In most cases, remixes can be vile creatures. But thats not the case fot all of them, oh no. One only has to look at Jon Hopkins remix of Wild Beasts' "Two Dancers" , or more recently, the Jensen Sportag re-jig of Memory Tapes "Wait In The Dark" to see how to to execute them properly. continue reading >>

You see it in the Hawaiian shirts they sport and the tropical brand of pop they wrap their songs up in: Fixers go to clubs and lose their shit to house music. Beat Connection only has to quietly re-inforce this with a remix of ‘ Swimmhaus Johannesburg ’, creating five-and-a-half-minutes of unadulterated, serotonin-releasing rush. [ JM ] Fixers - Swimmhaus Johannesburg (Beat Connection Remix) by Lost Lost Lost

Två ganska nya men fullt lika kära NMB-favoriter, Fixers och Beat Connection , har parats ihop för ett remix-samarbete. Här har de senare framgångsrikt adderat sina karaktäristiska disco-house-vibbar till ett redan dansant original , och resultatet går att betrakta nedan Fixers - Swimmhaus Johannesburg (Beat Connection remix)
It's almost hard to believe that it is summer here in northern California and the Pacific Northwest, because it has been unusually cool, and even rained (which almost never happens in the Bay Area during summer). One of the best things about summer is taking trips to the beach. We're blessed with being only a [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
It's almost hard to believe that it is summer here in northern California and the Pacific Northwest over the past week. But the unusually cooler temperatures, and even rain (which is almost non-existent in California in summer). Nevertheless, the rest of the country is enjoying the summer, and it'll soon be returning to these parts. [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Just a little while back, Seattle-based duo Beat Connection released their debut single on UK imprint Tender Age in the form of 'In The Water'. It was backed more than ably by b-side 'Balearic Trunk Rhythm' and not a moment too soon (given the fleeting delight of British sunshine piercing our so far unfazed retinas), it's steel-drum splashing electronic pop delight has appeared online to stream. With a far more straight-down-the-line hedonistic beat coursing through it than its parent track, 'Balearic Trunk Rhythm' finds the north-western Americans habituating more on an island filled with wanton levels of sun-drenched [...]
I don't usually start off summer longing for the end of it, but Starfucker and Beat Connection?! Together?!?! For a whole month?!?! News of this tour has me in apoplexy. Whoever booked this deserves a hundred gold stars.

Para que no haya favoritismos no dejaré a chocolate fuera de este juego. Ahora me meto en su piel con otro de mis hipotéticos post. ¿Podría pasar esta canción por una de las suyas?. Opino que si, aun me falta saber la opinión de los suplantados. Te dejo a Beat Connection remezclando a los unknown Painted Palms (más chillwave? no, gracias). * Nota: No, no tengo ningún trastorno de personalidad. Si, la soledad es muy mala. ¿Cuándo volverán los demás sabores? [...]

Here's a band that have taken us on a bumpy ride in recent months. Last November Get People released their début double A-sided single, the Careless/Odyssey EP. It earned them plenty of coverage online with a multitude of useful blogs pointing their pages enthusiastically in their direction. It certainly got them under our virtual noses, but due to the light, fluffy nature of both tracks it actually turned out to be more a case of getting under our skin, so we held off from a bit of Recommender coverage until we'd seen more evidence of life [...]
