p.s. i took that photo

These snaps were taken at 30 Rock (i.e. the GE Building at the Rockefeller Center) on our first night in NYC. Safe to say my mind was blown. I’ll show you the one I took of the Empire State Building another time.

Dem Slackers lucked out on the remixes – pretty much all of them are excellent, I’ve posted most of them below. HUGE drops. Bart B More keeping up the high quality, Evil Nine keeping the late 80s/early 90s rave vibe going, and Clouds pretty much just obliterating what speaker I had left after the previous ones.

p.s. I’ve added some chullwave dialogue (spoken by this man) to a couple of tracks – I think it works well (:

What an awful title haha. Do yourself a favour and add The Hood Internet to whatever RSS reader you have. You won’t regret it. Creating mash-ups using the music from indie/alternative songs and splicing it with siiiick rhymes, The Hood Internet really are excellent. The xx/DMX mash-up is their latest offering and probably their best one since that Grizzly Bear one.

p.s. I saw Boys Noize last night. Fucking mental! I’ll tell you more about it soon.

OK  here’s the story. I’d been listening to Bibio a LOT a couple of weeks ago and noticed a couple of tracks on his new album would sound great mashed up à la The Hood Internet stylee.  I was so sure it’d sound good I dared to send them an email (on July 11th) with this request.

“Hi guys,

This is just a suggestion more than anything else. Bibio’s songs ‘Jealous Of Roses’ and ‘Fire Ant’ (and only in my dreams ‘Lovers’ Carvings’) are crying out for a good mash-up!
Just a thought!

Cheers“

I got this back (July 13th).

“no lie i was working on a fire ant remix just yesterday. look for it soon“

And guess what happened earlier today (July 26th)…

I’ve been botally digging the work of Alan Palomo lately. First his excellent song ‘No Reasons‘ under his VEGA moniker. Now I found out he’s the one (well, him and a girl) behind the boards of Neon Indian. Wonder if he means Indian as in Gandhi or Indian as in Cherokee. Would be a bit weird to see a Neon Gandhi eh?! BANG. Their website says of them,

“…Neon Indian delivers equal parts synthetic nostalgia, dreampop lullabies, and grinding guitar noise to create something eerier than the sum of its parts…”

Listen: Neon Indian – Deadbeat Summer
MP3: Neon Indian – Deadbeat Summer

I wouldn’t even know where to start. It sounds quite vintage but really new at the same time, like someone’s just dusted down an old Cocteau Twins record, taken away lovely Liz Fraser‘s pipes, added a bit of Daft Punk, then mixed it with Air France/Aeroplane/That crew etc. Probably a really bad description but I don’t give a fuck. They don’t pay me to do this ken.

Very chilled. Very summer. Just good and fresh. And I can’t big-up ‘No Reasons‘ enough! Absolutely stunning dance tune.
