Parisian electro-popstar Sébastien Tellier is sexually charged. We’ve been amp’d up for the stateside release of Tellier’s third studio album, ‘Sexuality’, for months now. You’ll remember that the record is produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk fame. Well now we have it, Record Makers have given us something special for our eager hands…

Beginning this week, Sébastien Tellier’s new album, ‘Sexuality’, is available for pre-order exclusively at all American Apparel locations throughout North America. This is the first music release to be carried by the clothing store chain. ‘Sexuality’s first single, ‘Sexual Sportswear’ no doubt influenced American Apparel to secure Tellier for this exclusive deal, because, hey, sexual sportswear is AA’s business model. Additionally, American Apparel has created two limited garments, the Sexuali-Tee and Sexuali-Tank to celebrate the pairs’ tryst.

Enjoy this ‘Sexual Sportswear’ remix from Parisian producer, Donovan from the ‘Sexual Sportswear’ single.

Many of you probably heard the controversy surrounding the second ‘Sexuality’ single, ‘Divine’. It was selected to represent France at the yearly Eurovision Song Contest. ‘Divine’, which lyrics are in English, ’caused a stir as critics said it did not properly represent French music. The song was slightly altered to appease critics, but perhaps Tellier was doomed at that point, and after the May 24th performance—’Divine’ placed near the bottom (18th of 25 competitors). I see it as their mistake, as ‘Divine’ is absolute win. Enjoy this remix from Melb.’s Midnight Juggernauts, that we promised once upon a time:

Moar! A pair of menacing remixes from Englishman, Night Faculties serving up a hittin’ bootleg and Frenchman, Danger serving up an official EP release.

And, because Teiller is so good; moar again! Here’s another new remix of new track, ‘Kilometer’, from Berlin’s Jack Tennis.

Lend your ears to Little Boots, of Blackpool, London, who’s one solitary track is very impressive and, dare I say, an early contender for song of the year? The must have song right now? We think so! The song is ‘Stuck on Repeat’, produced by Joe Goddard of Hot Chip, with vocals by one Victoria Hesketh, or Little Boots, formerly one-third of hip electro-pop indie rockers Dead Disco:

MP3: Little Boots - Stuck on Repeat

Little Boots reached out to us at the same time our friends at Big Stereo blogged the original mix, that’s been receiving gushing responses. But, Missingtoof, we held back, because the files that reached us were an unacceptable 96kbps, but now—no less than one dozen emails & forwarded contacts later—we are happy to have Little Boots, as it should be heard, in glorious 320kpbs audio. If you downloaded it before somewhere else, download it again. 96kbps is a scourge on blogtown.

Here’s another Dub mix that’s similar to the original, but just different enough for y’all to notice. Take yr pick:

MP3: Little Boots - Stuck on Repeat (Dub)

The Little Boots project may prompt questions about the state of Dead Disco. Are they no more? Are they disbanded? It’s hard to say, after Little Boots departure and a departure from 679 Recordings, Dead Disco may be down, but not necessary out. Last year’s Dead Disco hit ‘You’re Out’, with its Frankmusik remix, was one of our favorite tracks—you can download it over here. Also enjoy these other remixes from Dead Disco’s 2007 ep ‘You’re Out’ (with Victoria included). Remixes courtesy of Londoner Rufaust:

MP3: Dead Disco - Automatic (Raufast’s Indie Disco Mix)

Little Boots’ ‘Stuck on Repeat’ will be released on white label wax in approximately four weeks. Sit tight at the edge of the chair. A full LP is to follow, produced by Greg Kurstin of L.A. indie rock outfit The Bird & the Bee and jazzy alt. rocker outfit Geggy Tah. Good things are coming.

Ka So Re is the new production project of our favorite Finnish DJ, Kimarr, of ‘Pose It Up’ mixtape fame. Since arriving in our playlist last week, these tracks have really grown on us. It’s modest electro with modern hard hitting baselines and roots digging directly into classic ’80s electro stylings (OMG vocoders! Let’s boogaloo! Now!). The production is crisp for the bedroom, the dive bar, and the big room with the sound activated lazers. Say “Greetings” to Ka So Re:

British indietronica boys Hot Chip new record, ‘Made in the Dark’ dropped last week and, oh man, it’s the jam. Released on Astralwerks (they can do no wrong!), ‘Made in the Dark’ takes us through the the dark and the light—providing soft and thoughtful hymns that leave our ears dilated and inexpectant for the next blazing and glorious indie/dance groove. In other terms, the new record is a exciting and joyful music journey.

Anyone recall, ‘Shake a Fist’ that we hosted briefly last year? That track holds down track 2 among thirteen. Still fantastic, but let’s have another, a beautiful indie pop song titled, ‘Ready for the Floor’, with it’s official remixes by Floridian Hollertronix homeboy Diplo, the undeniably supreme Ghentlemen Soulwax and German houser Jesse Rose. Additionally a fine bootleg electro remix from one Marian Pramberger out of Austria.

And for good measure—because we’re still not sick of this remix, and ’cause our missingtoof girl got a buncha Grammys last week—we’re bringing back Hot Chip’s remix of ‘Rehab’. So heat.

MP3: Amy Winehouse - Rehab (Hot Chip Remix)

Buy the new album ‘Made in the Dark’ on Amazon in either CD/DVD or Mp3 download formats.

Jeremy is from Sydney. He is 18 years old and loves to DJ. He is not to be confused with the Norwegian indie/folk band of the same name.

Jeremy is without a gimicky namesake, and we find that refreshing (with the aforementioned band, “Jeremy” it is a gimmick because no one in the band has that name).

A good mix is a good mix, no matter what you call yourself—be it what’s on your passport or DJ MegaAwesomeDJ. And Jeremy’s mix sounds good.

Jeremy’s ‘Pipemix’ is thrown down in Ableton Live for extra freshness. The mix has a underlying idea of a musical journey grounded in electro. The ‘Pipemix’ borrows a familiar sample from ‘Super Mario Bros.’—that of Mario descending down the pipe after a completed level. Jeremy “added those as a signifier for when the sound is going to change dramatically, similar to going into a pipe in Mario and coming out in a different world with different music.”

A mix with a theory? This ol’ college boy ain’t mad at it.
