Lindstrøm & Christabelle - Real Life Is No Cool

First, let me apologize for the lack of posts the last few weeks, I've just started a new job and have had severely less time to devote to the blog but hopefully that will change soon enough. I felt it was only fair of me to break my silence with the most anticipate album release of 2010 for me, Lindstrøm & Christabelle's Real Life is No Cool. I haven't had the time to give this the attention it deserves, so no review yet, but something tells me if I had, I would be gushing over how awesome it is. Thanks to the guys over at I Keep Forgettin' for the link .

The Faint - Battlehymn for the Children (Tensnake Remix)

The Faint - Battlehymn for the Children (Tensnake Remix)

CatComplex - Love Gemma

A great dreamwave track from Spain's Catcomplex titled "Love Gemma." A perfect track for a 3AM dance floor, where you lock eyes with a special someone, and dance the rest of the night away. Some great tension release with the one lyrical line "It's tiiiimmmeeeeeee"

Catcomplex - Love Gemma

Soft Rocks - Leave Your Earth Behind

A nice deep disco/space disco track for you this Wednesday morning. Eight and a half minutes of greatness, check it out.

Soft Rocks - Leave Your Earth Behind

Fabian - Heatwave

Some fantastic dreamwave from the Binary family. Fabian's "Heatwave" is that perfect synth-pop dreamwave sound to bring you a touch of warmth as the winter progresses on. As a bonus, here are two remixes, one by Valerie Collective's Russ Chimes and another by Binary artist Short Circuit. Both remixes and the original are all solid tracks, with the short circuit remix being more glitchy of a track you'd hear on the dance floor of a smokey club.

Fabian - Heatwave

Fabian - Heatwave (Short Circuits Heatstroke Edit)

Lindstrøm and Christabelle - Lovesick

If you're a fan of most of the music posted on this blog, then it shouldn't be news to you that Lindstrom and Christabelle are dropping a new album on January 18th titled "Real Life Is No Cool." So, what would one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2010 be without a track leak or two? Today we have Lovesick, a decliciously groovy track with Christabelle's loving vocals.

From what I understand, this track doesn't even scratch the surface of what's really on the album. Apparently there are multiple tracks on there as good as Lindstrom's epic "I Feel Space", and if that's true, we are in for quite the treat. Enjoy.

Lindstrøm and Christabelle - Lovesick

The Units - High Pressure Days (Rory Phillips Remix)

Continuing my string of posts ripped from the various Aeroplane sets I saw over last week, here is Rory Phillips remix of The Units' High Pressure Days. At the time I was so sure this was some sort of Talking Heads remix and spent days scouring the web for it but couldn't find anything. A friend was able to ID the track this morning and even the rainy weather in NY couldn't bring me down at the moment. This is a perfect blend of 1980's synth punk with a modern day dance reworking to smooth out the edges and make this track quite the burner.

The Units - High Pressure Days (Rory Phillips Remix)

Classixx ft. Jeppe - I'll Get You

An extremely catchy tune from Classixx, a bit hard to classify, kind of like poppy disco/electro, with probably the most catchy lyrics on a track I've heard in a while. Aeroplane spun this on friday at Insiders and had the place going nuts.

"Do you like bass?" Well, I know I do.

Classixx ft. Jeppe - I'll Get You

Aeroplane at Insiders 2009

Aeroplane spins A-Trak's remix of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Heads will Roll, posted earlier this week. I've been playing the shit out of that track, so seeing my favorite DJs drop it last night at Iriving Plaza was absolutely awesome. Great little run by Aeroplane here in NYC, hopefully they come back soon.

Shit Robot - Work It Out (Todd Terje Remix)

Todd Terje is a man who knows house/disco music. His remix of Shit Robot's Work it Out is really vastly better then the original and is just a great 10 minute journey of soulful piano with hypnotic drum beats. Enjoy

Shit Robot - Work It Out (Todd Terje Remix)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix)

Here's a little banger to get your week started, A-Trak doing his thing on Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Heads Will Roll." He takes a great song and gives it his patented re-working and turns this into quite the little club anthem.

"Off off with your head, dance dance till your dead" If that's not a song welcoming Halloween in the coming weeks, I'm not sure what is. Enjoy.

Well everyone, sorry for the extreme lack of updates the last two weeks. I've been having some extremely busy days at work and was in London all of last week for business as well. So without further ado, here's a great track from Keenhouse titled "Ari-es." Some wonderfully light vocals over some synthpop make this a great dreamwave track.

