It’s always nice when things we like collide! This is like some MFin’ rainbow sprinkles & butterscotch on my strawberry frogurt right here!

What it is, is, N.Y. posse, Leif (once PalmsOut representer) doing a workover of Glass Candy’s homage to 5th Ward gangsters, Geto Boys, on the track, ‘Geto Boys’. It’s got that Geto Boys ‘Mind Playin’ Tricks on Me’ sample that’s forever fresh.

And since we haven’t had a wholly Leif-centric post since his ‘Flossy Bounce’ EP years ago, let’s keep good ch00nz coming with these: The track ‘Black Magic’ & remixes from last year’s ‘Black Magic Promo EP’. Nice work in the original & in the remixes from Swedish houser The Touch with the haunting vocals of Swedish singer Lina and the other from fellow New Yorkers, Stay High that takes a fidget/dubstepped approach.

Keeping the good stuff coming, I must say I’m quite partial to this cover of Stockholm’s finest siren, Lykke Li. Leif’s voice is so far apart from Lykke Li’s—& the vibe is so different—yet it works just the same. An interesting take:

And finishing up with another gem that’s been sitting on in the ol’ inbox. One from Brooklyn’s Neon Coyote, a remix of Leif’s ‘Timbs’.

Purchase last year’s ‘Black Magic EP’, the sixth release on blog-gone-label, Palms Out Records, through Beatport.com. And sit tight for Leif’s soon-to-be-released next solo EP, as well as and EP with his band Kids in the Garden, the reincarnation of the late, Aries Noise.

MGMT MGMT Electric Feel (Justice remix), Electric Feel My Shit (Leif edit), Time To Pretend (Tronik Youth Shr Edit remix) and Time To Pretend (Jorge Elbrecht of Violens Remix)

Brooklyn’s oh-so psych/synthpopper’s MGMT have recently won over everyones heart with their ethereal LP ‘Oracular Spectacular‘. French electro guru’s Justice have shown that they are pretty handy when it comes to remixing spaced out indie rockers as heard in last years smash remix of Klaxons‘ ‘As Above So Below’ which you can still get here. Now the duo who can do no wrong have remixed MGMT’s ‘Electric Feel’ and the internets is eating that shit up, we are no diff.

MP3:  MGMT – Electric Feel (Justice Remix)

The MP3 that is circulating is an incomplete radio rip, so don’t be mad at a fool but it’s still enough to whet your whistle. Keep your mice close to the internet, you know the real deal will surface soon enough.

Justice aren’t the only producers in our scene that are lovers of MGMT. Fellow Wesleyan University alum and Palmsout fam member Leif has laid paws on MGMT’s Electric Feel also. UK’s Tronik Youth offers up a shr-edit of ‘Time To Pretend’ as well as Jorge Elbrecht of Violens.

MGMT is touring the US this summer, They hit the Bay Area this Saturday with MSTRKRFT, Moby, and Santogold. Tckets are 10 bucks, available here. Your girl will most likely be there, you should too.

If you haven’t gotten your paws on MGMT’s Oracular Spectacular, what are you waiting for? You are losing cool points by the second. Get your copy here. Visit MGMT on their myspace page.

Here’s another good CC related track. Leif, half of Aries Noise and contributor at ChazBlog put together a little mash-up EP last month and it’s kinda fucking excellent. We posted a couple tracks before and told you where to grab the whole thing, but this mash-up of Crystal Castles and Aries Noise deserves more push:
