Dependable old Kitsune’s Autokratz latest release is straightforward fun. Sometimes it’s nice to have something delivered straightforwardly. Sometimes i don’t want subtle — i want fun served up to me on a platter, with a big juicy tomato on top. Sometimes i don’t want to have to figure things out. Today is one of those days. Perhaps it’s a consequence of late night antics, or maybe it’s a consequence of no antics at all.

Give me a fun, electro-ish semi-anthem that i can smile about and move my feet for. Thoughtless enjoyment. Stay the Same is 4:30 of just that.

Can somebody help me? I mean, I like the Cazals and all since Poor Innocent Boys first came out but they are not too different from other punkish indie bands from London. Nevertheless we’ve already heard 4 singles from the upcoming LP. They are getting a lot of attention from the coolest remixers and NME apparently. And their guitarist, Luca, is making nice electro mixtapes. Rockstars can be into electro, that’s right. What of Our Future is coming out on 26th of May. Buy it when it does or pre-order it now.

Gonna share with you the song titled Comfortable Silence which is nice slow, atmospheric stuff with jingles. You also have the Kunk-guest awesome Blamma! Blamma! duo’s remix of Somebody, Somewhere which is, according to the Blammas “boot blower” and it certainly is. Drags and pushes like a windstorm.

I won’t post any more Cazals for a very very long time.

The new single from Cazals gets heavy attention. Kitsuné did a really nice job getting artists to work on this one. On the single there’ll be remixes from many Kunk favourites: from Blamma! Blamma! and LIFELIKE till Moulinex. What an awesome release! Go and buy it.

I’m gonna post the Moulinex remix because we’ve been posting about the others recently.

Moulinex is Louis, an awesome dj guy originally from Portugal but he lives in Munich, Germany now. He grew up on great music not like idiot oldschool house or techno. He was listening to Pink Floyd, Moroder, Kraftwerk, Sun Ra. Of course he’s influenced by French stuff like Daft Punk as well. However, he is way ahead of anything Boys Noize ever made. He remixed kap10kurt, SymbolOne, Cut Copy, Xinobi and Cryptonites, lot of the bands that Kunk are fond of. Seems like they are gonna tour Austrialia with Xinobi. I suppose they are gonna have a big fanbase there. He must be huge this year.

If you wanna get into it start with the Cut Copy thing, continue with Xinobi remix, listen to the Cazals one and then move to his own songs, first Break Chops and then everything else.

Bigstereo just came up with a new Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya track! It sounds really great. Vocals remind me of French singer-songwriter girl SoKo. This artificial cuteness. Fuck Friend (video) was a somehow like this though I can’t explain how. This song is heavy on drums and rhytm and the whole thing is quite clean. Makes me feel claustrophobia like in a hospital room or whatever. The sound is darkish disco. We await the debut on Kitsuné. Singer girl must be awesome live.

Continuing our series of absolutely sick remixes from the UK. Revolte is a French duo (famous among other things for remixing Voyager by Daft Punk and being on a Kitsuné compilation). According to DiscoDust they rarely work face to face together, they do the stuff through the internet, and the two of them have completely different approaches to music. GRUM is a producer guy from the UK who had started with 80s funk stuff a while ago. So now the strangely named GRUM (after mixing Late of the Pier, Armand van Helden, Kings of Leon, Love Motel) took this already cool track and created a hybrid of dancefloor-filling electro and weird sounds, synths, chopped vocals, etc (kinda feels like a twisted SebastiAn rework). Check GRUM’s own tracks as well and the We Are Terrorists remix of the same Revolte track too.

The latest track in the catchy-as-hell discopunk beat slew of bands comes to us via Kitsune records and, not surprisingly, contains ‘punks’ in the name and ‘disco’ in the song title. Awww yeah! A straightforward clarion call to you, yes you — with drink in one hand, minor shuffling of one foot — to knock it back and get involved, because before you know it, those getting involved years are in the rear view mirror.
