DOWNLOAD: “You Wanted a Hit (Soulwax Remix)” by LCD Soundsystem (right click, save as)

Oh hai dere. Sorry for the long hiatus - there was frolicking to be done in Europe for the last 2.5 weeks so now we catching up for a bit. Any time a new Soulwax remix comes out I pee myself a little bit so I’m pretty hyped for this one. Don’t think its their best LCD Soundsystem remix but its still pretty great. It has the distorted bass that is typical of most Soulwax remixes - also love how it just builds and drones on starting at around 4:11.

DOWNLOAD: Lazerproof by Major Lazer and La Roux (zshare)

Holy hype machine. Mad Decent and crew had to scrap their email program because their servers couldn’t handle all the downloads. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about listening to this because I’ve never been a huge fan of reggae and dubstep (I love Major Lazer’s album though so whatevs) but now that I’ve downloaded and am listening to it, one can’t really doubt Diplo’s and Switch’s ability to produce great songs. The mixtape is as diverse as Major Lazer’s taste: dancehall, chill-out reggae, and more. Definitely worth a listen. On a random note, totally thought that Elly Jackson on that cover was supposed to be Samus from Super Metroid - false. Sorry I’m stuck in 1994.

DOWNLOAD: “Mixtapes (Buffetlibre Remix)” by Plushgun (right click, save as)

New remix by Buffetlibre - fun, 80s electro remix. I’m thinking pink feathered boas, and discoballs while hopping around. Word. They’ll also be touring around Spain this summer and will be djing Sonar festival along with Chemical Brothers, and LCD Soundsystem

WATCH: “Buffalo Stance” by Buraka Som Sistema

Fun! Buraka Som Sistema does their own take on Neneh Cherry’s “Buffalo Stance”. The version is actually cut from a full 20 minute mix which can be downloaded for free at Doc Marten’s site. 

DOWNLOAD: “Overdrive (Morgan Geist Remix)” by Bot’ox (right click, save as)

Just browsing our inbox and found this in here. Overdrive is right - it starts off slow and you can’t really tell where its going. Then everything starts to kick in all the sudden and you feel like you’ve lost your brakes on your delorean on an 8-bit freeway. Minimalistic but also exhilarating and frenetic. Don’t really understand why more people haven’t been covering Bot’ox actually.

Bot’ox’s “Overdrive” EP (complete with the original and a slew of remixes, including this one) comes out on June 7th

DOWNLOAD: “Hearts on Fire (Jerry’s Drum Dub)” by Cut Copy (right click, save as)

So I’ve been on a bit of a music deficit recently - the only things I’ve been listening to religiously are Aeroplane’s mixes for that Joakim remix of Goldfrapp that isn’t out (check out the March mix and Essential mix) and Holy Ghost’s remix of “Drunk Girls” because it is absolutely incredible. Then I stumbled upon Holy Ghost’s blog and found the following video of Jerry Fuchs killing it on the drums. Thought I should share a relatively old dub of Jerry on a Cut Copy remix. If you are a huge fan of drums and nothing else (like I am), you’ll probably really dig this remix. 

DOWNLOAD: House Party Mix by Carte Blanche (via Fairtilizer)

Tweeted this earlier but I think it deserves a proper post. New mix by Mehdi and Riton’s project, Carte Blanche. Housey goodness of course with some new goodies including their latest single featuring the amazing Kid Sister, “Do! Do! Do!”. Here’s Carte Blanche’s motivation behind the mix:

We made this thinking of what could be the best thing to play at your house, on a friday night, when your friends are bumrushing your flat and your neighbours/parents/neighbourhood cops are out of town.

Their EP, Black Billionaires, is set to be released on May 31st through Ed Banger.
