Gigamesh’s remix of “Tongue Tied” is that forever loving disco that Gigamesh does best. I can’t believe how long this took for me to post, let’s just say I didn’t realize how popular the ‘mesh was, but it’s still just as Minnesota fresh.
DJ Faroff’s mashup of The Beatles & LCD Soundsystem (with a lil Kinks thrown in) is “far off” from being new, but I just had to throw it up. “The Brits Are Playing at the Warehouse” is bringing that Beatles sound forward more than just mashing it up. It takes on LCD Soundsystem’s “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House,” which fits just right into this “Get Back” tune. + The Kinks cameo is a nice touch.

This Freedom Fry duo isn’t what I’m usually posting up, but Marie Seyrat’s voice hooked me in ever so slightly. I wasn’t too keen to the track at first, but I knew there was something about that chorus (I’m a sucker for a catchy one).
Well, “Earthquake” has grown on me just enough to give it praise, but I have a feeling it also might have to do with my love appeal for French women. Anyone who has to put up with French men is a saint in my eyes.
Electric Guest is a name soon to be ingrained in every indie-lover’s mind. The LA-based duo are produced by Danger Mouse, and headed to SXSW where they’re sure to impress the funky Austin crowd. There is nothing better than a catchy jam that calls for a little hip gyration and a few head bobs, and to be honest I could probably gush for a few paragraphs about my love for the Mayer Hawthorn-esque vocals… but I think I’ll let it speak for itself.
Madeline Follin sounds like a singer from the 50′s and those snappy drums in “You Know What I Mean” make it all the more. But Cults also throw in some electro haze, which give it a more newage vibe.
Favorite track of 2012, so far. Yea, we’re only a month in, but I find something fresh in this every.damn.time I listen to it. I’d confuse this for the original because of how good it is, but RAC gets so electro weird on it that it goes far beyond any original’s experimentation limit.
It’s good to have some downtempo, slightly tripped out beats back from Appo. I couldn’t pick anyone better to remix “Devil Woman” than him. A perfect tune to chill out to on this cold & blustery day.
A solid mix to give tribute to The Queen of Pop, Freddie Mercury, whose been gone for just over 20 years now. It’s a good run through some of Queen’s best, but I wish I could’ve seen more of that clear cut sampling Robin does best. Still, it’s good to get back to him with a quick ten minute mix.
