![Best of 2011: Remixes [Top 11]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3935162_lg.jpg)
Looks like 2011 is almost coming to an end. Looks like various sites have been doing their Best of 2011 list. I still haven't finished compiling my list of singles and albums that came out in 2011. But for now, here is my Top 11 list of the best remixes. This is the first time I've done this. Hope you like it. Adele - Rolling In the Deep (Jamie xx Shuffle) [...]
It may be Thursday, but this morning's been all about The Whendays , aka Serge and Simon from Stockholm. A pre-baked alliteration if ever there were one, their sound is not so much piping hot as glacially chilled, Untru Love II the sort of steely retrograde funk flow that Gwilym Gold et al. really ought to have been churning out under that Golden Silvers moniker of theirs. Still lodged somewhere in eras past, or indeed floating about in a timeless void with the head of Bradford Cox, The Whendays emit the sort of clammy, sultry soulfulness capable of ameliorating [...]
photos by Amanda Hatfield Raphaelle Standell-Preston of Braids/Blue Hawaii @ MHoW Like she was when in February , Canada's Raphaelle Standell-Preston was fighting a cold when she returned to NYC to play the BrooklynVegan CMJ showcase at Music Hall of Williamsburg on Friday night (10/21). That didn't stop her from performing at the show twice though! Her electronic and atmospheric duo project Blue Hawaii bravely opened the show [...]
The Recommender is lucky enough to get invited onto a range of radio stations to commentate on new music. The Tony Marks Show at Juice FM – the largest local station in our home city of Brighton – allows us a regular monthly visit into the studio to have a natter about what's happening on our horizon. Below we list the last two shows from September and October. We always take in a couple of tracks for Tony and September had us delivering two bands from our home city of Brighton, Curxes [...]
BLUE HAWAII @ The Recommender http://t.co/vBYIGLpv
What's in a band's name? Does it make a difference to your perception of the artist? Does it matter? We recall a pub conversation many years ago in which our friend declared with conviction that you " shouldn't name your band anything you can't imagine being declared over the PA at Wembley stadium ", as the announcer introduces you onstage to the giant crowd. Well, ladies and gentleman tonight we introduce you to..."Bluuuuuuuue Hawaiiiiiiiii"! OK, so that doesn't quite work, but one glance through the blog posts that have covered the Montreal duo, Blue Hawaii , since [...]
CBC Radio 3 Track of the Day. Lana Gay: "Some call it 'Braidsy,' others 'tropical pop;' I still find it a bit difficult to describe, but I've fallen in love with this track..."
Tweet From "Shapeshifting", one of the best albums of the year, comes the latest video from Young Galaxy for "Blown Minded". If you haven't heard the album yet, then get on that. Connect with Young Galaxy – Facebook | Twitter | MySpace | Website | Last.fm ( via GvsB )

One of the best indie dream pop bands in the world is Young Galaxy from Canada. And recently they were so gentle that they gave the EP "We Have Everything" for free over at their label Paper Bag Record's site . The EP only consists of remixes of "We Have Everything", from one of this year's best albums "Shapeshifting". Remixes come from Grimes, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Blue Hawaii, Adam & The Amethysts and Cotton Mouth. We give you two of them right here below along with the original, but if you want to grab the [...]
After the release of their wildly successful mixtapes Gone Fishing (2009) and Tacklebox (2010), throwback-rap superstars the Cool Kids are posed to release their debut LP When Fish Ride Bicycles on July 12 via Mountain Dew's Green Label Sound . "Swimsuits" is the first release off the album and it features crisp, airy vocals courtesy of neo-soul guru Mayer Hawthorne. The lo-fi production and stuttering intro quickly builds into a banger, replete with distorted keyboard motifs, groovy sub-bass and tight claps. The track [...]
![Blue Hawaii – Dream Electrixra (Silly Kissers Remix) [Fan-made video/Listen]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3453969_lg.jpg)
Totally stumbled with this fan made music video done by Benjamin Brewer . It is Blue Hawaii's remix by Silly Kissers' "Dream Electrixra". For those not familiar with Blue Hawaii , it is basically Raphaelle's from Braids and Agor. I like to called Blue Hawaii a beautiful warm tropical paradise. Dream Electrixra is taken from the album "Blooming Summer" on Arbutus Records ( Review ). Check out this fan made video, which uses the Silly Kissers remix of the song. Well crafted and directed, it makes it look [...]
![[Listen/Download] – Austra – "Lose It" (Young Galaxy Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3452330_lg.jpg)
Tweet This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before [...]
Music Rules. This is something we all know. 5 Very Wonderful Things* my-semi-regular post under which I list 5 great songs that I've been listening to lately and talk about them a little. Lately, I dig everything, from really old school experimental pop to local favorites and hot-off-the-vinyl-press pitchfork-approved songs. Comin\' Through 1. The War [...]
Benjamin Brewer is a serious contender for our favorite music video director over here at ATG. You may remember a while back we posted on the video for Dream Cop's "Marooned." That beautifully-shot piece was Mr. Brewer's work, so naturally we were more than happy satisfy premiere the director's latest video for the Silly Kissers remix of Blue Hawaii's "Dream Electrixra." There may not be any crazy mohawked rat-creatures in this one, but the wolf-babes fill that void just fine. Keep up the good work sir. MP3: Blue [...]
It's spring, and time for the Sounds of Spring mixtape for this week's Sunday 25 Mix. We spent some time picking the songs for this mix that consists of mostly indie, but some classic rock as well. There are a far amount of tracks that are mostly instrumental, including songs from Animal Collective, Atlas Sound, [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
![[Listen/Download] – Young Galaxy Cover Madonna – "Open Your Heart"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3377528_lg.jpg)
I can't say that I'm the biggest Madonna, in fact I can't say I'm a fan at all, but she has had a few decent tracks, like that one about religious virgins and the other one about the sun. Well apparently 25 years ago she released an album called "True Blue" and eight years ago Paperbag Records launched in Toronto, and NOW, they're not only commemorating their launch with a free tribute to "True Blue" from some of the artists on their roster, but they've launched a sexy new website too. The comp is available as [...]
Do you like music? Well this one is a call to action. A temporal mix that hopefully reads more timeless than momentary. A sort of "Music Now!" demand in line with the standout Frightened Rabbit track off their Sings The Greys debut. I always seem to end up with a bunch of late 60s tracks, and the ones on this mix seem to be especially central to the overall gesture. Almost as a challenge to myself after having an argument with a friend on the quality of 80s music, and realizing how few products of the [...]
