I Blame Coco – Self Machine (Chew Fu Robotix Fix)

Can’t not wait for Coco Sumner (aka I Blame Coco) to drop her full length album, “The Constant”, this September. Coco Sumner is the daughter of rock legend Sting, so there is an inherited grit to her vocals that is such a stark contrast to the electronic backing tracks.

She has been quite busy as of late:

1 Teaming up with Drum and Bass producer Sub Focus to lend her vox on the track, “Splash”.

2 Then her first single, “Caesar ft. Robyn”, got the remix treatment from non other than Miike Snow’s.

3 And now her latest single, “Self Machine” also gets an equally energetic remix from Chew Fu. And it’s the best one yet. To coincide with her full length release she will also be releasing a third single called

And here’s an unreleased track called, “Never Be”.

Mark Ronson – Bang Bang Bang (ft. MNDR & Q-Tip)

Took me a couple of listens but I finally figured out who MNDR (pseudonym of Amanda Warner) reminds me of on this track, it’s Missing Person’s lead singer, Dale Bozzio – check her out here: “Walking in LA“.

So Mark Ronson (as in Grammy winner – produce of the year 2008 for Amy Winehouse’s, “Back to Black”) is set to release a new full length titled, “Record Collection”, from which this is the first single. And damn, it’s good. Great jam for summer with its breezy vibe and 80’s esque keyboards. Mark gets help on this track from not only MNDR but also Q-TIP. This is an automatic for my iPod.

Felix Cartal – Popular Music Intro

Felix just released his first full length titled, “Popular Music” on Steve Aoki’s label Dim Mak. This is the title track from that album and has a killer chorus over a pounding house beat.

Felix Cartal – Popular Music Intro

Felix Cartal Bio:

Felix began his quest to achieve expertise in production in a campus studio in Vancouver while in high school, where he first observed the method of producing and mixing. By fifteen, not only was he learning from these engineers but he also began actively producing his own music. Cartal pulled from his vast, diverse library of influence ranging from his parents taste in the classics (The Beatles, Supertramp, Steely Dan, Elton John), his teenage love for Southern California punk rock (NOFX, Lagwagon), his soon after acquired taste for harder punk styles (The Blood Brothers, Red Light Sting, Lightening Bolt) and eventually dance artists such as James Holden and Alter Ego. However, it was the experimental blend of rock and electronica of Radiohead’s Kid A that marked a pivotal transformation of Taelor Deitcher to Felix Cartal, when he realized “I can pull my punk rock upbringings and push this harder edge in a club into music I wanted to make for the dancefloor.” The dark aesthetics of Kid A, the emphasis of melody in James Holden of Border Community combined with the exposure of tracks like Daft Punk’s “Rollin’ & Scratchin’” pounding heavily from full systems in clubs that truly inspired Felix to translate bass lines into developing a fresh approach to dance floor electronica.
