There's the kind of House music which can be a little bit, well, soft for me. A bit too ductile and weak. A good few years ago when I was out and about clubbing regularly in my youth, there were a few of house music tracks that never left my side because they were a little meatier and had sustenance. I was hooked and locked into them which is rare for me because I like variety. I still listen to some of those tracks now. To me they are timeless.

They are also released a remix EP with reworks by the likes of James Yuill, Canblaster, Mr. Maen, Rocky, Freak You, Segundo, and Boston Bun. Here's James Yuill's electro take on "Little Cloud", out favorite cut from the release. Give it a spin below.

This week On The Fruit Records released a reMix collection featuring some awesome reworkings of ElectroPop duo T&K s newly released album, Magic Tank. The whole collection is well worth checking out, for me the highlights came from James Yuill , Mr. Mn , Rocky and Freak You . Mr. Yuills take on Little Clouds is an epic, rolling, ElectroPop monster. An evolving analog beast that despite being a pumping electronic floorfiller is amazingly cinematic and emotive. After an icy intro, Mr. Mns version of Summer Nights becomes a massive 80s moment [...]]]> text/html 2011-10-26T08:02:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3816457/new-video-apparat-black-water/

Trophy Wife - Bruxism EP By Rosie Duffield Bruxism seems like an unlikely theme for an EP, but Oxford trio Trophy Wife have their reasons. Each member of the band suffers from some sort of sleep disorder (bruxism being the habit of clenching teeth which usually occurs during sleep), and the tracks reference sleep and dreams as well as the often chemically induced moments in waking life that feel dreamlike. The EP has been eagerly awaited by [...]]]> text/html 2011-10-06T02:18:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3769950/pop-kult-week-2-guestlist-earmilk-toronto/

The EP contains five new tracks, produced by five different producers: Plaid, Ewan Pearson, Yannis Philippakis from Foals, Andrew Halford and James Yuill.

One Sixth Of Tommy are three girls with three guitars who make some folky noise, that is until they come across Popmeister James Yuill who reMixes their track For Always into an involving ElectroPop ballad. With a sound and atmosphere that harkens back to the the likes of The Postal Service and Folktronica (dont blame me, I didnt invent the word!) Yuills mix is slightly Glitchy and conveys a powerful and emotional mood. The piano fronted chilled ElectroPop seems to channel the emotion of the track slightly better than the acoustic guitar lead original with [...]]]> text/html 2011-06-13T13:08:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3513797/bright-light-bright-light-remixes-james-yuill/
As premiered on last weeks Fear Of Tigers The Guestlist show this is Bright Light Bright Light s reMix of James Yuill s Crying For Hollywood. Light and breezy ElectroPop is the order of the day here. Piling on the worlds most feel-good 90s House piano riff in amongst dreamy arpeggios lifts James vocals and lets them do their job perfectly. The suns come back out this morning.

Described as an artist who is "a bit of a recluse," British artist James Yuill serves up some of finest electro-pop that is best described as an unorthodox blend of melancholic synths, delicate vocals and crispy dance beats. Yuill has successfully mastered the science of combining musical genres that would otherwise seem incompatible. Yuill's new album, titled " Movement In A Storm ," is a beautifully-crafted effort that some have referred to as "folktronica" and "acoustic house." "I originally wanted to mix acoustic songs with Amon Tobin style production, but it was hard to find samples [...]]]> text/html 2011-05-04T09:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3413842/mp3s-of-the-day-333-james-yuill/
'Crying for Hollywood', a James Yuill track that is fast-paced but for some reason sounds pretty laid back, seems to be an odd choice for a remix, considering it's already electronic-y to begin with. But DJ Shir Khan and Grown Men (aka Al Doyle and Felix Martin of Hot Chip , under the guise of a new DJ / production team) have taken the song from Yuill's LP 'Movement in a Storm' and given it their own personal stamps. The DJ Shir Khan version is decidedly tropical, and [...]]]> text/html 2011-04-30T16:35:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3406160/5-amazing-chill-out-tracks/
With mewritingsooo much about hard banging tracks, sometimes it's you need some chill out to calm down the storm around you. I thought I'd share with you some of my favourite tracks that usually get me in the mood for a cheeky nap.

Coachella is this weekend. As tempting as it is to turn off my Twitter feed or not check Facebook this weekend, I will be glued every night. The good thing is that Coachella will be streamed and a moment won't be missed. On the upside, I won't be paying $12 for one beer, potentially losing my wallet (literally and metaphorically), not waiting in line to use the commode and not losing my cellphone. By my estimation, I would have had ingested about 6 double-doubles from In-Out by now.
