Mille - Crysteena






The crystals never stop shining in the realm of electronic music. Mille's track is at least six months old and is now blowing up in the sphere of blogs. Smooth Scandinavian production values combined with glittering treble, these are not new age crystals but rather addictive little buggers which bond with eardrums leaving the listener fiending for MORE! Check out more remixes MySpace music.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix)






Bangers come and go but Karen O's presence on this A-Trak, best DJ of all-time according to his trophy case, solidify this remix into eternal bangerdom. After a few shrieks and high pitched yells from Karen the steel I-beam manufacturing melody overwhelms the listener until they feel like King Louis the XVI. Scope the track and lose your skull.

Miike Snow - Miike Snow


























Miike Snow's debut album is a smash hit, so naturally I steered as far away from this cut as I could. Then I gave in after asking about one of his tracks at an Urban Outfitters and decided to give it a listen; naturally, I hated the album. For some reason or another it still ended up on shuffle and I was forced to listen in which is when I realized this album is a real pop-banger (if there is such a thing). The production on these tracks is incredible, Miike Snow (not the name of any member of the group) would have gotten away with a classic album even without the lyrics. Personally I am a huge hater of almost all lyrics, unless they some how include the references to 'electricity' or 'tonuge,' but I actually catch myself singing along with these tracks, and embarrassingly caught myself with a skip in my step while going to class and bumping 'Animal,' Miike Snow's noteworthy single.

Sleigh Bells - 2HELLWU




















I have been really lazy about updates recently, but once finals are over next Thursday there will be a handful of new albums and remixes for you beezies to get your hands on.

This group is called Sleigh Bells, it consists of two members on guitars and vocals with the perpetually dirty drum beats recorded in the... foreground? The distortion on these tracks is normal, they are the studio versions and contain more grit than a sandpaper factory. The chicks' vocals are intense and a little scary, invoking feelings that make you want to either 'dance for your life' or curl up in a corner and accept your own personal apocalypse. personal favorites are 'Crown on the Ground' and 'Beach Girls.'

Disco-House Revival




























Alright so this whole disco-house music craze is blowing up and I have to admit, I am a huge fan. These tracks have some real power to 'em, enough to get even the most cynical people to groove to the weird nostalgic electronic mess of rhythms.

First up is this Bobby Analog track called Break Addict. The intro is a little abrasive but once the melody drops it's a real headbanger. I can't find much information about this artist other than people dig it he is unsigned.

Bobby Analog - Break Addict

Second is this track by Rockets called Golden Strings. This track is the real thing, pumping beats underneath a montage of catchy disco melodies. I even like the Cover art, very descriptive of the tunes.

Rockets - Golden Strings

Next is another mp3 link (sorry no albums from these guys yet) from a group called Palermo Disko Machine. This track has a little bit of an extensive intro but gets down to it eventually and is well worth the weight. Apparently Palermo Disko Machine consists of Jens from another band called Digitalism, in case you were interested.

Last but certainly not least is this hour long mixtape from Only Children, one the of the best mixtapes to come out of Chicago in a long time. I didn't catch any of the Chi-town references until GiMiTRi pointed it out, but if you look at the cover art it is filled with them. This mix is simply incredible, an hour of pure grooving that literally only gets better and dirtier as it moves along. A VERY HIGHLY suggested download, I think you can even stream it from the link. Safety.

I don't normally check out blogs that have nothing to do with music, which makes me wonder how the hell I even came across this site. Irreguardless this blog is incredible, it's filled to the brim with riveting stories of sex, drugs, and real life. She writes well, is honest, hilarious, and knows how to get down. ABSOLUTELY worth checking out, just don't look at it when you have to cram for a test all day. words.
