Just a few bits and pieces that have been amusing me lately. Firstly I’ve been hitting the disco wave hard recently and dusting off some of my old vinyls. I’ve got loads of cosmic oddities to share with you but I’ll save it for another post, or just upload a new mixtape, whatever comes first. Here’s a couple to wet your appetite.
Ladyhawke is about to drop her highly anticipated debut EP shortly through Modular which I’m extremely excited about. Remixes are slowly showing up for her next single ‘Dust till Dawn‘ which, in this case, has been sculptured by Linus Loves (Remember him?).
Miami Horror has been busy lately teaming up with non other than Fred Falke, remixing the likes of The Presets and touring the USA but he’s taking a different approach with his latest remix of ‘Totally Michael‘, a new signing to IHEARTCOMIX.
Finally I’ll leave you with a link to the teaser mix for the next Bang Gang double mixed cd compilation to be released on Modular in October/November, containing tracks by Cut Copy, Fred Falke, Surkin, A-Trak, Ghostface Killa, Pryda, M.I.A, Treasure Fingers, Kid Cudi, Beni, The Presets, Breakbot, Das Pop & Louis La Roche. 45 tracks in 10 minutes, it’s a rave in itself, Gurn away!!
The new kid on the Modular block is Ladyhawke aka Pip Brown and she is already creating a flutter around the world. Originating from New Zealand, she has traveled through Sydney and Melbourne and now resides in London where she continues to write dreamy synth-pop ballads drawing on influences such as Stevie Nicks and Van Halen (what a combo!). Ladyhawke already has a cult following which will soon explode into bigger things once her first single drops.
‘Back of the Van’ is the first official release from the half-bird half-lady songstress and will be out soon on Modular bundled with a massive collection of equally catchy remixes. Along with the Van She Tech remix, which we posted a couple of weeks back, the single also includes stellar remixes from the likes of Mock & Toof and Fred Falke!! Falke brings an added funk to the song, adding a huge slap bassline underneath her subtle vocal melodies. Pip also lends her sexy vocals to a track on Pnau’s latest album which could easily be mistaken for something straight out of the fluro era!
Keep an ear out for her next single ‘Paris is Burning’ which is set for release in June!
As my first post on the blog i thought i’d throw together a quick little live mix showcasing some current blog hits with a few older classics. I included some new Fred Falke tracks to celebrate his tour in April, one is his sexy remix for The Whitest Boy Alive, which seems to be taking everybodies fancy, including Knightlife, who played it as the last track in his set the other night. Also included is the highly anticipated new remix from Van She Tech for the incredible Ladyhawke, this is going to be a killer in the clubs, download it separately from the tracklist below!
