18 Hours Sleep

I had 18 hours of sleep last night, so I'm groggy and lethargic. So, erm, I'm going to pull another 'Ceebs' post on you guys. Sorry.

Erm, all of these have indie cred?

Doves - Brazil (Aeroplane Remix)
The Sound Of Arrows - A Very Sad Song
Jupiter One - Flaming Arrow
Paul Karkbrenner - Aaron (Ted & Francis Vocal Version)

My excuse is that I thought it would be a good idea to pull an all-nighter, knowing how tired I already was. Wrong.

Compression : VI

Hmm, another DMCA complaint. Asked around on Erol Alkan forum (of which lately I've become a junkie), and I've been advised it might be better to change my blogging ways, that is, get every track straight from the artists themselves. Obviously, it's going to take a while to build up a relationship with all these artists, but, I'll try to do it eventually. Anyway, you're probably thinking "Quitcherbitchin', where's the music?", so here it is.

So, you kids are probably overeager to here some new tracks, so I'll deliver, with some, err, Robbie Williams. Coolest kid out. But err, seriously, his new track Bodies might not be exceptional or cutting edge, but the remixers... well, are Fred Falke and Aeroplane adequate? Thought so.

Robbie Williams - Bodies (Fred Falke Club Mix)
Robbie Williams - Bodies (Aeroplane Remix)

Mars? No. Don't touch that, it's a classic. That won't stop Jack Beats from trying, and, well, he kinda pulls it off. Escalating, womping fun. Good on him.

Fake Blood - Mars (Jack Beats Remix)
Patrick Wolf - Hard Times (Jack Beats Remix)

Danger, where art thou? Apparently Danger is prowling around an Amazonian jungle, warping time to uncover more about the Code of The Pyramid. Or he's working on an album. Still haven't decided which reason I like more. Many have tried to fill in Danger's shoes, replicating his cinematic/computer game sound. But alas, none have reached his prowess. Until now. Meet Mille, a Swedish producer who may just be the new Danger (probably not, but he's pretty damn good). Check out Ghost Dancer and the Mowgli's Road remix. Wow.

Mille - Ghost Dancer
Mille - Crysteena
Marina & The Diamonds - Mowgli's Road (Mille Remix)

There has been a plethora of Night By Night remixes going around, so I'm just going to post a few. Smooth, '80s vocals, mixed with '80s synths. Sounds like it's straight from the '80s. '80s.

Chromeo - Night By Night (Redial Remix)
Chromeo - Night By Night (Siriusmo Remix)
Chromeo - Night By Night (Digikid84 Remix)

Michael Jackson is still a hot topic, mainly because of the new film about his swan song tour, This Is it. Anyway, I have a little gem here for you kids. It's an edit of Hot Street, a track that was meant to feature on the Thriller album. Apparently, Michael Jackson was quite fond of this track, but his producers/marketers thought the song just didn't quite make the cut. I think I'd have to side with MJ here, this track is brilliantly catchy.

Michael Jackson - Hot Street (U-Tern Edit)

And, here's some Screamo-Electro. What?

All Leather & The Bloody Beetroots - Mystery Meat
Bring Me The Horizon - Death Breath (The Toxic Avenger Remix)

Or some not-so-Bloody Beetroots:

Groove Armada - I Won't Kneel (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)

Rarche Out!

Aeroplane

Remember just how brilliant Aeroplane's remix of Paris was? Well the vocals in that song were that of Au Revoir Simone. Now a remix of Au Revoir Simone themselves by Aeroplane has emerged.

Blissful.

Au Revoir Simone - Another Likely Story (Aeroplane Remix)

Some more Aeroplane for you kids to play with.

Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire (Aeroplane Remix)
Aeroplane - Whispers (Hercules And Love Affair Remix)

I think I might go listen to this remix now.

Paris

I'd like to be honest, but if I had the choice between being honest and not being honest, I'd pick not being honest. - Scott

Friendly Fires are a three-piece Indie band from England. I would akin them to Foals meets Cut Copy. Aeroplane are a duo that make chilled, powerful remixes. They're releasing an album soon, with the help of Soulwax and Au Revoir Simone.

I love this remix by Aeroplane. It is actually brilliant. Pity it goes for 7 minutes, but lucky for you kids, I've cut it down to a more palateable size.
