Cassette Culture Old

I know you've heard it before but this is special because we actuallly had some internationally renound DJ talent in Cardiff the other night (which doesn't happen often enough). The Count & Siden paid us a visit in Clwb Ifor Bach and it was certainly something special. Here's Beeper:


The Count & Siden - Beeper

Amazingly, within the space of a week, we've also been blessed by a visit from the Annie Mac Presents tour featuring none other than Fake Blood, who I posted about sometime last week for the Little Boots remix. A quick search on Hype Machine reveals coincidently that Fake Blood has remixed Beeper. So here's Beeper again, Fake Blood remix:

And while were at it, this is a great FB remix of Amand Van Helden's "I Want Your Soul":

I'm a big fan of MGMT, they've brought psychadelic electro music up to the frontline, you might even say mainstream. And that's always good because it means you might hear it somewhere like the gym, which makes a welcome break from Justin Timberlake and chums. Most importantly though, when I saw them live in Cardiff last year, they created such a stunning mesh of sounds that I think I would have fallen over had I not been crammed in amongst wide-eyed admirers.

Anyway, that was all a long time ago, but the other day, this arrived and the world can go mental again.

So this remix appeared in my inbox the other day from Cryptonites - who, from the lack of information about them on the Internet, appear to want to remain quite anonymous. The Swiss pair remixed this track in April for Manchester/London band Futurecop!'s EP but it was pulled from the final release. Its a great track have a mosey:

We met Miami Horror recently - checkout this remix of Pnau's track "Embrace" with Fred Falke. MH is an Australian DJ/Producer from Melbourne who has recently conjured up a host of remixes leading up to the release new album Bravado which should be along shortly. Here's a cheeky preview track from Bravado and a couple of my favourite MH remixes.


Miami Horror - Don't Be On With Her


Grafton Primary - I Can Cook (Miami Horror remix)


Midnight Juggernauts - Road to Recovery (Miami Horror remix)

I've come to realise as I listen to more and more electro music that you need to have a balance of upbeat songs and more chilled out stuff. Too many beats = big headache. This is all building up to Cassette Culture's next mixtape which is going to be a more chilled out, spacey tape. For now, be content with this:
