Here come some more summer pool party jams.  This isn’t to say that these tunes are limited to day time pool thrashes.  They’ll kill it in any setting, but well, you know. POOL PARTY MANIA 2009!!

TEPR.  Well what can I say?  Magic man.  He’s part of Yelle’s (bless your hearts) outfit and produces some of the most fun sounds around. His rework of “A Cause des Garçons” ring any bells? Remind yourself.

He’s remixed kap10kurt’s ‘Dangerseekers’ and now here’s another TEPR remix of kap10kurt, ‘Mission Complete’. With this remix, TEPR brightened up the drums and synths considerably. It starts with a vocal sample loop for a few bars and builds up into the main rhythm with an ever classic 90’s multiplied vocal “aaAAAWWWW”. Just when you think it’s done, you’re judo chopped with a chime and a whistle straight into the chorus. That’s how you start a fucking chorus my friends. With a chime and a whistle. supreme fun time.

Does anyone like the Friendly Fires? Um…yes. me. Although that and the upcoming posting on my website reference remixes, they as an original entity are amazing. Their video of ‘Paris’, was on TUMBLMANIA, so, obv…

Here’s Grum’s pool-party-ready rendition of ‘Skeleton Boy’, and boy does it pick up around 2:27. Grum’s keyboards = love, and can you say arpeggiators and vocoders?? YES?????

Friendly Fires – Skeleton Boy (Grum Remix)
Grum just released a new single, ‘Sound Reaction’ on beatport.  A lot of the elitist blog world says the sound is passé, but fuck it!  That track is money in the bank.

BOW-NESS:
Yelle trivia.  Did you know that Yelle is actually an acronym? Here’s a revisit to Yelle – ACDG (TEPR Remix)……… love you all.
