1. TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB - Something Good Can Work
They’re very young, very shy, very three, very Northern Irish. They’re into melody, very much so. We believe in them. Close your eyes and here you are: somewhere else. The most beautiful song there is.
2. WE HAVE BAND - Time After Time
They’re young too, also three, although there’s a couple in the trio. A mental energy on stage that’s left the Parisian audience of a Kitsuné En Vrai gig totally battered. Proper heroes.
3. PHOENIX - Lisztomania (CLASSIXX Version)
Here’s the first single of the long awaited new Phoenix album, remixed by the new Los Angeles scene: Classixx. A production that’s evocative of a Corvette in the sun, carefree, before it all gets dangerously heated up. Quite convenient too when you’re fifteen (at least spiritually) to French kiss for a whole five minutes.
4. CRYSTAL FIGHTERS - Xtatic Truth
They say: “We make dance music with Basque instruments, synths and our voices”. In London people talk of Folktronica. At Kitsuné’s headquarter in Montmartre, we find that it opens the door quite a bit and let fresh air comes in.
5. THE GOLDEN FILTER - Favourite Things
The italo-disco scene revitalized by these New Yorkers who have been close to Kitsuné for a long time. The girl goes through her list of favorite things and that’s enough for us: “coffee, sugar, ice cream, vintage dresses, kittens, rabbits, Paris, nice girls, cute boys”. Feels familiar.
6. LA ROUX - In For The Kill (LIFELIKE Remix)
Here La Roux is remixed by Lifelike, mr glamour from Strasbourg. These days she’s one of the most fashionable artists in the Kitsuné Maison. The track is as smooth as a yellow Testarossa that won’t stop, just like Donna Summer’s endless orgasms. The beat revolves around broken glass, yes we drink Russian-style at Kitsuné.
7. BENI - Fringe Element (Short Like Me Edit)
Young, charismatic producer, he makes club music. He’s part of the good, ebullient Aussie scene. The track takes an unexpected turn, in discotheque slang it’s called ‘major sweating’.
8. autoKratz - Always More (Yuksek Remix)
The band of the moment remixed by the remixer of the moment, a healthy Manchester/Paris connectivity. The break is sublime: ‘take my hand, you can break my heart’ sung through a vocoder. We don’t aim to be too lyrical but… In June 2009 Kitsuné releases Autokratz’s album.
9. 80 KIDZ - Miss Mars
A Tokyo trio that’s crept up on the electro radar these last few months. They’re extremely polite, take great care of the way they dress; they’re Japanese and we believe the best of their scene right now.
10. JAMES YUILL - This Sweet Love (Prins Thomas Sneaky Edit)
Atmospheric and acoustic, check the contrast between the simplicity of the voice and the richness of the Prins Thomas remix. Extremely beautiful song, another vision of the sun. Because we’re talking of a maison and not a barn, Kitsuné likes to relax but not let go totally.
11. MEN - Make It Reverse
There had to be an act who would call itself Men. The lesbian scene moves in la Maison. A very militant sound, alternative sexuality, new hormones for a new life. They have as much energy as ‘radicality’, it quickly entices you to jump up and down. Very good very loud at four in the morning to do what you do at four in the morning.
12. CHEW LIPS - Solo
The sound of east London now today, not just another guitar band. Music that experiments and improvises among four tons of influences. The city’s urgency, the impatience, the vitality, the whirling.
13. CHATEAU MARMONT - Beagle
The thirteen track on the seventh Maison. Here are some French people impressed by the luxurious Californian hotel where fashionable actors come to die. They’re childhood friends, into science fiction, and down the end a sound quite hard to grasp.
14. HEARTSREVOLUTION - 薔薇と彼女の王子
The band behind the craziest track of Maison 6 makes a welcome return. Their album will come out in September 2009 and love will rain. They’re handsome, they have a Swarovski microphone, plenty of ideas, they’ll go a long way. True idols.
15. DELPHIC - Counterpoint (Delphic’s En Route Mix)
Delphic is a British band from Manchester, Kitsuné will release their album in September 2009. Influences range from Orbital to Underworld, very much what we like. To listen at sunset, sunrise and in between.
