all the girls standing in the line for the bathroom...

I guess the popo's were supposed to come to campus and arrest people who have been downloading music. Like, put them in handcuff's and shit. I personally didn't see a thing but thought the whole concept was quite hillarious. Now, on to the music downloading...


Found this great EP from Herve off of neon skyline. I love the funk it brings and the smooth transitions between songs. A lot of mixes I've heard lately sound like they were made on programs that "try" to do all the work for you, and instead leave you with a crappy transition that slows one song to the other's speed. This one's pretty damn good.

This song is the full length off of the Ed Records EP that I'm sure you all just LOVE:

I really like this Justice remix by the Sunshine Brothers. Recently I've been swaying away from Justice and Daft Punk mixes because I find they are too similar to the original, leaving the listener to try and think what the hell is different about the remix. But this one you will recognize by the lyrics but find the bass beat quite different. Enjoy.

This is from a recent fav-blog of mine, curb crawlers. I like the lyrics, I like the bass beat, and I like the piano riff. Pretty good to say the least, douster is definitely somebody to look out for in the near future.

Found this gem off of solid goldberger. Its only like a minute long, but I thought it might bring something different to those who are politically conscious.

A Brooklyn Summer Story

DJ Never Forget has sent me this awesome Summer mix titled "Strangers into Friends: A Brooklyn Summer Story." He says it was created as an ode to his friends that he gets to come in contact with over the summer and those he hasn't met yet. Definitely what I keep in mind when I create the same mixes for my Summer road trips. It has some of my favorite semi-recent songs as well, definitely worth a listen.

remix the remix of the remix's remix.

I don't know what's been put in the water lately, but it seems like there are a billion remix contests going on. There's the "remix the original," "remix the remix" and "remix the remix somebody made of your remix." It gets a little confusing and I find it all quite over-rated. But I do believe that people who like to remix songs should do so, and then send them to me! I found this song off of 24 hours and I like it, but it needs "something." I don't know what that something is, and I myself am not a remix-er. So listen, download, get creative or not, either way it's still a pretty good song. If you read this blog on a somewhat frequent basis, send me an email at electroniccrack@gmail.com and let me know what you think about this music I post on here. I'd like to hear from the listeners, since I am one myself.

ready for the weekend

You might remember this post a while ago that introduced Casxio. It's not something I would normally post, but it's quite hip, I can feel it. They just released a four-song EP, featuring their hit "Seventeen." You can catch them April 22 in Vegas at the Beatles Revolution Lounge.

This one drops from fluo kids:

Somewhat disco-housy, the group Ice Cream hails from Berlin. This first one's on the verge of being progressive, but it isn't quite as fast or driving. The second one has some sweet guitar riffs, but I really like the back beat behind it all.

Ice Cream - Rockerz

I really like how sometimes you just run across a song and it grabs you in. It happens to you too, you know it. And right now I'm talking about The Whip. But the song I'm putting down is a remix by Crystal Castles, who I'm sure some of you have heard of. Definitely worth the download.

So I suck at updates recently. Busy busy busy. But here's the new Yelle video "JE VEUX TE VOIR" for your viewing pleasure.

spring break baby.

I'm going to Chicago! It's about damn time, for real. Less than a week...

But in the mean time, I found this off disco workout. I've been a fan of Squarepusher for quite some time now, and it's nice to hear somebody do a remix of him. Some of the electronic "hits" that I've been seeing on the blog-roll are lacking luster. I feel that a push towards remixing a song that's been out of mainstream minds for a while is much more desirable than the billion Hot Chip remixes or Boys Noize edits that are spamming the electro-cosmos. Now don't get me wrong, there are some remixes out there that are fantastic, such as Boys Noize's remix of Cut Copy's "Lights and Music," which I can't seem to get out of my head. But switch it up a bit. Challenge your listener. Make them think "now where have I heard that synth line/bass beat/horn section before?" To me, that's the most satisfying part of being a "listener." So check this out, tell Johnatron what you think, and then grab those dusty vinyls in your closet and put them to use.

March weather started out great at 64 degrees in Indiana! But now it's raining, and I'm almost positive it will snow by the end of the week. Oh well. Here are a few tracks you might have known about for weeks now or never heard in your life, but I like em and damn it I'm gonna share em.

i can STILL cook

As most of the obsessive blog readers know, there are a large amount of "I Can Cook" remixes, some good and some well, not so good. I got this sent to me today and I feel like it's worth posting because it doesn't stray too far from the original song but it is innovative none-the-less. So, enjoy!

casxio

Everybody's gotta check out "Seventeen" by LA-based group Casxio. I like it's new-age hipness crossed with jammers like Kool and the Gang and how it is interestingly labeled as coke-funk. Definitely gets me grovin, even when I'm completely exhausted with all that college goodness. You can tell by the sound that all of the individuals are great musicians. You can check them out on Myspace or at their website. And if you're interested you can see them playing Indie 103's "check-one-two" night on Monday Feb 25th at the Viper Room in CA.

cuba + ac slater

After 81 years of corrupt ideals and casualties, Fidel Castro resigned. Well, sort of. He won't be seeking another political term in Cuba. The man's got bad health and well, he's 81. It's probably time to take that vacation to the Bahama's he's always wanted.

However, in non-political pro-electronic news...

There was a V-Day party in New York that AC and others were playing at, but unfortunately I didn't check my email in time to tell ya'll about it! But you can check out the Famous Friends myspace to see what all the hype was about.


Im working on putting a streaming player on the posts so I can stop using zShare. I find it's pop-ups unnecessary and they really make my computer slow. Be patient, I'm learning. I've also got a few Kill the Noise and Lismore remixes headed your way, for your extreme electronic listening pleasure :]
