Another week, another grab bag of new remixes that have broken through the fog of, shall we say, less than stellar remix attempts I receive on a daily basis. It’s a nice mix of new and old faces providing you some rhythms to propel you through the week.
French Horn Rebellion
I tried to catch French Horn Rebellion’s Hype Machine set during SXSW but the clock gods were not operating in my favor. Listening to their remix of TWIPAC favs Savoir Adore makes me wish I had made a better effort. The brother Molinari clearly have a way with music as they flip “Bodies” on its head to make it down right disco. Isolating the vocals and adding some crazy synth action sheds all sorts of new light on the track. This one def gets a permanent spot on the summer jams playlist.

Clock Opera
This is the first remix of Marina & The Diamonds’ single to really have much of an effect on me. Clock Opera works with precision as they push the original ever so slightly to give it some grit. I wasn’t entirely familiar with Clock Opera before this but a little investigation revealed the British quartet have some tasty track of their own, might I recommend “White Noise.” Their album A Piece Of String, comes out June 7th and I may need to get me some of that.

Sammy Bananas
Currently bopping all over the place with his other project Telephoned Sammy had time to cranky out this chill little bounce. Considering it is crazy humid and the start of a new week – after a doozy of a weekend none the less – this jam’s low key vibe seemed fit just right into today’s slow churn. It had the perfect amount of pep to keep my head bobbing though dinner.
