Remix Thursday: Justice 'Phantom II' Boys Noize remix

Can you remember in 2007 when Justice smashed onto the scene with their superb heavy electro joy! It was as though someone had suddenly given the stale dance scene a shot and told it to go home and think about what it had done wrong. We were back to great heavy electronic joy and Justice were our new French leaders of the revolution, they paved the way to German electro king Boys Noize who remixed their track Phantom II, give a listen to his results as its utterly brilliant!

Tuesday Track - Surfer Blood 'Swim'

Surfer Blood are great, they are young and full of superb tunes. Their album 'Astro Coast' is brilliant and definately worth listening to, I also think they are a great live band who are young and a breath of fresh air in the stale live circuit at the moment. So go ahead and check out their track 'Swim' below and let me know what you think!

Tuesday Track - Omar Souleyman 'Jani'

So this is going to be a bit different to the normal track that we have had appear in the past few weeks but it comes from a Syrian dude called Omar Souleyman who has released more than 500 cassettes in his homeland! The track is actually very heavily influenced by dance music and will surprise you.

THIS WILL NOT BE TO EVERYONES TASTE but its amazing live and worth checking out. Plus look at the dude he looks ace! I saw him at ATP and he was amazing!

Tuesday Track - Pavement 'Shady Lane'

Pavement have reformed and they are playing at the venue which graced them with their last performance just over 10 years ago. So for those of you that haven't yet dipped into the world of pavement I welcome you with open arms. This is a track called 'Shady Lane' which appeared on their album 'Brighten the Corners'. Its a pretty perfect introduction to the world of pavement, they have amazing songs with intricate lyrics and are truly great! How many people can include the lyrics "Tell me off in the hotel lobby right in front of all the bellboys and the over-friendly concierge"

Genius

Tuesday Track - Interpol 'Lights'

As many of you will know, Interpol are a band that are very close to my heart. I love their dark lyrics, their amazing guitar sounds and whatever people say I don't think they sound like Joy Division....well actually this track does definitely start a bit like Joy Division....anyways that's besides the point. This is the new track from Interpol available as a free download through their website and my blog!

Tuesday Track - Rolling Stones 'Plundered My Soul'

So it may seem strange that I'm still writing about Record Store Day, after all it happened a good 10 days ago. Last week I brought you Blur's new offering, this weeks its an unearthed single from the Rolling Stones. This was an outtake from the superb 'Exhile on Main Street' which I would highly reccomend to anyone wanting to get into the Stones. They are apparently going to repackage it to include this song so no need to fork out tons of money for the track just wait a few months and it will be yours.

Anyways enjoy......

Remix Thursday: Bynar 'Reflection of Puppets' Metallica vs NIN

I love a good remix and this one is top draw! It takes samples from Nine Inch Nails 'Survivalism', Duse 'Nackig', Sisters of Mixing 'New Cretia', The sisters of Mercy 'Lucretia my reflection' and the mighty Metallica 'Master of Puppets'.

Its an amazing creation what Bynar has come up with and definately worth a download and listen, you will find yourself loving the industrial grind which he has given the heavy metal monoliths. If you enjoy it make sure you check out Bynar's website

Now without further delay enjoy!
