fresh: new La Roux remix!

Everyone knows this song... now check out the chill-out specialist, Dr. Rosen Rosen's, take on it:

In For The Kill (Dr. Rosen Rosen remix) - La Roux

I definitely dig this. They are apparently re-releasing it as a single in the U.S. (a mere 18+ months after it was released across the pond) because America essentially needs to be spoon-fed quality pop before i ingests it properly. I hate the record industry.

essentials: remixes of marina, lady gaga, rihanna

Fred Falke has waved his wand and done it again! He really knows how to make songs better, as well as leave them with an inescapable Falke-stamp. He's pure talent. Check out his remix of Marina & The Diamonds' Shampain!

Shampain (Fred Falke remix edit) - Marina & The Diamonds

A few months ago Lady Gaga released an 'official' remix album. Most of it was full of excrement, except for this track. I love that she had the scrotum to use Manson for this, even if he's culturally insignificant right now. Chew Fu really is a great DJ/Producer, especially for big gay dance, which is what this is.

Love Game (Chew Fu remix) - Lady Gaga ft. Marilyn Manson

Mixin Marc, despite his terrible stage moniker, is making quite the name for himself in the remix world. This is the 2nd track that I've loved of his... the first was that god-awful Taio Cruz Dynamite track that sounds like Richard Simmons and Jack MacFarland's lovechild. Well... this one from Rihanna is almost as good.

Only Girl (In The World) (Mixin Marc remix) - Rihanna

3 tracks: SIREN songs for tonight!

In a rare moment where SHIFT gets reeeeeeal gay, here are three remixes you'll probably (I mean, most definitely) possibly maybe likely presumably hear tonight at SIREN! A good mix of dark electro (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), the queen of fluff (Kylie Minogue), and the best remix of any BOY BAND song I've ever heard (Backstreet Boys). Enjoy!

Get Outta My Way (SDP remix) - Kylie Minogue by djmajr6

Everybody (Headshotboyz remix) - Backstreet Boys by djmajr6

Dull Life (Professor Purple remix) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs by djmajr6

fresh: Pink, Wolfgang Gartner, Fox In The Henhouse

Raise Your Glass - Pink

Quick Review: Sass and Scream. Sass and Scream. Sass & Scream. I'm Pink, I forewent my exclamation point for cellulite and I still sing with slightly-above-average prowess about the same shit.

Illmerica - Wolfgang Gartner

Quick Review: Wolfgang Gartner is one of the most danceable DJs out there. I would love to hear some serious vocals on this, but appreciate it in its own right, nonetheless. It has moments that remind me of Daft Punk and others that remind me of LA Riots and... well... Wolfgang Gartner. He's great. Good job.

Fears - Fox In The Henhouse

Quick Review: Refreshing new stuff from a wonderfully-named band. Glad I stumbled across this gem from Fox In The Henhouse.

I love this video. That is all, thank you.

remix monday: fischerspooner remixes

Come Into My World (Fischerspooner remix) - Kylie Minogue

tonight: designer drugs return!

So, Designer Drugs will be gracing the big speakers of U-Hall again tonight! Here's a preview with 4 of my favorite remixes of theirs! These boys are seriously talented. Get ready to be sweaty, messy, and crazy. Enjoy!

Anthonio (Designer Drugs remix) - Annie

We Bite (Designer Drugs remix) - Spencer Product

Spit It Out (Designer Drugs remix) - IAMX

Countdown (Designer Drugs remix edit) - Jupiter One

3 tracks: dragonette gets around

Dragonette has really been 'getting around' in the last year. Not only have they released a full-length album (Fixin To Thrill) in October of 2009, but they also released an EP in July called Our Summer Volcano. In the interim, they have collaborated with Martin Solveig twice (well, mostly that was just Martina Sorbera, lead vocalist) on two stellar tracks: Boys & Girls and Hello (which was released in France on Sept 6).

Boys & Girls - Martin Solveig ft. Dragonette

They also joined forces with Kaskade to produce one of the hottest euro-club hits of the summer (which is weird considering Kaskade is American and Dragonette is Canadian) in Fire In Your New Shoes.

Fire In Your New Shoes - Kaskade ft. Dragonette

Now, I know I have put Hello on here before, but that was a cut from the video promotion of the song...THIS is the actual album cut (the first release off Solveig's new album!). Hooray!

Hello - Martin Solveig ft. Dragonette (album cut)

fresh: Jimmy Eat World returns

Jimmy Eat World used to be a great band. They have a fleet of songs from Clarity, Bleed American, and Futures that are worthy of a great deal of acclaim... but that talent seems to have gone the way of the buffalo. Such is the rockstar life, as sometimes your fame outlives your talent.

Their newest LP, Invented, was greatly anticipated by yours truly... but I do feel a bit underwhelmed by the product. There are three tracks worth having on an album that lacks punch, beauty, and the type of transcendent energy that they had come to perfect on previous albums. In other words, it's a big smelly turd. Here are the three tracks worth keeping (granted there are a couple more I can stomach... I just don't care to inundate you with mediocre pop-rock):

Heart Is Hard To Find - Jimmy Eat World

Invented - Jimmy Eat World

Stop - Jimmy Eat World

The interesting aspect of these three collective tracks is that they sound like three of the previously mentioned albums. Stop has a very distinct Futures vibe that resonates mostly in the chorus. Invented (the track) sounds like something from Clarity's post-emo era. Lastly, Heart Is Hard To Find has a strong Bleed American feel to it. Save these three tracks, J.E.W. has left the good side of its sound and focused on the watered-down radio-worthy style that is often the filler on previous albums. Kill your manager.
