Electro-break goodies!


So this week, the theme will switch from the indie-rock to the electro kitsch. Pretty funny word. Kitsch. Sounds like something you use one pinch of in a recipe. Well, it’s not. It means funky. Weird. Whatever you wanna call it. This stuff is pretty cool. So, instead of reading my droll ramblings? How about I bring you this music?

First off is something I’ve recently stumbled on. If anyone isn’t aware of who the Stanton Warriors are, then here’s a good cue to what they may be like. Basically, it’s breaks. Toss in a bit of electro feel? There you go. Well, this is their take on the classic Beach Boys song “Good Vibrations”. It’s not bad, but definitely something a bit different than what you may expect. Give this one a listen!

Next up is something from the boys of Soulwax. And of the robot helmet wearing duo of Daft Punk. Now, this is more a reworking than a legit remix. It still has a great feel to it, though. It’s been sped up, some rehashing of the samples throughout. More dance friendly. Which, for the Soulwax guys? Is what they wanted. If you’re a fan of either group, check out this stompin’ work. Dance your little butts off, children!

Now, get your ass in gear. Help the economy. Stimulus shit. That crap. You’re not a real American unless you buy fifteen flags in various sizes and an album by the above. Big Brother is watching you! Don’t be a dick!

Rebels have more fun

Here’s one that’s short and to the point. Ever heard of Soulwax? No? Well, they’ve been around for a while and have been at the forefront of the bastardized genre of eletro. They’ve done remixes for the likes of Daft Punk and LCD Soundsystem, and have remixed one of my favorite artists – David Bowie.

This remix, of “Rebel Rebel”, will be on a future compilation entitled Most of the Other Remixes. I haven’t seen a release date on it, but have seen that there will be remixes they’ve done for Bowie, Miss Kittin, MGMT, and more. Enjoy! Oh, and be warned, the start of the song is super screechy and a bit harsh.

And well, buy some stuff. Make Obama’s stimulus crap seem like it makes sense. Or something like that.
