JONAS SCHWARTZ / DRIFT STATIC / BEAR FEET / FORBIDDEN PLANET / FRENSSU

From the Swedish home of Adore Music comes Jonas Schwartz on some gorgeous ideas reigned courtesy of Rebel Rebel’s drum based and moody lead.

If there was ever a cause to strip back this remix as an Instrumental, then Drift Static’s version of ‘Free’ would be making a bee-line for those more discerning floors favouring a more friendlier uproot. Nevertheless, this a thoughtful production Germany/Holland’s DS.

Perth, Australia is our next destination courtesy of George Mair (aka Bear Feet) for some proper filtered disco groove-ness, while the forbidden planet that exists within Paris, France doesn’t seem on moving away from vintage analogue plates & cutlery whatsoever.

Helsinki, Finland is our final stop with some top drawer finesses. Motioned by grace and hurried along with a draft of a discothèque and a mark of a spinal scratch. As accidents are sure to happen, then do make sure that Frenssu is not screaming at you: “When I Call Her” right down your neck – or there is sure to be trouble! An awesome screech there!

Thus brings to a close an inventive production of five acts – showing off arty & digital flair.

INFERNAL DEVICES – Passengers

BIGkids – Superhero

Hammering their sound from right out of the more saner and talented parts of Camden Town, North London.. Ben Hudson & Rosie Oddie hit the nail right on its head in care of a wickedly directed music video depicting ‘Superhero’ and some Solid-state steel remixes for their ‘Drum In Your Chest’ Original.

There’s absolutely no chance of this spanking brand new band being taken to any of the Trading Standards fearing, second hand retailers that dawn Camden or any other inner city borough is there? As this particular concept is Not-For-Sale / Not-Selling-Themselves-Short.

BIGkids – shall never grow up. There’s a message in this for all.

BONUS!

ZEBRA AND SNAKE – Money In Heaven

Released today on 100% Records, ‘Money In Heaven’ is taken from Finland’s Zebra And Snakes’ “Healing Music” LP which is out on the 14 May 2012.

Their Original which is sprung immediately into a cheerful, sing-a-long refrain as a catchy submarine tight melody, remains faultless across its three minute standing and is accompanied by another perfect remix shaped & moulded by London’s Kashii.

The conventional sounds of House & Garage music get more and more intense by the day and this remix by Kashii is a highly rated customary example.

KIDDA – Get Close (Sneekers Remix) [Skint Records]

As the world awaits the Marvel premiere of motion picture The Amazing Spider-Man and the “ticking-timebomb-of-collapse” in regards to Kanye West & Kim Kardashee-Who.. Lithuanian duo The Sneekers confine themselves to a patient sitting of electronic fruity throw-ups – and vintage original house-beef to perk up the party cows and after-party lambs of our nocturnal stratospheres.

Released 21 May 2012 on Skint Records.

Grain Noir, Zander Bleck, CeasarSoundSystem, Sound Remedy, The Boomzers, Back From The Future + Dada Life

Embodying the French quintessence of production, programming, visuals, image and sound: Grain Noir is where “Grain” is an acronym that stands for “Generative, Random, Audio, Images & Numbers” and “Noir (Black)” refers to the unknown, hypothetical dark matter that makes up nearly 80% of this universe.

Grain Noir is a concept which brings together the idea of themes running through concepts and divided theories about glacier surges being horsewhipped into chaos.

Dedicating its progressive outlook to the human being of today and tomorrow – plus the perimeters of the past and the future, Grain Noir’s 4-track EP of electronic surprises experiment kindly to everybody’s ears, and open up the real meaning of paradoxes and us mere mortals being absent amongst our digital / analogue machines.

*  *  *  *

On Zander Bleck’s New York remix package, the Sick Individuals Dub releases its love-thrown dart quite sternly and is clearly the best of the best from this package bar none. Proper flawless-euphoria is on offer there.

CeasarSoundSystem provides the always favoured free downloads basket of electro-fried goodies necessitating a 4-track EP starting from ‘Monkey,’ ‘The System’ and ‘Grip’ (which we’ve posted before) being the biggest heavyweights of the pack. We’ll let you decide …

Sound Remedy shouts us an Anthony Howell chirp and goes rather Indie to start off with, but ends up in traditional S.R. land where beggars & choosers are fighting for their next Giro and benefit cheques to be cashed.

The Boomzers circle in red the 11 May 2012 on their calendar for this rather rude & fierce Cyberpunkers remix and Back From The Future tell us all why they love Wynter Gordon so much + why she is actually their secret God daughter from a baptism christening that they were never invited to …

Finally on the video platform, Dada Life present themselves in either an ode to Aphex Twin + Chris Cunningham for their visual idea.. or they’re actually secretly telling us that they want to be a couple of Lady Boys on call from Thailand. Either way, this sole production when put aside from the video – is the tip of the top / a good one for Dada Life.

Seven selections: for the lucky Seven’s amongst you.

DRAGONETTE – Let It Go {Video}

The sentiments and overall message that fills up this capture on film from Dragonette speaks for itself, as it concludes that “..the creeps in this video will go to great extremes to ensure you’re always happy, even if it means leaching happiness from other unsuspecting humans and condensing it into pills to feed to you.

These weirdos think you need help keeping your thoughts light and your mind vacant.” And as Dragonette concludes – you should just let it go.

So its with no further ado that we introduce the new ‘Let It Go’ music video from Toronto, Canada’s Dragonette. See if they’re coming to your town sometime soon …

STEVE ANGELLO, TIGA – You Gonna Want Knas (Moguai Bootleg)

It’s life-size, it’s gargantuan, it’s resembles the size of a mouse on steroids …

It’s the stable of Mau5trap most latest n’ gracious release called ‘Lyme’ coming off from Moguai’s rather fruitful & discerning LP entitled “Mpire.”

Accompanied by its bridesmaid in a man & woman type wedding ceremony with hands reaching out down the aisle, is this flowery bootleg embracing Tiga & Steve Angello into ‘You Gonna Want Knas.”

Erm.. YES PLEASE Moguai!

Backnbloom – Music For The Modern Monkey LP [Fabulous Feat Music]

Not without sounding like a positively weird amalgamation of U2, Fused, The Cranberries and Garbage all split-ended and slammed into an electric food blender.. collectively; the goosebump indication and melancholy presence through ‘Flicker’ and the simultaneous lividness by ‘Hollywood Blvd. Remix,’ ‘Slip Away’ & ‘The Feel’ indicate a luxury wrapped album with more excitement to it than an over glorified showroom salesman.

Lori Steele & Alberto Beka as Backnbloom make all of their spirits into a love den and coat “Music For The Modern Monkey” in head ordained honours.

Available as a MUST BUY purchase through Bandcamp now.
