Remix Sunday: 02

Good evening everyone, hope you are all well. At the moment im currently suffering from a lovely case of man flu, which has me moaning alot about how cold the flat is even when it's hotter than normal and just generally being a guy who is ill. I would have thought by now that there would be some lovely cure for colds of flu, at the moment i'm all out of lemsips and paracetemol

Now my rant is over, this week has been an interesting big through the crates as well as some brand new stuff that i have been hearing on the blogs. Lets get involved and have a rundown on whats been going through my headphones this week.

Thom Yorke - The Eraser (Xxxchange Remix)
From the album: "The Eraser"

First on the track list is a previously mentioned (see Office Thursday: 02 from this week). As is said the remix itself may have some purists having a knock at what is essentially a compliment on the track. The song didn't really need a remix of it, and there have been some horrific attempts at doing so, but this is one of the first that is worth tracking down. Read the previous entry for more information, and have a good listen.


Silversun Pickups - Lazy Eyes
From the album: "Silversun Pickups"

Silversun Pickups are a four piece indie band from L.A that caught my attention late one night with thier excellent video for this song. its a smooth melodic track that could have fallen out of a Kings Of Leon CD of B sides or even some of the softer Smashing Pumpkins work. It has been on repeat now for a good couple of days just for the calmness of it, followed by a great build up. If you are not a fan of the song, at least watch the video, there is really something about it.


Daft Punk - Face To Face
From the album: "Discovery"
Watch the video: Youtube

Daft punk are one of my favourite groups, the albums to me just don't ever get get tired to me. i was digging this out when i was humming it away while i was filing this week. Theres no other words about Daft Punk that i need to write. it's all good.


Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place
From the album "In Rainbow"

Dare i say it, i don't think that the new Radiohead album is actually all that good. Im a huge fan of the band and as Gareth previously wrote, the bands approach of distributing the new album has bought up a lot of questions with the need for record labels and so on. However the song on the mixtape this week is to me, one of the stand out tracks of the album, it feels like a classic track that could have been on Kid A or even OK Computer. It's really worth a listen to, and i'd recommend buying the album too, for anyone else who is reading this to take it in. Im not a fan but you might be.


M83 - Run Into Flowers (Midnight fuck Remix by Jackson)
From the Album: "Dead Cities, Red Seas And Lost Ghosts"
Watch the video: Youtube

I'll be honest, i don't know very much about M83, i have only heard odds and ends on the radio and listening to hypem. The original version of this song is incredibly hypnotic, ambient and liquid that it could be butter melting in a pan. Jacksons take on this track is simple in many ways, but adds a nice little twist to it, with a staggered beat and typical Jackson style bloops and bleeps.


the Human League - The Things That Dreams Are Made Of
From the album: "Dare!"
Watch the video: "Youtube" (live)

There isn't much to say about this track musically, its a classic 80's tune that still does not get tired and sounds great today. I have been humming this song since last saturday when i was spinning it at the 18th wedding anniversary. It's an excellent track and thats all there is to say.


The Source Feat. Candi Staton - you Got The Love (Original Remix)

A classic track to finish off the mixtape, everyone has heard this track, it's a crowd pleaser and brings a smile to anyones face on the dance floor. All you need to hear is the first few seconds of the song to know what it is. There are many other remixes of this song but this to me is the best. Listening to this on the tram to work is a small godsend in a way while im reading the metro.

Thats all for now, speak to you next week.
