Les Gillettes

02 16 2010
Les Gillettes is a fresh new Finnish act signed to Huoratron's New Judas label. They debuted their first release at the end of 2009 titled "Pompeii." It featured remixes from Obi Blanche and Mikix the Cat. We were all familiar with the Obi Blanche from the support it got from big name djs like Erol Alkan. Les Gillettes is back with a reissue of "Pompeii" on French label Kitsune. This new release features fresh remixes from Boy 8 Bit, Jokers of the Scene, and The Aston Shuffle. I must say all these new remixes are great. Enjoy! Les Gillettes - Pompeii (ALT) Les Gillettes - Pompeii (Jokers Of The Scene Remix) (ALT)

Many Men

As always, Gonzales delivers. It seems like he aims to prove that he can make any song sound good on piano. As if to prove my point, he is he is releasing his "Pianist's Envy Mixtape" sometime in the near future. The mixtape will feature this cover of 50 Cent's "Many Men" as well as Gonzales' interpretation of many other hip-hop and/or house classics.
And to give credit where credit is due, I believe Discobelle were the first ones to post this track, so big ups to them. They definitely know what they're doing over there. While were on the subject, they also recently posted an awesome new L-Vis 1990 remix, so here it is.

Last Dance (Kap10kurt Remix)

This is just one of those combinations that I never would have that of, but I'm so glad someone did.

It’s 1901. Still.

I'm happy to see someone keeping this track alive. I needed one more reason to keep listening to it. Memory Tapes is very rapidly gaining a reputation for putting out unpredictable remixes that rarely hit below the expected greatness. His new remix of Phoenix's "1901" is as out there as anything he's done, and for some reason I feel it is best described as a very unbalanced sound. In a good way. Check it out.
Bonus:
Phoenix recently covered Bob Dylan's "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" during a recording for a German magazine. It's cool to see them playing something with such a stripped down acoustic sound.

If only there were a Grizzly Bear version of every song.
