The Chuckness

Theophilus London jumps on The xx’s “You’ve Got The Love” to create one of the better tracks I’ve heard recently. It’s a perfect blend of two distinct styles, and has me wondering why artists like this don’t get together more often. If Theophilus London can just jack The xx’s beat and turn it into something this listenable, then you should be able to put both acts in a studio and come up with something special.

Last night, nominations to the 53rd Grammy awards were announced. To my surprise, Axwell & Dirty South’s remix of Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition” was nominated for best remix. Im stoked to see both of these producers get some recognition for their musical talent. This track is without a doubt, one of the hottest tracks of the year. Its hard to imagine that neither Axwell nor Dirty South wanted this remix to get released, as they thought “it was shit.” [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: The Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition (Axwell & Dirty South Remix) Tweet

A smooth track right here that takes the a little taste of Johnny Polygon, Cudi and The Soundmen, and stirs them together into one. Johnny Polygon is looking to make a splash in the new year, and working with Cudi is generally a solid way to generate some buzz. Good call on his part.

I just came across this remix to Bruno Mars’ “Grenade” in my inbox today, and while it’s not that different from the original, it’s still a keeper. There’s no denying that Bruno Mars is poised to have an enormous 2011, and “Grenade” should do nothing but help his cause. Hit the stream and download below.

Robyn has been taking over the European club scene for the past few years, and I just got a hold of A-Trak’s recent remix to “Indestructible”…it’s a certified jam. I’ve been lacking lately in gems of questionable sexual orientation, but this is helping out significantly. Hit the stream and download below.

Breakbot aka Thibaut Berland is a French producer and DJ. I really admire when DJ’s come onto the scene bringing something new and fresh. This parisian producer cooks up choice cut electronic music, experimenting with beats, layers, keyboards, vocals, and Daft Punk-esque get-yo-funk-on basslines. Last year Breakbot signed with Busy P’s own Ed Banger Records, the home of legends such as Justice, Sebastian, Mr. Oizo, and Uffie. This hairy, jesus-looking frenchman is stocked full of surprises, so keep an eye out. Holla.

This weekend I had the privilege to DJ with my good friends Savoy at a sold out show in their hometown of Boulder, Colorado. This rapidly up and coming live electronic trio is taking the US by storm right now. This weekend included a mind-boggling lazer filled, sold out run at both the Fox in Boulder, and The Ogden Theatre in Denver. Over the past year, they have performed a handful of shows with Pretty Lights, some of the biggest dance music festivals in the US including Electric Daisy Carnival, and a co-headline spot at Global Dance Festival at Red Rocks. Catch these guys in … Continue reading →

Words cannot describe the whirlwind of success Avicii has had in the past year. This 22 year old Swede is the mastermind behind dance floor monsters such as “Bromance” and “Hang with Me,” whom are getting serious plays by the biggest names in house music (Swedish House Mafia, Tiesto, Laidback Luke).  Also producing under his real name “Tim Berg,” Avicii has released a flurry of bangers which are forces to be reckoned with. Not only does this kid’s productions frequently top my personal charts, but he is also living proof to my ongoing theory: The bigger you get in Sweden, … Continue reading →

We posted this original song a while back, and it’s entirely cracked out. Just listening to the original version makes you feel like you’re on some kind of wild acid trip. Jimbo stumbled across this Erol Alkan remix today, and in my opinion it’s 400 times better than the original. All in all, it’s just way more listenable and more friendly to the ears. Give it a shot, let me know what you think. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: MGMT – Congratulations (Erol Alkan Remix) [via] Tweet
