We just received this brand new Russ Chimes remix to Booka Shade’s Regenerate. It’s a little different than the standard Chimes stuff we’re accustomed too but I’m loving it. It holds on to one epic synth bassline that will keep you dancing all night long. Christmas came a little early this year.

The third and final video installment of Russ Chimes’ Midnight Club EP video trilogy showed up the last few days completing the series. Some may have already caught the video a little earlier via youtube. Together they are a unique marketing campaign that has sample music from Russ Chimes’ new Midnight Club EP stream across a trilogy of films depicting an ongoing story. The theme chosen is a kidnapping and the attempt to trace evidence back to the scene and how it was filmed really made the project successful. Blog-goers and fans checked bi-weekly for the newest video release allowing the upcoming EP to stay in the news for an additional two months. Pretty smooth. Anyway, here is what all the hype was about in case you missed it.
If you want the music, watch for the new EP release date here!
For all music/things Russ Chimes:
Everyone should stay tuned for Mark Ronson’s new album set to release later this month.
As a free promotion, the talented producer is offering up the latest single Bang Bang Bang on his website here at: http://www.markronson.co.uk/.
It’s pretty spectacular. So far one of the best remixes to be sent out happens to come from the London-based Russ Chimes. It pushes the original back into eighties-mode by being full of retro disco pop and hot beat synthesizers. Be sure to watch out for the new album, and don’t forget to support Ronson!

The 23-year-old Ellie Goulding is gorgeous. And so are her next round of remixes. She starts her Northern European tour March 03, 2010 after a few early dates late January/early February. If you’re anywhere near the Isles, check the blonde bombshell’s myspace for the dates. In the meantime…
Russ Chimes and Max Vangeli (+AN21) do wonders for Ellie’s Starry Eyed. The Vangeli/21 mix is a rip from BBC Radio 1′s Pete Tong’s show. Lots of synth, rhythm and beats for the dance soul and I love the softening of Ellie’s voice in this mix. Great pull. Few days late but worth the respect.

I finally got a hold of some new Russ Chimes! This guy is spectacular. We already mentioned him slightly when he touched up Mowgli’s Road, but Russ Chimes is a London-based producer and DJ who always seems to deliver. I’m still waiting to hear a bad remix from him so if you know any please send them my way… until then check out everything.
The best way to describe the music I think is to describe the experience. I go to a party, put on some Russ Chimes, and for some reason people go nuts. Maybe it’s consuming copious amounts of alcohol, or maybe it’s our addiction to dance music, but whatever it is having people let loose is a thrill that Chimes somehow embeds in his music. The dancing thing is a weird phenomenon you should try out sometime at your parties. It just may work for you.

Marina & The Diamonds released their official video to Mowgli’s Road (dir. by Chris Sweeney) last Tuesday October 20, 2009. With it Marina managed to hit a new weird hybrid of strange and sexy. Right after the video dropped, Russ Chimes and Mille both released their own fantastic versions on the 21st. Both of these tracks come courtesy of Neon Gold Records, a dope label that has some great talent under them. Marina is now moving on to Atlantic and the next step, therefore these last two remixes are her acting sendoff in a strange kind of way. The new Mille remix is regarded as Marina’s personal favorite, while Russ Chimes just throws down like his usual self. A sure party classic for those that like the music loud and the floor moving.
Mowgli’s Road by Marina & The Diamonds is released officially on November 16, 2009.

