This was mastered only 2 hours ago so it couldn’t come more fresh then this. Swedish singer Little Jinder is back with a new tune and we hear rumors about more exciting collaborations in the future (remember the last one with Drop the Lime?).

Time for some swedish talent again.

Addeboy vs. Cliff are the swedish production duo that used to play rock but switched to making dance music instead. They’re behind the banging Adam Tensta “My Cool” single and now they gave us their latest remix. This time, it’s far less suited for the club but instead we get a soulful and housey remix of a track called “Lights” which is the first single from Swedish singstress Jennie Abrahamsson. The duo is also gearing up for the release of their own single “Fine House” which features vocals from Anthony Mills + a debut album.

The French legend of symphonic dance - Sébastian Tellier - is about to release his third album next month, it’s entitled “Sexuality” and features production by Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo (of Daft Punk fame). We already heard a track from the album, the amazing “Sexual Sportswear” and now we get yet another teaser, “Divine” is described by Sébastian himself as: “a tribute to the Beach Boys and the Juicy Fruits (from the 1974 musical Phantom of the Paradise). It’s about a time of innocence – when having fun was more important than picking up girls.” Expect remixes from Pacific and Midnight Juggernauts.

This brings out memories of last summer when we listened to the latest TTA album repeatedly. Stevie Tech Nicks (remember his Mixin’ It Up?) was apparently commissioned by the good people over at Sincerely Yours to do this special remix for their upcoming promotion tour during the WMC in Miami. He wasn’t sure if this would be released properly and wanted to get it out there. Enjoy!

Baron Von Luxxury has been spreading his productions across the blogs like a wildfire, here is the first official remix of italodisco outfit Glass Candy who happen to be one of our favorite bands. Here’s what the Baron had to say about the remix:

“Here is the first official remix of a Glass Candy song, “I Always Say Yes (Baron von Luxxury Remix).” This is actually Parts II and III of what turned into a 19 minute remix of the song, in five different parts.

The original song “I Always Say Yes” is an icy disco masterpiece. I didn’t want to give it a “typical” remix treatment i.e. bump up the BPM, add slammin’ kick, distorted bass, compress like hell. I just felt that Glass Candy is the antithesis of the bloghouse banger aesthetic, and the track deserved something different. I focused on the fact that the original song has an unusual structure: there’s no chorus. There are plenty of hooks, to be sure, but no real refrain. So I decided to make something of a *reverse* remix.

I chopped up Ida No’s original vocal into dozens of individual phonemes, and rearranged each one to create an entirely new melody for the verse. Then I added all new music underneath - an entirely new song, really - to showcase the sound and retain the mystery and enigma of her incredible voice in a new context. Finally, I found a line from the original vocal, added a second vocal track and pitched it up to create a harmony, and thus was born the chorus. All the original vocal parts are retained, but completely re-ordered. The result is a blend of Schoenberg’s serialism meets the Cocteau Twins via Crystal Castles. At the end of the day I think I did the original justice, without doing it Justice.

Part III (also included in this Mp3) extends the same re-modelling idea to the original music, with the addition of silence as a new element. By contrast with part II, there is no vocal in this section, and I only added light percussion in parts. The absence of sound as a compositional element was inspired by Miles Davis’ famous line about the importance of “knowing when *not* to play.”
