New O’Spada Remix, Video

I don’t claim to stay on top of what O’Spada are up to, but I do think they’re pretty good and I gotta support my fellow Swedes, right?

This time it’s a remix of the track “Ten Strikes” done by French producer DAZE, as well as a video of the original version of the song done by “two Englishmen using old stock footage and stop motion animation to create a very surrealistic experience.” Yeah, you be the judge of that.

Personally I think the DAZE remix is much sharper than the original. O’Spada in general seem to go for a sort of late 80’s dance sound that sounded old even back then, but it still has a nostalgic value.

O’Spada’s next single “Pay Off” is due in February and the album (with the same name) will be out sometime before summer.

O’Spada Remix Competition Winners

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 Shaft RMX” that nabbed the number one spot. I got sent a bunch of the other remixes to share as well, but really only liked the winner and two others so those are the ones I uploaded. So there.

O’Spada – “Time”

Swedish O’Spada makes sparkling dance music, and if the song “Time” is anything to go by they have thick layer of 80s flavour sprinkled on top of their sound. The label describes them as “a bastard child between Prince, Jackson 5 and Justice” so I guess I’m not completely wrong in my observation. The band took their name after lead singer Julia Spada, and as you can see on their MySpace they have been cute and all added an “O’” to their first names. “Time” is their first single from the up-coming debut album which will be released in no less than 15 countries later this year.
