Always nice to hear something new from the “Boys”. And as a added bonus, they remixed a track from an artist which had a “spectacular” (hint-hint-nudge-nudge) album release this year, MGMT!
MGMT – Kids (Pet Shop Boys Remix)
Remix Contest – BPA (aka Fatboy Slim) – Toe Jam
For all you remixers, here’s a contest just for you.
THE CONTEST:
Remix the song “Toe Jam” from The BPA’s upcoming album I Think We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat and enter your remix for a chance to win a pair of Technics RP-DH1200 Headphones, Fatboy Slim’s catalog on vinyl and the chance to have your remix released as a digital EP along with an official remix of “Toe Jam.” You can remix the song in any way you like, either by adding your own beats and instrumentation, or just remixing the original parts.
Mirah – La Familia (Guy Sigsworth Remix)
From one of my all time favorite producers comes a great electronic remix. For those who are unfamiliar with the name of Guy Sigsworth, I’m sure you’ve heard his work if your an avid listener to electronic music. He’s probably best know as half of Frou Frou (other half of course being Imogen Heap), but here are just a few of the songs he’s produced and/or co-written:
Seal – Carzy (1991)
Bjork – Isobel (1995)
Bjork – All is Full of Love (1997)
Madonna – What It Feels Like For A Girl (2000)
Lamb – Gabriel (2001)
Frou Frou – [entire album:Details] (2002)
Kate Havnevik – Unlike Me (2006)
Temposhark – It’s Better To Have Loved (2007)
Alanis Morissette – [entire album: Flavors of Entanglement] (2008)
Mirah – La Familia (Guy Sigsworth Remix)
taken from Guy’s myspace page:
“”La Familia” is a song by Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn, who lives in Oregon. I’ve been a fan of Mirah’s since hearing one of her songs late night on XFM about five years ago – and here I am remixing it specially for her forthcoming remix album”
Her remix album, Joyride: Remixes, was released back in 2006.
