhead (LOL Boys Remix)
I don't like the first 2 minutes of the song, where they just added in stuff for the sake of doing so. The portion where the remix was done on the song was so much better. It would suffice if you cut the first 2 minutes off.

MSTRKRFT - Heartbreaker (feat. John Legend) (Laidback Luke Remix)
Dutch maestro Luke van Scheppingen gives his spin on this MSTRKRFT favourite.

The Saturday Mix #14 - today is saturday.



Oh dear me. it's the last Saturday of the month already. Anyway, on Monday, there's gonna be the end of month post, so look out for it!

I think I should be changing The Saturday Mix a bit. I'm gonna start posting remixes of songs and awesome dancier soongs. Sometimes there'd be the occasional house track. Think I sorta did that the last Saturday, so anyhow, here goes!


Arctic Monkeys - Dangerous Animals (The Raged Remix)
Here's the guys who brought you Brianstorm and their latest single(?) Crying Lightning. The original Dangerous Animals is here but I'm more or less neutral towards it.

OH MY GOD. the start to this remix, SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE ANOTHER SONG AND I CAN'T PUT A NAME TO THE SONG. MY HEAD BLANKED OUT, SOMEONE HELP ME OUT. there's the lyrics "i'll never find you"

Passion Pit - The Reeling (Shuttle's Super Club Mega Mix '99)
New boys who've come rocking into electronic town has Shuttle to call their own. Nate Donmoyer who plays the drums, IS Shuttle! This "self-remix" is good stuff. Frenchkiss Records has got gold in their hands. First Passion Pit, and now The Antlers.

The Raged - Home Experiment
There's no lyrics, but hell this doesn't take away the awesomeness in this song.

Shakira - She Wolf (Calvin Harris Remix)
I heard She Wolf somewhere, can't remember. Then I chanced upon this Calvin Harris remix, and it's made the song way more suited for the dancefloor. Makes the original very muted after listening to this. And I don't really fancy the pseudo wolf howling in the original.

John Legend - Everybody Knows (RAC Remix)
Those who haven't listened to the MSTRKRFT song Heartbreaker featuring John Legend should really go listen to it now. And here's the original Everybody Knows. And this song is indeed dope.

deadmau5 - Faxing Berlin

Empire of the Sun - We Are The People
the scent of lemon, drips from your eyes/we are the people who rule the world

i could get to know you.. but i just want to dance.





Martin Solveig (feat. Dragonette) - Boys & Girls
This song seems like pure unadulterated fun and whimsical pop. Damn awesome. Sexy and cheeky. Throw in some French, makes this oh so good.

Note the clothes in the video. Screams fashion.

MSTRKRFT (feat. John Legend) - Heartbreaker
And I bring you some MSTRKRFT. AND JOHN LEGEND. Really trippy and wicked video. Love it.

Franz Ferdinand - Can't Stop Feeling
Another awestastic video. Mighty fine day for good videos. This is the third single off their latest album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand.


Dirty Projectors - Stillness Is The Move
Dirty Projectors with main man Dave Longstreth should be on everyone's radars soon if not, already registering on the radars. With their latest album Bitte Orca which was mentioned as one of the albums to look out for in June, they sure are making us sit up and take note.


These songs totally made my terrible day so much better. Cheers to you people.
