it’s been quite some time since we’ve done a post about crimewave now, hasn’t it? this morning i woke up to find two remixes sitting in my inbox. to my surprise, these are both fairly decent.

crystal castles – crimewave (kilowatt remix)

kilowatt is the alias of new york’s dj & promoter microprobes. he has sent in his take of crimewave with melodious synths and a strong distorted analog synth. however, although melodious, it tends to not go anywhere. i wouldn’t say this is the best crimewave remix out there because it definitely lacks variety. kilowatt’s got some production skills that will probably get lots of attention in the near future.

anyway, he will be hitting up genre, dance, avenue, and a few other locations this week. so all you los angeles kids, if you’ve got time, go check his set out. i might be hitting up dance tomorrow to check out his set. 5 splendas.

this remix alongside the la riots one takes the cake. it’s simply dark, mysterious, melodious, and still maintains a strong club banger. listen for yourself!

beautiful lyrics written by and originally by HEALTH. crystal castles released crimewave as a “vs” track but evidently was just a rework of the vocals. anyway, it’s a great track and now la riots have come back to IPT to add another one of their sugar-coated remixes to the table. it’s well produced and has a great hook but the portamentos and octave-quarter notes are so overdone by mstrkrft & la riots themselves. recall that kylie minogue wow remix by mstrkrft? or la riots take on hearts revolution’s switchblade?
nevertheless, this will get people on the dancefloor and gives this track a great dancefloor treatment; i believe la riots has more in them. six splendas for this club banger. where did you hear it first?

hysteric ego

hysteric ego vs the hoxton whores

the hoxton whores are a progressive house duo who have released several independent releases through their own distribution label (sort of what pre’goo’look’n records is all about). known mainly for their remix of red hot chili peppers, they have released a few original songs and now hysteric ego have created a mini remix (commonly artist vs artist format in the uk) of the song and let me tell you, the result is delicious! seven splendas!

klaxons/justice

1. klaxons – as above so below (justice remix)
this has been the thought behind everyone’s head. when is justice remixing the indie dance bands? well i’m glad they finally decided to remix klaxons because it’s definitely satisfying.

2. daft punk – television rules the nation/around the world/harder, better, faster, stronger (alive 2007 radio edit)
althought we’ve all see the videos and downloaded the leaks from every festival, none have come close to the quality in this track. i hope you guys are satisfied! this is no where near a dissapointment. i am so glad i was able to see daft punk in july at the sports arena. this song brings back great memories. their live shows are inexplainable because the continuous freedom of effects and midi control gives them the ability to combine songs by simply changing the pitches of the vocoded melodies and even adding new synth lines and such.
