Datarock - I Used to Dance with My Daddy (Metal on Metal Remake)

datarockmetalonmetal Datarock - I Used to Dance with My Daddy (Metal on Metal Remake)

Norwegian dance rockers Datarock are playing in L.A. tonight (at the Troubadour) and that’s the perfect excuse to share this ‘re-make’ that Metal on Metal sent us last month of the Datarock tune, ‘I Used to Dance with My Daddy’. I’ve played it dozens of times and knew I had to post it sooner or later. Then again, the source material is down right amazing on it’s own. You can stream Datarock’s entire album, as well as purchase digital downloads, on their MySpace. If you’re like me and want hard copies, the self-titled album will be for sale June 16th, and you can pre-order via Amazon (they have the Fa-Fa-Fa Remixes collection too). Do it! It’s one of the finest Indie/Electro-Rock records to come out lately.

On to the re-make that’s not on the album:

After Tonight’s L.A. show Datarock is off for a tour through Europe; The dates are on their MySpace, so go!

Also worth hype is remixer/remaker Metal on Metal. These Lithuanian producers are on the come up right now, and have recently made the jump from bedroom producer to professional producer. Now with official remixes for Tim Deluxe, released on Skint Records and a New Young Pony Club, ‘Ice Cream’ remake which will be released July 2nd through Modular Records. Give it a preview below—it’s butt quality (96kbps) so get at your Modular Peoples soon for a legit copy:

Their original track ‘No Front Teeth’ sounds like a great Missingtoof theme song, eh? It’s got a nice remix by Nightmoves but give the original a listen:
