This week I've really found some gems from all sorts of artists and styles, both old and new. It goes from cinematic to political to inspiring to dreamy, a true mix of vibes in this collection and a very strange mix of artists. It ranges from Dolly Parton to The Postal Service to The Shins to DJ Shadow, but it works in some crazy way, there is even a Pretty Lights mix of a classic John Denver song. As always I hope you enjoy the eclectic group of tunes that I have patched together and dig a little deeper with [...]
Last week we had the privilege of talking with André Allen Anjos , one third of the Remix Artist Collective (or RAC ). With his Collective partners, Andrew Maury and Karl Kling , what began as a simple remix project, has blossomed into something that now garners work for the likes of Lana Del Ray , Temper Trap , Phoenix , and even Katy Perry! Andre gives us a little information about the creation of RAC , the members involved, and their creative process. We also talk about his individual efforts and the [...]

It can go without saying that dance music producers have an undeniable love affair with the sultry vocals of the newly dubbed pop princess Lana Del Rey . Whether it is her subtle soothing soul or her lyrical flow, it is clear that producers can't get enough of her slew of top 10 hits. Throughout 2012, dance music enthusiasts received remixes of Del Rey's tracks, turning her sweet sound into dance-worthy beats with the help of Gesaffelstein , RAC and AlunaGeorge to name a few. Dancing Astronaut staffers took note of [...]

![Best of 2012: Remixes [Top 12]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4692200_lg.jpg)
Last year was the first time that I did a "Best of" Remixes. So why not do it again this year. I am a sucker for songs being remixed and probably giving a bit of life to. You may agree or disagree on this list. Besides it might make you dance to it. So here it is my Top 12 Remixes of 2012. 1. Florence + The Machine - Spectrum (Say My Name) [Calvin Harris Remix] [...]
When I met with André Allen Anjos (left) aka RAC ( R emix A rtist C ollective), he was a few beers into his night. RAC is one of the most prolific remixers in music and he has recently ventured into making his own material. RAC remixes are always a favorite of mine, so I was psyched to talk with Andre. Listen to our chat. (FYI: Beer makes this sweet guy very candid.) the interview show with RAC RAC (ft Penguin [...]

André Allen Anjos, aka RAC, has made a name for himself by creating some of the most evocative and creative remixes in the music world. Each remix he puts out masterfully grasps the most important aspects of the original song, all the while giving it an entirely fresh and fluid sound. It makes sense, then, that Anjos is finally venturing into the realm of original content, the first taste of which is his debut single 'Hollywood'. The song, which features vocals from Penguin Prison's Chris Glover, was a seamless evolution from the remixes RAC has been making for the past [...]
Hello again everyone. I know it's been a while, but I'm happy to be back with you once again to share a great selection of songs that have been running around my head for the past couple weeks. First up is this captivating video for Nicolas Jaar's "Darkside A-1." On this track, Jaar's deep and atmospheric backdrop blends flawlessly with the heavily saturated guitar riffs of collaborator Dave Harrington to create swelling soundscapes and some relentlessly catchy hooks. This video adds some interesting visual tones to the song and does a good job of capturing the track's many changing [...]
Despite all the stick Lana Del Rey gets when it comes to remixes her songs seem to lend themselves perfectly. The last time we featured the Brooklyn starlet was with this I Am A Camera's storming version of 'Born To Die'. Cougar favorite RAC offers his own suave take on the track 'Blue Jeans' and it's everything you could [...]
Penguin Prison's Chris Glover continues to place top electronic tracks at the top of remix-lovers playlists for quite some time now and we've noticed. DJs love remixing his already pop-and-lock jams, fans can't get enough of his almost constant products and we want to help shed some extra light on his work. In appreciation of this club-worthy artist, we've compiled the best remixes out there. For us, this list has some dance hall worthy tracks, but it also slows it down. Half come from remixes of Penguin Prison and half are by him, and they span back to [...]
Posted in Music Box J'aime beaucoup cette chanson / Fine Music Selection & Homemade Mixes. Après une semaine de repos absolument pas méritée, je reprends possession des lieux, ce qui n'a rien de scandaleux puisque que ce sont MES lieux. Alors reprenons, si vous le voulez bien. Au début du bois de mai, un énorme séisme a secoué la blogosphère musicale, un truc gigantesque comme le tsunami japonais, qu'on avait pas du tout prévu, mais qui est [...]
