Winter Is Gonna Be Long and Cold

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Hi. Kunk is very busy preparing some stuff, so blogging, unfortunately, again had to wait. This is not a super unique post either and I’m usually not doing it like this but now I’m just gonna share some remixes I really liked in the past couple weeks. Kinda trying to set stuff to the winter-mood we have here. You know, fog and rain and colder than fall should be. I’m in between dancefloor-exploding hotness that melts the coming snow and the ice-queen coolness and beauty that has its home in the clouds around the mountaintops. So my choices are: Yeah Yeah Yeahs remixed by A-Trak. This one is huge, I know, I’m surprised I like it because I never liked A-Trak but this mix kills it. Another one is by Treasure Fingers who entered the remix contest for Little BootsEarthquake. Epicwave remix indeed. Talking about dancefloor-killers, the brilliant Russ Chimes did it again with Marina and the Diamonds. Closer to the coldness, Siriusmo’s laid-back mix of Chromeo’s new single is an awesome ’summer is dead’ tune. The XX would be definetely cool background music for a winter video, probably fashion-y kids holding hands and trying to make things work in a ski camp or something. Rory Phillips‘ mix stays on the XX mood and makes it an abstract dance track. Au Revoir Simone and Neon Indian is a great pair, the latter’s remix of Another Likely Story bears a beautiful dream-like quality. Thanks for the tracks to various blogs around.
