Star Guitar just can't help themselves when it comes to remixing, after they gave away 11 remixes, for free, last week. They've already made another. They have obviously been inspired by Daft Punk's appearance at Phoenix's show at the Garden. So, to that end, they have fused Daft Punk's "Veidis Quo" and the Phoenix's "Fences" together to make a lovely languid vocal chiller. Daft Punk vs Phoenix - Fences (Very Disco Version) by Star Guitar

Belgian duo Star Guitar releases a collection of eleven remixes via French label Paranoiak for free. Star Guitar made themselves a name in the world with great remixes of Snoop Dogg, Phoenix and Florence And The Machine and now they've made some newer remixes of We Have Band and French Horn Rebellion. It's a superb collection of remixes, where everyone is good in a kind of way, but here are our faves from the collection. Birdy Nam Nam - The Parachute Ending (Star Guitar Remix) Florence [...]

Star Guitar are a new Belgium duo, who can only really be compared to a couple of acts, the first the Twelves and secondly Aeroplane - why I hear you ask? Well, first of all they are looking like the next act to be labelled as remixers du jour, similar to Aeroplane, and secondly they have a remixing style very much like The Twelves - taking tracks that aren't dance tracks and bring them to the dance floor with skilful savvy production. They're part of the same French label Paranoiak, who look after the fantastic Irish Steph, who [...]
Finalmente chegou a vez dos britânicos We Have Band actuarem em Lisboa. Depois de um concerto fechado no Porto e uma actuação este no Festival de Paredes de Coura, os We Have Band reuniram uma assistência bastante considerável que conseguiu ser bastante heterogénea, mostrando assim um estilo próprio da banda que atravessa várias camadas, fazendo lembrar, por alguns momentos, os Bloc Party no pico

Manimal Vinyl's tribute to David Bowie We Were So Turned On is out now, and features covers of Bowie tracks by a bunch of contemporary artists. You may remember Warpaint covering Ashes to Ashes , but Vivian Girls, Chairlift, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and others are also on the compilation. Purchase it here . We Have Ban d turns Bowie's classic Let's Dance into something of their own. You've definitely heard the original (ain't it awesome?), but their version is [...]
. As some of you already know, whilst we were handing out flyers for a previous show some months back, a girl took one from my outstretched hand, turned to her mate and said the immortal line without any signs of a smirk... "O h, The Recommender parties are great! If you come once, they'll make you come multiple times ". And so our strapline was was born. The ONLY blog party you need to know about is back and we bring you three more extraordinary artists to salivate over. We specialise in taking our online [...]

Se há sonoridade que nos últimos anos tem tido um grande crescimento e que, por consequência, tem feito as delícias de muita gente, é mesmo o casamento entre o rock e a electrónica. Não que seja algo característico do século XXI, mas efectivamente a facilidade com que hoje os meios informáticos estão à disposição das pessoas, serve precisamente para rearranjar, de forma moderna, o que se fazia lá
We've completed several posts about the Brighton band Mirrors here on The Recommender, including an enjoyable Q&A, ( listed here ). We've looked on adoringly from the beginning, having witnessed their first ever gig and since then they've matured and honed their sound into the beautiful, emotive noir pop that we hear today. We would be very surprised if they're not on lots of credible ' tips for 2011 ' lists come the end of this year. Their latest news arrived today in the form of a new single, Hide & Seek , due for release [...]

Il y a deux sortes de premières parties : celles que tu écoutes négligemment en tapant du pied, attendant patiemment (ou pas) l'arrivée de la tête d'affiche sur scène et celles qui t'envoient une décharge de tubes dans les jambes, si bien que quand la tête d'affiche arrive, t'es cuit. We Have Band , c'est l'exemple parfait pour illustrer le 2e cas : de gauche à droite, Darren, Dede et Tom, 3 anglais éléctriques, repérés par Kitsuné puis signés par Naïve pour leur 1er album. Sur la scène de la [...]

A l'occasion de leur concert lyonnais qui a eut lieu hier soir à l' Epicerie Moderne , les We Have Band ont accepté de répondre aux questions que WATM avait à leur poser. Si vous ne connaissez pas encore We Have Band, une petite session de rattrapage s'impose. Les anglais de WHB se sont fait connaître en 2008 via leur myspace grâce à l'imparable "Oh!". Deux apparitions sur les compiles Kitsuné plus tard ("Hear It In The Cans" sur la Kitsuné Maison Compilation [...]

E' un gustoso triplo cd quello che uscirà il 12 ottobre sotto la sigla di « We were so Turned on » con il ricavato che verrà devoluto a War Child Charit. Il tribute, curato dalla label Manimal Vinyl, contiene tutti i maggiori successi di David Bowie cantati da artisti come Megapuss (Devendra Banhart) Carla Bruni, Keren Ann, Arno. Mick Karn e Duran Duran. Accanto a loro anche alcuni nomi emergenti della scena inglese come : We Have Band , Chairlift, Warpaint, Exitmusic, We Are The World , Lewis & Clarke, Jessica [...]

Following their sold out, road blocked Easter special at Heaven Neon Noise Project returns Saturday October 2nd with a killer line up at brand spanking new central London club XOYO . With live performances from We Have Band and Human Life , and DJ sets from Surkin (Institubes), Punks Jump Up (Kitsune) and DJ Feadz (Ed Banger) in the main room, expect catchy vocal hooks, dirty bass lines, stunning synths and speaker spanking electro! Whilst in room 2 the future disco beats are brought to you by The C902s [...]

FREEDOM OR DEATH Bands made up from former employees of the music industry isn't a particularly new story. Out of all the artists covered on The Recommender it is a trick that's perhaps been most impressive with We Have Band , formerly of EMI, but here we turn our attention to a new Toronto duo, Freedom Or Death, who called the major label Sony home for over ten years. Those who leave major labels will have had a vital education, giving them crucial insider knowledge and what is perhaps most on show with this new [...]
A couple weeks ago Mr. Fake Blood blessed my ears with a highly addictive chune that he's been playin out recently. After a little bit of research, I discovered a new fascination, Screendeath . I'm not quite sure how they've escaped my radar for so long, especially with such great remixes... the remix of Gold In The Fire may be the best I've heard thus far and I've heard 7 of em.... Screendeath Remix Vitamins Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A [...]
After the shut-down amid crowd safety fears the night before, the festival website this morning reveals that the acts on the second day have been rescheduled to allow the event to close at 11.30pm instead of the 6.30am blow-out planned originally. Some acts have been cancelled (including Ireland's Yes Cadets) but most have been pulled back up to earlier in the day and the organisers do all they can to get this info out to the attendees. Sadly we now miss Edwin Collins who starts much earlier in the day but do catch the [...]
Joy Wellboy is a Belgium band that is still a question mark for me. They have few friends on myspace, no concerts scheduled or whatsoever and no one seems to know them. I think I'm in love! Some may say they have some We Have Band similarities, but I think they will soon get a place of their own. Above, a nice videoclip for their song "Flush Me", involving a room, a person, water and clay (lots, apparently). Os Joy Wellboy são uma banda Belga que ainda é uma incógnita para [...]
