Part of this year’s epic back-to-back-weekends Coachella line-up, Housse de Racket is also absolutely one of THE bands to look out for on the bill. Sounding much like their French brethren Phoenix and other electric-Yacht geniuses like Zoot Woman and Air, it may not be a surprise to most that Pierre Leroux and Victor Le Masne came up as former session players for both the former and very latter of the aforementioned acts.

Phoenix :: “Fences” (Union Remix) (MP3)

It wasn’t that long ago that every day brought a new remix of Phoenix from their break-through 2009 album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. The band even put out an offical CD of remixes from the album.

But while we wait for the French stars to come with some new music, here comes a dreamy new remix by Paris duo Union, who are preparing to release their debut album on Fat Beats, featuring rappers Elzhi, MF DOOM, Talib Kweli, and Guilty Simpson. There’s nothing really hip-hop on this remix (except the tempo), but it’s an original reimaginging of a group we thought had been twisted and turned every-which-way already.

Cut Copy Announce Tour (and Cochella Return)

On their last album release—2007’s In Ghost Colour—Australian electro-popsters Cut Copy musta toured the states 3-4 times, each go around playing for bigger audiences as word of mouth slowly grew them from another hipster act playing small rock clubs to a serious ticket selling machine at significantly larger venues. We call it “pulling a Phoenix,” even though the group has yet to max out Madison Square Garden. Maybe with the new album, Zonoscope, dropping on February 8, these guys could just be one Cadillac commercial away from serious stardom. …MORE
