Marina & The Diamonds – Rootless

16 02 2010

Interesting mix of electronic beats and acoustic instruments.  This track can be found on newly released full lenght titled, “The Family Jewels”.  Hopefully this track will get the remix treatment, it’s has all the elements for a smoldering dance floor jam.

Weezer – Love is the Answer (Odd Year Remix)

16 02 2010

Here’s a remix which I made into a electronic pop feel good track with a slight Caribbean influence.  In other words it’s my version of a what if — what if Hot Chip collided with Vampire Weekend — well, I think it would sound something like this:

As Children of the 80s, we’ve seen a thing or two. We went from believing that electronic drums were the devil to knowing that they were the Son of God. We swore we’d never play guitar again, and then broke our promise, as we knew we eventually would. We carved “straight-edge” into our forearms and sterilized the wound with gin. We are a generation of contradictions. Show me a man without contradictions and blah blah blah blah something something.  Twin sisters from California meet boy from New Jersey. The Ladies of Sport.

Mr Beasley – Right As Rain

6 02 2010

Kinda of a mix between Lykke Li meets Miike Snow – which is pretty damn good mix.  Mr. Beasley is Bobby Beasley and Sarah Jones from the UK.  The track, “Wrong” shows hints of Portishead.
