The Teenagers

I actually wrote about these guys a while back, but it was a weak post. I'll give them proper credit right here right now. They do their own material, but they also venture into the remix realm. Their latest effort is a remix of The Bomb by New Young Pony Club, and it delivers as usual. I can't just post one track, so I am also including a remix of one their songs by Guns 'n Bombs (who are great by the way). Enjoy!

Shout Out Louds

This band has been around for sometime now, but I haven't mentioned them -- Shout Out Louds from Stockholm, Sweden. Currently, they are working on completing their long awaited second album with Bjšrn Yttling (Peter, Bjorn & John) at the helm. Their Combines EP came out back in '06, featuring a new single plus remixes of songs off the Howl Howl Gaff Gaff LP. I posted 2 tracks off the EP and a remix of The Comeback that I'm not sure who did it. There is a Tommy Sunshine remix out there (it's got to be it). If someone knows, please let me know! I wasn't going to post it, not knowing who remixed it, but it's too great a track!

Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid

Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet, and legendary drummer Steve Reid have finished
a wicked album of great depth. It sounds like nothing I can think of -- scattered, yet polished.
It's such a great collaboration! I've posted two mind wandering tracks:

The Sun Never Sets
Superheroes

KAVINSKY

Kavinsky is a zombie in need of revenge, killed when he crashed his Ferrari Testarossa in 1986. His records are the story of his first steps in the world of the living dead. Put this on while driving at night and he will let you live.

off his 1986 EP: Wayfarer

Cyann & Ben

Cyann and Ben, hailing from Paris, have been around for some time now; yet they still maintain to fly under the radar. Their music requires patience. It is dreamy. It is dark. It has a life of its own. Just let it unravel, swirl and crawl around you. And like a good bottle of wine, you must let it open up.

I've posted 2 tracks.

** the single of the latest release Sweet Beliefs: Sunny Morning
** a fave off 2004 release Happy Like an Autumn Tree: Obsessing and Screaming Voice in A Shell

rainy day in LA

It's been a wet, nasty and tranquil day...did a whole lot of nothing. But I did find
a song that emulated my day. Adem once played bass in a band called Fridge., with
Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet. Adem's folk-tronic album Love and Other Planets, came out
in 2006, but I feel it didn't get much recognition. It's a mellow, relaxing album,
the perfect companion for a rainy day such as today. I put up Launch Yourself,
a track from it, as well as its three remixes. Four Tet happens to be one of them.
And, if you like the songs check him out at Domino Records. Enjoy.

Launch Yourself (Four Tet remix)
Launch Yourself (Thomas Eriksen remix)
Launch Yourself (Hot Chip remix)
Launch Yourself (original)

these are all zshare links..if you all prefer sendspace, let me know.


also, if i get time tomorrow i might throw up another mix...check back.
