All Around The World

Even more Villains this time around, it seems like you can't check out a music blog without running into a new, great remix from them. This post has some of the real highlights of my latest blog crawl (holler at NME and Buzz en Direkt). Also included, one of the best songs from Phoenix lately; namely the one they put out for free in advance of their record in late march. Enjoy.

My genre of the day: Villains Remixes

What you need to be listening to:

Little Bit (Villains Remix) - Lykke Li
To anyone keeping track, it's obvious I'm a sucker for the original Little Bit and all its remixes. Villains put its signature touches on the song with a tight bassline.

Boom Boom Pow (Boys Noize Remix) - Black Eyed Peas feat. 50 Cent & Ciroc Obama
At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about this track, especially because I wasn't the biggest fan of the original. The grittiness of it has grown on me though, and 50's flow is a sharp addition. The download doesn't have the Youtube's shout outs.

Quicksand (Joe and Will Ask? Remix) - La Roux
Another stand-up La Roux remix following in the tracks of Skream, Hostage, etc. Adds some good melodic, electro energy to make it flow better than the original.

And now for some Phoenix:

1901 - Phoenix



NEXT POST: Coming super soon. New Dizzee Rascal, for sure and some new hip-hop fire.

Ach Ja or Nicht Nicht?

Eurodance. It's kind of a guilty pleasure, but hey some of it's actually good.

A perfect example from Gunther and the Sunshine Girls (pic above, trust me he needs the huge pic):

Just kidding, though it's great in it's own way.

On a completely unrelated note, I figured out more stuff about subscribing. If you do it by e-mail, you'll get an e-mail at the end of the day if and only if, there's a new post/are new posts. So it won't spam you up. Ballin'. In related news, you can actually find this by googling "runbpm" as one word. My next goal? Getting "run-bpm" to turn it up too. UPDATE: Google links to the latest post, so you actually need to click on the archive to get to the rest if you come through google.

My genre of the day: Eurodance

What you need to be listening to:

Just a disclaimer, none of these songs are as ridiculous as actual Eurodance, and are actually more housey than anything else. In fact, they are house. I promise they don't suck.

But they are very energetic and European club. And not very new.

Show Me Love (Club Mix feat. Robin S) - Mobin Masters
A good club remix of the Show Me Love, which is also a great song in it's own right. Keeps the same ridiculously catchy riff and adds some piano and strings.

Redlight (Club Mix) - Ian Carey
Sounds like it could come from Eric Prydz (the Call On Me guy; there will definitely be some of him in future posts). The club mix is a bit long, but clubby.

Arabian Adventure 2 - DJ Antoine
An older song from the Swiss DJ with a thick Arabian (don't hold me to that) string bit over a banging beat. Starts off slow, but speeds up when the beat drops.

Love Shy (Paul Emanuel Remix) - Platnum
A song that's been remixed a million and one times, this is the best electro-house version out there from one half of remix dons Haji & Emanuel. Catchy melody over a sharp beat.

Also, you should be listening to:

The Boogie That Be - The Black Eyed Peas
Absolutely nothing to do with anything but it's tight and stuck in my head right now. Plus, I think it's a pretty popular song.
