The Saturday Mix #41 - just gimme a second and i'll tell you

Got the picture of the cassette from here.



Hidden Cameras - Underage
Really comical video whatwith all the painted faces, even more so when they go "wa-ooh-wa-ooh-wa-ooh". Right off the bat as they stare at each other and break off in unison after a cacophony of birds chirping, it somehow feels right. Lovely catchy beat and lyrics I've yet to fully comprehend. And the shower (of I don't know what) at the end is beautiful.

Hidden Cameras - Underage (Holy Fuck Remix)

Sebastian Tellier - La Ritournelle (Mr. Dan's Magic Wand Remix)
Twinkly xylophones (probably a sample) dot this relax soundscape by Mr Tellier.

Shout Out Louds - Fall Hard
How does a rock song feel so elegant and punchy at the same time?

Shout Out Louds - Fall Hard (Passion Pit's Summertime Radio Remix)
This sounds like a keeper. It has a Neon Indian feel to the remix, going all psych rock on this song. The synths add a different dimension to this song, lovely.

Music Go Music - Warm In The Shadows (Fred Falke Remix)
Fred Falke does an 8-bit treatment of this song. Feels really warm and summery. Let's do the boogey now and get sashaying down the streets!

Florrie - Panic Attack (Fred Falke Extended Mix) (mp3)
Link provided by her own site.

Ooh, one woman show it seems. And if Fred Falke graces her songs with his magic, he's prolly seeing something in her. And rightfully so, she sounds polished and that bassline sounds sweet as hell.

The Saturday Mix #39

Music Go Music - Light Of Love

Music Go Music - Light Of Love (diskJokke Remix) (mp3)
Up and coming Norwegian dude with a penchant for making some pretty dope remixes.

Foals - Olympic Airways (Supermayer Remix)

Lykke Li - Dance Dance Dance (Buraka Som Sistema Remix)
Those loops sound delicious as hell. Love that deep pulsing beat. Is that a genre that sounds like that? Pretty sure there is.

Hercules & Love Affair - Blind (Hercules Club Remix)
Interesting take on the song. They turned the horns part into something more electro sounding. You feel the bounce? Yeah, it's there.

Passion Pit - Sleepyhead (Cassette Club Remix)

Holiday for Strings - Two of You (The Toxic Avenger Remix)


Au Revoir Simone tomorrow night!!

the elegant present comes at dawn

Here's a poll for what you think is the top album for this year. Please vote once only and it's closing a week later. (Not that I expect many voters.) However, that said, there's prolly tonnes of good albums out there but I have to make a top 10 list to vote from so inevitably a lot get the cut, so you could just drop a comment with your favourite albums if they aren't in the list.





Atlas Sound - Shelia
Oh sweet, RCRDLBL has dropped a free download of this fantastic track off "Logos". Go get it!

Music Go Music - Warm In The Shadows
Oooh, it makes me feel so good. And swanky guitar riff 2/3s through the song, interesting! I like the voice, that hollowness present in it. This is what is said of them, "Music Go Music have the simple syrup of pop extravagance running through their veins. These arena-sized songs are composed with such savage efficiency that you find yourself humming along before two bars have gone by."

Yeasayer - Ambling Alp
I think this song is damn awesome. Looking forward to "Odd Blood". Dips on it to be a best album of 2010.

Phoenix - Girlfriend
This is Phoenix, nuff' said.
