Happy 4th of July! What? I made a post for the 4th of July but not Canada day? Blasphemy! No, I was out celebrating on Canada day (or in sleeping), no time to post! Anyways, a quick post before you go out and celebrate, here are some tracks to listen to. First off, I'm sure you've seen this track floating around for a while, N.A.S.A.'s Strange Enough along with various remixes. This remix by Mr. Oizo may be the first of the track I really liked. It's slightly awkward in a good way. Second is a great remix by Sidechains of Booty Luv. Despite the name of the track and artist, it isn't as club as I think you think it is. And lastly completely on a different spectrum, the Sebastien Tellier remix of Phoenix's Long Distance Call. I love the original, it's from their third album. Conversely, this remix actually slows the track down a bit giving a very "Beirut" feel to it.

First off, I missed it so a belated happy Canada Day to all you Canadians. I never seem to get around to making personal posts like wishing a happy birthday of your nation or commenting on recent news, which has been over-killed anyways. That's what Twitter is for anyways, mindless dabble. I won't be posting any Michael Jackson tracks any time soon. I love his music, but you can dust off your Thriller vinyl and listen to it yourself. It's the best way anyways. It's the only way.

Just in case you missed it, La Roux's debut album came out this week. We'll start off with Martin Solveig's new single Boys & Girls featuring Dragonette. I was a little sad that I haven't really heard anything from Dragonette since Galore, but alas here she is! They also have a new album Fixin to Thrill coming out fall this year. Track from Silence Killer, make sure you check out the video. I thought I already posted this, but I guess not, The Knocks remix of Passion Pit. Love the guitar note in this track. And lastly, quite the chill Mighty Mouse remix of Netsayi.

Alright, two artists to start off the week. First off is We Plants Are Happy Plants with Apollo from his forthcoming album Twilight of the Dawn. He's a one man show out of Budapest. The track is interesting to say the least, it's quite elegant in a melodic narrative fashion. It starts off with dialogue from The Man from Earth which really sets the tone for the rest of the song; philosophically high? I basically listened to this track for a whole day last week, had a lot of images and thoughts that went through my head. Binary described this track the best. I saw lots of images of space though, like a scene out of 2001: A Space Odyssey. I need more music like this.

Second is Discovery, which includes the keyboardist from Vampire Weekend Rostam Batmanglij and the lead singer of Ra Ra Riot Wes Miles. I included the track So Insane from their debut album LP which will be released early July. I always liked Ra Ra Riot, this actually mixes the two pretty well.

Date Released: June 12, 2009
Album Genre: Electro, Techno
Album Rating: 7/10
Sounds Like: Bag Raiders, Muscles, MSTRKRFT

This is a remix album by Van She Technologic, an offshoot of the original band Van She, of tracks from their debut album V. What can I say? We've been waiting for this. I remember when I first found out about Van She Tech, I was so excited that I bought V only to find out that they didn't really have an electronic past. So this is quite refreshing from what I thought I was getting the first time. Not to mention that the naming is almost as confusing as Soulwax's ensemble of different names they use. I enjoyed this remix album, it had various feels of the electro genre. Obviously heard some Aussie electro in here, but I also recognized something almost like French house with the track It Could Be The Same and like MSTRKRFT in Techno Music. The last track Virgin Suicide being very Shoegaze. Loved the contrast from this album, usually whenever I listen to a synth-based album or artist, it tends to sound relatively the same.

Old song, new remix of The Bravery by Super Discount. Reminds me of back in high school when I liked The Bravery. Absolutely loving the beat in this track, if only we could harness it and put it in other tracks. Hint. Another Passion Pit remix, although I enjoyed this one a lot. It's interesting to say the least, I'm quite curious about Miike Snow now. And lastly, the dAi and MMMatthias remix of The Gossip's 8th Wonder. Interesting intro, once you get into the track it gets pretty club. I had the week update for you now because I have a little surprise for you tomorrow. I like it at least, although it's a bit more than a week old. I'll give you a hint, it's Australian.

One of the better Daft Punk remixes I've heard, by Night Drugs who I don't think I've heard of before. It's got a great sound, even better completely different from the original but it works for the track. How refreshing, it vaguely reminds me of the Lifelike or Moulinex type sound. Second track is the Yuksek and Brodinski remix of Peaches' Lose You sounding like something right out of a 007 game, Goldeneye to be specific. It's slightly quieter than the other tracks, I can't really see anyone going wild dancing to this track. And lastly, the Juxx remix of Private's My Secret Lover. Let the track play out a bit. Just a mention, I won't be posting this track, but check it out. Doesn't it Flosstradamus remix sound slightly like Basement Jaxx? Cause I love it, it's like a Matt & Kim and Basement Jaxx mash-up.

A mixtape for you guys. One of my favorite remix producers MMMatthias has finally come out with a mix for the month. I'm a week late on posting this, then again I haven't posted in a week. An overall very dirty electro sound coming from this mix, I absolutely loved the intro. It's very creepy and epic like Justice's, except it's not Justice this time. That's right, this is a Justice free mix. There's actually a nice mix between French house and what I'm assuming is German techno in this mix.

So the first track is DatA's Blood Theme. It's the last track from their recently released album Skywriter which you can get at Ekleroshock. Make sure you check it out. I'm a huge fan of French house so, I guess I'm easily swooned by this kind of music. Second is the third track, the Shadow Dancer remix of Zombie Nation, neither of which I've heard of. German techno? And lastly, the Vitalic remix of Birdy Nam Nam, once again French house.

1. DatA - Blood Theme
2. Overthrill - Rox
3. Zombie Nation - Mystery Meat Affair(Shadow Dancer Remix)
4. Hey Today - If I was Wonderman(Bobmo Remix)
5. Boys Noize - Jeffer
6. Burns - Turbo(Jokers of the Scene Remix)
7. The Faint - Machine in the Ghost (Djedjotronic Remix)
8. Birdy Nam Nam - The Parachute Ending (Vitalic Remix)
9. Moderat - Les Grandes Marches (MMMatthias Remix)
10.Fukkk Offf - Love me, Hate me, Kiss me, Kill me

MMMatthias - MMMix June 09

I already kind of posted an update on Wednesday, but I'm currently on catch-up mode. I haven't posted mixes in a while now, I'm going through a couple for the first time in a while. Hopefully next week will be filled with mixes. It takes a long time to listen to a whole mix! Starting off the end of the week with the Sonic Truth remix of The Faint. You can check out more of their tracks at PARTYCMYK. A very interesting cover by The Twelves of Daft Punk's Nightvision. It's very Twelves anyways, of a song that people usually skip over. And lastly, a new FUKKK OFFF track for those of you clubbers. Dylan, remix this. :D

Continuing on with some tracks from this week. The Three Fingers remix of Calvin Harris, just a heads up it's very club. For all of you who like that, woo! And lastly, once again one of the chillest electro tracks from Jacques Lu Cont of Sneaky Sound System. I love the laissez-faire sound to electro he takes and the track is almost 8 minutes long.

I finally got a chance to go through my inbox and chose the top three tracks for the last week or so. I guess I lose the ability to blog when I'm traveling. First is the Buffetlibre remix of Patrick Wolf, the Spaniards who brought us those wonderful Rewind mixtapes. I had no idea they were getting into producing remixes as well, this is great, wish it was longer. It's got a great retro sound to it, especially after the intro. Second track is the Death to the Throne remix of the Lykke Li cover of Kings of Leon's Knocked Up. I'm going to have to check out that cover. And lastly, the Tits & Clits remix of Martin Solveig, someone I've inadvertently ignored quite a bit on this blog. Not anymore!
