Indie darlings, Mystery Jets, have a new video and single on the cusp with a March 10th release date. The track is produced by, the man, Erol Alkan and mixed by top-talent Nick Launay. The song is sweet indie-pop with no pretensions about its intentions: This is ‘Young Love’, a playful collaboration with folksy British songstress Laura Marling.
While we’re on topic, be sure you’re up on Mystery Jets’ LA Riots remix in the archives and these other remix favorites from UK re-rub champ Riton that’s the MFin’ jumpoff and another from the insurmountable Justice, that’s proves to be some of their mellowest to date.
Steve Aoki (a.k.a Kid Millionaire)—the founder of Dim Mak Records and co-founder of Hollywood’s premier indie/dance weekly, Cinespace (Tuesdays)—is known the world over as a int’l party rocker and so-called celebrity DJ. Today, Steve Aoki droped his debut mix album, ‘Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles’ on Thrive Records.
And what did I tell you? Aoki starts his record off with Refused’s hardcore punk classic ‘New Noise’ and from there on it, it’s three thick layers deep of partytime. Layer one: take a club hit: Justice’s ‘Waters of Nazereth’. Layer two: find the most balls-out remix from one of the biggest names in dance music, Erol Alkan. Layer three: (now here’s the tricky part) enlist your hip and talented friends, say, Spank Rock affiliate Pase Rock to put a special verse in the mix.
Now do that over and over again. You’ve got a pretty unique and phenomenal mix. Here are some layered excerpts pulled from the mix:

As usual I’m late to the game & I brought the wrong uniform. A few other bloggers (bigstereo, fluokids, crackers united) were upping you guys on Guns ‘N’ Bombs late last year & i’m just now getting around to it. MY BAD!
