More Metronomy!

2009-04-15T04:19:00.000-07:00

The Metronomy Trio

Already had a bit of Metronomy earlier in the year, but I've back on KIBC. I can't really be bothered to write a lot, enjoi many songs...

Swedish Electro

Josefine Jinder, aka Little Jinder is one of the many* female Scandinavians producing a distinctive pop/ electronica sound. This remix of "Polyhedron" had added some speed and a bit of a dubby sound, it works really well.

*see:Spectroscope and Dub Sweden.

Ed Banger's Finest

2009-04-06T03:11:00.000-07:00

DJ Mehdi

DJ Mehdi is 1 of the many talented DJ's signed to Ed Banger Records, along with the likes of Justice, Busy P and Uffie. Slightly lesser known than those 3 but just as good. Remixes here by Joakim and one of the men behind the Daft Punk masks: Thomas Bangalter.

La musique electro francaise par Yelle

2009-04-02T04:49:00.000-07:00

YELLE

Yelle is best known for her pop music in France, but nothing will stand in the way of these DJs when they want to make an electro track. These are 2 remixes that are pretty old but if you haven't heard them then you're really missing out. Tepr, well known on the electronica scene, has done his bit here but there is some really unknown talent here; Mr Ed & Cosmo, I think this is Mister Ed, couldn't find Cosmo.

Teki Latex and Surkin

2009-04-01T07:52:00.000-07:00

Teki at work

Provided here today is one the best electronica songs the french have to offer. And you may have already noticed that french electro is the most consistent high quality electro on the planet.The work by Teki Latex, a Parisian solidly producing brilliant music, caught the ear of fellow frenchman Surkin who did his magic, not that it needed doing, and this is what came of it.

CFCF

The title says it all really, I wanted to put something up that has the proportions between chill-out, electro and vocals just right. I think this song handles it better than anything else I've heard. STRONGLY recommended.

Femme is from the french part of Canada which is like America's hat (and that is my complete knowledge of geography). CFCF, who you may already know, is from the same neck of the woods as Femme (Quebec) and is out there constantly producing steady tunes at a pace to keep up with your hungry ears. Check them out.

A Personal Favourite

2009-03-23T12:04:00.000-07:00

When I saw this video I just couldn't stop watching it, it must've been about 2 years ago when I first saw it and I spent ages trying to find out the song. I finally found out what it was called and I still love it today. You MUST watch this.

Sleepyhead Remix

2009-03-18T10:08:00.000-07:00

Very Passionate
Not much to say really. Other than turn the volume up full literally just before 2:39 for an ear orgasm.Fucking mental.

Alex Gopher Remix

2009-03-14T05:30:00.000-07:00

Gopher, born "Alex Latrobe"

Another one from the land of electro, Alex Gopher is a French DJ/record producer/musician who made his first appearance in a pop band Orange. The band consisted of the likes of Etienne de Crécy and both members of the band Air, who are pretty big names by today's standards. Ecoutez!

Tokyo Police Club Indie Remix

2009-03-14T05:00:00.000-07:00

Japan's police force have been slacking recently

In 2005 4 Canadian boys decided to form Tokyo Police Club, and went on to become a pretty decent indie band with a really nice unique and edgy sound. This remix isn't exactly a floor-filler at some underground rave warehouse, but it's definitely sick, otherwise I wouldn't bother writing about it.

So English Is Good (DJ Pedro Palooze Carioca Clube) - Tokyo Police Club (zShare)

Justice and Boys Noize

2009-03-11T12:06:00.000-07:00

See: Damien Hirst for more like this

German DJ (and record label) Boys Noize is best-known for his distinctive rough electro sounds that work outrageously well in everything he does, not dissimilar to some of Daft Punk's stuff. You might be wondering how Boys Noize managed to make Justice's trademark sound any rougher, well they did, and it's sick.

Phantom (Boys Noize Remix) - Justice (zShare)

BOBMO!

2009-03-10T12:30:00.000-07:00

Jape and Bobmo are two of my favourite artists at the moment. Bobmo is from the electro country that is France, now living as a Parisian I believe, whereas Jape is from a country lesser-known for its electro hits, Ireland. This remix of Jape's "Floating" (and I do highly recommend the original) is an example of quality artists at work.

Metronomy French and Swedish

2009-03-10T10:34:00.000-07:00

Metronomic: Regular, periodic and repetitive, like a metronome

Most things in Devon are pretty poor by my reckoning, the weather is bad most of the time, Chris Martin's from Devons as are all three members of Muse. But Metronomy are an exception, started out in 1999, and although I hadn't heard them back then, I am yet to hear a bad track by them and I'm not just saying that. Try their album 'Nights Out'. You might already know Radioclit from a few Bonde Do Rolê remixes.

Learn By Example

2009-03-08T07:44:00.000-07:00

Example, straight out of Fulham, funny man, great music. Started out years ago, mainly spittin bars, now he's back in the game with electro and dance beats. Definitely look into this guy's old stuff, it's just as sick now as it was then. Provided for you here today is a remix by Don Diablo and his mixtapes entitled 'The Credit Munch', sick stuff. Highly recommended.

The Klaxons and The Crystal Castles

2009-03-08T07:24:00.000-07:00

Cheer up lads.

If you don't know Klaxons, then you probably should, mind you they're not really around nowadays. If you do know them you probably know someone who called them "The Klaxons" and you probably know (or are) the person who corrects them everytime. Same goes for Crystal Castles. Forget all of that, listen to one of the best electro remixes ever, (in my opinion).

MARS

2008-10-19T13:06:00.000-07:00

FAKE! BLOOD!

London's own Fake Blood, hitting the electro scene hard with their track 'Mars', which in my opinion, is possibly the best electro track of the year. Its been remixed time and again by DJs everywhere, many have taken it to the bub side of electro, but the 1 im sharing with you is my personal favourite, Player Player's 95 Jump remix has added the catchiest vocals Ive ever heard to it.

Things Are Soon To Change

2008-10-17T09:29:00.001-07:00

My mum doesn't dance like this?

You probably haven't heard of Maths Class, a 5 piece alternative band from the sunny coast of Brighton (England). But they've got a nice thrashy style to them, you should give them a listen. More to the point of this blog, DJ Mumdance had remixed their track 'Branches', taken away the thrashy style and slowed it down a bit but has kept the catchy vocals.

Katy Perry? Didn't She Kiss A Girl Or Something?

2008-10-15T08:17:00.000-07:00

Lesbian

Katy Perry has been paraded on radios and television stations all over the world in the past few months. She tells us of how she kissed a girl (just to try it) and that she actually quite liked it. There was also a significant rise in the number of radios broken by force once this song was released. But never fear! Kue has come to the rescue and delivered this sick electro/club remix.

Bring Back The Disco-Groovy Action

2008-10-13T09:19:00.000-07:00

Rad

Zvook Mescalin, three Danish lads DJing since early 2006. And you probably already know that there's a lot of talent coming out of those odd Scandinavian countries. Well, these guys are certainly part of it, they've remixed a track by Dampfbahn (which I think means 'Steam Train'). But you've probably not heard of either, but they are seriously swell. So here's a link to the "All Is Swell Remix".

Cold War Kids, Bassy Mix

2008-10-13T07:48:00.000-07:00

Pearly like the whites of your eyes

Cold War Kids have been around for a while, starting out way back when in 2004, they slowly but surely got bigger. Then came their lucky break when their track 'Hang Me Up To Dry' got big in early 2007. Now Hostage, has come along to revamp the track with his bassy ways, you may have already heard his Pharoahe Monch Remix of 'Simon Says'.

Nature Valley Bars - They're Damn Tasty!

Andy Britton and David Goldsmith's "Live Spark" has been kicking around in adverts for a few years now. Featured in the nature valley advert where a woman casually enjoys the bar at the top of a mountain, and also in the advert for "Tycoon", where entrepeneur Peter Jones tells start up company's they're rubbish.

Erol Alkan, the boy who used to sneak out at night in his eerly teens to play gigs for a tenner, is still at it. And just as good as he's always been. Try this Fan Death remix, you wont be disappointed.
