Here's a great track for you I've been listening to recently. Its not new or anything, just something I think you should be aware of, especially if you're called Ben.

I'm finding it hard to keep up to be honest. Having stumbled across Cut Copy a few months ago, I'm suddenly been bombarded with Australian electro-pop from all sides. However, far from sidestepping this onslaught of Aussie shaped meteors, I find myself bowled over by their charms and lie helplessly as they strike me, just simply embracing their glory. Yes. I like this stuff! I think I notice a handy theme arising for a themed mixtape =)
Today then, I bring you Ladyhawke who is a lady from Sydney who likes cats, videogames and, fortunately for us, making music. Things seem to have kicked off with her track "Paris is Burning" which has been remixed all over the place. So for download today is two of those remixes (one from fellow Aussies Cut Copy and another from French DJ/producer Alex Gopher) and a brilliant remix of "Back of the Van" from Van She Tech. Go find your dancing shoes now please.

The Whip were one of my favourite acts at Glastonbury this year. Two of their songs in particular caught my eye (ear?) - Trash and Blackout, which both build slowly to these massive dance-floor crescendos. Like many other bands these days, The Whip have dabbled in a bit of remixing and you can listen to their efforts on their remixes myspace. To be honest I don't think the remixes are all that impressive, although The Editor's track isn't bad. See what you think. You get the impression there's quite a lot more to come from these guys anyway. I'll keep you posted.

This is a cracking tune! Disco Sirens from DJ Damian Harris a.k.a. Midfield General makes me rush for the nearest dance floor whenever I hear it (often with embarrassing consequences). Ooof! Yes. And if you start getting a cheeky bit bored of the original (or just knackered from running to dance floors) I've cracked open a couple of remixes for you...

And while were at it, turns out Noel Fielding from the Mighty Boosh has lent his fantastically bizarre sense of humour to a couple of Midfield General tracks. I am overjoyed. Cheeseplant. Ha.