The new demo from Monarchy is impressive to say the least. The London duo are bringing some flare to some soft electro jams. The track starts off slow until the melodies break into one another, from there it simply takes off. I’m digging every second of it. It’s hard to throw out a comparison for you because there’s many different elements to it. A great mood track to carry you throughout the night. Brilliant. I wish I had a label so I could attempt to sign these guys.
♫ Monarchy – Gold In The Fire (Demo)
Russ Chimes is a pretty sure thing when it comes to providing gold for the dance floor. His latest remix comes from LA Nights, which is now available on itunes. It’s the typical smash from Chimes who never ever seems to disappoint. Myspace is a good place to catch more bangers.
♫ Fabian – Heatwave (Russ Chimes Remix)
I’m sure by now you’ve all caught the new single Night by Night from Chromeo released a few weeks back. All the remixes have came and gone and for now, I found one that really leaves a punch. Skream’s remix just barely edged out the new version from DJ Anonymous. The laidback take does wonders to compliment the pop-based lead vocals from Dave 1. But I still love the funky rework Anonymous does. Anyway I included both, if you feel like sharing post your fav. If you don’t have the original electric avenue has it for you here.

Alan Braxe is one of the few individuals who can reproduce mainstream music into listening gold. Not that teeny boppers don’t have an ear for great music….”To the window! To the wall!” haha; I’m just saying that Braxe definitely knows how to turn it up a notch and it doesn’t matter what piece of music you start him out with. The newest remix to hit us last week was Broken-Hearted Girl. Fantastic Dub remix, but there’s a slow and bothersome Radio Edit out there… so don’t get confused. The ‘right’ version is listed below.
♫ Beyoncé – Broken-Hearted Girl (Alan Braxe Dub Remix)
The interview above is crazy fascinating and Too Many Sebastians led me to it so thanks for that.
Parallels recently dropped a brand new video to their single Ultralight. It captures the track extremely well with it’s neonized visual effects and choppy film transitions.
I’ve been a big fan of the Toronto-based Parallels for awhile now. Their signature sound is extremely captivating but does not deviate too far between each track. This generally means majority of their tracks sound very similar. I don’t mind being a Canadian and a huge Parallels fan but anyone else checking in for the first time should know. I’m looking forward to see more more come our way from Findlay, Dodson and Kehoe. Next listed show is Sep 11.09 at The Mod Club (Toronto).

I almost didn’t want to post anymore Russ Chimes’ on here in case he was planning to release yet another stellar track this week. If you have been in the dark, Chimes has been steadily pumping out remix after remix. Don’t worry, if you missed all the goods this past week here is where we left off.
♫ Crystal Waters – Gypsy Woman (Russ Chimes Unofficial Remix)
Russ Chimes released a stellar remix a couple weeks ago that appears to be… nowhere? Kudos to Trials & Tribulations along with Blouse for getting this our way. The very synthed out, catchy, rhythmic, sound of Chimes returns with this soon to be hit. Excellent grab if you don’t have it. I’m not going to highlight much about Chimes, by now we all know he’s awesome. Check out the oldies via hype machine if you haven’t already.
♫ Heads We Dance – Sirens (Russ Chimes Remix)
Barcelona’s own DJ-Producer, David Borras Paronella aka DJ Noise Up, is finally settling down after a crazy couple years. His track Puerta Plata gained recognition after it was selected by David Amo & Julio Navas as a track for the Brazilian Tour 2007. The track was further featured on the albums Cassagrande So Fresh! and Discazo 2007 sparking a promo tour across the Dominican. Since then, he’s accomplished his first international tour with stops in Madrid, Valencia, Stockholm, and Moscow. In July 2008, Paronella with three friends created YALL, which is a collaborative project between various skilled DJ’s (including Nighty Max who we touched on last May). I was a little confused with what YALL was about before but it’s coming around to me now.
Over & Over Again is a brand new electro-based instrumental. Real simple and chill- easy to lose the last hours of the night too. The B.Rich remix is a little dated but very danceable and showcases much of what Noise Up brings to the hardwood. Definitely something to pick you up again after the last track.
Justin Faust’s newest release Revenge EP came out earlier this week. As a special treat he has released three mixes of tracks found within the album. Get them while they’re hot. As for Faust, he’s no stranger to the industry. He has been producing music since 1992 and in doing so has developed his own unique sound that speaks for itself. Faust has also made noise with some of his own remixes including work from Hamilton’s own Electric Youth. With the release of Revenge, Faust has created some of the best chill synth I have heard in a long time.
