Babe, Terror - 'Havai' (Memory Tapes Rework)

You might have guessed by now that I am a Memory Tapes fan since I post a lot of his remixes and reworks on this blog. So here is another, a wonderful rework of Babe, Terror's Havai and it's nothing short of stellar. Babe, Terror uses his voice and lo-fi recording equipment to make music, making it a fantastic template for the mesmerising stylings created by Memory Tapes. The accompanying video was shot with an intangible and vintage feel which I suppose reflects the rework itself. It's a good one for a Friday!

The 'Havai'/Epicentro EP is out on Monday on Phantasy Sound with the original track and re-workings from Memory Tapes and Duke Dumont.

Listen To The Late Of The Pier Remix EP - Remixes from Soulwax and Simon Bookish.

After releasing their double A side single earlier this year with Best In Class and Blueberry, Late Of The Pier are set to release a remix EP of both tracks on Phantasy Sound on August 23rd.
Best In Class gets a filthy make over from none other than the kings of the remix Soulwax. In true style the Dewaele brothers take the track to the next level, leaving a trail of sonic destruction in their path.
Simon Bookish gives an already trippy Blueberry a supernatural edge, as if Kraftwerk loving aliens invaded the studio while everyone was out on a tea break and added some of their signature, electronic melodies to the mix.

You can listen to snippets of each remix below and head over to Phantasy Sound to pre-order your copy of the EP.

In the remix: Hot Chip, Boys Noize, Yeasayer & Crookers all remix N.E.R.D's Hot N Fun

I found this remix post originally over at the 514 Blog and thought it was definitely worthy of re-posting. The latest single from N.E.R.D, Hot N Fun, features Ms Nelly Furtado and is taken from their forthcoming album Nothing due out in September.
What I love about this though is the random selection of remixes for Hot N Fun. You get the signature funky house beats from Hot Chip, the thumping synths from Boys Noize, the peculiar chopped up version from Yeasayer and the proper funky electro injection from Crookers.

All worth a listen below though my favs are Hot Chip & Boys Noize.

Hot Chip Remix


Boys Noize Remix

Sunday remixes: Yeasayer - ONE (Clancy & Build remix) and Crystal Castles - Suffocation (Memory Tapes remix).

Okay a here are a couple of remixes for you before I hit the sunshine for the afternoon.
So first up I have a remix of Yeasayer's O.N.E from London based DJ & music producer Rich Clancy. This is the second remix he has thrown my way in the past couple of months and you can check out his excellent remix of Delphic's Halcyon HERE.

While His Delphic remix was an electro stomper, Clancymusic's Yeasayer remix definitely oozes a summery vibe. The happy synths compliment Anand Wilder's airy vocal while making it nice and suitable for any club set. Check it out HERE.


Memory Tapes regularly posts remixes over on his blog www.weirdtapes.blogspot.com and I love what he has done with the Crystal Castles track Suffocation. Far from keeping it clubby and beat invaded, Memory Tapes gives Suffocation a real ethereal feel, dulling down the static that usually accompanies a C.C track.
You can acquire your free download of Suffocation over on the his blog and also be sure to check out the equally great remix of Boy 8-Bit's Cricket Scores too.

Delphic - Halcyon Clancy Remix

I love it when a top remix comes my way and hats off to London music producer Rich Clancy, for sending me over his cheeky remix of Delphic's Halcyon. The CLANCY remix gives an already enslaving Halcyon a bold and far more vivacious feel and is a perfect way to start the party this Easter weekend.

Check it out over on Soundcloud.

Gorillaz - Stylo remixes (DJ Kofi and Labrinth)

Today I bring you two new remixes of Stylo from Gorillaz, the first from DJ Kofi and the second from Labrinth. My preference lies with the Labrinth remix which has a bit more impact and who also did a fantastic remix Hockey's Learn To Lose last year. Enjoy!

Gorillaz release Plastic Beach on March 5th (Irl).
