It seems that most blogs worth talking about these days have some sort of mix series going for 'em, so to celebrate approximately one year in the blogosphere and the start of our mix series I present you PnTM-1: Mr. Mandelephant's Sinister Nugget Mix. 70 minutes of sub infused house knockers mixed by yours truly using two Stanton STR8 150s, a DJM 800 and an SL1. PnTM 1 Mr Mandelephant Sinister Nuggets by PluggedNotThugged Tracklist after the jump. [...]
If you hunt for a gentle easygoing tune, that 's full of glistening hearts and a vibe full of sparkle, then this is the perfect post in the perfect moment for your life. In the early fall of last year The Knocks met Ellie Goulding , whipped her sunny gem Starry Eyed up and now shoot it through the wide golden fields of the web. The cover/remix was done with their artist Samuel , who is signed to Startime/Columbia Records and has just finished his debut album Trains To Wanderland , which is [...]
Ellie Goulding 's lightweight wisp of a voice may adhere well to her "Starry Eyed" single's tender, child-like perspective on first love euphoria, but it's in NY singer-songwriter Samuel (previously hyped here for his acoustic remake of The-Dream's "Shawty Is The Shit") and production team The Knocks ' cover of the track that a far better song is crafted. While The Knocks bring a much-needed heft to the tune's fine, but slightly underwhelming, twee-tronica shimmer in their application of atmospheric synth washes and a toe-tapping downtown strut, Samuel's breathy tenor acts as the [...]
The week before the Super Bowl is always the loneliest week of the year. It's so bittersweet. The thought that there will be only one more game of meaningful football until September. Sigh. I'm happy to see that the Saints made it to the big dance. At this point, I'm 50% sure about Favre being 50% sure about coming back. On a music related note, the Grammys are this Sunday, and I can't say that I'm too excited. The nominees are the same year after year and the voters seem a bit out of touch with [...]
Alex Watson's pop sound is at once familiar and completely unique, with the kind of charisma in her voice that is all her own but the with an heir of nostalgia that makes you warm up to her like an old friend you haven't heard from in a while. This is to say, she's a star. "Animal Baby" fell into my inbox the other day. If it could be described in one word I would choose LOVELY. She's in New York working on her debut album with production wizards The Knocks. If I could describe that in four [...]
Alex Winston is a singer/songwriter/guitarist based out of Detroit. She was classically trained in opera and cites Little Richard, Professor Longhair, The Beach Boys and The Cardigans as some of her musical favorites, Her first single, "Animal Baby", produced by Ian Kirkpatrick, is the perfect pop song. It's like if you had a formula for pop music, this would be the the answer. Alex is currently working with up and coming producers The Knocks to produce her debut album. enjoY!

A mid-week update for you, unfortunately some of the tracks are a couple days older than I'd like them to be. Falling a couple days behind is like blog death, I should really stop traveling. Maybe if people stopped emailing me spam and emailed me just good stuff, in a perfect world. First off, I couldn't stop listening to this track, the Siriusmo remix of Chromeo . I'd like to hear them turn this into their own standalone track somehow, although I do love you so Chromeo. Surprisingly clean for a remix. [...]
First I got a remix that the cool kids from The Knocks sent over & then you'll find 2 more that Neon Gold released to promote the limited to 250 copies, 73 that was released last... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
I've been casually watching the hype surrounding Hereford born Ellie Goulding whiz past me for the last couple of months. Now I figured it was about time that I gave some blog space to the girl who is quite possibly one the most exciting female soloists of 2009. That may be a bold statement I know, 2009 has been filled to the brim with fresh female talent, but something about Ellie Goulding is a little more intriguing. Now by all accounts Goulding herself has heavily eclectic musical taste, infact I read somewhere that one of her most admired [...]
