Mille - Afterski


This track time travels you back somewhere in the 80s to a ski lodge after a hard day of skiing. Aptly named "Afterski," Mille's blend of 8bit/electro will evoke dreams of neon and dancing.

Mille - Afterski by Mille Music

Starlesoufs - Secret Love


Here's a downtempo, self described "french house" track from Starlesoufs for you on this Monday morning. It has a nice cosmic/space disco feel that's not a bad way to start the week. We'll pick up the tempo as the day goes on.

Booka Shade - "Regenerate" (Kris Menace Remix)


So I dropped in with a remix of Emil's "Walkin on the Moon" by Kris Menace last week, however, sitting at my computer today, my man Kris Menace has popped back up, this time with a remix to Booka Shade's "Regenerate."  Best part about the original - the Super Mario Fireballs that get dropped on the track.  Best part about the remix by Menace?  The monster drop with fire balls a la mode. Deepest of the deep house, get after it.

Housse De Racket - Roman (Oliver Remix)

Good morning ladies and gents, here's some french disco to get the blood moving on this friday morning. Who's ready for the weekend?

Foster the People - Houdini (RAC Remix)

An absolute monster of a track. I've been loving a bunch of RAC remixes lately, and two of them happen to be FTP tracks, including this one. With a huge build, the drop will have you singing "I want to disappear" for hours after hearing this.

Foster the People - Call it What You Want (Mille Remix)


Another FTP remix for you, this time by Mille. A great 80's dance feel in this once, Mille does a great job.

Call It What You Want - Foster the People (Mille Remix) by Mille Music

Foster the People - Helena Beat (Build Remix)


In honor of tonight's Foster the People/Cut Copy show, here's a remix of their track Helena. I'm really excited to check these guys out as I've been enjoying a lot of their music in the last few months.

Starsmith - Champion


A great electro pop track from Starsmith. Starts out with some abrassive electro, then drops into a small piano solo with vocals that give it a great pop feel.

Silenx - Night Drive Music


Good morning ladies and gents, hope you all had a wondeful weekend. Kicking off the week is Silenx's recent mixtape "Night Drive Music" which he describes like so:

""Night Drive Music Mixtape" is a story about cars, highways, ladies and synthetic vibes. A mixture of 80s, dreamwave and electronic flavours. Lots of high energy for your burnout road adventures. Hope you enjoy it."

I doubt any of you need any more convincing then that. The mix sets the pace very nicely with a Kavinsky track to start it off that you might recognize from the Valerie and Friends compilation a year or so ago. Don't miss this one.

Tracklist:
01. (Intro.) Kavinsky – Flashback
02. Russ Chimes – Daytona
03. Cut Copy – Far Away (Damn Arms Remix)
04. Tesla Boy – Electric Lady
05. White Sea – Ladykiller (Gigamesh Remix)
06. DVAS – Inner Sanctum
07. GRUM – Fashion
08. Chromeo – Hot Mess (Ride The Universe Remix)
09. Muffin – Sunkissed
10. GRUM – Turn It Up
11. Empire Of The Sun – We Are The People (Build Remix)
12. Anoraak – Nightdrive With You (Fear Of Tigers Remix)
13. Xinobi – Woodstock
14. (Outro.) GRUM – LA Lights

Empire of the Sun - Walking On A Dream (EarthMoonEarth Remix)


A fresh remix on an older track on this friday afternoon. An rendition with a certain dreamwave3 feel is the perfect song for a sunday by the pool or at the beach. Enjoy the weekend.

Emil - Walkin' on the Moon (Kris Menace Remix)


Michael Jackson may have passed quite some time ago, however, people will continue to try and mimic his style for infiinity.  UK pop singer Emil is one of those many, taking samples from "Walkin' on the Moon" by The Dream and throwing his vocals on board.  Once Kris Menace's golden touch hit the track, electro pop hotness was born.  Menace, a German born DJ/producer specializes in electro, house, and has been seen on other remixes such as Booka Shade's official "Regenerate" remix tape.  Get your full length mirror windexed and ready for a potential dance off with yourself. 

Emil - Walkin' On the Moon (Kris Menace Remix)

Robyn - Indestructible (A-Trak Remix)


Here's a high octane, locomotive style remix from A-Trak of Robyn's "Indestructible" coming at ya. Albeit a tad old, Robyn's disco vocals mixed with the night rider esque synth lines and repetitive yet catchy drum loop makes for a great track.

John Legend - Rolling In The Deep (Edwin van Cleef Remix)


Here's a track that has been on repeat for weeks for me. It's Edwin van Cleef's remix of John Legend's cover of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep." Whew. Adele's original track is one I'm sure you all have heard, along with Villa's remix which was featured on a recent Magician mixtape, however I wouldn't be surprised if this one snuck by. Legend's soulful vocals bring out a different, deeper side of the song that is backed up with an absolute dance party behind it.


Who's ready to get back on Fresh Mode?

Hello my fellow music listeners!

It's been a long time, but the time has finally come for me to get back into blogging and sharing music with all you fine folks. I imagine most of you have long stopped coming to the blog, but perhaps some of you still have me tucked away somewhere in your Google Reader hoping one day "The Fresh Mode (1)" will appear, well, today is that day. Lots has changed in my life, but I wont bother boring you with what kept me from posting. I hope to have almost daily updates starting with today, and what better way to start then with the recently leaked mix compilation from The Twelves.


With my first Twelves set coming up this Friday night, I was happy to see this passed my way and I couldn't think of a better way to reboot the blog then with this mix. The first 7 tracks are exclusive unreleased dub's of recent Twelves remixes which is wonderfully slow way to get it started and get your body moving. The remaining tracks start to really take off with the Ratatat track and deliver a perfectly mixed blend of funk, pop and electro. For those familiar with their essential mix (one of the best mixes ever in my opinion), this is not as electro heavy or aggressive, but still manages to really get you dancing.

It's good to be back. Enjoy.

01. The Twelves – Handshake (Dub) 4:28
02. Munk – Violent Love (The Twelves Tabloid Dub) 4:27

05. Two Door Cinema Club – Something Good Can Work (The Twelves Tabloid Mix) 3:12
06. Black Strobe – Me And Madonna (The Twelves Tabloid Mix) 3:20
07. French Horn Rebellion VS Database – Beaches And Friends (The Twelves Tabloid Mix) 4:29

08. Ratatat – Wildcat 2:23
09. Reverso 68 – Piece Together (Part 1) 2:45
10. Sasse Feat Kiki – Loosing Touch 2:52
11. Chaz Jankel – Without You 2:55

Abakus - Prisms


Abakus' newest LP Prisms is finally here and I think it was worth the wait. It has a way more progressive trance sound then his older stuff and each track brings you in an entirely different direction. I would have loved for it to be in the vein of We Share the Same Dreams, one long epic journey, but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked most of the tracks on this disc. I'll let you be the judge though, let me know what you think.

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.

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"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Monarchy - Gold in the Fire


A wonderful track from a new duo based out of London, England. Mostly an electro pop sound, with fantistic vocoder use. Looking forward to see what these guys come up with in the future. Check it out.

Keenhouse - Ari-es


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.

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.”"
