Oh No Ono “Eleanor Speaks” (Caribou Remix) (MP3)

Progressive remix for the progressive psychedelic in us all. 

It has always been my personal belief that psychedelia could use a little help from the bass and dance arena. Canada’s electronic musician Daniel Sniath, also known as Caribou, felt like adding exactly that to one of the singles off of Oh No Ono’s most recent albums.

Danish quintet, Oh No Ono and their latest release, Eggs is full of psychedelic synths and balanced harmonies. But Caribou wanted to take the song to a whole other level.

Caribou starts out “Eleanor Speaks” as an even more psychedelic track, layered it with echoing keys and turns into a big, fat dance track reminding me of the good ole’ progressive house days (complete with high hats). There’s nothing like a tribal house beat to make psychedelia sound even more progressive.

Ellie Goulding: “Starry Eyed (Penguin Prison Remix ft. Theophilus London)” (MP3)

The latest dance-pop-treat from the UK had the latest progressive performer from New York add his heavy vocals over her most recent release, “Starry Eyed.”

The original track, which plays like radio-ready bomb about to burst into your ears everywhere, is cleverly remixed by New York musician Penguin Prison and steams with a funky bass-line and guitar loops that would make Phoenix jealous. And London’s lyrics easily make the track more believable, making sure to balance the pop aesthetic Goulding is cultivating with a song that is preparing all of the dance floors for the summer.

These three, with their spotlights turning brighter this year, they were all musically meant for each other.

Beach House: “Zebra (Ring Trick Remix)” (MP3)

San Francisco producer and musician, Ring Trick, added his futuristic and ambient waves to the charming duo’s track from their latest release, Teen Dream.

The track fleshes out the dreamy drips of Victoria Legrand’s voice, takes away the piano and adds a definitely danceable beat (with those necessary hi-hats).

Teen Dream + sleepy-like synths = no more nightmares.

Check out Beach House’s latest release out now and Ring Trick’s myspace for more mixes.

Hercules & Love Affair: Remix Lady Gaga (MP3)

The latest DFA-signed troupe decided to remix the hot pop star, and just wasn’t satisfied with one. The tracks remix Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance,” which are both off of her latest EP Bad Romance (The Remixes, Pt. 2), from Interscope Records.

The first track, the “Hercules & Love Affair Remix,” takes away from the typical club-hitting sound the Gaga team creates and adds a house splash Hercules & Love Affair is known for. This is the extended version of the dance track, taking you into the eighth hour of an all-nighter.

Love at 20: Premier (Video)

Texas trio moves from dancefloor to main stage with their first video. 

Love at 20 is a band:

Former members of Austin’s “Clap Clap” (Mike Groener, vox/piano/guitar; Louis Lemuz, bass; Mark Toohey, drums) have come together to assemble a newer and more polished (rock) version of their illustrious dance sound. With guitar-driven hooks and lyrics that are dying to be sung along with, Love at 20 desires to be where solid chart-toppers are today (but no auto-tune here, thank goodness). If Maroon 5’s Adam Levine was more into Brit rock bands like Stereophonics rather than Prince, he would have called his band Love at 20.

Love at 20 also has a short film:

In this first installment of their four video vignettes, Love at 20 used their greatest tool to showcase their music; creativity. For their latest single, “So Bad,” the band bases their music video off of the 1932 Fritz Lang classic film, “M.” …

John Morales – The M&M Mixes (Review)

John Morales

The M&M Mixes

Released by BBE


With The M&M Mixes pioneer Bronx DJ/producer John Morales (along with the late Sergio Munzibai) has dug through his collection of unreleased NYC underground disco anthems and proves to be more like a history lesson in the era of house music in its infancy. Morales, along with Munzibai, were the go-to team for remixes back in the day, having mixed hundreds of disco records stretching three-minute singles into twelve-minute epics all with the proper drops and breakdowns paving the way for remixers and super-producers in this age. In the past, Morales has claimed his fame by remixing some of the biggest hits during the late '70s early '80s, including "Axel F," "Rhythm of the Night," and "Dr. Beat," all providing an alternative listening experience giving fellow partygoers a reason to gyrate their asses at the discotechs.
