Compression : II


Wow, I haven't posted for over a week. A lot has happened in that time, and, being a music blogger, as opposed to an about life blogger, I won't share details with you. I'll bring on the tracks.

First off, I received some brilliant remixes in my inbox from a bloke called Johnathan Live. His sound is a glittering, sparkling synth-fest, comparable to Justin Faust and Classixx. Dirty Work is my pick. Oh, new Chromeo to boot.

Cato Canari - Dirty Work (Johnathan Live Remix)
Everything But The Girl - Driving (Johnathan Live Remix)
Similou - Clouds (Johnathan Live Remix)
Chromeo - Momma's Boy (Johnathan Live Remix)
Chromeo - Night By Night

New remixes by Cut Copy are a rarity nowadays, so it's always pleasant to be greeted with one. Viking remix of Hearts On Fire adds a bit of pow to the original.

Munk - Back Down (Cut Copy Jackmaster Remix)

The Phenomenal Hand Clap Band - You'll Disappear (Munk Remix) - FIXED
Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire (Viking Remix)

Don Diablo has been sending me tracks, but oddly enough, I've been downloading them off Scottish Friction instead, as I see them on his blog first. Quaint.

Don Diablo vs Phoenix vs Jay-Z - 99 Fences
Don Diablo & Example - Hooligans (A1 Bassline Remix)
Cassius - Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes (Don Diablo Remix)

Marchand, which is apparently French for Merchant (thanks for the translation, WDPK), creates music comparable to that of Lifelike. Summer chill-out tracks? Look no further.

Marchand - Starlove
Marchand - Supernova

Grum belts out a stellar remix, but it is ultimately trumped by Hemingway's seductively smooth Starlight Yacht remix. Don't know much about Keenhouse, but I'll be keen to after this effort. I quite enjoy lame puns, don't you?

Keenhouse - Ari-Es (Hemingway Starlight Yacht Remix)
Keenhouse - Ari-Es (Grum Remix)

Well kids, that's it for me. Better get back to Specialist Maths. Have to look at those Argand Diagrams and Imaginary Numbers.

Rarche Out!

    cheers for the love, and i think we posted the same track within an hour of each other! the grum remix is amaxing - saw him last Sunday and had one of the most euphoric experiences of my life when 'Heartbeats' kicked in

    great shout on the Hemingway Starlight Yacht remix - hadn't heard that one - if i had i would've posted that one as well.
