Do You Believe in Magick?

Here are a few different tracks I've been feeling lately. Some are old, some are new, but all of them are good. I promise.

The first track is a remix of an AIR song called, "Don't Be Light." The edit was done by Thomas Bangalter, one half of the legendary DAFT PUNK. The track in itself is very unlike Daft Punk; a little less punchy with ambient textures littered all over it. The piercing strings and guitar solo are a rad touch. Yes rad.

The next track is a remix of an older Franz Ferdinand song done by your favorite French dirty electro act- JUSTICE. This track is laden with heavy rock drums over chopped up vocal clips, a vocoder sample and Justice's very unique dirty bass sound.

The next song is the only original song of the five. It's called, "Give Me Every Little Thing," and its done by JUAN MACLEAN of James Murphy's DFA records. The song has a very epic, synthy feel to it and a nice driving bass line that really gets the blood flowing. I recommend checking out the full album if you dig this track. Very reminiscent of LCD and their disco punk style.

One act that I have been digging a lot lately is the reincarnation of Simian as SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO. I know I might be horrendously behind on that discovery but whatever. The boys in SMD do a remix of, "Magick" by the Klaxons. This one has the same chopped up vocal effect, but with more of a driving bass sound. The guys in SMD really know how to tear up a synth.

The last track is a real doosie. It's a remix of SNOWDEN's, "Black Eyes" done by DJ Castle VANIA from Atlanta, Georgia. I saw him spin after a MOVING UNITS show at the Echoplex last month and it was amazing. I think the remix blows the original out of the water with is catchy disco groove and cool robot vocal effect on the chorus.