Keenhouse - Ari-es

Phoenix - Love Like a Sunset (Animal Collective Remix - Deakin's Jam)

Anyone who is an Animal Collective fan should check out this remix of Phoenix's "Love Like a Sunset." Check out these words from AC on Phoenix's Blog:

"“This spring i was in Panama with Brian. We were cramped into a van on a bumpy, winding Central American road going a little too fast. Feeling a little edgy, I put on my headphones and listened to United and Alphabetical back to back. I watched passing fruit stands, a sweet central american dusk and memories of the massive schools of jelly fish, snapper, and trevally; the few dolphin and even the few bluefin tuna (too few) that Brian and i had just had the joy of diving with. The blend of all of these things put me at ease. Phoenix has been a staple for all four of us since Dave and Noah brought home United from the record store they used to work at. One of the records that would get us through some of those long cross country tour drives, we’ve listened to Phoenix’s jams many many times. We were all totally psyched to get asked to do this and it was super fun to work on it. All the best to those dudes.”"

Phoenix - Love Like a Sunset (Animal Collective Remix - Deakin's Jam)

RA Podcast #172 - Still Going

"Olivier Spencer and Eric Duncan are two guys with some serious disco credentials. As part of the Rub N Tug duo with Thomas Bullock, Duncan has been at the forefront of the current disco revival ever since their rowdy looped up version of Chicago Transit Authority's "I'm a Man" appeared on Rong Music, with remixes of Out Hud, LCD Soundsystem, Sly Mongoose and Roxy Music becoming dance floor staples in sets of more discerning disco and house DJs. Both Spencer and Duncan are part of edit supergroup How & Why alongside Rong co-founder Jason Drummond (AKA DJ Spun), and as one part of House Of House, Liv is responsible for the end of the night disco-house bomb "Rushing To Paradise."

As Still Going, it's been a long two years since the duo kicked off their production project with the memorably anthemic piano-house grooves of "Still Going Theme," but they've finally managed to follow it up. "Spaghetti Circus," which opens their RA podcast, is a totally different beast, with the outlandishly rousing voice of comedian/musician Reggie Watts riding atop the track's duelling guitars and galloping beat. London residents digging their RA podcast will be no doubt glad to know that the pair will be making their UK debut for Warm at Plastic People this Friday. We spoke to Liv and Eric about the mix, house music in New York and the "difficult second single."

"Still Going Theme" was a massive anthem. Did you feel much pressure when producing the follow up?

Not really. We actually started this record right after we wrapped on "Still Going Theme." Then got caught up on remixes and our respective Rub n Tug and House Of House productions. The players who contributed to the record were all tracked in LA and NYC over the course of the following months. We recorded Reggie (Watts) late this Spring. Took us a bit more time than expected to turn this one out, but we're quite happy with the outcome.

Where and how was the mix recorded?

We recorded it at Liv's studio in Brooklyn. A mix of 12-inches and CDs recorded through Ableton Live - quick and easy. It's a pretty good glimpse of what we play out. Also figured this mix had to cater to both the cubicle crowd and permanent vacationers ;-)

What are each of your production roles in the studio?

It's a collaborative effort.

Eric: Producer, arranger, programming, lyrics on "Untitled Love". Oh... and "beer getter" too.

Liv: Producer, recording and mix engineer, guitar, keys and programming.

Liv, your original productions tend to be collaborations. Is there any particular reason why this is the case, or do you just prefer to produce with other people?

I do see music as essentially collaborative. Technology has made it much easier to write, record, and mix by oneself. But what's the fun in that? Original productions aside, I find myself taking on more solo remixes lately.

Eric, are there any plans for original Rub N Tug material in the near future?

A Rub N Tug album was recorded in Brooklyn in September of 2008. We're still in the process of editing and adding final touches. Coming soon!

Liv, your Discogs entry says that you’re also a composer and sound designer. What projects have you been doing this sort of work on?

Mainly TV and advertising to date. With some sound art and the odd short film thrown in for good measure. These projects run through my Amalgamated Superstar outfit.

When you ask people about New York house music, clubs like the Shelter and Sound Factory tend to spring to mind. Do you think the city is turning a corner into a new era of house?

Hard to say... House music's always had a strong footing in this city but people tend to wax nostalgic about this kinda stuff. Arguably, there are fewer iconic house clubs here at the moment, but great parties do go off regularly. The same can be said for producers and DJs. The old school heads are still very much in the game, and a new generation's coming up fast behind them. So can't really say there's been resurgence per se. House never left us in the first place.

What are you up to next?

We're currently recording a follow up single and spending some time on the road DJing."

Cut Copy Collection

I love Cut Copy.

Not much more to say other than that. They are masters of their craft and I enjoy pretty much every release they have ever put out. Here is a compilation of all their albums, EPs, and mixes.

Super Mal - Blood and Sun

Here's an awesome track from French house producer's Super Mal. In my eyes they have successfully succeeded in creating a track both extremely happy and evil at the same time. Half of the synth leads make you feel like you're in the movie "Halloween" while the other half make you feel like you're sitting in the sun.
