Here is the newest single from the Melbourne-based Cullen. You all might remember him from his first single Easily Impressed, which came out in June 2010. If you don’t that’s okay because you can very quickly and easily find it here. Like that last single, Crazy Enough also comes with a handful of great remixes to enjoy. Although the single hasn’t been named with what album it’s hitting, you can still pay close attention to future releases via his website. For more news see the press pack bio below!

Cullen’s emergence as a solo artist began in 2007 when Triple J Unearthed selected an early demo as a feature track. Following weeks of airplay, Cullen decided to get serious, so in true Australian style he threw a keg party to help raise funds for a session in a proper recording studio. These sessions led to a demo EP and from there on in it’s been two years of non-stop work, culminating in an eight month stint in London, where he completed the final recordings for his forthcoming album with UK production duo The Slips.

Crazy Enough is the second track to preview off the album. The package features a dark brooding electro remix from talented US producer VIKING best known for his remix work with Kid Cudi, Amanda Blank and most recently The Like, as well as a wash of eighties synth goodness from Sydney’s prolific Diamond Cut.

Round Up #7: Max Sedgley, Crystal Castles, Cinnamon Chasers, Foamo, Andy Caldwell

Two whole weeks left until I’m back on here full time. Hopefully you are all enjoying the occasional round up that has been tossed up. I promise to get back to the ‘one artist a day-style’ posting in the next little bit so if you’re an artist looking for some spotlight keep the music coming. We love getting new stuff- or even just drop us a line to say hi.

Something Special is some electro funk at its finest. Nice rifts, sultry vocals, Max Sedgley puts it all together within this piece.

It’s been awhile since any new Crystal Castles remix has graced my library. Needless to say, problem solved. The Midnight Conspiracy remix to Crimewave is sick. It has a whole range of new elements to get attached too.

Crystal Castles – Crimewave (Midnight Conspiracy Remix)

Cinnamon Chasers are great. I have been patiently waiting for Davies to toss out the original to the Diamond Cut remix of I Like Watching You posted months ago.  It happened to come out within the past week and stays within the traditional soundscape/ light-electro style we grew accustomed too.

Cinnamon Chasers – You

Cinnamon Chasers – I Like Watching You (Diamond Cut Remix)

The Diamond Cut remix is a little more into the disco-scene so I thought I would re-post that for those who like to move a little bit more.

The Foamo / Warrior One combo in Centavo are quickly spreading around the blogosphere like an uncontainable brushfire: hot and outta control. The heavy beat has aspects of drum and bass while adding in nice sides of house creating some dirty electro.

Foamo – Centavo (Warrior One Remix)

The last few months I have been going back a little bit within the Andy Caldwell archives. The house-electro concept mixed in with funk beats is infectious. This remix is relatively new to me and just has that edge to push Andy Caldwell that much over the top. I love it.

Round Up #5: Monarchy, Diamond Cut, Warrior One, Foals

Sorry for falling off the face of the earth. Another week being buried in books is coming, and another week in music has past… here’s whats helping me ease the pain:

I finally stumbled into a digital copy of The Phoenix Alive this week by Monarchy. I’ve listened to it a couple of times from secondary sources but it’s nice to have something to pass on [See Monarchy past - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4]. The UK duo started spread many light disco delights across the blogosphere last year with Gold In The Fire and since have really honed their own style. As a bonus we included another remix from Kris Menace.

If you want more hit hypem for tons more accessible goodies to boost your library with including another remix from Hot City on The Phoenix Alive; but if you’re just looking for a listen, take a gander across  Monarchy’s myspace for more gems.

Diamond Cut beats are sensationally epic. This new mix to the brand new artist in M’Black’s Heartbreak is no different. The NY guys know how to spread some infectious disco vibes. For more Diamond Cut stuff, check out some old stuff we posted here… you won’t be disappointed.

Warrior One tosses up a dirty mix to Foreign Office’s Leaving The House. There’s lots of great elements within so I hope you enjoy it. And if you don’t know who Warrior One are? Try this…

“Warrior One are 2 people. One of them is called 4. Both are 29. One lives East London. One lives West. One is from Dublin. One of them isn’t. One is the producer. One is the reducer. Warrior One is a master yoga pose dedicated to Virabhadra, the name of a fierce warrior incarnation of Shiva, who had a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, and a thousand feet, and wields a thousand clubs whilst wearing a tiger’s skin. Deadly.” – myspace

I bet you’re still in the dark but honestly what does it matter when the duo produce remixes like this?:

Foals have the new feel good song of the week:

Gold In The Fire [Monarchy+Diamond Cut]

The original is a month old but still has that soft captivating sound that we all enjoy. I was buzzin off Gold In The Fire for its initial three weeks before it slowly started to fade from my speakers and take its rightful place within my library. The London-based duo Monarchy have a lot of people talking after October’s debut success.

They have finally released some new tracks!! All of which are actually not half bad. I’m a big fan of the Penguin Prison Remix (found on myspace).  Still, I haven’t been able to find anything released to share but if something comes up I will definitely toss it up.  For now check out all the new stuff on their myspace.

What prompted me to bring this track back up again is the brand new remix by Diamond Cut. I know we just mentioned them a few days prior but we somehow crossed paths or were writing the post as he was producing because we somehow missed it.  It’s a great 80s-esque remix.  I dig it.

Cinnamon Chasers are my favourite solo project when it comes to producing electro-pop melodies.  The track Luv Deluxe continues to be one of my top played instrumentals this year.  Since it came out, Russ Davies is only getting better.  He is known more for the softer/indie take on electro-pop instrumentals.  Lately his tracks are accompanied by dreamy soft vocals; although, its nothing to heavy that would detract from Davies signature sound.  If you want to follow up, be sure to check out the various tracks the Cinnamon Chasers are promoting via myspace.

Diamond Cut recently took notice and churned out a remix to the Chaser’s track I Like Watching You.  Adding a bit of flare and a catchy dance vibe the two combine to create one dreamy disco track.
