Theater of War

I know what you're thinking...ANOTHER La Roux addition to the pulse? Well it just so happens that this dub-step rendition is so spicy I might sew my ears shut so the chorus can linger inside my head indefinitely. Humor me and press play.

La Roux - I'm Not Your Toy (Jack Beats Remix)


This contemporary Technologic blend will lift you and your speakers off the ground like a screaming eagle.

Human Contact - Love Rider (The Girls Can Hear Us Technologic Remix)


Umek & Beltek are an eastern european force to be reckoned with, a two person army that plays by its own rules. But between them both share one too many flags to salute.

Umek & Beltek - Is It? (Wippenberg Mix)

Reclusion Illusion

Broken Bells is a new project from Danger Mouse and James Mercer of the Shins. I have an inkling that "The High Road" is just the beginning for this this melodic and experimental collaboration capable of fleshing out some real hits in the future.Lucky for us, their original music is just as good as the many remixes they both lay claim to.

Broken Balls - The High Road


This lethal combination of chillout and lo-fi creates a mesmerizing hypnotic sound lulling you into a relaxed and vulnerable state. If you want something to throw on when you're crashing, drinking, or even staying up to do a ton of work, don't hit skip on this one ... Punk.
 
Daft Punk - Emotion 
 

So what does gangsta rap and a minimalist ethereal rock band have in common? Almost nothing but this mash up in particular bridges that gap by reshaping their musical designs and fashioning new memories out of old ones. Iceland's Sigur Ros feeds into a verse by one of hip-hop's most revered tracks of the 1990s - Shook Ones (Pt. II).

Sigur Ros Vs. Mobb Deep - Shook (Emancipator Mix)


Finally, emotionally driven synths and strings build up with chopped vocals pushing against the melody until it eventually drops with an explosion of lyrical dynamism.

Radiohead - Idioteque

School of Laissez-Faire

I never find the time to post all the good stuff that comes in and out of my ears. It's actually sad this library has become a modern Ellis Island of sorts. Sometimes there is no better way to look forward than to go back. Such is the case for some of these next four who have been idling on life support simply because no one could pull the plug. But, their full force reawakening begins today and I can't let you guys miss out on them (that is if you haven't leeched them from other blogs already). So if you're looking for some top-drawer music that's dirty, punchy, and so fused with ingenuity that you're not even sure what's starring back at you, look no further.

Get Stellar - The Moment (Def Starr Remix)


Metric - Collect Call (Tom Wrecks Remix)

Gui Boratto - Beautiful Life
