Don Rimini’s remix of “Hardcore Girls” is kinda funny because it starts out all expected and then goes off into vampire rave mode and you forget you’re in a Count & Sinden track till he brings it back at the end… til it bounces out into space. A couple brilliant moment in the span of five minutes:

The Count & Sinden - “Hardcore Girls” (featuring Rye Rye) (Don Rimini Nasty Boy remix)

OK. BIGSTEREO has official reached creepy stalker levels with our posts on Little Boots. It’s almost embarrassing really. If only she didn’t make blogging so easy with super good and accessible material. Really, there’s nothing I can say that you don’t already know or I haven’t been all like BLAH BLAH BLAH before.

“Bring It On” is the rework/remake/remix of the Leon Jean-Marie that we got our first taste of on Ms. Boots Computer Fairyland Mixtape back in August and been dying for an mp3 since then. Thank god:

Little Boots - “Bring It On”

And then the king of bastard pop mixes — Richard X himself — has mixed up Little Boots with Opus III that only seems obvious after the fact:

It’s a Fine Day:

Dragonette is coming to America which means we get to live the promo cycle for Galore again — the silver lining of delayed North American releases. I’m pretty sure The Whip’s remix of “Competition” is new this time around, though I could be wrong, but whatever — it’s the best “Competition” remix I’ve heard to date. The Whip takes the track from pure guiltless electro pop to glitchy dark neon electro mix. Fall for Dragonette again:

Ah, and here’s an “oldie”, but it’s good a second time:

Dragonette - “I Get Around”

Galore out October 28th in the USA on I Surrender Records.

Aw, Cruel Black Dove kinda reminds me of Scanners — or digging further back maybe PJ Harvey. Or maybe just Cruel Black Dove. But anyway, definitely some much needed dark soul rock that’s filling a void in my music collection.

RCRD LBL has a Clapp remix worth checking out here or stream it after the Jump »»

Tech-Noir is the club from Terminator. Tech-Noir Mixtape is what djs La Grève Générale would play there. Android dance party, watch out Sarah Connor.

I kinda wasn’t into Magic Wands til I heard their “Teenage Love” — actually, I was really into Magic Wands on a visual level but wasn’t so much into “Black Magic.” “Teenage Love” brought the visual and audio together into one of those perfect music aha moments that I felt the need to share and experience the song with everybody I know — and you. I wish my journey with Magic Wands began with “Teenage Love”:

Magic Wands kinda reminds me of those bread and butter 90’s bands that I grew up on like Belly and EARLY Beck. Kinda.

“Black Magic” kinda makes me cringe. I really love the first 30 seconds and then it looses me. Not my fav but worth noting:

Magic Wands - “Black Magic”

Magic Wands is on tour with the Black Kids and CSS (not at the same time) — so yeah, they’re hyped.

Little Boots + Designer Drugs = blog bro party? Little Boots and Designer Drugs may both be the current blog darlings — so no doubt this remix will be everywhere. Like it should be…

LITTLE BOOTS - “MEDDLE” (DESIGNER DRUGS 80’s COKE JAM REMIX)

Little Boot’s debut USA release comes out on IAMSOUND in November!! This remix won’t be on it. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy it.

We can’t always stay the same. So. How brilliant is this video? For like fifty different reasons. Evolution, genetics, food, you are what you eat… aw, it’s all here.

AutoKratz’s album is out now on Kitsune. Buy it.

We used to blog about the Teenagers all the time. And then we didn’t for a long time. I wonder what happened? Let’s be honest with ourselves and admit that the Teenagers are a novelty act. That’s why you love them or hate them but are never indifferent. It is also why I am sitting here wondering if they will continue down the same road with the same jokes or if they will end up surprising us all with something entirely new and different. Or will they break our hearts and disband and do solo projects that we secretly only half heartily enjoy. I don’t know. Let’s be cliche and say time will tell.

Anyway. Here’s an mp3 of Twins remixing “Make It Happen” — the tweets make me think of Spring which then makes me depressed because I look out my window and see the leaves falling off trees. Boo to Winter. Well, I guess this one is appropriate for all you kids south of the equator — enjoy your Spring:
