If there is any lesson I've taken away from my top remixes of '09, it's that someone on the internet will always be better at mixing your music. This was a dangerous year in terms of producers finding credibility through remixing, and I wonder where things will be by this time next year. Hope you enjoy these remixes as much as I have. 10. Nosaj Thing [Flying Lotus - Camel] Flying Lotus holds a very special place in my heart. This remix is perfect. Made even more perfect [...]
Deux mois après son premier 73, Mirrors vient juste d'en publier un deuxième. Voilà... FIN _ _ _ _ En fait, nan. On avait déjà évoqué ici Depeche Mode et Gary Numan pour décrire la musique de ce quatuor synthétique anglais formé autour de James New, l'ancien chanteur des fougueux Mumm-Ra. L'influence electro-pop 80's est aujourd'hui toujours assez évidente. Le groupe vient d'ailleurs de publier un nouveau titre, réussi, Somewhere [...]

After years of searching for compressed synths weaved under a tight beat, it has been interesting to see Ed Banger become the standard for popular electronic/house music. I helped organize an electronic music festival in Belgium a few years ago, and although the Ed acts that played were solid and entertaining, many people were wondering how long the label would actually last. Breakbot seems to be exactly what they needed. While other acts such as Daft Punk [...]
Be honest, how often do you bathe yourself? Not shower, but actually take a bath? Hardly ever, I presume. A few people might insist that they regularly have baths, as they are so relaxing and so great. Granted, they are relaxing (ish). And great (boring). But sure you do. Sure. (Now that I think of it, [...]

After a brief hiatus with plenty of R&R they're back and ready to displace your dentals once again. So head on over and murder some bandwidth! So, what has been going on in MANIA land lately? We've been working on some projects with a few fantastic local tastemakers to put out events such as the amazing success that was BLOG VOLTRON: [...]
Will someone please explain to me the phenomenon that is time while at work? Doesn't it feel like right before you get to work flying and you can't move fast enough to keep up but the second you sit down it's like you go into some alternate world and it takes an hour for 5 minutes to pass. Work sucks huh? Well, I've got a little something to help you day dream more than you already do... The Twelves released a new 60 minute mixtape two days ago and I think my friend Ben's facebook message describes it [...]
The Twelfth Hour is the brand new mixtape from The Twelves , think of it as being the long awaited sequel to 'Episode II'. It's nearly an hour long and features new Twelves remixes on; Radiohead, Black Kids, Pacific!, Terry Poison & Fever Ray. Utterly brilliant, unique and unmistakably Twelves, you have to ask why it's such a pain in the arse to catch them doing this live?! It was premiered on Radio 1's ' Rob Da Bank ' show last night, if you want to hear the interview Rob had with Luciano then head on [...]
I experienced some computer problems when my Windows OS crashed a while back. I learned that using a computer without an operating system is quite inconvenient, so I was very happy when my personal IT support resurrected it from the dead. Now I can get back to my usual mp3-blogging by the pool. So, to keep the computer gods happy, I'll post some tracks from French electro artist Popular Computer . These ones are also for Upkar and Anders. Popular Computer - Girls Pacific! - Sunset Blvd [...]
Mellan turnéer i Argentina och Australien kommer Sarah Assbring, mer känd som El Perro Del Mar, att hjälpa pacific! med Narcissus under hösten. Vad Sarah kommer att göra är att sjunga de kvinnliga rollerna i berättelsen. - Jag känner mig otroligt hedrad över att bli erbjuden att få vara med om ett så speciellt projekt som detta faktiskt är. En känsla av gudomlighet ligger över hela föreställningen och jag längtar så efter att dela detta med pacific! och dansarna, säger Assbring i ett pressmeddelande. Detta kan nog få flera att bli intresserade av pacific!:s pop-balett. För [...]
I höst har Pacific! bestämt sig för att bjuda klubbpubliken på vad de kallar för en helt ny upplevelse. Tillsammans med Olof Persson och dansarna Rebecca Evanne och Lina Räftegård kommer bandet och dansarna framföra den tidlösa historien om nymfen Echo och hennes älskade Narcissus. – Det här handlar oerhört mycket om aktuella frågeställningar. Det är en gammal myt men den är samtidigt helt tidlös. Den speglar perfekt den tid vi lever i och de utmaningar unga människor står inför, säger Daniel Högberg, den ena halvan av duon i ett pressmeddelande. Låter det intressant? Ja, lite [...]

Unicorns, check... Space, check... Unicorns in space, check... And that my friends is how you get my attention. "Imagine a one man space odyssey to discover new worlds, new beats, new sounds... Cruising through galaxies of retro synths spinning out huge solos, arpeggios running wild through the space prairies and beats the size of Tyrannosaurus Rex. COF is piloting a solo space pod to travel back to the 80s on Planet Earth. But in his own private galaxy it's already year 2112.." Ricco Vitali, AKA Cavaliers of Fun is an [...]
Last month I took a brief journey back to the homeland and visited Crimson of Frozen Pharaoh at his place in Southern MN. The drinks were rough, the women were blonde, and the night ended with us throwing songs at each other. After slinging recent releases from Bibio and Passion Pit, I was totally blown away when he blasted shit that sounded like the Swedish lovechild of Daft Punk and The Beach Boys. pacific! hail from Gothenburg. They've been remixed by Breakbot and Avalon, and are a large part of why I'll be mixing a furious [...]
I first heard about electronic dancypants music producer guy, DatA from Paris, France through hearing the Pacific! remix of the song Rapture from his Rapture EP that could be very well considered a single since it was just the track with 2 remixes and a sequel. Alas, that was then and now is now- as DatA's debut LP, Skywriter has been released (sadly, only in Europe) but should be in American soil and iTunes stores soon enough Hear more of DatA on [...]
Ok.. Who doesn't love gettin grooved out disco style?

So turn down those lights, and let the disco love shine on.. With You Forever - PNAU Love Love Love (Soft Rocks Remix) - Low Motion Disco [extra groovy] Runaway To Elsewhere - Pacific!

Swedish DJ/producers, Staygold , have been around for a while, mainly producing tracks for others, with an impressive list of collaborations tied to their name. For example, wait til you hear this tidy mix from Carli Löf and Måns Glaeser! Staygold's debut album will be released on Magnetron later this year. The album will show their outrageous talent for songwriting as well as putting dancefloors ablaze, with a little help from friends like DJ Mehdi, Switch, Spankrock, Mapei and many others. Check out their mix of fellow [...]
![[JBI!] TBE Presents: Fever For The Flavor – A Mix for L.A.](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1811395_lg.jpg)
Los Angeles, the city of a million legends and a million disappointed tourists. Its too big to take in by foot and too confusing and traffic-packed to really see by car. It really isn't a city at all, but more of a collection of cities that all happen to touch each other and give the illusion of being unified. However, while the city/ies may be sprawling and disjointed, they share a role as muse for great music. As I have simmered here this past two weeks I have been compiling my list of great L.A. songs. Some tribute, some complaint, [...]
