A staple of the L.A. club scene, DJ Paparazzi is DJ, producer, arranger and club promoter.

Until yesterday, the last we’ve heard from the man was his ‘Yummy Knockout’ edit of Gwen Stefani’s ‘Yummy’ which smashes it up against Cirez D’s (a.k.a. Eric Prydz) ‘Knockout’. We threw that little jam on this here blog not once but twice.

But this is today, and Paparazzi has shared with us his newest remixes—putting his twist on two of our the best things out there: Rochester NY’s finest club wrecker Kill The Noise and the ice creamy, dreamy, LA to NY electro punks Hearts Revolution. Epic win.


MP3: Kill The Noise - Hey You (Paparazzi Remix)

Let me wrap this up with Paparazzi edit of the late great country & western hero Johnny Cash’s ‘Get Rhythm’ from 2006. Get yr toes tappin’ to teh rhythemzzz.

NY/LA Boy/Girl icecream/rockstar force, HEARTSREVOLUTION are back with new remixes of a very very favorite from ‘07. You may remember ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ or simply, ‘C.Y.O.A.’ that we shared way back? This tune is still infectious, with a lot of life left. It’s dancey and just a little punk rock. Oh, that touches our sweet spot! We must have watched the video two dozen times—It’s sexy & clever and touched us again, this time getting well past second base. :-O

You may have heard the buzz; HEARTSREVOLUTION and their label IHeartComix have just concluded an open contest for the best ‘C.Y.A.O.’ remix. And who came up on top? None other than LA’s own Dan Oh of Cinespace Tuesday residency fame. The big winner comes on the upcoming single, released March 10th, alongside commissioned work from French electro-craftsman Brodinski, fellow Shot Callin’ blogger and Miami-based party rocker Lazaro Casanova, our favorite Montreal remixer CFCF, and this, from one of NY’s busiest DJ/producer ladies Lauren Flax:

More to come, but let’s dig in the past, with these B-sides off their prior heart-shaped vinyl released through Colette, and their self-pressed split EP with Crystal Castles on the A-side (supposedly without permission. Is that right? Punk rock as fuck!). It’s the track ‘Prism Effect’ featuring some vocals by high schooler and “it girl” Cory Kennedy, as well as a 2-minute vocal free edit by the oft-mentioned LA blog-producers Acid Girls.

Think you can do a better version of ‘C.Y.O.A.’? Get your bootleg on while it’s good for the getting! The tools are here. Always remember how that one oh-so-popular Justice vs. Simian track lost the battle, but won the war! Never say die!

And on that note, check this bootleg from Canadian sound designer Todd Nickolas (clever a.k.a. Civil Discobedience):
