Chateau Marmont - "Beagle"

While stalking twitter conversations between two favorite blogs, I heard Faisal (OHHCRAPP) tell Andrew (StoneyRoads) that "Chateau Marmont are the shit, they are sound engineers, they worked on countless top albums, we just dunno- i hope they rls album"

creeper = me (i know)

But that sparked my curiosity. I wonder who they engineer? As far as an album goes, the closest thing we have is their newest single, "Beagle" which drops with Kitsune 7

*forget all that*

In theory I should post Chateau Marmont but in all honesty that track is just decent *pretty great*. Prins Thomas is where it's at. Having Just remixed Junior Boys, its only natural that he work on James Yuill's latest single (jk everyone, I don't know anything about "James Yuill") That aside, here's my favorite track off Kitsune 7:

Chew Fu does the Diddy Bop + MMMatthias tackles Moderat

Rapidly gaining mad xp and leveling up (via moon stones and rare candies) NN is getting attention of some of my favorite upcoming remixers including Chew Fu and MMMatthias!

Chew Fu seems to be going the pop goes dirty route, in which he makes kids feel ok about listening to and keeping up to date with the latest pop trends by way of dirty dirty remixes. Joking aside, these mixes are top notch. I would drop any of these during a set and I do advise you to help Chew Fu out by RT his diddy remix to @IAMDIDDY.

$ Britney Spears - If U Seek Amy (Chew Fu)
$ Ciara - Love, Sex & Magic (Chew Fu)
$ P.Diddy - (Tweet This @IAMDIDDY) Diddy Bop (Chew Fu)

MMMatthias has been on the map for some time now, starting with his success of his remix of "The Youth" (cleverly stearing clear of the MGMT singles in order to stand out). His style is unique in the way that instead of requiring an acapella, he hi-jacks the song and manipulates it by supurb cut ups and then adds a sick beat.

His latest remix has less cut ups, and more climbing building euphoria. Apparat + Modeselektor + MMMatthias is a pretty great thing.

more goods coming soon, including your chance to hear what nashville electro sounds like, as well as an interview with Junior Boys & Max Tundra.

The Tables Have Turned...

We've had our fill of Passion Pit remixes (More to come I'm sure). But what happens when the remixed start to remix?

Is Passion Pit the new MGMT (in which you will begin to hate them after overexposure of remix upon remix)? 

Here's their rework of Dan Black's latest single, "Symphonies". The track is definitely one to get excited about, but will we be listening to this two weeks from now? We'll see...

Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse

"Dark Night of the Soul (Spanish: La noche oscura del alma) is a treatise written by Spanish poet and Roman Catholic mystic Saint John of the Cross. It has become an expression used to describe a phase in a person's spiritual life, a metaphor for a certain loneliness and desolation. It is referenced by spiritual traditions throughout the world."

It also happens to be the new collaboration between Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse.

It also happens to be really really good. Blending a smart collection of talent and changing up the pace from chilled out, to rocked out to spaced out, "Dark Night of the Soul" will be heavy on my rotation.

Star Trek

^ go see it. I almost cried in the first fifteen minutes.

I hardly ever cry

I'm also a die-hard star wars fan.

A++ JJ and crew.

Don't be one of the fools who sees this three months later and says "I mean I guess it was pretty good...I'd like it a lot more if it weren't so hyped".

^ not the best remix ever, but should keep you up and studying for finals.
ps they should change the name of this movie to, "Kirk gets choked a lot"

The Presets

Voted band Joseph would most likely go gay for in the NN yearbook, the presets have been popping up in various places with various goodies.

The duo doesn't get around to remixing much (I think the last one was for Silverchair RANDOOOOMMMM)

Thanks discodust for the remix and ohhcrapp for the live edit.
