Photo Damn! It's been a lot of remixes of pop bands the last couple of posts. Great timing to blog this Hostage remix of one of my favourite 90's bands. I still think that Primal Screams Screamadelica is one of the best records ever made. This is Rocks from the Give out But Don't Give Up album. Primal Scream "Rocks (Hostage Remix)" (Thnaks to Monsieur P )

Photo I haven't gotten around to listen on the whole new Liverpol album yet but I don't think I will like it as much as I did the first one. But I do like this Phones remix of The Heinrich Maneuver, Phones always delivers and if you get the chance make sure that you catch one of his DJ-sets. Interpol "The Heinrich Maneuver (Phones Remix)"

Photo Another bumping tune from the Angello & Ingrosso team. This is Hard Fi's latest single and there is an album on the way. Hard Fi "Suburban Knights (Angello & Ingrosso Remix)"

It's been a while since I've heard anything from the Hoxton Whores but I'm glad their back because this Ninelives the Cat remix is great. I've been listening to it all day in my mp3-player while chilling in the sun. Ninelives The Cat "Dog Food (Hoxton Whores Mix)"

Photo Damn good remix of Fun Punch from this Australian kid that is Whitenoise . And it's probably not the last we've seen or heard from him. Check out his Space for more great tunes. Bag Raiders "Fun Punch (Whitenoise Remix)" (Removed) Thanks to Disco Delicious

Well it's no secret that we love the Cobra Snake and I've been borrowing his pictures for years. Always a great mix of beautiful people and interesting parties. Especially this week when he gives us a view of what Xavier de Rosnay from Justice had in his CD-case when they visited Los Angeles a couple of days ago. You can spot some Switch , Boys Noize , Digitalism and lots of other great stuff.

Photo Here's something to make your weekend a little bit better. This turned out to be a wonderful collaboration between Carnifull Trio and the Crookers . A perfect Friday tune! Carnifull Trio "Song For Guido (Crookers Remix)"

Photo I don't know where I got this tune from but I'm glad I found it. I've gotten pretty tired of this Soft Cell tune over the last couple of years but Richard Grey makes it hard not to fall in love with it again. I've heard a couple of different remixes but my favourite is this Deep Dish version. Richard Grey "Warped Bass (Deep Dish Remix)"

Photo This day I've mostly been listening to the new M.I.A. album "Kala" and of course it's a banger. Twelve great tunes that's gonna dominate the dance floors, radiowaves and record players this fall. M.I.A. "Bamboo Banger" Kala is out on XL Records , the 21st August.

Photo Well, this is a huge hit and it's been sold-out in a numerous record stores. Check out what the Boomkats have to say about it. "Without doubt one of the most definitive dancefloor twelves EVER released". MMM "Donna"

Found this in my mailbox today from Twerok Records . Patrick L is one of Radio Sidekicks most played artist last year and now his back with a new EP that's out this Wednesday over at Juno . Definitely worth checking out if you like Pet Population. Patrick L "Pet Population (Original Mix)"

Photo I really liked the Genesis tune that's been circulating for a while now and this got the same feel to it. Pryda "Murani"

Crazy evening. More info tomorrow!

Photo Something for the weekend. Trophy Twins are some of my favourite DJs at the moment. They always deliver and this remix of Williams & Fitch is another killer. Tonight they doing a gig in Leeds and if you have the chance you should definitely go. Williams & Fitch "What's Up Earthlets (Trophy Twins Remix)" (Thanks AGAIN to the wonderful Kidz by Colette !)

On my way to France last week we droved by Germany and past a huge industrial estate somewhere in the Ruhr area. It was in the middle of the night and all of the buildings and chimneys were glowing with bright neon colours. It was amazing and our bus went totally wild. I've never seen anything like it and suddenly it got very clear to me why Germany and techno go hand in hand. All the tunes we were listening to while we were driving got a special connection to this area. And there was one tune I couldn't stop [...]

Photo This Saturday the man with the smile gonna join DJ Mehdi and Team LK on the stage for a gig here in southern Sweden. He's been delivering some serious tunes this year and I'm sure that it will be a memorable night with lots and lots of Drama! I will let you know how it went. Calvin Harris "Merrymaking At My Place (Kissy Sell Out Remix)" Kissy Sell Out "Her"

Photo Dirty Disco Youth has really been busy the last couple of months with bringing us some of this years best remixes. He sent us this Boys Noize remix and it's a killer! We will probably see lots more of him in the near future. Boys Noize "& down (Dirty disco youth remix)"

Boat Club released their EP Caught The Breeze a while back and it's definitely worth a listening. This Gothenburg duo will be doing some touring this summer so make sure that you catch one of their shows. Boat Club "All The Time"
