Yes, it is pretty close to blasphemy to touch a Gang of Four track, especially one as beloved as Outside The Trains Don’t Run On Time, but Death Row Archie does an honorable remixing of this classic track.

It’s not too often that Merritt’s work gets the remix treatment. A shame, actually, as his tunes are often so solidly constructed that they work acoustic as well as synthed out. Proving the point, here are two great tastes that go great together; Mark Robinson’s remix of Merritt’s Smoke and Mirrors from the [...]

Via the blog Pasta Primavera comes this reworking of Lekman’s “I’m Leaving You Because I Don’t Love You” by Chicago’s Spoolwork. The original can be found on Lekman’s 2007 release Night Falls Over Kortedala (which just so happened to be my favorite record of ‘07).

Air’s Moon Safari, which was the first full album I ever ripped and mp3 encoded, is getting the 10 year anniversary double disc reissue treatment with Rarities, Remixes and Sessions. (spotted on coudal.com)
I wish they had a clip of Jeremy Piven screaming “10 YEARS!” It would have been perfect for this post. Sigh.

I am apparently going through a horrible phase because in addition to the Public remix of Katy Perry, the “So Gold” remix of Mariah Carey’s “One and Only”, Ladytron’s newest, and a variety of Ting Tings and Cut Copy remixes, I keep spinning the Lovelock track “Love Reaction.” I blame the summer heat.
Of course [...]

With the pitch-shifting, futuristic melodies and the oddball techno stomp of its debut, Mirrored, Battles has pushed itself to the forefront of the experimental elite. The first single, “Atlas” showcased the band’s bag of complex wizardry with an unforeseen vocal melody over top a danceable backbeat, squawking, processed guitar jabs and rigid keyboard noodlings.

Emanate: Various Artists Emanated Emanate By: Kerry M.
The band listing of this Emanate Records compilation entitled “Emanated” reads like the periodic table of elements or the back of an old medicine bottle, featuring bands with names like Solenoid and Lillianthal and Sybarite. The music contained within, while primarily electronic, is not for [...]

Love, Execution Style Nameless Gleet And Gumma By: Kerry M.
Tennessee’s Love, Execution Style is back with a new album chock full of their brand of genre hopping sounds. Nameless is apparently the by-product of an experiment in which the band attempted to write and record a song a day for a month. [...]
