Exzakt- The V.I.P. Remixes (NIN, Tiefschwarz, & Dave Clarke feat. Chicks on Speed)

exzakt Exzakt- The V.I.P. Remixes (NIN, Tiefschwarz, & Dave Clarke feat. Chicks on Speed)

Florida-based Exzakt is definitely no newbie to the electro scene. He has remixed the likes of Anthony Rother, Tiefshwarz, and Miss Kittin & The Hacker, as well as having put out releases on top-notch electro labels like Satamile & (Anthony Rother’s) Datapunk imprint.

As if that weren’t enough, he also runs his own Monotone label and operates the Electro Wax Online Record Store and Electro Alliance websites.

With over 20 12″s and 3 albums put out (and much more along the way), one must think- ‘Does this guy ever get any sleep?!??’ Well, who could blame him? Exzakt LOVES what he does and does it VERY well. His sound is dark and heavy, just the way I like it- and there hasn’t been one single release I haven’t heard from him that I didn’t like.

Here are a few of his remixes taken from his ‘V.I.P. Remixes’ release… and folks- don’t get it twisted- THIS IS ELECTRO.


MP3: Nine Inch Nails- The Hand That Feeds You (Exzakt’s Don’t Bite Remix)

Ladytron: ‘Black Cat’ first single off new album ‘Velocifero’ / Remixes by Vicarious Bliss & Playgroup plus remix of Nine Inch Nails

ladytron Ladytron: Black Cat first single off new album Velocifero / Remixes by Vicarious Bliss & Playgroup plus remix of Nine Inch Nails

Liverpudlian synthpopers Ladytron have a glorious return to form with their brand new track, ‘Black Cat’, the opener of the yet-to-be released fourth studio album, ‘Velocifero’ (full tracklisting on Wikipedia). The new record is produced by Ladytron with assistance from Ed Banger’s Vicaraous Bliss, Jim Abbiss of Arctic Monkeys production fame, and Alessandro Cortini (currently of seminal Industrial band Nine Inch Nails). The single ‘Black Cat’ carries a gothic synthpop sweetness with morose-toned Bulgarian verses from ‘tron’s Mira Aroyo.


MP3: Ladytron - Black Cat

The full-length ‘Velocifero’ has a street date of June 3rd and will be released on Nettwerk, the groups’ first for the label (Nettwerk was one of the first labels to abolish DRM and incredibly, paid legal defense for a teen downloader sued by the RIAA).

Ladytron always sounds better in bunches, so enjoy these—some we’ve posted before, some you’re likely to have heard before—all should be heard again. …These are remix collaborations with London new wavers Playgroup & Chicaco house heavyweight Felix Da Housecat, as well as Nine Inch Nails and Vicarious Bliss:


MP3: Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch (Playgroup Vocal Edit)


MP3: Ladytron - Play Girl (Felix Da Housecat Glitz Clubhead Mix)


MP3: Ladytron - Soft Power (Vicarious Bliss Gutter Mix)


MP3: Nine Inch Nails - The Beginning of the End (Ladytron Remix)

Ladytron tours through Europe, US and Canada beginning April 30th in Manchester. See if they stop by your town on Ladytron’s MySpace.

Sisters of Mercy get remixed as Sisters of Mixing / CYLAB ‘Grays (Graced by Shok & Zeitmahl remix)’

sistersofmixing Sisters of Mercy get remixed as Sisters of Mixing / CYLAB Grays (Graced by Shok & Zeitmahl remix)

L.A. based producer/instrumentalist Shok (a.k.a. Zeitmahl), is one bad dude. You mightn’t have guessed it, but we’re all about sinister dark industrial gothtronix shit. And Shok provides!

Formerly in the seminal industrial/techno rock band My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult, as well as recording with International DeeJay Gigalos artist Mount Sims (who helped usher in the modern sexy-electro sound with ’02s ‘Ultra Sex’), Shok has quite a bit of impressive production and rockstar credentials.

Now, gothic icons The Sisters of Mercy have a canon of songs that are perfect as they exist, but their sparse soundscapes have always made me wonder how they’d sound with a tricked-out backbeat. Enter, Shok, who took The Sisters’ classic ‘Lucretia, My Reflection’ and mixes it down for the dancefloor—re-christened ‘New Cretia’ under the yet another moniker of Shok, Sisters of Mixing:


MP3: Sisters Of Mixing - New Cretia

Another recent remix of Seattle/NYC EMB/Electro band CYLAB also gets a lot of play at my house. Some shit you can dance and cry to at the same time.


MP3: CYLAB - Grays (Graced by Shok & Zeitmahl mix)

Shok is currently working with heavyweight Bristol drum’n'bass’r Tech Itch on a the colab. project found here. We expect good things.

Klangstabil

klangstabil Klangstabil

The German experimental/eletronica duo known as Klangstabil was formed in 1994 without the intention of ever releasing any music, but quickly became some of the most respected producers in their genre & quite regularly featured at Germany’s industrial/electronica music festival called Maschinenfest.

The group cites Kraftwerk as their biggest influence and it is very evident on many of their songs, you know, minus the screaming. The subject matter of their songs is strangely inspirational despite the manner in which the message is given.


MP3: Klangstabil - Push Your Yourself


MP3: Klangstabil - You May Start

You can get Klangstabil albums here Klangstabil, you’ll have to dig around some German sites to find the Maschinenfest compilations which I recommend if this is your cup of caffeine.
