Bag Raiders - Whitenoise Remix
One of the things I’m going to miss the most leaving Australia is hearing Bag Raiders every weekend when I go out… The first time I heard Fun Puch it blew my mind, and ya, it still does every time I hear it! This is my favorite remix by Sydney’s Whitenoise…. It’s a little bit heavier and just as hands up in the air awesome as the original!
Bag Raiders - Fun Punch...

MGMT + Justice!
What a dream team! Justice brings their trademark sound to the hit MGMT track… sounds as good as you would expect. MGMT - Electric Feel (Justice Remix) (zshare) this is just a 3 minute clip, but I’m sure the real thing will be all over the place real soon…
Booka Shade
Booka Shade are amazing! I feel totally cheesy saying this but they put so much positive emotion into their music. Haha i guess it just brings out that side of me… The music isn’t cheesy or built up at all though! Think Orbital more than Oakenfold. Their new album The Sun and The Neon Light comes out today. I love how Booka Shade tracks go off in the club but you can play them...
Teenagers in Tokyo Remix!
Check out this new remix of Sydney girl band Teenagers in Tokyo! I love Teenagers in Tokyo… I still listen to ‘Very Vampyr’ all the time, but I am going to have to switch it up to the remix for a while! dCup turns the sort of goth original into a sweet Bang Gang stlye Australian house track! Teenagers in Tokyo - Very Vampyr (dCup Remix) (zshare) Teenagers in Tokyo - Very...
Zeitgeist
A lot of people compare Zeitgeist with The Knife. They are both from Sweden, both do a crazy costumed live show, and make sort of similar sounding hard hitting synth pop. Getting compared to The Knife definitely means Zeitgeist is doing something right! Anyways, they don’t sound exactly the same. Really they’re just both Swedish and good! Check out the video for Zeitgeist’s...
Foals + Bufi
Bufi just posted this sweet choppy Foals remix on his Le Touch blog. I love the Foals… I have been waiting for a new remix to give me an excuse to post some tracks from their new album. Anyways this Bufi remix is more than an excuse… I think i like it even better than the original! Foals - Electric Bloom (Bufi Remix) (zshare) Foals - Electric Bloom (original) (zshare) I love this...
Shy Child
I am so psyched to have Shy Child to listen to over and over again! They make awesome polished and catchy indie rock rave pop. Like NYC’s answer to The Tough Alliance!

Shy Child - Cause And Effect (zshare) Shy Child - The Volume (zshare) Also,...
Late of the Pier
Late of the Pier just released this double A sided single produced by Erol Alkan. One of these tracks sounds like the White Stripes, and the other sounds like Gary Numan. I swear to God.

I Am Finn - Van She Remix
I Am Finn sounds like a pop punk version of the Human League. So ya, he’s pretty cool on his own. Check out some of his tracks on his myspace. This is the Van She remix his track though, and it’s something else entirely! This track is so good it’s going to get played till you hate it! I Am Finn - I Love You (Van She Tech Remix) (zshare)

Boy 8-Bit
Boy 8-Bit makes electro/house tracks with big fat wobbly garage basslines, chopped up rave breaks, and b-more club style chants. If I was explaining to someone how to make an awesome song that’s pretty much exactly what I would say to do! This Devil’s Gun remix has some sweet pitched vocals and the fattest 808 bassline since 1996! Every time I hear this out I want to yell out for...

Heartsrevolution
I always thought Heartsrevolution was a little bit too punk rock for me, but i can’t help but love their new track! The vocals are super catchy, and the track is heavy as shit with some sweet choppy beats. What more could you ask for? Seriously i have had this on repeat for like 2 days. It’s out now on pink vinyl! Heartsrevolution - Switchblade (zshare)
A-Trak
A-Trak is so fucking sweet it’s hard to even find a place to start.. He won the Technics/DMC world championship when he was 15, he’s Kanye West’s tour DJ, he makes beats for Kid Sister, and he runs the ultra fresh label Fools Gold. Like you didn’t already know… Anyways he makes sweet dance remixes too, the Boys Noize and Sinden...
Russ Chimes
Listening to Russ Chimes makes me feel like i am driving 200 mph with Kim Foster in the passenger seat and a hundred kilos of cocaine in the trunk… The 80s have to go out of style eventually, but the next time they come back in this is probably what all the music is going to sound like. Russ has a few more at his myspace, and College has some good shit as well! They both come from the...
Louis La Roché
This seventeen year old kid from the UK makes super-french filter house that sounds like it comes straight out of 1997. His whole ‘Peach EP’ is availiable for free download! What a cool guy! Louis La Roché - Peach (zshare) Louis La Roché - Get On Down (zshare) ….Louis La Roché on myspace.

Fluo - Les Gens Pour Ce Quils Sont (Designer Drugs Remix) (zshare) Hail Social - Heaven (Designer Drugs Remix) (zshare)
Keenhouse
The lyrics to this trip me out… Keenhouse is real wierd but definitely in a good way! This is music I could see that cartoon band from the Daft Punk movie playing. I don’t think it could be any more funky… Keenhouse - Deep In The Forest (zshare)
Hall and Oates vs. Obie Trice
I love Hall and Oates, but I love them even more when Obie Trice is rapping over their tracks. This song is massive and Obie is funny as fuck! Mashup by Popchop Hall and Oates vs Obie Trice - Gots Some Teeth (Popchop Mashup) (zshare)
