So the madness of the Christmas weekend is over and part of me is admittedly quite glad. As the chaos settles and we melt into that quite strange dimension between Xmas & New Year the real relaxation can begin. I intend on listening to a lot of music, eating a lot of food and watching a lot of shit tv as the days merge into a remarkable blur. Having said that, I'm going to shoehorn my arse off the sofa down to Spectra at Nice N Sleazy's tomorrow night and I think You should to. Anyway, here's my last offering of new tunes in 2010 and in some respects I've saved the best for last...
BLOG BURNER:
A late, but serious contender for remix of the year here. Swedish band Niki & The Dove provide the ethereal elements of an icy but ultimately empowering pop song while Phaeleh re-rubs it with a rather complimenting rave break. Vocals which are strikingly reminiscent of The Knife's Karin Dreijer pierce soft, uplifting synths creating an atmosphere comparable to Skream's essential remix of La Roux. This is big.
Niki & The Dove - Mother Protect (Phaeleh 'Ravebomb' Remix)
Oh how long I've waited for this to get leaked. Some have likened him to the new Joy Orbison, which is of course ridiculous seeing as Orbison isn't long out the gate but in the respect of forward thinking, underground producers showing massive potential the comparison is justified. This is Julio's forthcoming single and it demands your respect. Bubbling basslines and spiralling break downs will definitely wake up your dancefloor.
Julio Bashmore - Battle For The Middle You
IT WON'T GO AWAY. And we're not complaining, well, not yet anyway. Just when you thought 'Comacat' had stolen every conceivable inch of blog space available here comes Mark Knight with another fantastic remix. It's actually more of a re-edit then anything else, inverting the bassline and introducing a new piano section before the breakdown. One last gasp for tune of the year? Definitely.
Tensnake - Comacat (Mark Knight Korma Cat Remix)
And finally, something a bit strange to see in the new year. This new remix of Mustang from leaders of the new school Canblaster & Sam Tiba is exactly what we like to hear on this blog - finely tuned nonsense. Part dubstep, part underground shuffle and part Parisian electro, it's cosmic quality from two producers who have clearly grown bored of normality. Hit the link for a free download!
Mustang - Dick Reverse (Canblaster & Sam Tiba Remix)
