The Canyons have been getting a lot of love since the release of their Ladyhawke remix (bigstereo, HERE and HERE; electrorash, HERE) , but what raised my robot ear was the accompanying mix — Linus Loves seems to be back in the game after being silent (at least to me) for the past two years. Is this a return of sorts? I hope so. It’s strange cos I had a big boner for this guy in the mid 2-double-0s… but just as quick as he seemed to be everywhere, poof, gone. In a similar sound/vein: I think Mylo sorta did the same although he is still lining up gigs these days.

It’s funny know how the tracks feel so lightweight in comparison to electro-bangerville which emerged only a short time later. Not necessarily lightweight in a bad way, mind you, just lightweight. Juxtaposing Linus Loves with Sebastian, for example, is like comparing a butterfly to a monster truck… both beautiful in their own way but in totally different weight classes.

Have a listen to the recent work on Miss ‘hawke and i’ve laid it down with a couple of my faves from a few years back, VH1 and Rock Chk (with that brilliant Siouxsie Sioux riff…).
