L.A.’s Guns’N'Bombs are wise old record collectors. You probably know they crank out the finest gentleman’s techno, but did you know that they do the disco? The folks at Echo Park Records gave us this mix last week and it’s been the rotation for summer ever since.

MP3: Guns’N'Bombs - Disco Night at the Big Horse [43:54 | 40MB]

Out of the retro mode here’s some more good stuff in the form of a remix of Guns’N'Bombs Kitsune debut, ‘Nothing is Getting Us Anywhere’ from more of L.A.’s best, Acid Girls.

MP3: Guns’N'Bombs - Nothing is Getting Us Anywhere (Acid Girls Remix)

Can’t neglect these Guns’N'Bombs remixes, an eclectic array of mixes for my hip-hop uncle (I wish), Wu-Tang’s Ghostface Killah, iconic goth-rock band, The Cult and poppy Junior Senior (of which the ‘Bombs Turbotito was a member). All recommended:

MP3: Ghostface Killah - Charlie Brown (Guns’N'Bombs Remix)

MP3: The Cult - Sound of Destruction (Guns’N'Bombs Remix)

MP3: Junior Senior - Can I Get Get Get (Guns’N'Bombs Jak The Tab Remix)

Oh shit! Guns’N'Bombs tours exotic locals such as Tapei, Bangkok, Portland, Vancouver, Los Angeles and San Francisco to name a few. Full dates and details on Guns’n'Bombs MySpace tour page.

And know that the new single drops, September 16th; the label is tentative. Here’s a taster’s spoon of the new heat; check YouTube.

The Gossip post redux! Last month we got excited and posted a high-quality track (with the player move) a little too early and had to pull it down (see post). Well, now it’s all smoothed over and this track deserves one more go around. It’s L.A.’s Guns’N'Bombs take on ‘Yr Mangled Heart’, released on Back Yard Recordings:

MP3: The Gossip - Yr Mangled Heart (Guns’N'Bombs Trashbags Remix)

How awesome is that? Gossip’s vocalist Beth Ditto is a soulful rocker who just happens to lend herself perfectly to dance music too. So well in fact, that we can’t stop there—here’s another pair of licks off the ‘Yr Mangled Heart’ singles that comes from electro kingpin and Montreal native Tiga and Guildford, UK houser Si McEvoy. Wait for the break, y’all:

MP3: The Gossip - Yr Mangled Heart (Tiga’s Congobreak)

MP3: The Gossip - Yr Mangled Heart (Si McEvoy Trash Fash Remix)

Also, last year’s ‘Listen Up! single. Produced some heated remixes from MSTRKRFT, The Black Ghosts, and this funky burner from crass London electro heads Punks Jump Up:

I haven’t slept in 24 hours, and this Monday is gonna suck! But it’s okay, because I have Kitsune playboys Guns’N'Bombs new Mixtape #3 on repeat! Fuck a sleep! Guns’N'Bombs Mixtape #3 is the most bananas-est, balls-to-the-walls mix we’ve heard in a minute. My ear wax is boiling, dunny! This shit is hot!

The mix was recorded for L.A. radio station Indie 103.1’s Saturday night electro show Neon Noise. Fluokids got the master recording and spread the word—Now we’re running with it, because, well, Guns’N'Bombs are some the very best L.A. has to offer and we’d be ashamed not be pushing these goods. As Guns’N'Bombs’ Johnny “Guns” Love and Turbo Tito‘, long-standing slogan goes, “All bangers. No mash.” This is Techno and House done proper. Take yr mash and shove it.

Chromeo is the duo of fantastically talented best-friends Dave 1 & P-Thugg. They are frequently referenced for their only-half-way-kidding self-description of being, “the only successful Arab and Jewish collaboration since the beginning of time!” Dave is the Jew and Pee is the Arab, but I don’t care about no things but the music!

Chromeo is back in 2007 with their critically-acclaimed sophomore album, ‘Fancy Footwork’. An album that follows “Electrofunk” trend established with their debut album, 2004’s ‘She’s in Control’.

The video above is their first official video from ‘Fancy Footwork’. Directed by Jérémie Rozan & Martial Schmeltz with the Surface To Air agency in Paris, ‘Tenderoni’ is fun and fresh. Surface to Air is also responsible for all the recent Chromeo artwork for the singles and album, not to mention a little video called ‘Never Be Alone‘ by Justice vs Simian.

Take the tune from the video with you. You love it! Or, maybe you’ll like the MSTRKRFT or Sinden remix instead?

MP3: Chromeo - Tenderoni

MP3: Chromeo - Tenderoni (MSTRKRFT Remix)

MP3: Chromeo - Tenderoni (Sinden Remix)

The track ‘Tenderoni’ has remixes and is catching up, but, still not nearly as many as their dance-party pleaser, ‘Fancy Footwork’, which got re-works by Guns’N'Bombs, Surkin, d.i.m. and more. There are many different ways to get yr footwerk fancy:

MP3: Chromeo - Fancy Footwork (Guns’N'Bombs Remix)

MP3: Chromeo - Fancy Footwork (Surkin Rogue Teens Remix)

MP3: Chromeo - Fancy Footwork (d.i.m. Remix)

And for good measure (cuz we we were long overdue on a Chromeo post!), a Bloc Party remix of ‘Needy Girl’, the single from ‘She’s in Control’. I adore this remix!

MP3: Chromeo - Needy Girl (Bloc Party Remix)

Now everything Chromeo does is brilliant and we highly recommend the albums, ‘Fancy Footwork’ and ‘She’s in Control’ from Amazon. Additional sources to buy (and sample) are found on Chromeo’s MySpace or their official site.

Ohhh! And don’t forget Chromeo plays Hollywood tonight at Cinespace, and again on Thursday at the EchoPlex in Echo Park with a San Diego date inbetween. Then they’re off to Europe! Check the MySpace for tour dates and locations.
