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 [...]

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 [...]

It wasn’t just my friend Keath who was surprised when I said that I love Amanda Blank’s debut album – I surprised myself! Any kind of hip hop usually goes straight over my head but Amanda’s added mixture of electronica and catchy hooks won me over.
It wasn’t immediate though; the first proper listen of I [...]

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 [...]
Why yes, it’s another remix! (i.e. a slacker post)
Bat For Lashes‘ beautiful single “Daniel” has once again gotten a make-over, this time by a lady called Tara Busch. (I’m assuming it’s not the wrestler or nude model that pops up in Google search)
Like the Josh Reichman cover I posted recently it doesn’t beat the original [...]
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 [...]
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” ~
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 [...]

I like Amanda too.
I’m sorry you’re bored.
You should come over.
Really.

Lol!

I don’t like Amanda.
I don’t like being bored.
Beware of stalkers.
No really.

Like stalking.
Really.
