The latest remix from The Golden Filer of Empire of The Sun’s “We Are The People” is proof yet again of the duo’s remarkable mixing skills, as they’ve managed to turn the original 180 degrees, providing us with a stunning electro anthem. Contemporary percussion mixed in with old school ’80s drum beats and some awesome synths scrapped off Golden Filter’s latest single “Solid Gold,” make it quite a listen. Check it out bellow.

Last night Animal Collective played a set in D.C.’s 9:30 club, where they simply rocked the sold out crowd. On top of that, fans had the chance to hear in first audition a new AC song, going by the working title of “Bleed.” One can plainly see it’s still a very raw version, but even so the track impresses through its sophisticated sound layers and trippy vocals by Panda and Geologist. Check it out bellow…

1901 is maybe the most catchiest songs of the year. It’s fun, upbeat and has a really steady flow of rhythm – can’t go wrong, right? Anyway, we’ve got two awesome remixes for you today of Phoenix’s single. First, the one by The Tremulance in which 1901’s upbeat chorus is taken to the max with a tempo increase on the beat and a few extra, lovely synths added for effect. Then there’s the one in…
Justice’s latest mix of Lenny Kravitz’s late 80’s debut single, “Let Love Rule”, is packed with a lot of groove, sex and funky beats, as well as the duo’s signature sound, making it quite a interesting rehash. It provides some definitely good practice for two as well, seeing how they’re due to hit the studio to start the production of their next LP. [via Kanye West’s blog] [display_podcast]

80’s old school synth pop, mixed in with contemporary beats and CSS-like anthem chants in the chorus – that’s how Clubfeet’s latest single Teenage Suicide, in a nutshell, sounds like. Clubfeet is an Aussie electro outfit that once again enforces the already solid dance music scene in the land down under. Yes, quality dance music is hard to come by these days.

After last year’s fun, but somewhat mediocre “Last Night” LP, Moby wants to make a bit of shift in direction with his upcoming new record “Wait For Me” – an album centered a lot more on emotions and creativity, as the American DJ himself confessed to in a recent interview with David Lynch. Apparently Lynch even influenced to quite a degree Moby’s new album, thanks to his well known evangelization of creativity as the epiphany…
Some voices just stop you in your tracks, and demand you take notice. Think Corin Tucker’s barely-controlled wail, Wilson Pickett’s heartfelt howl, or Mark Lanegan’s weathered moans. Well, we’re gonna need a bigger boat (new category): a new, slightly hyperbolic description to capture the intensity of Valerie Pomella, singer for The Technicolor Victrola, whose EP I’ve been lucky enough to discover. Hers is a voice that stops you in your tracks, grabs you by the…
Without a doubt, Leonard Cohen is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. A true legend. And although for the past decade or so, he’s been leaving in somewhat seclusion, his fans haven’t and won’t ever forget his soothing baritone voice. Last year, Cohen performed on stage once again, after a more than 15 years long absence from any live gig. He came back in full swing though, with an extraordinary set…
