Remix Sunday: Justice on the Radio Weekend

Tomorrow I start my adventure to become a studio engineer. I'm so excited that I'm at a loss for words for pretty much any conversation. After a year and a half of straight working my bawls off I'm going back to learn how to record your favorite bands and maybe win a Grammy. Yeah, that's my ultimate goal in life accept an award from the awards show that is just basically a circle jerk for industry hot heads. I wanna be one of those hot heads. Money, power, women, sold out arenas, music videos with naked bitches and champagne. That's the life for me. Oh wait, this is a music blog not my stoner dreams blog.

Theres a few remix's that I've been listening to non-stop this week. I thought I was tired of all this remixing and jive talking but I guess there are still some quality ones out there. First off there is obviously huge hype surrounding anything TV on the Radio these days. There new album 'Dear Science' is a strong candidate for album of the year already and really, who expected any less. Every TotR record put out so far has been an almost instant classic. Here's a remix to every ones favorite TotR song;

Staring At The Sun (Byran Hyde Remix) - TV on the Radio

Next remix? Justice. OH EM GEE! JUSTICE DID A REMIX?!!! HOW SURPRISING!!! It even sounds like a Justice remix. Who woulda thunk it? Still good...

As Above, So Below (Justice Remix) - Klaxons

Last on the docket comes a remix from a record that I consider to be the best of the year. Vampire Weekends' self titled debut has been played over a thousand times in my car and is probably gonna get spun a few more times before I throw it in the discount bin in my basement.

Oxford Comma (Burntpiano Edit) - Vampire Weekend

Thanks to The Mixtape Podcast for these lovely remixes and, by the way, when I'm inside Jessica Alba, I'll let you all know.

Remix Sunday

Australia's Van She have been popping out some tight remixes lately. Last month Bridging the Atlantic brought you a vocal re-work of Dragonette's 'I Get Around', and now we present this Kitsune Maison Compilation 3 electro-tastic remix of the Klaxons hit 'Gravity Rainbow' that sounds absolutely nothing like the original (in a good way). Keep your eyes on these guys.

Canada Signing In

Welcome to Bridging the Atlantic, the international blog sensation. I am coming in from Ottawa, Ontario and Andrew will be keeping your hipster playlist bumping from jolly old London, England. Periodically we'll have guest features from our friends, and though I am hesitant to forecast that our writing staff will multiply in both size and physical attractiveness in the coming months, it's safe to say that random contributions are a guarantee. Our tastes in music are diverse, so whatever it is you like from TV On The Radio to Sonic Youth to Peter Bjorn and John to Spank Rock to MF Doom, we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Klaxons - Golden Skans (zShare)

New Rave? Thanks to the good ol' NME these guys have been thrown into a blossoming pseudo-genre. Labels aside, Klaxons craft some dope shit that you can dance along with...for Rapture and Hot Chip fans.

Frightened Rabbit - Be Less Rude (zShare)

Frightened Rabbit are two brothers who take on drum and guitar duties, playing Americanized Glasgow indie. Harmonicas are probably my eighth favorite thing in the world, just ahead of bungee jumping and narrowly trailing Dave Coulier.
