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.

K. That’ll do the ramble for now.
new music first #6
ok. I realised I’ve been a bit slack with the new music posts. So, here is one right now. Simple.
I’m really excited about this post because I don’t know if I’ve loved every track as much before.
First up is a local band, The Middle East. Yes, you read right. Local Band. They’ve got a track called Blood. It’s one of those tracks that just sorta builds and build and makes you feel so happy towards the end.
The Middle East – Blood
Next up is another local band. I spoke about these guys a few weeks ago. They’ve got an album called Ragged & Ecstatic coming out in a few days. It is of course Yves Klein Blue.
Yves Klein Blue – Make Up Your Mind
(more deets on their website)
Third on the list is a band I spoke about a while ago as well. It’s YACHT. They’ve got an album coming out soon (It’s being released through DFA in the States next month. Nor sure about a release date for Australia though.
YACHT – The Afterlife
(can’t find a link online for the album, but you should check out the DFA webstore for more detailios)
Finally, it’s Dananananaykroyd. These guys are a band I’d always heard of but never actually heard any of their tracks. And man. What a fool I was! These guys are great. If you like that indie pop with the kinda yelling vocals then Dananananaykroyd are definately worth a check out.
Dananananaykroyd – Black Wax

k. So that’s about it. They’re all really great tracks and it’s posts like these that make me love writing a music blog!
K. That’ll do the ramble for now.
New Music First #5
busy busy but free free
ok. so I’ve been a little non comital lately. I got exams on next week and i’m trying to study study study for them. There’s only two, and I’m not absolutely freaking out. But, give me time and I will I’m sure! Haha…anyway, just to keep the momentum up I thought i’d put up a post with a few tracks that i’m listening to of late. They’re all awesome of course. Hehe. Anyway, better get to it. Field independence and field dependence is calling me. oh dear.
First up is a track by a band called Hey Champ. They’re out of the states and if it wasn’t for MSotD, I don’t think I would’ve found out about them. They pretty cool indie dance stuff. But actual songs, not just a cool beat and some funky synth. Check it out here:
Hey Champ! – Cold Dust Girl
Secondo on the listeo is another band from the states. YACHT. They’re pretty good. I actually thought these guys were Australian – got that kinda sound, and I always seem to see their name on posters around the city. Anyway, great track.
YACHT – Psychic City
Third on the list is the new Jay-Z track. I don’t usually get into this sort of stuff but after NME posted it up, I thought i’d give it a listen. Is a great track too! Great sample.
Jay-Z – D.O.A (Death Of Autotune)
Next up is a tune that’s been doing the rounds for a while. It’s by a Brisbane based band called Yves Klein Blue. They are awesome. If you like what you hear, you should definately check them out!
Yves Klein Blue – Polka
So that’s it. I better get back to the study. Fun fun fun.
K. That’ll do the ramble for now.
