The Saturday Mix #32 - love is all we are, the rest amounts to nothing



Rob - Femme et Enfant (feat. Sebastien Tellier)
I don't know what genre is this, but I can hear the piano/keyboard, bass drums and what not. But whatever it is, this song is really really good.

Owl City - Fireflies
The first thing I noticed about him was that he (Owl City = Adam Young) sounded a hell lot like someone, and a few moments later, The Postal Service popped right into my head. This was corroborated with some googling and wiki-ing of Owl City, which yielded many references to him ripping The Postal Service off. I'm not one for mudslinging really, but well, he's selling the goods and making the money (off someone's coattails, most might add). Anyhow, check out this scathing review by Pitchfork. I'm surprised they even gave him a 1, with a "review" like that, I was expecting a -100.

Owl City - Fireflies (Marlow Remix)
Ok, I actually didn't wanto give Owl City a run here. Let me tell you the whole thing. When I first heard of Owl City, I immediately went meh. I mean, Owl City? It sounds retarded. And I put off listening to anything by him. Then first came this remix via RCRD LBL, and so I just had to listen it (it's the itch, curiosity kills the cat). The remix didn't change much of the original, just taking the synth pop and adding the touch of bass and groove to make it dance floor ready. And it brought me to the original and voila, I opened up a can of worms for myself. I just had to bring this out for discussion.

So what do you think of Owl City - young chap that got a lucky break from posting his stuff on myspace or virtual rip-off who deserves nothing?

Primary 1 & Riton - Radiates

Primary 1 & Riton - Radiates (Riton Rerub)
I'm getting LAZY!

Kaskade & deadmau5 - I Remember (Strobelite Edit)

Vibrasphere - Tierra Azul
Check out this semi-ambient down-tempo track. One word - nice. One guess where they're from.


Yeahh, SWEDEN! Pure gold.

The Saturday Mix #16



Faunts - Feel.Love.Thinking.Of (Mexican with Guns Remix)
I love both versions of the song, the original being slower and makes you want to sink into the song, with the remix being trippier and slow-groove.

The Raveonettes - Last Dance
oh sweet boy. if their new album is anything like Suicide and Last Dance, I'm so gonna love it. There's a bit of that electronic, groovy beats and mainstream-ish lyrics. Awesome.

Burns - Teknique

deadmau5 & Kaskade - I Remember (Caspa Remix)

Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart (Familjen Remix)
Yet another remix from the plethora of Fever Ray remixes out there, and I must say it's pretty well done. Gives the song a bit of buzz.

Gossip - Love Long Distance

Gossip - Love Long Distance (Fake Blood Remix)

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
