Public Image Ltd.- Second Edition/Metal Box: Basura’s Pick of the Week

May 13, 2008 2 Comments Tags: , , Indie, Mp3, New Wave, Post Punk, sex pistols.

Not intended to feature the latest music out there, my ‘Pick of the Week’ is to simply share & highlight music I personally enjoy regardless of timeframe. This weeks pick is Public Image Ltd.’s album ‘Second Edition’.

Public Image Ltd. (PiL for short) was formed by Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon after they disbanded. ‘Second Edition’ was PiL’s second album (originally released as ‘Metal Box’ in a metal film canister on 3 12″s).

This is the soundtrack for those gloomy days, as Lydon’s detached, anxious vocals and somber lyrics, combined with the stark, austere sound of the rest of the band make for quite a listening experience.

Having influenced bands like LCD Soundsystem & The Rapture, there’s no doubt that PiL played a big part in the ‘Post-Punk’ movement alongside bands like Joy Division, Gang of Four, & Magazine. This is Death Disco!!!

MP3: Public Image Ltd.- Careering

Not intended to feature the latest music out there, my ‘Pick of the Week’ is to simply share & highlight music I personally enjoy regardless of timeframe. This weeks pick is Chilean band Panico, who make catchy (dance/post/disco)-punk that should appeal to fans of bands like !!!, The Rapture, & ESG.

The overall sound of ‘Subliminal Kill’ is very raw, almost like it was recorded live at some crazy house party. ‘Subliminal Kill’ was released on indie French label Tigersushi and was co-produced by electronic music pioneers Joakim & Cristian Vogel.

More cowbell!!!

MP3: Panico- Transpira Lo

MP3: Panico- Lupita

Van She - Strangers (Dir. Lorin Askill from Collider)

Aussie shoegazers, part-time remixers and Modular people, Van She have a return to form with ‘Strangers’, the latest track leaked from their forthcoming debut full-length, ‘V’, slated for an August release. This follows up the first single ‘Cat and the Eye’.

Van She is unique in that they are their own best canidate for a remix. Not many can pull off being rockstars who also produce jawdropping club remixes. That club membership card is held by, perhaps, by Van She and Ghent’s Soulwax alone. The evidence is below. Club dues are paid in full.

MP3: Van She - Strangers
Removed by label’s request.

MP3: Van She - Strangers (Van She Tech Remix)

MP3: Van She - Cat and the Eye (Van She Tech Remix)

Save the Feist ‘1234′ remix, which is so good it’s untouchable, this 2006 remix for London electro-poppers I Am Finn is probably my long standing favorite and doesn’t leave my queue.

MP3: I Am Finn - I Love You (Van She Tech Remix)

Van She will be touring the country that is also a continent in June. Austraila, support these guys they’re hometown heroes.

N.Y.’s Designer Drugs are the dopest (pun intended). Designer Drugs have been steady racking up a discog of club bangin’ remixes and for their efforts have earned hella blog and mixtape love (the evidence). The two live crew dropped off this brand new remix of Vancouver BC’s Fake Shark Real Zombie!—an indie-hardcore-dance-rock band who’s 2007 album, ‘Zebra Zebra’ has been filling the void in my life that was put there by the untimely death of their contemporaries, UK’s Test Icicles. ‘Zebra Zebra’ happens to feature a song named ‘Designer Drugs’. Designer Drugs remixes ‘Designer Drugs’? This was meant to be:

MP3: Fake Shark Real Zombie! - Designer Drugs (Designer Drugs Remix)

DJs need oven mitts these club-biscuits are so hot! Keep the dance party going with the these delicious remixes from Designer Drugs bakery (it’s not really a bakery, it’s not even a mob controlled money laundering bakery-front for drugs, it’s probably more of a bedroom studio, but the former sounds more fun and I digress). Enjoy remixes of French synth-rockers FLOU, Philly Indie kids Hail Social, New England indie kids Protokoll, Melbourne indie darlings Midnight Juggernaut, & UK electronica act, QUEENOFWAR. Dig in.

Electric President’s charming sound should appeal to fans of The Postal Service, Death Cab For Cutie, and The Notwist. Out on Berlin-based indie electronic label Morr Music, (Lali Puna, Ms. John Soda, Styrofoam, etc.), ‘Sleep Well’ holds true to its title, as a catnap or daydreaming may ensue from these light and fluffy tracks. Perfect listening for a pleasant walk or bike ride in the park.

Be on the lookout for this album’s release, slated for June. In the meantime, here are 2 tracks to enjoy.

M83- Saturdays=Youth

April 13, 2008 7 Comments Tags: , Indie, M83, Mp3, shoegaze.

