U2 should have got Justice to produce their latest album. In this remix “Get On Your Boots” is transformed from an admittedly boring single to a unique and complex tune that is far better than the original! Check it out at Stereogum:
Electronica has long been “used” by the American public as background music or dance-hall fodder. The evolution of the genre has brought about Miami, FL’s organicArma - an integrated, intellectual and playful group that invites listeners to experience electronic music for a new millennium. organicArma play electronic music unlike anyone else on the scene today. The band performs their music live on actual instruments, with all three members of the band serving multiple roles (composer, producer, arranger, and performer).
In an in depth interview, organicArma discuss their thoughts about music, reality and philosophy as band. continue reading...

In advance of Fist of God, the follow-up to 2006’s landmark The Looks, Toronto dancefloor juggernaut MSTRKRFT is set to release a Maxi Single of club-banging blog fave, and F’N MTV theme song, “Bounce.” The eight-track offering, due via Dim Mak Records on October 7th, features the original N.O.R.E. and Isis of Thunderheist-assisted track, released in April, “Vuvuvu,” and a plethora of remixes from rising stars in the dance community. For the uninitiated, MSTRKRFT is the production/DJ team of Toronto musician Jesse F. Keller and studio wizard Al-P. Their 2006 smash The Looks blurred boundaries between punk, house, hip-hop, grime, electro, and all kinds of electronic experimentation. Since forming, the team of Keller and Al-P have remixed a veritable who’s who of musical trendsetters – John Legend and Andre 3000, The Gossip, Justice, Usher, Wolfmother, The Crystal Method, Chromeo, Armand Van Helden, Kylie Minogue, Annie, Bloc Party, and Metric. The Bounce maxi single finds a few of MSTRKRFT’s friends returning the favor, with “Bounce” remixes from the likes of French up-and-comers High Powered Boys, MK labelmates Bloody Beetroots, and Vancouver-based rising star Felix Cartal, whose contribution to the release was premiered this morning on RCRDLBL and can be downloaded below. continue reading...
