Legendary producer Johnny Jewel, boss of the label Italians Do It Better, has been quite active lately! Today he shared a remix from Chicago producer Drew Conn, a.k.a. Visione, of Chromatics' "Tick Of The Clock." If you're fan of the band you already know that the original single is part of "Drive" movie soundtrack. Visione's remix of this single is pretty much epic! Besides respecting the feeling from the original track, he adds some heavy crispy synths taking off the perspective of the "driver" inducing the listener to pay attention to this piece. Around the min 1:56 is where all [...]

J'ai Oublié Mon Coeur, roughly translated from the French, means "I Forgot About My Heart." This is a Dark Valentine's Day playlist for the solitary types. I've never been a fan of playlists as a random collection of songs, so think of this list as a journey. Here we are exploring the dynamic of thinking you're made of stone, but really, love shoots and shatters through your glass insides like a pinball made of steel. Beginning with Dean Blunt's "Papi," we ask: How do you deal with someone who "brings out the best in you when human [...]

Got a nice chill mix for all you chillers out there today. Coming from Chromatics - this one almost reminds me of something along the lines of RAC mixed with light Fred Falke and something equally as indie. Hypnotizing vocals and catchy guitar riffs characterize this remix. Enjoy! CHERRY (Main Fix) - Chromatics Play Download

The Recycle Culture crew put on good reason to revisit the Chromatics' excellent "These Street Will Never Look the Same" track from earlier this year.

There's something about going for a night drive that get's the blood stirring. It doesn't matter where you're going, but it definitely matters what you're listening to through your car stereo. That is exactly the feeling captured by the 2011 Nicolas Winding Refn film Drive . Set in the city of Los Angeles, Drive is the story of an unnamed man, referred to as the driver, played by Ryan Gosling. The driver is a quiet, Hollywood stuntman who serves as a getaway driver at night to help make ends meet. His life changes when he [...]

If Urban Outfitters started making music videos, this is what they would look like. The latest visuals from Portland electronic group Chromatics for their single Cherry has a very vintage look and could probably be sold frame for frame in a picture book next to Dads Are the Original Hipsters or Awkward Family Photos . Directed by Alberto Rossini , the video’s throwback look provides a great showcase for this Chromatics nostalgic chiller. You can pick up Cherry on the upcoming Italians Do It Better compilation [...]

Back in March, Portland-based electronic group Chromatics released their fourth effort, Kill For Love , a widely-acclaimed album that's sure to make many year-end lists. Today, band member Johnny Jewel revealed quite the treat for their fans: over 30 minutes of previously unreleased material from the Kill For Love recording sessions, a collection he's dubbed Running From The Sun . He's included all the lyrics and a comment about the mix here . Stream and download the entire thing below. Enjoy!

One of the game-changing albums in the past few months has been Chromatics’ ‘ Kill For Love’ . It’s an album of which all tracks seem to build a story together and all songs are almost equally good, which doesn’t happen too often. Sometimes when listening to ‘Kill For Love’ it felt like it could easily have been one long and beautiful song, like Sufjan Stevens’ Impossible Soul for example. Now the formation led by mastermind Johnny Jewel is busy touring with those beautiful songs and the frontman [...]
