Tensnake busts out another great remix, swapping out the funky vibe of the Scissor Sisters "Any Which Way" original with ravey, old-school, handclappy goodness. Oh yeah.

GRUM. Check it out. GRUM will be coming stateside in October but regrettably nowhere close to Chicago or Seattle.
Passion Pit Sleepyhead (Grum Remix) by GRUM
Mad Decent just posted up this remix by Diplo and Lunice of Deerhunter's track "Helicopter." Can't say I listen to much Deerhunter (did like the last Atlas Sound record however) but I am enjoying this remix.

Nice video and track from Black Milk on his Album of the Year record. Directed by Anthony Garth, edited by Chris Chynoweth and filmed on Location in Detroit, MI. Great stuff.
Mayer Hawthorne and the County are making a return to Chicago with a show on October 27th at the Park West. Park West is probably my favorite Chicago venue and as everyone that reads this blog knows Mayer Hawthorne is one of our favorite artists. Get yourself some tickets here.

Can't get enough of this jam by Pablo Diaz-Riexa aka El Guincho. His latest record is getting some much deserved attention. This R&B styled track remains one of my favorites of the year. Take a listen if you haven't yet.

MTV 2010 "Memory Bank" from Anthony Scott Burns on Vimeo.
I kind of forget that there is ever anything cool on MTV but I ran across this very cool piece of visual art. Not sure if it plays here in the states. I wouldn't know I never watch MTV but seeing something like this makes me want to, except I know that I'll just throw it on and it will be a bunch of self-entitled materialistic white people living on the beach or in a city "dealing" with some type of meaningless issue that they feel is a crisis...Anyways really cool stuff by Mr. Anthony Scott Burns. Check out his other work.
As you know we are big fans of Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (T-E-E-D). Here is a new remix he did of Professor Green along with a Jessie Rose remix of the track "Garden" both we think are worthy of checking out.

Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble "Deliver the Word" feat Aloe Blacc from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson on Vimeo.
Really cool piece of footage from the recent Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble concert in LA. The video featuring Aloe Blacc pays respect to the late Keith Elam aka Guru with a rendition of "Betrayal." Link thanks to Spine Magazine.
All right, yeah, it's Wednesday. Half way to the weekend. I think we can all benefit from adding a bit of disco from Laberge and a fantastically dance able tune from Rayko to power us through the rest of the week. Oh, and you get this De La Soul remix because it's completely awesome.

Arguably the hardest remixing man in show business, Go Go Bizkitt, just posted a new remix of Miami Horror's "I Look to You". This remix has definitely got my head nodding, but of course the original is pretty incredible, too.
Miami Horror - I look to you (Go Go Bizkitt! Remix) by Go Go Bizkitt!
Our dude 10-4 Rog is back at it with his take on Mash Hall's Sleeping with a Ghost. Nice low-fi haunt to this one that is nothing like the original.

Chicago DJ, remixer and producer Bit Funk just released an outstanding remix of Grum's "Through the Night."
He has a bunch of great remixes but these ones stand out. Check them out. Love his edit of the Talking Heads' track "Girlfriend is Better." No upcoming shows or bookings according to his calendar which is a tragedy given his talent. Somebody book this dude.

Paris-based producer Lifelike uploaded his live DJ set from the Pacific Festival, which went down Sept. 4-5th in LA. It's definitely getting my Friday started right. The tracklisting is generously sprinkled with Daft Punk chunks and some Treasure Fingers flavor crystals--it's magically delicious.

The legendary Alan Braxe kills it again with a superb remix of a track from the new Jamiroquai album out in November, Rock Dust Light Star. Great stuff.
Analog Giant just had the privilege of getting two great music sets as exclusives from Red Bull Music Academy. RBMA has been making some nice improvements to their streaming player and their selection of talent is really incredible. Here are a couple new sets. One from the legendary master of jazz Herbie Hancock. The other from Philly based hip hop quartet Chiddy Bang. Eclectic pairing? Sure. But each is good in its own right. Check them out.

Probably one of the best tracks of 2010 Aloe Blacc's track "I Need A Dollar" just got a low-fidelity electronic vibe thanks to the ever talented Tensnake. Check it out.

Really loving this remix of Voodoo Chilli - "Love Songs" from His Majesty Andre. The man took a Ginsu to this thing--chopping, dicing, flipping and reversing with wreckless abandon. It's disco fabulous.

Gold Panda who is in the Nosaj Thing vein just put out a new track on his Soundcloud that is really nice. He has an ambient, downtempo sound that is perfect for the moment as I work on an essay for school late on a Friday. Yes I am obviously procrastinating here as I should be doing that rather than writing a post about Gold Panda. Hopefully my procrastination is your gain. Check out a couple tracks.

Stanton Warriors have been really active lately putting out two massive breakbeat/house remixes. Check out their edit of Major Lazer (better of the two imo) and Swedish House Mafia. For those that might not know Stanton Warriors is Mark Yardley and Dominic Butler of London.

Make sure you listen to his latest release Fishmarket 2 here.
Mp3 link: Charli 2na - "Go Gadget Go"
Chromeo just uploaded another remix of Don't Turn the Lights On, this time a Noise Invaders dub. I'm feelin' this squelchier, spaced out vibe. What do you think?

Originally from France, Amy Aubrac-Prince is cooking up tasty disco house in Toronto under the name of Teen. Sounds like she's even working on getting a live act on the road--definitely one to keep an eye on. I especially like this Body Heat track--it's got just a little squeeze of Daft Punk over it, right?

Those funky Italians of RESET! have released their new "My Trunk" EP on the Cheap Thrills label, and man, they punch it to 1.21 gigawatts right out of the gate. Layers of disco house slathered with funky bleeps and freaky beats...all baked into a buttery pie crust. Here, check out a few choice cuts from the EP:
Reset! - My Trunk - Original Mix by RESET!
Reset! - We're Dead - Original Mix by RESET!
Pick it up on Beatport here.
Really nice edit from AG favorite Onur Engin. This one of the magnificent Stevie Wonder. If you haven't you need to hear Mr. Engin's work its fantastic.
Stevie Wonder - Love Light In Flight (Edit) by Onur Engin
While its not new, its new to me. The music of Hannulelauri the Finnish duo (Lauri Soini & Dj Ender) who specializes in smooth balearic disco. Their Super Monkey EP came out this year. Check out a remix and a track off an earlier EP below.

Old remix of an old song...but I still love it. "Shooting Star" might be one of my favorite tracks ever. Kris Menace does his usual magic on this remix.

Some nice remixes collected from Soundcloud of one of my favorite duos Hall and Oats. Few tandems come close to the maganificance of these duo. Would love to hear about some equally great duos (Outkast, Marvin Gaye & Tami Terrell, Simon & Garfunkel?) but these two are up there in my opinion. Check out some remixes...

Camu Tao was a rapper and producer and part of the standout rap group Weathermen. His other projects included being a member of Central Services production team with El-P along with the MHz crew (Copywrite, RJD2, Jakki Tha MotaMouth and Tage Proto).
Tao sadly died on May 25, 2008, after a two-year battle with lung cancer, he was working on his first solo album for Definitive Jux at the time. King of Hearts is Tao's posthumous release, a long-awaited album, made up of demos and home recordings from this late underground rap fixture. It is out now on Definitive Jux as part of a collaboration with Fat Possum Records. Check out a track off the record. Rest in peace.
Washed Out - "Hold Out" from John Lipari on Vimeo.
New video from Washed Out featuring his track "Hold Out." Love this dude. He is on tour right now with Beach House so see if you can go see his live stuff.
