Maybe if we all scream loud enough, Sven of The Videoband will finally leak/release/materialize/shit out the final mix of La Parisienne. (please check it on myspace if you haven’t)
In the meantime, he’s been teasing me with a number of other remixes which I’ve liked enough to write about.
The teasing, hasn’t stopped, but thankfully everything they send my way is gold!
Here are 2 new remixes.
First up is Sam Sparro’s synthy funk track, Black Gold. If you’ve never heard of the guy, peep his myspace and check ’21st Century Life’. I don’t know much about him, but from his myspace, he kind of looks like a douche. It says he’s on a ‘major label’. Maybe his PR team should hire a new ‘myspace-friend-adder-intern’ and fire this guy who’s making his image really douchey.
Anyway, The Videoband has a knack. That is, they choose tracks with potentially life threatening vocals, slice, repeat, distort, and process them into a beast that has new life and probably way more appeal to you and me. Black Gold is one of these instances. I don’t recommend the original track in the LEAST, but if you do accidentally listen to it with your pitchfork-loving friends, you’ll realize that The Videoband knows what’s up in the ‘vocal-lyrical-fucking-shit-up’ department.
Sam Sparro – Black Gold (the videoband vocal fix remix)

Secondly, David Guetta needs no introduction. The Videoband shows us their take on Guetta’s ‘Delirious’. While this tracks vocals aren’t painful to listen to, The Videoband works their vocal remixing magic on this track and turns the vocals into instruments rather than stupid self-loathing words.
Voices as instruments? Less words, more sounds. Less people sounding stupid, more music sounding better?

PS: keep screaming for The Videoband to drop the Parisienne track. When they do, you’ll see it here.

double trouble tonight.
remember Neon Coyote? Yeah, they’re kind of a big deal. Ever since their explosion onto the scene, they’ve had a steady uprising in popularity. If you looked at a chart of their success, it would look like the exact opposite of what a 12 month-current chart of the United States economy looks like.
So anyways, they’ve been like touring the world and shit. And playing huge 1000 people raves and shit. And pouring Cristal all over hipster bitches chests. They also have been enjoying a nice and relaxing time on their 42 million dollar yacht, reaping the benefits of being TTYC members.
Obviously tickets to their shows sell out within minutes and if you’re reading this, you’re either being unsociable at their party on your blackberry or you’re at home, being unsociable on your computer.
If you’re the latter, I have an underground bootleg recording of one of their shows. I can’t divulge much of the detail that went into procuring this mastermix, but it involved hacking, time travel, and 2 fatalities.

LA GREVE GENERALE!!!!!!!!!!
in the midst of their busy schedules, John from LAGREVE was able to throw this live set at me… and their style is getting excellently STEEZY. It cannot be contained. The intro sets you up for something fierce, and the rest of the set definitely lives up to it.

It was about this time last year when I was fanboy-izing over the eminent Justice LP release.
Spring brings
Ed Banger flings.
It’s about that time again, and for their 5th year in existence, they’ve decided to put together Ed Rec Vol. III.
Yeah, it’s pretty good. More of the same guys, making some exquisitely new sounding shit and it’s just loveable.
Disco metal champion, Mr. Flash, goes “Over the Top” and it’s, ummmmmm pretty unbelievable/awesome/proper/tally ho.
Get the teaser mixed by Feadz over at missingtoof
When this track first breaks the main rhythm transition into the guitars I get retro metal shivers!!! (chivers?)

more ‘australia on australia’ love making

So I’m over here in the United States, totally not having an awesome time, because the Australians are hogging all the good artists and hoarding them!!
It’s like those old fucking vietnamese ladies at the super market hoarding all the 50 pound bags of rice because of the ‘rice shortage‘
But whatever, thank GOD Al Gore invented the internet, because without it, I wouldn’t be able to feast my ears on this sinfully delicious audio porno as soon as I would like to.
Harking back to my (unnoticed) return to blogville where I outlined why I love australia; I mentioned only a fraction of what completes the awesomeness that is Australia. The other parts to that pie are still waiting to be blogged, but here’s another tiny slice.
For some reason, I’ve never mentioned Miami Horror. Probably cause everyone else blew their wads over them for the last 5 months….non stop. Quite unnecessary to add to the sludge fest… so I’ll just go ahead and assume that you know the know.
And here they are, once again, adding to the ‘big gay circle jerk‘, remixing Midnight Juggernauts – Road To Recovery.
Miami Horror knows what’s good. Don’t fuck with a masterpiece. So they didn’t. They threw some clean synths, some tasty bridge edits, some cuts here, some cuts there, added a sample or two, and DESTROYED THE FUCK out of it.

thank you, may I have another?
…why YES YOU CERTAINLY MAY
This time, Miami Horror’s victim is Datarock who strangely isn’t from australia??? WTF>>> Nope. Norway. Fuckin norway..

thanks, Miami Horror, for breaking the incestuous australian circle jerk and branching out to Norway. The future of the world is probably safe now.
PS: I’m pitching a tent in my pants over the new Presets LP, Apocalypso. Buy it as soon as humanly possible. On amazon if you want.
PPS: Does anyone know Lang Lang personally? Does anyone know what makes him so bad ass? Does anyone know why he can levitate? Does anyone know why Lang Lang has a name, then another name?

Choreo from germany is at it again, this time with a remix of Kelis – Milkshake. You probably already know that I’ve been freaking out over Choreo ever since, forever.
Although it doesn’t lose sight of the original Milkshake track (which can be dangerous), this track is straight Choreo from beginning to end. His twist puts a strange insanity to the track that can’t be overcome.
Things you need to watch out for: cutting synth guitar, hand claps, choreo-hats-snare, toy piano arpeggios. These things will kick you in the face if you’re not dancing.
Kelis – Milkshake (choreo re-metal)

Will Choreo-mania sweep the nation? With people make a special sign with their hands that stands for ‘Choreo’? Will he get to design his own clothing line with german designer Karl Lagerfeld? Will he play Madison Square Garden? When will people catch on to the fact that ‘dj’s playing live’ is really dj’s playing back cds?
