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.

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.

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

New Young Pony Club: “Ice Cream” remixes from Tiga, Herve, Van She & The Hooks

New Young Pony Club has always been deserving of the hype. And now we’d like to congratulate them for being shortlisted as a one of the 12 best albums of the past year, and thus, a contender for the #1 pick for the prestigious Nationwide Mercury Prize (wuz that? Wikipedia helps). Also nominated are several acts that we’ve featured here including, Klaxons (archive), Bat For Lashes (Archive), Maps (archive) and Amy Winehouse (archive). Also nominated are previous Mercury Prize winners, Arctic Monkeys and Dizzee Rascal for their recent efforts.

This puts NYPC in some great company! Their debut album, ‘Fantastic Playroom’ (Buy it!) was a long time coming. Their break-through single ‘Ice Cream’ was featured in a major advertisement campaign for Intel, as well as countless mixtape, radio and club playlists all over the world.

Great songs become remix juggernauts. Interesting that ‘Ice Cream’ was originally released in 2004 on UK label Tirk Records before finding it’s next home on Aussie label, Modular. ‘Ice Cream’ is a great song and is absolutely a juggernaut. The is still getting it’s remix fix and just received some new remix jobs from, most recently by Tiga and, previously, Hervé, Van She and The Hooks, among others.

MP3: New Young Pony Club - Ice Cream (Herve Goes Bananas Remix)


MP3: New Young Pony Club - Ice Cream (Van She Tech Remix)


MP3: New Young Pony Club - Ice Cream (The Hooks Remix)

Pick up the singles and you’ll realize there are so many remixes of ‘Ice Cream’! Now seriously, Pick them up from Amazon and HMV. Strictly for the hardcore, NYPC has a merch site with shirts and mugs and junk. We gots one, we hardcore!

If nothing else, visit NYPC on MySpace and say congratulations or check their official site, WeArePony.com

Australia’s Bumblebeez 81, newly re-branded as simply, The Bumblebeez were one of the first Modular acts that we really got into. Now they’re back with the fantastic new single and video for ‘Dr. Love’, directed by Tom Kuntz from the always amazing, MJZ Productions.

We love The Bumblebeez! Remember their previous single ‘Black Dirt’ from last year?

Modular Promo CD (2007)

Modular has been one of the labels to watch for a minute now. They are boasting a pretty mean roster with acts like like The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, New young Pony Club, Cut Copy, Wolfmother, MSTRKRFT, Soul Wax, Klaxons, Van She, The Presets & more. It looks as though Modular is trying to take over the electro/indie universe. & I’m all for it.

Speaking of Van She & Modular my Van She shirt came in the mail today from them & along with it a super sweet six song promo CD.


Jewelry by Alex & Chloe

The tracks are like whoa. There’s a Presets remix called ‘Hung Down’ which features the ARP Odyssey riff from Madonna’s ‘Hung Up’ (Originally from Abba’s ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’). I don’t think Modular is selling the promo so you’ll have to buy a t-shirt from them in order to get one. Or, know a super cool blogger, like me!


Tracklisting

1. The Avalanches - A Different Feeling (Paperclip People Remix) Avalanches Edit
2. The Presets - Hung Down
3. Van She - Kelly (Alan Braxe and Fred Falke remix)
4. Cut Copy - Going Nowhere (SebastiAn remix)
5. Bumblebeez - Repeater
6. Wolfmother - Woman (Avalanches remix)


Who loves you?

I think if you order anything from Modular Records they throw in this promo cd. So go buy stuff from them here. If you buy the Van She shirt, call me & tell me before you wear it, don’t wanna end up wearing the same thing to school! How Embarrassing!
