Harris Robotis - Beat on the Street (Bag Raiders Row Harder Remix) thanks Waves at Night

yeah...

gemma ward. hottest girl.

in other news here are some newish remixes for apparat.. very lush and nice tracks again (seems like some kind of blouse theme..)
echo-ey, hauntey vocals accompany some nice electro-ey synths in both remixes... very nice and chilled. i must admit that i expected a bit of variation with these remixes (and remixes in general) but they are both quite similar (in a lush and nice way).
for some reason both remixes were over 7 minutes long (the boyz noize one is over 12 mins).. must be to increase the epicness of the tracks. thankfully Telefon Tel Aviv also edited their track to be more bandwidth/radio friendly..

Apparat - Arcadia (Telefon Tel Aviv Remix Short Edit)

Apparat - Arcadia (Boyz Noize Remix)

i really like the diverse beats that boyz noize are coming out with recently.. i reckon the talented artists can be seen through the variety of tracks that they release.. two diverse thumbs up to boyz noize

californian lad danosaur recently sent a couple of his remixes our way as well..

The Tings Tings - Shut Up And Let Me Go! (Danosaur Let Me Remix)

WifeBeat - Eurotrash (Danosaur Moves That Ass & Turns It Up edit)

i have to admit that i dont really know all that much about him but i do know that he is an upcoming champion of self promo.. haha
but seriously his remixes are pretty f'ing rad.. i especially love his edit of wifebeat (aka neon blak)'s eurotrash.. sort of chops and changes that annoying electronic vocal line to actually make it sound cool.. (in his own words he: "teased it out a bit and really worked the drums, synth and vocals.")
the Ting Tings remix is pretty cool too, but desperately needed a stronger, more emphatic key change or bassline something in there somewhere.. nonetheless, a cool stop/start sort of affair definitely worth a listen. am definitely interested to see what mr danosaur somes up with in the coming months..

ice day

ok time for a chill post.. i know its thurs and i should be listening to bangerzz (and in the last 30 mins and after 3 beers i have been) but today def feels like a chill day.. (or maybe that spiel was merely segue into my posting some wicked chilled beats ive been listening to recently..)

i got my hands on the new goldfrapp album, 'seventh tree' earlier this week and have been blasting.. or quietly playing it ever since. it seriously is amazing..
its not as sassy or upbeat as the other goldfrapp music that ive heard in the past but it sure is good.
the album as a whole is still quite playful (as is the goldfrapp way) but has a large amount of majestic-ness added to it, thanks mostly to the classy strings and ambience that they have added.
classy is actually the best word to describe this new album.. either that or some word like relaxing that conveys more..
chilltastic? relaxabulous? chillaxastion? (my status on facebook and msn was 'steve has been falling asleep in the besst possible way" for the whole week..)

Goldfrapp - Clowns

Goldfrapp - Little Bird

to accompany these chilled beats are more chilled beats.. i know it seems very obvious that listening to chilled music all day makes you relaxed but jeeezz.. feeling pretty relaxed at the mo'.. would rather be chilled like this then all pent up like iam after a day of bangers.

The Tings Tings - Shut Up and Let Me Go (Classixx Remixx) thanks to palms out

Sam Sparro - Sally (Soul Warriors Remix

Alan Braxe - Penthouse Serenade

plus- a late addition

Rubies - I Feel Electric (feat Feist) (Tie Dye Version)

AMAZING- one of the best chilled songs ive heard for ages- totally debilitating.

and, as a bonusbonusbonus here is a track that has been on high rotation for me ever since i heard it for the first time on the cut copy fabriclive.. for some reason the simplicity in the relationship between guitar and bass really gets me off... ooo yeaa..
even if you dont like the whole track- its worth listening to for the when the bass first kicks

The Faint - Your Retro Career Melted (Ursula 1000 Remix)
