Sharp corners

Today is a little different. More tracks, less talk. But hey, it’s my birthday, so I’m in charge, right? Here we go:
- The Golden Filter – Thunderbird
I’ve been waiting patiently for The Golden Filter to drop something new forever. Now they’re back to take over the blogosphere. Rougher and less polished texture, but same sense [...]

Not my photo, not my type of concert (Slipknot, that is), but a pretty cool photo. High five to Christian Steen
If you’ve been wondering why the activity level on here suddenly dropped, it’s because I’ve been spending the last week in the dust at Roskilde Festival. After an intense week of about 20 concerts, I’m [...]

Just a brief post with some excellent music. I’m going to Roskilde tomorrow, so things will be quiet on here for a while. I may sneak out an occasional tweet, but I’ll be taking a break with the posting.
If you aren’t fortunate enough to attend this fine festival, I’ll give you a hint of the [...]

Thin White Duke remixes and pool parties

May 30, 2009

Can anyone come up with an act that’s more free-spirited and summer-appropriate than jumping in the pool? It’s probably not that hard.. If I can just stick with the Friendly Fires track, I’m perfectly happy. Jump in the Pool is easily one of my favourites from their début, but remix-wise I haven’t [...]

GRUM beefs up Skeleton Boy

April 26, 2009

GRUM deserves some credit for funking up Friendly Fires’ Skeleton Boy. I never really understood why Skeleton Boy was chosen as a single, but after this remix it makes more sense.
The disco feel definitely suits the vocals although I feel that the arrangement needs a finishing touch. I still imagine this would make your average [...]

Aeroplane kills it with Sebastian Tellier remix

January 14, 2009

I know I said that Designer Drugs will dominate 2009, but if anyone’s going to hold their hands and conquer the world along with them, it’s definitely Aeroplane. The Belgian duo already killed it with some amazing remixes that you probably already know and love, and if you need any sort of reminder I can [...]

Justus Köhncke reworks Friendly Fires

January 7, 2009

Prepare to enter a hurricane of sounds when you listen to this track. Justus Köhncke’s remix of Friendly Fires’s Paris (remember the Aeroplane remix?) is easily recognizable yet remarkably different from the original. The first three minutes are actually quite a pleasant listen, with the percussion is flying on top of the “fade-out” synths (that [...]

I finally managed to collect my thoughts and create a top 10 with my favorite remixes of 2008. Looking back, there has been an amazing amount of great remixes in 2008, which resulted in a difficult process of choosing, but here’s the list. I would love to hear from you, whether you agree or disagree, [...]

I have missed We Have Band

November 23, 2008

And I’m terribly sorry for that. I don’t know how I’ve managed to avoid blogging about them, because their music is so damn good. I remember that they friended me on Myspace a looong time ago, but I managed to forget about them before they got all buzzed up, and now they’re practically everywhere. But [...]