Saturdays=Youth, the latest album offering from France’s M83, couldn’t have come out at a better time. It’s the perfect soundtrack for these beautiful Spring days & nights. Still apparent in M83’s sound is their ‘lush’ and ‘ethereal’ nod to “shoegaze”, but that’s not to say that this album is an ode to MBV or the like.

M83 have a refreshing, emotive, dreamy sound all their own, and have come up with an album one can easily lose themselves in. Saturdays=Youth was produced by Ken Thomas (known for his work with the likes of The Sugarcubes & Sigur Ros) & Ewan Pearson, remixer extraordinaire (Depeche Mode, Ladytron, The Rapture).

MP3: M83 - We Own The Sky

Saturdays=Youth drops this tuesday April 15th. Be sure to pick that up at your local record slangin’ shop. Stream other M83 goodies on his myspace page.

Cryptonites are a pair of bang-’em-out dudes from Switzerland who’ve been collecting blog nods and spots in DJs playlists more and more over the past year for their hitting electro. Now, on their eve of their debut EP, ‘Hands of God’, let’s give the boys a full push, because this is some hype business.

We first got hipped at Hupendi Muziki, then the crew, Discodust, BigStereo and pretty much e’rybody else. Good reason, as evidenced below. Peep the O.G. production. ‘Glow’ is the new track Cryptonites just sent over, ‘Hands of God’ is the single, the rest are mo’ bangers done bang’d out over the last ~12 months.

MP3: Cryptonites - Glow

MP3: Cryptonites - Hands of God

MP3: Cryptonites - Can’t Give You Up

MP3: Cryptonites - Trippin’

Beyond that, the Cryptonites have recently fiddled with Swiss indie kids Love Motel’s ‘Je Pleure’. It’s just the latest in a series of good remixes (bootleg or not), others from L.A. singer/songwriter John Neilson, London clubber Russ Chimes & British indie champs Arctic Monkeys.

MP3: Love Motel - Je Pleure (Cryptonites Remix)

E’rybodys favorite electro thrashers, Crystal Castles, are hitting So. Cal. before taking an aeroplane to tour Europe. All this partying to promote their recent self-titled debut release. We’re stoked to have some some recent Crystal Castles tracks and remixes from L.A.’s LAZRtag (which is one part Luvtek, of ‘Do It At The Disco‘ mixtape fame and one part StellarDRV). LAZRtag have done nice ‘lectro’d up work of ‘Crimewave’, a track that can be fully credited to HEALTH and Crystal Castles as mash-up/remix, now remixed once again.

MP3: Crystal Castles - Crimewave (LAZRtag Remix)

And for the DJs (that’s everybody nowadays, right?), a friendly edit from N.Y.’s FITFORUSE (of ‘That’s Corny!’ mixtape fame).

MP3: Crystal Castles - Good Times (FITFORUSE Edit)

Sample this album cut, ‘Courtship Dating’, a track that we controversially linked to Timbaland’s ‘AYO Technology’ last September. I guess that’s old news by now, so we’ve brought that post back (no longer contraband, we hope). What do you think?

MP3: Crystal Castles - Courtship Dating

Buy Crystal Castles debut album on CD or digital download via Amazon.

L.A., come see Crystal Castles tonight, Saturday, April 12th with Guns’n'Bombs and others (as mentioned earlier) at the Local Heroes Warehouse Party. Or check them in Riverside on Sunday April 13th, at the Missingtoof sponsored Era Disco party. Europe, see if they visit your ‘hood on CC’s MySpace tour calendar. Good times, indeed.

Royal Rumble remixes Big Moves’ ‘Never Lose Sight’

April 4, 2008 4 Comments Tags: , Big Moves, Disco, Electro, House, Indie, Mp3, Remix, Royal-Rumble.

Beverly Hills toughest streetgang, Royal Rumble grows a little more mature with their newest remix for L.A.’s indie-come-disco band, Big Moves. Big Moves get a big treatment of disco-house drum-sequences and breakdowns. Good source material makes for solid reinterpretations, so, of course, the victory is shared. Big Moves’ lyrics are turned into infections chants, backed by organic hand-claps and synth-heavy techno basslines. Even with all that and a bag of Chips Ahoy!, track retains its original and intended indie-disco-house charm.

MP3: Big Moves - Never Lose Sight (Royal Rumble Remix)

As always, folks in L.A. can catch Royal Rumble at their Sunday night weekly, Sudden Death at Vine Bar in Hollywood. Good times—all wax; no laptops! Served up by the RR and Turntable Lab crew’s Blu Jemz, among others.

Visit Royal Rumble on MySpace.
