So this is So Me’s third stab at producing/remixing tracks. I have been impressed with his stuff and am excited to hear what other music he has created. This track is even Erol Alkan approved.
“I can vouch for So Me.. he has been sending me his music for a while now, some of it as work in progress stages.
The middle instrumental section of his Busy P remix is really, really good. Could be a seperate track in itself.”Erol Alkan Forum

So here is the real thing and it is really good 🙂 That shitty 2 min radio rip has nothing on the real thing. Enjoy!

This interview is genius. I love how Xavier explains their songwriting process. Sometimes I forget that these guys are pop music geniuses.

Here is a fantastic acoustic version of the Mystery Jets’ latest single “Two Doors Down”. The string section is a great touch, it shows how versatile their songs are as well as them as musicians. Unfortunately this is a rip from a webstream so there are a few computer beeps that interrupt the songs.Mystery Jets Live on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge

Here is the Mystery Jets cover of the Jesse McCartney written tune, “Bleeding Love” by Leonia Lewis. It is a great arrangement of this hit song.Mystery Jets – Bleeding Love (Leonia Lewis Cover)

Daft Punk – Aerodynamic (Kurtech Remix)
Kurtech finally found this track and sent it over to me, he wants everyone to know that this was his first remix ever and that he has learned a lot more, pssh this is such a great remix of Daft Punk, a feat that very few people have achieved let alone a 17 year old producer from down under 🙂 Enjoy!Asian Dan Interview: KURTECH

The Virgins just released their self-titled album at the beginning of the month and it is totally different than their ’07 EP. This is a polished pop album that Hall & Oates would be proud of. The album reminds me of a sunnier and poppier version of Cazals with lyrics about rich upper east side girls. They reworked and tweaked all the songs from their EP that appear on the LP, like “Rich Girls” which sounds so polished and pop and “Love is Colder Than Death” has completely new instrumentation with saxophone taking the main role. Rock and roll is on its way back.The Virgins Myspace

“Murder” is a funky 80s tune with vocals that sound so much like Elvis Costello especially during the hooky chorus. I love the wah-wah guitar. Everything is so perfect and pop!! I love it!

Here is a fantastic Oceania collaboration, Cut Copy remixing Ladyhawke. I am a big fan of Ladyhawke remixes especially the Fred Falke remix and this one is just as good. Thoughts??
