Design credit: Electrik SuicideE’rybodys favorite electro thrashers, Crystal Castles, are hitting So. Cal. before taking an aeroplane to tour Europe. All this partying to promote their recent self-titled debut release. We’re stoked to have some some recent Crystal Castles tracks and remixes from L.A.’s LAZRtag (which is one part Luvtek, of ‘Do It At The Disco‘ mixtape fame and one part StellarDRV). LAZRtag have done nice ‘lectro’d up work of ‘Crimewave’, a track that can be fully credited to HEALTH and Crystal Castles as mash-up/remix, now remixed once again.

And for the DJs (that’s everybody nowadays, right?), a friendly edit from N.Y.’s FITFORUSE (of ‘That’s Corny!’ mixtape fame).

MP3: Crystal Castles – Good Times (FITFORUSE Edit)
Sample this album cut, ‘Courtship Dating’, a track that we controversially linked to Timbaland’s ‘AYO Technology’ last September. I guess that’s old news by now, so we’ve brought that post back (no longer contraband, we hope). What do you think?
