Visitor is London based duo Kyle Gibson and Lucas Gianello. We're days apart from their debut EP to be released, though they have put out two (excellent) releases a few years ago as Cobra Dukes , their previous project. Still worth checking out. 'Los Feeling' has already proven itself to be a solid piece of pop (or whatever you would like to categorise it as), good thing it's getting a proper release now. The EP will be out June 21st, on Alan Braxe's Vulture label no less! The man himself made a remix of 'Los Feeling' as [...]
Yo! nigga'z , Hoje vou postar algumas tracks novas, que surgiram nos últimos tempos... Começando com um remix dos Hey Champ ! , trio que esteve no mês passado no Brasil, e que nos últimos tempos tem lançado uma serie de remixes muito bons, e que ira lançar seu álbum de estréia próximo ano. • Priors - What you need (Hey Champ! Remix) [...]
The Twelves are DJ'ing at Laser Club this friday @ The Legion. It is their first proper UK show (lovebox didn't count) and it should be an awesome night. If you've seen any of the videos floating around on the internets , their style is heavy on the improvisation and they remix tracks on the fly. You can pre-order tickets here . ♫ Cobra Dukes - Leave the Light On (The Twelves Remix) [ M ] ♫ Terry Poison - Comme Ci Comme Ca (The Twelves [...]
While I anxiously wait for new material from Visitor , I decided to do a little search and seek through the vast webspace and dig up any tidbits and tracks I may have already missed. Seems as though Beastonia has covered nearly everything there already is to know. Until. Visitor put out a mix for Valerie back in July, and it includes a track not heard before! Another beastly favorite of ours, Diamond Cut , provides a revox for Visitor's Beating [...]
Although the news of the band's demise was unfortunate and untimely for those who followed UK kids Cobra Dukes, there's seemingly a dazzlingly bright light at the end of the tunnel. Out of the ashes of Cobra Dukes comes... Visitor . Much like the group's cosmically charged name implies, Visitor are very much of the dreamy, synth-driven variety. It's on the duo's debut demo, Los Feeling, that they show off their talent for crafting futuristic pop with gleaming synths and genuine hooks. That should come as no surprise when you learn that Visitor has been working [...]

I dare anybody to have a better press photo than this. Just fucking try.... I especially like his "really have better things do be doing" facial expression. Knightlife's "II" EP is still good. Knightlife - Crusader (Demo) Cobra Dukes - Leave The Light On (Knightlife Remix) ← ♥♥ ♥
I guess its time to write about my favourite Brazilians: The Twelves. Joao Miguel and Luciano Oliveira from Rio de Janeiro formed the group back in 2006. The name came from the strange coincidence of their birth dates: twelve of July of 1980. The breakthrough came when they remixed "Boys" by M.I.A. I've never had the opportunity to see them live but their shows are a unique blend of live keyboards, drum machines, mash-ups and remixing on the fly. A key element for the duo is trying to improvise as much as possible. Here are some [...]
"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Denver as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Denver is a moveable feast." A lot to write about, but pressed for time. It's a snow storm outside. I could write about how I tiger clawed the shit out of some hispter hotty, and she tiger clawed the shit out of me right back, or how the cops are operating a racketeer business, or how yesterday all's I did was wake up and smoke some chron, [...]
This is a video of some internet lol-a-thon guy called "Chris-Chan", his claim to fame is creating "Sonichu" the worlds first "Electric Hedgehog Pokemon", he has even tried to copyright this amazing concept of 'Sonic + Pikachu', probably without understanding exactly how copyright law works. There is something quite compelling about just how weird this guy is, he has such a bizzare history. You can read more (obviously.. a little OTT) about him here and here . If you watched that video and now feel a bit violated, here are some musical happy treats to [...]

Chewed up and spit back out by some of the best around. The vocals from Goldielocks are surprisingly fitting for the track, and the bassline and beat from AC Slater and DJ Skeet Skeet are as dirty, deep, and wobbly as ever. You gotta check this one out. Little Boots - Meddle (AC Slater & DJ Skeet Skeet Remix feat. Goldielocks) Bonus: [...]
Aeroplane have been knocking out some fantastic reMixes these past 12 months (as well as producing some mighty fine tunes themselves!). each one a slice of Italo infused Nu-Disco excellence! Here are some of their best, starting with their most recent for Cobra Dukes . Cobra Dukes - Airtight (Aeroplane Mix) (zShare) (MediaFire) And one of my favourite Cut Copy songs. Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire (Aeroplane POP Mix) (zShare) (MediaFire) [...]
I though now would be a good chance to give my predictions as to who to look out for in 2009. The acts / producers / remixers / bands - whatever, who opened our eyes towards the end of last year and are continuing to do great things. Coeur de Pirate released her first record, Le disque de Coeur de Pirate in September 2008. I think this will be another Black Kids story... As soon as a song is touched and remixed it will explode. Just like what The Twelves [...]

So it's official apparently. It's R.I.P. time for indie-upstarts, Cobra Dukes. Fortunately though, it's not dead dead and the band are just re-grouping, re-jigging and indeed re-formatting things to come back better than ever under a new name. Hopefully that'll be soon, because their stuff was so promising when they first appeared. And Prestel had the good sense to throw excellent remixes (read:

So where'd Cobra Dukes go, exactly? Been unnervingly quiet for too long. But this mix from DM/DS will keep me hanging on a little longer. Cobra Dukes - The Beating Of The Drum (Death Metal Disco Scene Mix) MYSPACE
December has to have the highest concentration of holidays in the fewest number of days. I mean... Hanuka, Christmas, Kwanza, New Year's Eve, Boxing Day, and of course my birthday, which happens to coincide with New Year's eve. That's a lot of holidays! So I'm posting this ahead of time since I will probably be consumed with festivities on December 31st as I'm sure many of you will as well. So here is my birthday/new year's gift to you, a mix of some of the best remixes I've heard this year. Bon nouvelle année et joyeux anniversaire à moi! [...]
