L.A. badguys, Villains are doing big things since their introduction just two months ago. Regular hometown heroes they are (leave it to L.A. to make the Villians our heroes). This past Saturday, on the L.A. based radio station Indie 103.1’s premier electro music program, Neon Noise, Villains graced the airwaves with another solid set (hot on the heels from their gigs at Sundance Film Festival). This small-but-potent mix is what transpired.

MP3: Villains - Maximum Mini Mega Mix [22:04 | 50.5MB]

Villains are a hot commodity in ‘08. They’re entering the ranks of globetrotting talent, radio mixshow champs (see above) and making the “best of” from here to Spin Magazine which is calling ‘Thrilla’ one of the few “songs you need to download now!” for February. You’ve downloaded this jam before, right? But in the chance you haven’t, get it here. Major!

Villains did this remix for S.D. electro-rockers Buddy Akai recently and we’re all about it. More from Buddy Akai from us shortly, but let this peak your interest:
