2 tracks on the 22nd

The first one, I believe is from an Italian opera, I listened to it on Tim Sweeney's show Beats in Space when he was having Mike Simonetti from Italians do it Better as a guest, it took me a long time to figure out its name, but now I have it on my iTunes and I'm so happy because it is so fucking good:



The second one is an astonishing collaboration between Matias Aguayo the enfant terrible of minimal techno with my newest favorite duo from Paris: Discodeine.

Robert Smith is not in love

"What a weeeird combo" I thought a couple of weeks when I read that Crystal Castles had a song featuring Robert Smith, the legend from The Cure, this song exists on the band's second album Crystal Castles II but they released this enhanced version which I really like, it's melancholic, upbeat and catchy as hell, what a formula huh!? the kind of thing you get when using the unforgettable Robert Smith's voice on a CC track. I know you're sick of reading my senseless lines so I better shut it and you better download it here -> Crystal Castles ft. Robert Smith - I'm not in love (save as to download it)

A couple of months ago I finally joined Vimeo which makes the function of a mailbox for high quality video makers in an era where hybrid sites between web and tv rapidly increase, if you haven't go to vimeo.com, create your own account and lose yourself among the tons of amazing works that are daily submitted in there.

1. Your lucky day: a very well made short movie influenced by contemporaries as Guy Ritchie and Tarantino.

Your Lucky Day from Dan on Vimeo.

2. Break-ups: a series in which the actors improvise the whole sketch, particularly in this episode the guy we see on the screen is the creator, director and editor: Ted Tremper.

3. Bicycle city: was created for the Danish Pavilion at the Shanghai EXPO 2010, according to its website 5.58 million people visited the Denmark's pavilion and I believe most of them stopped to contemplate this beautiful video.

Oldies circa 2010

It's been a while since my last post and I'm more than happy to come back with and to share these great refixed, remixed, revisited, "call it what you want" tunes.

I know tons of people do not truly appreciate their favorite bands tracks being "refixed" what's that refix b.s.? they must be thinking right now, specially when talking about huge bands such as The Cure and Nirvana; but I invite you to download them, listen to them and who knows maybe play them over and over again for the next week.




Jaques from Austin uploaded to Soundcloud this refix of one of my favorites by The Cure.

This duo from Paris accomplished in an amazing way to transform Kurt's cries for help into pretty danceable french house vocals. Keep an eye on The Hijack Brothers, they could be the emerging Falke and Braxe of the 2010's.
