DOM
Thursday saw my first post go up on Strangers In Stereo a supremely awesome collective of music bloggers from all over the place (both geographically and focus). It was a review of Tokyo Police Club’s new album Champ head on over to see what I thought of the sophomore release. But first give this remix of the LP’s first single Wait Up (boots of Danger). DOM pops the percussion and distorts both the vox and instrumentals giving the piece a intergalactic synthy flavor. It’s an ideal retake to soundtrack your pregaming ritual.

FOAMO
This remix by the UK’s Foamo takes a bit from Nas & Damien Marley’s incredible album Distant Relatives and ups the Jamaican grit factor. You’ll hear some retro horns and choppy percussions as the track builds to a fever. If you’re in need of a new addition to your summer dance party mix look no further. And be sure to check out the album the original song came from it is a mighty example of fine music making.

The gents of Major Lazer put together a full La Roux mixtape with their retakes on the electro groups already stellar tracks. The full set can be found here but the cross of chill uptempo beats over the original song’s smooth lyrics is a subtle and intriguing juxtaposition. All 14 tracks off the mixtape are equally as interesting, not all winners but certainly worth checking out.
