October has been dispatched. Frolic for November!
Top 3 Most Downloaded:
1. Mr Oizo - Pourriture 7 (The Bloody Beetroots Refix)
2. Erik Hassle - Don't Bring Flowers After I'm Dead (Crystal Fighters Remix)
3. Erik Hassle - Hurtful (Penguin Prison Remix)
Commentary:
1. Uhh, to be honest, this isn't actually that wonderful. Sure, it's got Mr Oizo and The Bloody Beetroots, but this refix is painfully simple. Truly.
2. Crystal Fighters add buzzing bass, simple 8-bit sounds, and jungle beats. Noice.
3. Do you kids have a thing for Erik Hassle's smooth, deft voice or something? Or do you just like Penguin Prison's chilled out Lifelike-like sound? Probably both.
Top 3 Most Underappreciated:
1. Mille - Ghost Dancer
2. Designer Drugs - Drop Down
3. Similou - Clouds (Johnathan Live Remix)
Commentary:
1. In all honesty, this actually does sound like Danger, if he was to take a new direction in his sound. Watch for 2:08, that's when those Carribean Marimbas kick in. Also has an eagle cry. Hot damn.
2. Everything you love about Designer Drugs. But crazier, darker, and edgier. An ominous, apocalyptic dance-floor destroyer. Lots of fun.
3. Reminiscent of clouds in all the right ways, this remix has beautifully crafted synths melded with pacific vocals that, when combined, soothe you into a state of higher consciousness.
Bonus For Rarchesters:
Penguin Prison - A Funny Thing
Mille - Stargazers
Drop The Lime - Devil's Eyes (Classixx' B-Live Remix)
