Seasoned Brimingham, Alabama producer, Computer Club got at us today with the MFin’ goods! Computer Club, or, sometimes, Gigantor of Evol Intent, has been keeping busy and getting quite major in the months since his introduction last April.

Now, Computer Club takes on glithcy frenchman, Mr. Oizo’s most popular, the 1999 track, ‘Flat Beat’. ‘Flat Beat’ gained notoriety as the jingle of Levis’ television campaigns, featuring one “Flat Eric” character. You might remember? Peep the video on YouTube. That beat is essential and set the stage for much electro-house today! Here’s the extra bang’d out remix. Flat Eric made “Fat”, get it?:


MP3: Mr. Oizo - Flat Beat (Computer Club’s Fat Eric Remix)

Also, brand-spankin’ new, Computer Club takes on the purple, the funky, the iconic, Prince for a DJ friendly edit. Dance with me:


MP3: Prince - Erotic City (Computer Club Reflip)

Computer Club knows how to pick ‘em. Here’s a few I nabbed from Discodust a couple months back: One remix for industrial-rock gods Nine Inch Nails, and another for French electro-house project Les Rhythmes Digitales (a.k.a. Grammy winning, Jacques Lu Cont, a.k.a. Zoot Woman, a.k.a. Thin White Duke, et. al.).


MP3: Nine Inch Nails - That’s What I Get (Computer Club’s President Emeritus Remix)


MP3: Les Rhythmes Digitales - Sometimes (Computer Club Edit)

Lastly, here’s a pair I’ve been sitting on for since the beginning; These are essential listening, dropped on System Recordings:

Omaha, Nebraska’s The Faint, those loveable champions of contemporary new wave rock & roll music (often re-branded as “dance-punk” or “electro-indie”) have returned with ‘The Geeks Were Right’, the tip of the iceberg that is one majorly anticipated cool record, the band’s upcoming fifth studio release, ‘Fasciinatiion’.

The faint freed themselves from their long-time position on the Saddle Creek roster, to start on their own imprint, blank.wav. The first release on blank.wav, ‘Fasciinatiion’ will be released August 5th. The 10-track LP is currently available for pre-order on wax and CD at Amazon.


MP3: The Faint - The Geeks Were Right

Before you go, get an ear full of classic, 1999 ‘Blank-Wave Arcade’ era, Faint on ‘Worked Up So Sexual’, and a pair from ’03s all remix album, ‘Danse Macabre Remixes’, on which The Faint get mixdowns from British drum & bass (and so much more) god, Photek and British house hero, Jacques Lu Cont under his Thin White Duke guise.


MP3: The Faint - Worked Up So Sexual


MP3: The Faint - Total Job (Photek Remix)


MP3: The Faint - The Conductor (Thin White Duke Remix)

The Faint tours the US (with limited Canadian dates too) beginning late July through August. Support comes courtesy of some more major favorites, Jaguar Love (former members of The Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves) and Shy Child. Epic? Yessir. Full dates and details on The Faint’s MySpace tour page.

The Faint are important. In addition to pre-orders for ‘Fasciination’ make sure your collection of prior records is on point: Get at Amazon or your favorite music spot.
