My Vegetables Are Bleeding

The Bloody Beetroots once were one of the artists to watch. Now it seems they've somewhat fallen out of favour. Their debut album 'Romborama' didn't seem to be the success many anticipated, critically and commercially, despite the fact they are starting to be accepted by the club-oriented populace.

Now that I think about it, a similar thing happened to MSTRKRFT. They were the talk of the town, before their 'Fist Of God' album bombed, and they were rejected by the majority of the Blogosphere. Interestingly, they also seem to have been accepted by the more house-oriented public.

Funny that, The Bloody Beetroots and MSTRKRFT are actually both signed to the same label, Dim Mak Rec-

Oh. I see. It makes sense now.

Steve Aoki.

The Bloody Beetroots - Dimmakmmunication
The Secret Handshake - Summer Of '98 (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)

That first track, 'Dimmakmmunication' was made to celebrate The Bloody Beetroots' signing to Dim Mak Records. It's actually fairly decent, if not unoriginal.

Designer Drugs

Designer Drugs have been ripping up the music scene in the US of A for a while now, they're one of the few good American Electro acts. They've remixed names such as Little Boots, N.A.S.A., Treasure Fingers, as well as American Alternative bands like Avian X, Velvet Code and Freezepop.

I have two more recent remixes here for you, and an absolute stunner of a remix of, erm, Mariah Carey...

The Secret Handshake - Make Up Your Mind (Designer Drugs Remix)
Thieves Like Us - Your Heart Feels (Designer Drugs Remix)
Mariah Carey - I'll Be Loving You Long Time (Designer Drugs Remix)

Don't you just hate it when people scroll through your artists and pick out the embarassing names?

"Eww, you like Lady Gaga?"
"I just wanted to see what she sounded like, and I haven't gotten around to deleting it off my iPod."
"Sureeeeeeeee."

Emotronic

Emotronic? Is that what you call those emos who work at JB? No, you fool.
Emotronic is a genre of Electro that merged distortion, squealing glitch and melancholic lyrics. I think Emotronic died in 2007. But no matter. Enjoy the song.

The Secret Handshake - Too Young (The Toxic Avenger Remix)
