Hi! It's been a while since my last Weekend = Musique post, so I thought it was on time to do one. And, to make up for all the waiting, I'll try to make it big. Lately, I've been listening to much Swedish house music, like Eric Prydz , Axwell and Laidback Luke . So let's post some tunes (to be played loud): Adele - Hometown Glory (Axwell Remode Mix) Eric Prydz - Pjanoo (Excel Remix) [...]
Okay, so next up we've got one of my latest and most amazing facinations. This guy just keeps pumping out one kickass tune after another, rising in quality and maturity for each one. I'm talking about none other than Sydney-based DJ/Producer Northie . At age 19 (!!!) he has attained over 5 club residencies, his first Original Release and a handful of Remix releases. If there's one up-and-coming artist I'd bet my money on, It'd have to be this guy. His sound is best described as bouncy, energetic, kinda fidget-ish electro. Keywords - wobbly bass, great [...]
Okay, so Animal Collective's new album, Merriweather Post Pavillion, is out in a few days. I've been hesitant to check it out because of all the hype and seeing it mentioned everywhere, but the day finally came. Personally I had no relation to the band from earlier, but from different fora/websites I got the impression that this stuff would be right up my alley. So I've had a few listens, and I've got to say - I'm never going to let hype keep me away from anything ever again. This little piece of digital signals is AMAZING. Hooked [...]
Hi. Google deleted my last post with my Britney remix, so here it is again! Tell me what you think!
Happy new year, everyone! I was bored and played with my new Axiom 25 today (it's pretty funny!). It ended up with this remix of Britney's last single Circus: Britney Spears - Circus (Øyvind's Late Night Laptop Remix)
Photo: Erik Lunke Allright, this is my very last chance to give you some bangin' tunes this year. These will rock your new year's eve (yeah, I included one of my own edits too. I havent really done anything to it, except from making it longer and easier to drop in a DJ set. I posted it in a comment at Deckhead some days ago, and it got some downloads) : Kylie Minouge - Wow (MSTRKRFT Remix) [...]
Today I will present you for Vinter in Hollywood , an upcoming Norwegian electro artist. His name is Aleksander Vinter, and before he got into producing electro, he was active in both the metal (!) and the trance scene. In Norwegian radio, he is often compared to Justice and Daft Punk , and to drop some more French names, I think Vinter sounds a bit like SebastiAn and Mr. Oizo to. Vinter in Hollywood is now nominated for the Norwegian Årets Urørt , an annual award [...]
Photo: Erik Lunke It's christmas, and we have no snow here in Oslo. That drives me mad, and i have to post some tracks to survive. These will get you in mood for both christmas and snow: PNAU - With You Forever Mr. Oizo - Jo CSS - Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above (Diplo Remix) Djuma Soundsystem - Les Djinns (Trentemøller Remix)
Photo: Erik Lunke Let's listen to some great music! Digitalism has come out with a remix EP named Hands On Idealism . From that I give you a remix by The Proxy : Digitalism - Home Zone (Proxy Remix) Norwegian Datarock is one of my all time favourites, and this remix by Villains makes them even better. Datarock - Computer Camp Love (Villains Remix) [...]
I just had to make a post about my new-found remix-love, the LA Riots. Also, because of the riots in Athens these days, I figured something related to riots would be suitable. Anyways, to the point - LA Riots. They're an (you guessed it) American duo with quite a fresh take to remixing stuff. They basically chop and tear the original work, with awesome rythms and kickass beat. Some of their tracks have been around on blogs for quite some time now, but it's never too late to post great pieces of work. First off, their [...]
Photo: Espen Holst Møllebak The Christmas is finally here, and so is the Christmas music, and of course, I will share some of my favourite Christmas tracks with you! First of all, i have to say, this is no electro, not even close. The reason? I've never heard an electro/house Christmas song that is worth sharing with any others then my delete-key. If you think I've missed something, please tell me. I'll start with my all-time favourite singer/songwriter and country star, Ryan Adams . This has to be one of the [...]
Okay, so google took down my last weekend-post. They've been doing this to a lot of blogs lately ( Deckhead had a great comment on this some days ago). Well, I still want to give you some great tracks for this weekend too, so let's try again! The last week, I've really fallen for the rapper Kid Sister , the lady who did the female vocals on The Count & Sinden 's Beeper. She is most known for the track Pro Nails that she did with Kanye West , but it's far [...]
Hi everyone, say hello to my new favourite remixers (and producers); Designer Drugs , from New York. They serve some really fat bass lines, and a great mix of noise and melody. Their debut single Zombies is out on Iheartcomix , and you have no reason not to check it out. I give you their (in my opinion) greatest remix, Mariah Carey's I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time. Mariah Carey - I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time (Designer Drugs Remix) [...]
The Proxy ! Oh boy, where to begin. When I saw Boys Noize live this summer, he played a track that stood out from the rest. I went for weeks trying to figure out what the hell that awesome noise was, and one day I accidentally stumbled upon a tracklist - it was, not surprisingly, Raven by The Proxy. He's a producer from Moscow, Russia, and I urge you to check out his stuff on beatport - this is the future, kids. Since then I've heard two tracks of his being played by the [...]
Okay, the new FABRICLIVE.43 is coming out next week, and it's mixed by Sinden himself. The man has got a lot going for him lately - he's been playing clubs all over Europe, soon releasing an album with The Count of Monte Cristal (aka Herve ) on Domino Records and now this. Back to the mix; Sinden's awesome blend of different styles and genres will most likely be taken to another level this time. Here's what he states on the Fabric website ; "I've [...]
Everyone's favorite robots There are a lot of Daft Punk remixes out there. Two whole albums, actually (Daft Club and Human After All Remixed), plus loads of bootlegs. Unfortunately, 90% of the remixes really suck. Here are a few that are definitely worth a listen though; First off, a remix of Aerodynamic by Sydney-based Northie , a 19 year old DJ/Procucer. It's amazing, and in our opinion one of the best remixes of any Daft Punk material. Daft Punk - Aerodynamic (Northie Remix) ( [...]
Justice @ Oslo Live this summer Justice ' livealbum A Cross The Universe leaked some days ago, and it's just as amazing as I expected. They blend heavy distorted guitars from the 80's with metal, some great samples ( Klaxons , Soulwax ), and, of course, their own dark electro-tech. Most of my friends were disappointed after their DJ-set at the A Cross The Universe release-tour, because they "played so many remixes and unknown songs". Well friends, you won't get disappointed by their [...]
Wow, a new blog! Yep, we'll try to share our love for the worldwide indie/electro scene, and hopefully you'll discover some hot sh** here. Who are we? We're Edvard Larsen and Øyvind Lunke of Oslo, Norway. Why are we writing this in English? Well, to reach out to more people, and to be able to spread whatever Norwegian stuff that might pop up to a larger audience. Thin White Duke aka Stuart Price Let's start off [...]