Ellie Goulding 's 'Under the Sheets' dropped yesterday and is destined for major success, the music blogosphere is awash with reMixes. Here's some of the best that have landed in the electronic rumors inbox. Baby Monster 's mix is making waves and it's a pounding retro styled pop affair while The Knocks produce a Electro jam with a wicked big synth bassline. Pariah 's spacey Dubstep builds to an almost garage beat for it's finale. ♫ Ellie Goulding - Under The Sheets (The Knocks reMix) (zShare) [...]
![[Tracks] Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2117697_lg.jpg)
I'm a big fan of the Kevin Bacon game, particularly on long car rides. Here goes nothing... Wolf Gang to Britney Spears in six steps/tracks. Wolf Gang 's "Pieces of You" was remixed by Baby Monster , who also remixed Ellie Goulding 's "Under the Sheets" which was also remixed by She Is Danger and The Knocks , the latter of which also remixed Britney Spears' latest #1 single "3." Wolf Gang - Pieces of You Wolf Gang - Pieces of You [...]
Ellie Goulding - Under The Sheets ( Knocks Mix) [ mp3 ] we <3 Ellie we <3 The Knocks we are happy to show you this remix
The Knocks have had a string of 'popular' hits in the past few months and really taking up the communist blog ideal of sharing. When I first received the email and noted it was a Britney Spears club/radio edit I was skeptical, but B-rok being a decent fellow and honest too I had a dabble. Now.. after a few listens I wasn't that impressed, nothing against the knocks but you can't buff a b ritney spears turd. If you were to choose either I'd go with the club mix as its [...]
Ellie Goulding - Under The Sheets (Knocks Mix) Last month, she performed on Jools Holland. Visit The Knocks on MySpace. MP3: Ellie Goulding - Under The Sheets (Knocks Mix)
OK there are a ton of remixes out there of this jam. Here are a few of the dopest including a couple from the DJ Remix Site . Shout out to everybody who is really getting that thing cooking! Be sure to start posting and helping everybody out or even just using the dope/wack buttons. 3 (The Knocks Remix) CLUB EDIT - Britney Spears download | mp3 3 (Wolfgang Gardtner Extdended Mix) - Britney Spears download | mp3 [...]
Okay, say what u want about Britney Spears and Max Martin productions, threesomes are always fun... If they not involve a steady couple that is, that's the ultimate road for disaster, but other than that, pro 3-ways! Here's one of the official remixes for Britney's latest single '3' from her upcoming album "The Singles Collection" from The Knocks wich will be released by Jive Records with the single and will be available to purchase on iTunes this week. Other official remixes done by Discotech, Wolfgang Gartner & more. Do they knock it out the ballpark? [...]
Dig this terrific remix of the Jackson Five classic "The Love You Save" from NYC's Lower East Side duo The Knocks , who have given their fresh treatment to songs by The Killers, Peter Bjorn & John, and Passion Pit. I always find the Jacksons eminently remixable (DJ Z-Trip did my favorite ever , but this is also close). Their songs were so laden with strong foundational elements that can be teased out to the front in myriad different ways. Enjoy this for your Hump Day. Holy heck. [...]
Sleepyhead is like 20 years old in blogs years and I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to sit through another remix until I ran in my latest muse, Sleepyhead (The Knocks Remix) . Most of you know the Passion Pit story by now but for those who don't here's a cliff notes version. This song along with the entire Chunk of Change EP from which it's from was written for the lead singers (Michael Angelakos') girlfriend. The EP ended up catching fire at Emerson and the rest is history. The power of love? You [...]
Here's a slew of new remixes that were either crammed into our uber-stuffed in-box or caught our attention via some other corner of the World Wide Web. Enjoy!! Beyonce "Ego (The Twins Remix)": You may remember The Twins from their twinkly keyboard-decorated re-haul of Drake's "Best I Ever Had" that premiered a while back. On their latest hot-like-fire project, they completely strip away the old-school R&B influence of Beyonce's "Ego" , giving the double entendre-laced ditty a Timbaland-like futuro-club sheen complete with hard knocking drums, synth sine [...]
