Round Up 2009 : Up & Coming

Expect a pearler of a 2010 for these guys, they deserve it.

Justin Faust
: Everybody should dig Justin Faust. He has an enviable consistency, one that many artists struggle to achieve, as well as an almost perfect mix of dreaminess and the ability to make you tap your feet.

Bestrack - With You (Justin Faust Remix)

Crystal Fighters : I Love London should just be a starting point for these guys. They have that hectic, youthful sound down, as well as Spanish accents. Oh, and Spanish guitar. How can 2010 not be their year?

Pony Pony Run Run - Hey You (Crystal Fighters Remix)

Two Door Cinema Club : Two Door Cinema Club have that peppy, upbeat sound that is just so easy to love. Reminiscent of Mystery Jets, these kids know how to make a song that make you smile.

Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn

Marina & The Diamonds : The way for electro-pop darlings have been paved by acts such as Little Boots and La Roux, so expect Marina & The Diamonds to come storming in next year, with her catchy vocals and quirky sound effects aplenty.

Marina & The Diamonds - Hollywood (Fenech-Soler Remix)

Mille : We might have someone here who can throw Danger off his throne, provided Danger doesn't pick up his game in 2010. That alone says a lot, as Danger is miles (I was tempted to use 'Milles') in front of other artists who have a similar style of music. But then again, even if Danger does kick in 2010 and keeps his throne, what's to say Mille won't share it with him?

Edwin Van Cleef - Overtaken (Mille Remix)

Proxy
: Album coming out early 2010? Noice. The album will almost certainly cement Proxy's place as our favourite Russian avant-garde dance floor destroyer, as well as spreading his name to those who are less well informed.

Tiga - What You Need (Proxy Remix)

Mustard Pimp : Often referred to as "like The Bloody Beetroots, but better", I don't think that really does them Justice (spot the pun). They're maximal, but not too maximal, and that's how we love it here. Their recent signing to Dim Mak has almost guaranteed that a Mustard Pimp Warp equivalent will be made. Not that that's a bad thing.

Steed Lord - Take My Hand (Mustard Pimp Remix)

Compression : V


Okay, just a quickie for now:

StereoHeroes and Mustard Pimp make quite similar music, that is, heavy handed, pounding drums, coupled with searing, roaring bass. No surprise then, that they should collaborate to make music. Result? Pretty damn good.

Mustard Pimp vs StereoHeroes - Shark Spray
StereoHeroes - Washout (Mustard Pimp Remix)
Steed Lord - Take My Hand (Mustard Pimp Remix)
Underhall - Digithall (StereoHeroes Remix)

Melbourne boys Miami Horror and Swick have both been upping their gamelately, so it would be apt of me to post some of their tracks. Miami Horror is currently working on his debut album, following the success of Bravado, while Swick is preparing himself for his first release, for his track, Grow Up. And yes, you're not seeing things, I did post it before. And no, I'm not going to put it back up.

Miami Horror - Sometimes
Swick - 30 Minutes Of Swick Mixtape

Fred Falke remixing Eric Prydz's Pjanoo? There better be an awful lot of piano. Unfortunately, the song isn't comprised entirely out of piano. But no worries. A Gonzales piano-rework of Housse De Racket's Synthétiseur will sate your piano needs.

Eric Prydz - Pjanoo (Fred Falke Remix)
Housse De Racket - Synthétiseur (Gonzales Rework)

And, some Phoenix remixes to top it all off. Neighbors add a dream-like quality to Rome, while Unpopular Scenes adds some dirty guitar riffs and distortion to Fences.

Phoenix - Rome (Neighbors With Devendra Banhart)
Phoenix - Fences (Unpopular Scenes Remix)

Rarche Out!
