Hey you, yea you… We’re piggybacking off the last post featuring Paparazzi’s remix of Kill The Noise, with this, Paparazzi co-conspirator and ALT-to-LA transplant, Le Castle Vania’s take on KTN’s ‘Hey You’. Le Castle Vania gives some hard electro frequencies and atmospheric bridges for the big room riiiiinse out.


MP3: Kill The Noise - Hey You (Le Castle Vania Remix)

And here’s some more stuff we seriously slept on sharing, Le Castle Vania’s collaboration with Blake Miller of dance-rock stronghold Moving Units, collectively knows as Lies in Disguise. The duo hit on something great with their first remix for London electro kids, PARTYSHANK, on ‘Penis VS Vagina’ late last year and again, recently, with their remix of masked Frenchman The Toxic Avenger’s electro-thrasher ‘Poker Face’.

Now listen to it again, twice as loud. Tinnitus ain’t all that bad.

movingunits Moving Units: Hexes for Exes album out October 9th

Moving Units were one one of the best things to happen to indie rock when they emerged in 2003. More than a few of us have had their first album, ‘Dangerous Dreams’ in heavy rotation ever since and have been waiting and wishing for a return to (highly-danceable) form. Well, on October 9th we are all given deliverance with the release of the Moving Units sophomore LP, ‘Hexes for Exes’.

The devoted can now pre-order the new album at Moving Units online store. Also available for y’all to snag is a special package including an exclusive T-shirt designed by Christian Joy (famed for her outrageous get-ups for Yeah Yeah Yeah’s front woman and fashionista Karen O).

Get excited! Here’s a pair of classics from ‘Dangerous Dreams’ (there are so many):


MP3: Moving Units - Emancipation


MP3: Moving Units - Anyone

Now soak in these new ones (including a balls-2-the-wall remix by Felix Cartal we borrowed from big bad BigStereo):


MP3: Moving Units - Crash ‘N’ Burn Victims


MP3: Moving Units - Crash ‘N’ Burn Victims (Felix Cartal Remix)


MP3: Moving Units - The Kids From Orange County

Now, what have Moving Units been up to these years between album A and album B? We aside from touring with Blur and doing grips of shows and becoming all famous, lead singer Blake Miller has been DJing gigs around his L.A. residence and from coast to coast, as well as producing remixes under his side project, Weird Science with partner in production Steve Aoki. The duo have produced some solid remixes including notable work for Bloc Party, Rooney, and Peaches. However, my favorite is definitely this gem for the talented, Under the Influence of Giants.


MP3: Under the Influence of Giants - Mama’s Room (Weird Science Mix)

Got it? Get at Moving Units on MySpace and help them be ironic by buying more albums (a.k.a. move units). Most bands don’t deserve your money, this one does.
