Classixx the 2 gentlemen responsible for that amazing remix of Phoenix’s “Lisztomania” were kind enough to answer a few questions about themselves and their music. They are definitely going to be a big part of my Summer ’09 soundtrack. Can’t wait for more slick feel good productions from this duo.

Asian Dan Interview: CLASSIXX

1. Who is CLASSIXX? How would you describe your music.

Classixx are Michael David and Tyler Blake. Our music is hard to describe, we tend to like the blend of organic and synthetic musical elements, a nice groove and soulful melodies.

2. What are some of your influences? What was your first musical memory?

Our influences include.. World Music, Modern Funk, Ambient stuff, Kraut Rock, Disco grooves etc.. I remember Seeing Paul Simon at the Rhythm of the Saints w/ my parents in 91′. I was about 6, thats my earliest conscious musical memory.

3. What is the goal of CLASSIXX’s music?

Just to reach as many people as possible, and to enjoy it.

Miike Snow – Burial

8-Bit remix by Miike Snow. I like the Policey/Peter Gabriel/Phil Collins touch they added and that they retained the original chorus. Pop music gurus.

Boys Noize returns, and does it again. I like Jeffer’s squelching synth melody a lot more than “Starter”, check out “Starter” on his myspace.

Super fun summer tune by 80kidz and Hey Champ, Saam from Hey Champ has quite a nice falsetto that ads this lofty, carefree summer vibe to the song.
