Some Tuuuunes

Chromeo - Hot Mess (Oliver Remix) - Heard this the other week and it's got to be one of the most complete sounding remixes I've heard in a while.  Much like the Aeroplane remix of Chromeo's 'Don't Turn The Lights On' it is a total reworking of the original but the overall style will appeal to fans of Chromeo, what with the grand stabbing synth/guitar chords and general 80's-ness. The video for the original is also worth a look, if only to see P-Thug with his top off.



Bjorn Torske - Sexy Disco - Very repetitive but I've been listening to it over and over for the last half hour so thought I should share it.

Heeeeey Tell

Saw this over on Gizmodo and it looks great. Imagine using you're iPhone/Android like a walkie talkie. Sounds good to me, though time will tell if people take to the App/whether it becomes annoying as hell.

A cheeky lil' track that (dare I say it?) is an absolute banger!

Blaaack Dynamite

Black Dynamite has finally come out on DVD in the UK! I suggest all you jive turkeys get out there and buy it immediately.

I recently found out that AdultSwim has snatched up Black Dynamite and are making a cartoooon out of it. Click on Read More to check out some newly released stills from the show, I'm really digging the animation style.

SoundCloud App

Just updated my computer and Apple decided to plonk it's new App Store down on me dock so I thought I'd give it a spin. Stumbled across the new SoundCloud App.

Right now I'm in the process of getting together a series of finished tracks to put on the net and the new app more than facilitates me doing this. I can upload tracks with the program, add artwork etc. just like in iTunes, but one of the coolest features is the recording function. If I want to post up a work in progress chunk of a track I can just play the tune and use the SoundCloud app to record the part I want. It means that I don't have to worry about mastering or anything, just shove it on the web a-sap. Obviously when the track is finished I'm gonna while away hours making sure it's absolutely bloody perfect.

Another great feature is that you can grab all those tracks and mixes from other artists that you've been listening to and group them all in one place so you can listen to them offline like Spotify/iTunes. Which means I can listen to this beauty over and over again!

Old and New Favourites

A NEW HOME! Stumbled upon this flavors.me shindiggedy and thought I'd chuck everything in one place and start keeping it up to date again! I've got about 10 semi-finished reviews from back when the blog was churning along so I'll finish those at some point and get them up. But in the meantime the format is going to be loads of lil' tidbits and the occasional essay. 

So here's a new a favourite: 

Gorillaz' Empire Ants get's remixed by Miami Horror - sheesh, the best song from Plastic Beach being remixed by one of my favourite new bands! 

The song was never really going to be made any better, but this is an awesomely chilled summery take on it. Crying shame that it's January really.

Chromeo - Don't Turn The Lights On (Aeroplane Remix)

As Chromeo remixes go this is a pretty valiant attempt by Aeroplane and it's very much in keeping with Chromeo's overall style. 3:37 onwards really does it for me with an awesome new piano solo coupled with the original guitar solo over Aeroplanes funkalicous ascending bass line.
