XLR8R Adds Miami to Their Guide
XLR8R's City Guide now has Miami.
I get a lot of MP3s sent to me throughout the week, too many to do a write up on all of them. Lots of them are really good though, so instead of letting them disappear into the depths of my inbox I have decided to do a weekly “MP3 roundup”. These are tracks that I wasn’t able to do a writeup on, but still want to share with you.
South Central – Aeon (Highly Recommended)
Frankmusic – When You’re Around (Boys Noize mix)
MGMT – Electric Feel (James Rutledge Remix)
Mr. Vegas – “Oh My Gosh” (Gutter Remix)
Sister of Transistors – The Don (Acid Girls Grey Disco Remix)
Soulwax is making quite the buzz lately. Blog readers everywhere were nearly peeing their pants with anticipation for the release of the Soulwax remix of MGMT’s “Kids”. This is really nothing new though. Remixes of The Gossip’s “Standing in the Way of Control” and Klaxon’s “Gravity’s Rainbow” will go down as some of my favorite remixes of all time. Now they have released the remix of Chemical Brothers’ track “Hey Boy, Hey Girl that is just amazing. The gritty baseline in this remix is enough to make the hairs on the back on your neck stand up. I can only imagine what it would be like to see Soulwax live and listen to them perform these remixes they are putting out.

I am a little behind on this one, and I can’t believe I didn’t start listening to MGMT (their website is horribly awesome) until just recently. When I think of music of the current decade, I think of music inspired by the past revisited and done right this time. MGMT sounds like classic rock done right. Their first full length album Oracular Spectacular was released in stores in January of this year. It was only after hearing the remix Justice did of MGMT’s track “Electric Feel” that I decided to check them out. After hearing the original version of the song I discovered that I actually like it better than Justice’s version (even though it’s a great remix), and I love the entire album.

Twin Shadow has been making some waves throughout the internets lately. I recently purchased his new album Forget, and I must say I quite like it. I am also really liking this remix he has done for Hooray For Earth, who I had never heard of before this song, but will surely be checking them out after hearing it.

The last I heard of Muscles he had quit the music business because of problems with his label Modular. This disappointed me because I love his music. However, I was happy to see that if the rumors were true at the time he has apparently changed his mind. A new EP by Muscles titled Younger & Immature is due out October 29.
Here’s a remix of the first single from the EP ‘Girl Crazy Go’. Check out the music video for the original version here. From the sounds of it Muscles hasn’t lost his musical touch, or his ego.

Music by Bassnectar isn’t something I would normally post here. For the most part I feel his stuff is for dirty rave hippies, and if you read this blog at all you probably know how I feel about the wobbly bass-heavy Dubstep. That being said this remix done of Sleigh Bells‘ song ‘Run the Heart’ is still bass-heavy, but not completely overboard. It also manages to keep a lot of what makes the original track so good.

Chances are if you spend any amount of time on the internet you have heard ‘Hello’ by Martin Solveig featuring the lovely Dragonette (considering it went number one on Hype Machine). But I couldn’t resist posting this super-fun dance-pop masterpiece. It’s basically impossible not to want to dance to this song. I don’t know a lot about Martin Solveig, but from what I have heard and seen so far I am liking his stuff. Purchase the EP with several remixes on Beatport now.

Millionyoung, aka Mike Diaz, is shaping up to be one of my favorite artist of 2010. I really love this cover he has done of Neon Indian’s ‘Local Joke’. He adds his own personality to the song, so much that it sounds as though he could have written it. I am looking forward to a full-length album from him.
