pleasing operators
Operator Please are heading out on tour! To help launch their second, all grown up album, they’re heading out on tour doing all the cap cities (well…most of them.)
You can check out tickets via the maamf posse page which is kinda cool. There’s also a killer remix of their first single Gloves doing the rounds by none other than Like Woah! (People thought Like Woah! had died and had morphed into Ted & Francis full time…but, no, they haven’t). Cheers to !tashed for the remix. Give those guys some blog love 🙂
Anyway, check out the dates below and make sure if you’re heading along, to grab tix through the maamf Posse store!
All the shows are going to be supported by the much loved Tim & Jean as well as Sydney kids Chaingang.

remix that #6
It’s been a while since i’ve posted some decent remixes. it’s also been a while since i’ve even done a post at all! the last week has been a bit of crazyness with an essay. basically i didn’t realise how time consuming it would be and yeah, it took me forever to finish. it’s done now though!!
Anyway, onto the remix’s. They’ve all been floating around for a while.
First up is BURNS. I’ve posted about this dude a few times now. The song is great. The remix kills it!
BURNS – In My Eyes (His Majesty Andre Remix)

Next up is a remix of Sweet Disposition…a track that many many many people love. I was hesitant at first, but this one is a grower. Different to the original!
The Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition (Alan Wilkis Remix)

Next up is a great track…and an even better remix of it. Local dude Beni has been doing his thing for a while. His solo stuff is sounding pretty fine! Props to some of the Bang Gang fellas for getting their grubby hands on this one.
Beni – Maximus (Andee & Ooh Ee’s Blue Version)

Finally, it’s Like Woah! from Sydney. Don’t really know much about these guys other than they’re featured on the new Bang Gang 12″ comp. More local fellas Ted & Francis (same guys/different name) take on remix duties on this one. Check it!
Like Woah! – I’m Looking At You (Ted and Francis Remix)

K. That’ll do the ramble for now.

ok. So if you follow us on Facebook, you might have noticed that a week ago, i said that i would repost some of the better tracks that haven’t gotten that much download love of late. I’m going to do a few of these. And they’ll be themed(ish). First is some of the early electronic stuff. Themed(ish) because there’s some breaks here as well as some vocal remix electro. But they’re all remixes though. I’m going to include the blog post as well as any band links, purchase links too. If you like, please support them in some way.
Anyway, without further ado, here are some of the better tracks that featured a few months ago on ze blogo.
Noah & The Whale – Blue Skies (The Twelves Remix)

Damn Arms – Destination (Ted & Francis Remix)

remix that #4
ok. so i haven’t done one of these in ages!! the only reason i’m putting one out there now is because I’ve found a few pretty mint remixes of late. They’re all pretty good tracks in my opinion. All pretty mint selections. Haha…mint. I never use that word. maybe this is the beginning of something??!!
haha…mmm…mints…yaeh…umm…this ain’t a food (or confectionery) blog.
The remixes are: (finally, i got there!)
First up, it’s a track by Noah & The Whale. They’ve got a new one called Blue Skies. It’s getting a fair few remixes from those in blog land. Perhaps the most prominent (and maybe the best) is one by Brazilian dudes, The Twelves.
Noah & The Whale – Blue Skies (Twelves Remix)
Another one out there is by those crazy artists YACHT. I came across this one first, and I must say, i think it’s pretty rad. Radical man.
Noah & The Whale – Blue Skies (YACHT Remix)
Another track that has been getting pretty massive lately is Shooting Stars by Bag Raiders. This track first appeared on the Turbo Love EP last year. They’re now set to release it as a single (read up on it here) with a few remixes to go along with it. One of those is by a bit of a legend, Kris Menace.
Bag Raiders – Shooting Stars (Kris Menace Remix)
ok. Last but not least, it’s Destination by Damn Arms. I’m really a bit pissed about these guys. They’ve called it a day and I only just discovered them. But, I’ve discovered that one half of Damn Arms is G.L.O.V.E.S. His remix of Changes by Van She is stella. Apparently G.L.O.V.E.S. is planning on doing more stuff, so that should be pretty exciting. Sameish as Damn Arms i hope. This remix is by Ted & Francis who are signed to Kitsune and are from Sydney. Local represent.
