So the all conquering Kitsune label is to release Vol. 4 of its 'Maison' compilation series on 11th June. Like the classic previous compilations, it's a mixture of pop bombs old and new.... and is of course an essential purchase.
Stand out tracks for me are the Boys Noize mix of Feist, and the Hadouken! track... which I meant to post up some time ago (but didn't). I'm sure these can be easily found on t'interweb if you so desire, so I'll just post up the promo mix for the album, which will hopefully act as a tantalising aperitif for the main banquet.
KITSUNE MAISON VOL. 4 - PROMO MIX
Tracklisting:
Thieves Like Us - Drugs In My Body
Dragonette - I Get Around (Midnight Juggernauts remix)
Phones - Worryin'
Crystal Castles – Knights (Demo Version)
The Whip - Divebomb (short edit)
Riot In Belgium - La Musique (Adam Sky mix)
Hadouken ! - Tuning In (H! re- rub)
Feist - My Moon My Man (Boys Noize Classic mix)
Guns N' Bombs - Crossover Appeal (radio edit)
Passions - Emergency (radio edit)
Numéro# - Hit Pop
Hummer - Foals
Punks Jump Up - Dance To Our Disco
Darkel - Be My Friend
It seems that as is customary, almost all of these tracks either have been or will be released as singles... and forthcoming sometime soon is the excellent 'Divebomb' by The Whip.
The single comes backed with a cracking remix by Crystal Castles, who filter the track through their Vic 20 blender to create a gloriously bouncy combination of squelching bass and an 8-bit vocal loop.
THE WHIP - DIVEBOMB (CRYSTAL CASTLES REMIX)
11th June also sees the release of Digitalism's debut album 'Idealistic'. I also have a kind of promo mix for this, but it's not quite so smoothly mixed... being just a quick blast of each track loosely joined together. It'll give a quick taster though....
DIGITALISM - IDEALISTIC PROMO MIX
Tracklisting:
Magnets
Zdarlight
I Want I Want
Idealistic
Digitalism In Cairo
Departure From Cairo
Pogo
Moonlight
Anything New
The Pulse
Homezone
Apollo-Gize
Jupiter Approach
Jupiter Room
Echoes
If you've not seen the rather impressive video for 'Pogo'... here it is.
And you want more Digitalism? Well here's another mix I received of all(?) Digitalism's remixes.
DIGITALISM - REMIXES MIX
Tracklisting:
TIGA - Far From Home (Digitalism Remix) / PIAS
TOM VEK - Nothing But Green Lights (Digitalism Remix) / KitsunÈ
THE PRESETS - Down Down Down (Digitalism Remix) / Modular
MUNK - Disco Clown (Digitalism Remix) / Gomma
THE FUTUREHEADS - Skip To The End (Digitalism Remix) / 679 Rec
DEPECHE MODE - Never Let Me Down Again (Digitalism Remix) / Mute
KLAXONS - Atlantis To Interzone (Digitalism R-r-remix) / KitsunÈ
In lieu of an mp3 from the Digitalism album, i'll post up a track from another single on Kitsune by Jence. Who is in fact one half of Digitalism. It's out now and it's noisy.
JENCE - WIRED
Still with Kitsune, here's an unreleased mix of Klaxons' 'Gravity's Rainbow'. Is there anyone left who's not remixed this? Well once again this is a pretty damn excellent weapon for yer dancefloor. Although to be honest i'm still of the opinion that the Nightmoves version from the original Kitsune 12" is the best.
KLAXONS - GRAVITY'S RAINBOW (GUNS 'N' BOMBS FREAKOUT MIX)
This is turning into a bit of a marathon post, however i'll just leave you with some more ripe Gallic Camembert. I wrote about Naive New Beaters quite a while back, but they're now back with a jacking new single, 'Bang Bang'.
It comes backed with remixes from Yuksek and Ajax (from Bang Gang), however here's the original version.... some filthy sounding beats with a French dude rapping on top. It's undeniably funk filled, although in a boy scrum way rather than a bump and grind seduction fashion!
Single of the, er, day! Once again, France wins.
NAIVE NEW BEATERS - BANG BANG
