Despite already featuring them on the site twice, I haven’t given Desire a proper introduction yet. To be honest I wasn’t even planning to but it only seems appropriate now that they make their third appearance (albeit with the help of some guest stars).
Hailing from Montreal, Canada, Desire consists of Megan, Johnny and Natty. Befitting [...]
It’s Saturday night and I’m bored out of my skull, so why not actually something somewhat productive, like, update my blog?
Despite what many fellow music bloggers may think of her, I actually like Amanda Blank. And I like YATCHT even more thanks to their latest album. So when Dave Wrangler decided to mix the two [...]

The original version of O’Spada’s “Time” that I posted a while ago has been given an extensive make-over, as the band recently held a competition for people to remix it and potentially end up on the official single that is due out this week on iTunes.
The winner has now been crowed and it’s the “Suck [...]

Enchanting duo Magic Wands‘ EP Magic Love & Dreams is out this week (read my full review here) and while I was slightly disappointed with the low offering of new material on it, we now at least have a new remix to sink our teeth into. The equally enchanting Sean over at Battery In Your [...]
I’ll admit to not being very fond of Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ latest album It’s Blitz!. Compared to their other stuff it feels vapid and empty. I was hoping they’d continue in the same vein as their Is Is EP. This remix of “Heads Will Roll” from mentioned album is however really good. Not that it [...]
Another cover and this time it’s Josh Reichmann Oracle Band who has taken on the gorgeous song “Daniel”, originally by Bat For Lashes.
While it’s easy to argue that the original is perfect as it is (which it is), Reichmann’s stripped down folk version is good in its own right. This isn’t the first cover he [...]
Yes, I know; we all heard Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” to death by now. But this mash-up with Eurythmics’ classic hit “Sweet Dreams” by Divide & Kreate is indeed pretty sweet.
Something fun for the weekend. Enjoy!
~ “Dance Dreams” ~
There really isn’t much to say about Bat For Lashes‘ sophomore album other than that it’s really, really good. Great even. There - shortest review ever. Fine, I’ll try to elaborate a bit more than that.
Two Suns has made me convinced what the debut Fur and Gold made many think, that Bat For Lashes (real name Natasha [...]
Max Justus continues being awesome by remixing another seven tracks of 808s & Heartbreak, the not so well received 2008 album by Kanye West. Previously Justus remixed the song “Street Lights” of said album, turning it into a slick dance tune.
Now he given the same treatment to a additional seven tracks by intensifying the already present electronic patterns and adding his own [...]
Why yes, it’s another remix! (i.e. a slacker post)

Would love to know where Tara got the vocal file from. Any clues, I would be eternally grateful. By the way, like this grimey version, its one of the better remixes of this iconic track. x

I think you need to change the title, it’s Tara “Busch”. Very big in the Los Angeles, New York and London electronic scene and signed to the Legendary Tummy Touch Records. This mix is awesome and i agree that it lets Natasha’s voice breathe. Get google searching for the right name and and get with the kids
– great find!

Thanks! I actually saw that name and wondered if that was the correct one but decided to trust the EMI guy who sent me the remix. I’ve learned my lesson!

Awesome post girl, you look to young know the electronic scene….
This is what a remix should be like. Best one by far. It’s different enough to the original, yet is not yet another cut & paste remix you get from the usual suspects.