16. ENCORE –
An empty index, the moment people scream for an encore at a concert.
17. MAYBB - Touring In NY (Short Tour Edit)
Here hides a very, very famous guy who doesn’t wish to be named. So we can’t give away much, it’ll drive you crazy, but really we can’t tell you more.
18. RENAISSANCE MAN – Rythym
They’re Finnish from Helsinki, used to be students with Abäke, Kitsuné’s graphic designers. Yes there is nepotism too at Kitsuné. The result could be used as soundtrack for contemporary ballet, it sure cleans the aural pipes.
19. TANLINES – Bejan
Tribal and epic music from New York. Their own press release sums it up perfectly: “Balearic and disco Larry Levan-style with an insistent euphoric charm that’s perfect to blow up the soft-skinned British students.”
Beware Bonus: it’s the seventh issue, the lucky one, so one happy customer who will buy Kitsuné maison 7 will be lucky to win one year of free Kitsuné music. Everything, the compilations, the rarities, the remixes, the artists albums, he’ll get everything upfront.
Composed of Van Scott (writer/co-producer/vocals) and Jad Cooper (co-producer/engineer) I present to you Drlkt Freddie! With their release of the single, "Airtight", Drlkt Freddie have pulled together help from friends Dept, Sonic Truth and Tronik Youth.
Be Back to properly set these tracks up in a bit. I love them with all my heart.
What do we know about Krazy Baldhead? Not much besides the fact that he's released a few singles which you skipped over while listening to the Ed Rec compilation so you could get to the next Sebastian/Uffie/Justice track. In terms of albums go, I'm glad to see Ed Banger putting out more full lengths, but this one...I don't know how much longer it will stay in my library.
Instead of posting on a bunch of decent songs from my mailbox, I wanted to bring to your attention 1 completely solid new track from the upcoming 80Kidz album, "This Is My Shit". More Info can be found here. 
The protection of animal rights is important, but I don't think Pet Shop Boys is the divine vessel in which we should do it by.The band has turned down a request from an animal rights group to rename itself the Rescue Shelter Boys.
The organization, the People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals (PETA), sent a letter to Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe acknowledging that its request, at first blush, might appear "bizarre."
But, by changing its name, the band could raise awareness at every tour stop of the "cramped, filthy conditions" that breeders keep animals in before selling them to pet stores READ MORE
Like some sort of cocaine binge, the Black Kids rose and fell with equal amounts of love and hate from their listeners. Whatever your feelings are for the band, this new remix off their recently released E.P, "Cemetary Lips" is a wonderful track that nestles itself next to all the other chilled out breathy tunes you love.
Watch Out For Maximalists Dancefloor Cure 'The Probe' Dropping Soon Through Brilliantine Records, But Until Then You Can Dance To Our Latest Yuksek Remix.
APRIL FOOLS!
Once I saw that the instrumental for Fred Falke's remix of New In Town was floating around, I couldn't help but play with it. This is the first thing that came to mind (probibly due to the excess amount of Cudi I've been consuming).
Stereo Heroes were kind enough to hook me up with a look at their upcoming ep, Boom Slang. It is in my personality to be turned off by teasers (who wants to be teased), but after listening to this 8 minute promo, I have to say, I'm pumped. Once Rayflash hit around 6:32, I was sold. The E.P. is out everywhere today. Get it on itunes.
Because there aren't enough rap songs about wanting/needing/getting head.
Can't help but get sucked into the Tiga buzz. The first single off of Ciao! entitled "Shoes" received mixed thoughts. It took me a bit, but I eventually dove into the absurdity of "Shoes" and remembered how Tiga never takes himself seriously (sexy lightning always strikes twice btw). The remixes that have followed the Shoes have knocked away all previous doubt. 
Not really sure what's been keeping me from posting on the latest single by Dadalife; It's certainly not the play count, I can hardly tear myself away from this one. With an excellent assortment of bass, melody, build and synth this one will make a nice addition to your friday night club hopping mix. 
The boy is takin over, continuing his reign of dat new new king of hipster hop. ask about him.
I had to go through a couple minutes of set up (signing up with a firefox account/updating to the newest version) but after all this was done, I tried it out.
