London based producer/DJ Sinden, who is known for his genre-spanning mixes and dancefloor packing anthems, does it again with this brand new remix of electro darlings Crystal Castles‘ remix of noise-band HEALTH’s ‘Crimewave’. Ethan and Alice already danced up the original track but Sinden takes it to the next level perhaps spawning a new club anthem for the fall.
Be sure to check out Sinden’s remix of Björk’s Innocence in our previous post. If you live and play in the Bay Area, Sinden will be at Vessel SF on September 24th. Crystal Castles touch down Oct 29th and in November HEALTH graces us with their noisy presence. Mark them google calendars.
Buy Crystal Castles’ self-titled CD from insound. HEALTH’s self titled album can be procured from Lovepump Unilimted and check out Sinden productions in the iTunes store.
E’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.
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?
L.A. noise rockers HEALTH have a massive remix project that’s set off on their HEALTH // DISCO MySpace page. The rockers have enlisted reams of exciting electronic music producers to have a whack at their 2007 Lovepump United self-titled debut.
HEALTH has been kicking L.A.’s underground scene in the balls for more than little while now. In the latter half of July we told you about a rumor that Curses! (a.k.a. Drop The Lime) was remixing the Los Angeles noise-making quartet and today it has been confirmed! Listen to the prophesied track in all it’s glory.
HEALTH are soon to embark on a 40 day US tour, be sure to watch out for them when they come to wreck shop on your town. Here are some more HEALTH goodies which we couldn’t help but post, including the now blogfamous CFCF remix of Triceratops which give me nightmares, but in a good way.
Lovepump Unlimited released a HEALTH/Crystal Castles 7 inch split which you can get here. Older HEALTH releases can be found at http://www.dntrecords.com/. More noisy tracks on HEALTH’s myspace.
HEALTH are the hottest noise-band making major noise. These L.A. dudes are local favorites and since getting the signature-sound treatment from Toronto hot-shots Crystal Castles on the track, ‘Crimewave’ (hear it in the HEALTH archives), they’ve been getting noticed on the circuit of fresh-to-death remixers. Now, word is that Curses! (a.k.a. Drop the Lime) is working on his HEALTH re-work, but in the present tense, electronic phenom and Missingtoof favorite, CFCF stepped up quick to remix the new track, ‘Triceratops’. I grabbed the track from our boy at BiBaBiDi and to quote him on it, “The original track is hidden deep down in there, but there’s just enough of it to count as a legit remix”. Compare and contrast:
You might remember CFCF from his plethora of continuing remix work, including his ‘Air War (CFCF Remix)’, which won the Crystal Castles official remix contest earlier this year (hear it in the CFCF archives). Now here’s we diverge from HEALTH and lean toward CFCF. CFCF has another yet to be released remix for NY rockers Apache Beat’s first single, ‘Tropics’, slated for release on Playlouderrecordings. The ‘Tropics’ single will have additional remixes by Toof favorites, Damn Arms and Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya. CFCF is first out of the gate and we <3 it for sounding like the best of New Wave throw backs.
And because more music is generally better than less music, here is the first remix I heard from CFCF that turned me into a fan. How about some smooth electro remix of R&B diva, ex- P.Ditty protegé and love interest, Cassie? This remix is “unofficial”, but shit, that’s her bad:
Ya herd? We always give you homework: Go check HEALTH on MySpace and their official site. And don’t forget, ‘Crimewave’ with Crystal Castles is now available on wax from Trouble Records.
Visit CFCF on MySpace to stream tracks. Artists, get at this dude, you’ll want a CFCF remix. I’m telling you now before he wants a mil.
Postscript: HEALTH plays tonight, July 19th, at The Smell in Los Angeles. All ages and punk rock as fuck. Make it happen.
Around the time Crystal Castles first appeared on everyone’s radar FADER magazine had them perform at the CMJ sideshow tent along with Lo-Fi-FNK, 120 Days, Ladyhawk, The Blow & a handful of other indie acts. Someone at FADER was kind enough to record CC’s performance of HEALTH’s Crimewave (remix).
Look at Alice’s cute little dance. Makes you wanna ask her to prom, right? Since seeing this video the song consumed me. I wanted it, needed it. But alas, I could never get my grubby little hands on it. Until now. HEALTH finally put it up for stream on their myspace page.
As far as I can tell the Crystal Castles 7″ is STILL sold out! You should message the guys at Merok & ask them what’s up. Until then you can buy Crystal Castles shirts Here.
